Cool, the bloke at Top Gear said he can do it on the 24th, so Im thinking its gonna get done.....might be more initially but should last a hell of lot longer than a standard exhaust.
I have just started noticing a strange rumbling sound from the middle section of my exhaust.
Previously I had thought the whole system was stainless, but it turns out its just the back box.
Im in a dilemma at the moment, should I go with a standard exhaust say from kwik fit etc or spend the...
Can any one help me.
I am almost needing new pads all round on my Williams 3.
The bloke who usually does my car for me has quoted me a price for new pads and fitting. But what I was wondering it it easy enough and cheap enough to do myself with basic tools and a drive to work on?
If it is...
Definately worth getting one, I went from 16v to Williams and the difference was something I didnt expect.
Tis worth shopping around though. I have just bought a Williams 3 with 53k on a 95 N.
I reckon from my search for a Williams you are best putting aside some cash to get the Wheels...

Hey Chris where abouts in Bolton is it, next to HW Audio? Just got a sold the Valver and got a Williams and it needs the wheels doing.
Are you gettin the Cup wheels done? They knackered already?
Its Rob C by the way, probabbly dont recognise my screen name.
My first quote from 16v to Williams was double at around £1200
I managed to get a cheap deal from Elephant £649 Fully comp £250 Excess, Protected No claims.
I think Insurance group for 16v is 12 and Willy is 17, big hike.
The £649 quote was the cheapest by far, I tried HIC, Adiran Flux...
So do you guys reckon the deal at National is a good one? Duckhams QXR, what grade of oil do you get with that, and more importantly are they to be trusted with the Williams?
Am I right in assuming the speakers in the front door are 13cm speakers?
If so anyone have any ideas of some makes models to replace them with, preferably with an online shop?
Cheers
Rob
Cheers Lads, Car was HPId and was all clear.
I would apreciate it sbmbailey if you could do me one, Ill try and get a good pic tomorrow in daylight or if possible Northy you could email me your jpeg?
I have just got myself a Williams 3 today, and I didnt notice that there only appears to be 1 Williams 3 sticker on the back wing?
Should it have stickers on both side at the back?
If there is meant to be two, obviously the panel has been replaced sometime in its life.
Is it stil...
My Valver was Metallic Grey ish K Reg, I just seem to remeber having a play with a Naples Red Valver, probabbly last summer, first and last time I ever came across a Valver on the road, thats why I remeber it. I remeber the car being mint and feeling slightly ashamed that mine looked grotty and...
I agree Darwen is sh*t tip, but I do live in a decent-ish part of the town.
I also thought I had quick Valver too till I drove the Williams ;)
I pick the beast up tomorrow so Im thinking I will be cruising around looking for some fun :) might see you around.
Come to think of it looking at...
Daz0rz Im actually from Darwen, but nobody ever knows where that is so thats why I usually say Blackburn.
The garage I got it from was located in Bolton, cant remeber the name off the top of my head.
I dont recall ever seing a Williams around BBurn Darwen area before, thought Id be the first...
I was wondering if anyone new of a place in or around the North West, Lancashire if poss, that could refurbish my Williams alloys?
Does the price depend on the condition of the wheels?
Anybody know what type of price I would be looking at?
Any info appreciated.
Cheers
Rob
If anyones interested in this saga, I have bought the Williams and I am picking it up first thing in the morning. Eee I cant wait :D
Looks like I might have to stump up my membership fees now I have a Williams.
Cheers for all you help guys, I really appreciated it
Rob
Cheers matty, its a bit further away from me, I take it;s London village from the tel no.
I am going to go over this afternoon and have another look at the car in real light and not a showroom.
I am in two minds about it at the moment, on one hand I want to snap it up, but on the other I am...
Well I have just come back from the test drive. And I was impressed with the Williams as I have never drove one before.
First impressions wer the car is immaculate, on closer inspection there are no dings or dents, both arches have the paint bubbling roughly a centimetre in length the rust...
Yeah I was only really thinking about £5-600 for the Valver in the condition its in, wish I had sorted them out when I bought it 3 years ago!
Ben, I had noticed a lot of 50K mileage Williams in my short search so far, makes me very nervous when going looking, especially as I have no extensive...
Cheers Northy for the offer of help ;)
The car is actually based in Bolton so not too far from you.
What I think Ill do is nip over during the week after work and check its not a total dog, then if its worth a further inspection bob over in daylight hours at the weekend and maybe you could...
Cheers for the info guys loads of good info for me to ponder.
Im based in Lancashire up near Blackburn.
Just been looking around at quotes for insurance on the net, I almost fell of my chair with some quotes £2100 fully comp nearly talked myself out of it.
I didnt realise there was such a...
:o £1400/1600 Really?? I was only thinking about £500-600, oh well goes to show what I know.... thought Valers would depreciate a lot worse. It probbably because I know every single fault on the car and it affects how I would price the car
