I've been told that this is not good practice, but if using heavyweight axle stands all over, I can't see how its any worse than relying on a pair of wheels not rolling away.

Anyone know? I have 15" Eurosports Octanes.

NSS!

I can't find a bad report about H&R, but K-Tecs Ultimates are half the price from a company that usually sells quality stuff. A good compromise to save £100s for other mods? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1049

Well if that was your point, you're not very good at explaining yourself. You said: <you always see them on "done-up" cars, but never run of the mill cars owned by people in their 40's> Neither part of the statement was accurate without further clarification so I was just confirming what you...

HIDs are now being installed more and more as standard in a lot of cars aimed at this agegroup, but true, not in 'run of the mill' ones yet.

Do you have any evidence for this? I'd be interested and surprised if HIDs don't provide improved vision for the driver. All the evidence I've read suggests that improved output and colour temperature results in a clearer, longer view. Their usefullness would also depend on what kind of driving...

If the siren has its own battery then cutting the wires will probably just set it off for ages until it runs out. If it doesn't have an inbuilt battery then you might as well just cut the wires because it can't work if there's nothing powering it. Then just follow the cables and detach anything...

By saying 'I understand can't be fitted with HIDs to the original units' I simply meant that I was under the impression that they aren't physically compatible. It isn't entirely clear whether insurance would be invalidated just because the DFT make an announcement based on it's 'view'. If you...

Don't even go there. :nono:

I quite like it! Putting preferences completely aside, would you sayt that it was a spoiler, or a wing? (and why)

That's right,the fan goes in front of the engine.

Wow, no replies for 2 hours, then 6 in 4 minutes! How topical!

So, would you say you quite like it?

All too scared to give a 1st opinion?! Perhaps I should have just put up an anonymous poll.

If I installed a Cobra tilt alarm on an pro installed Cat 1 Toad system (just a coupleof wires to an input), would it invalidate my insurance? :nono:

My bet would be to go with a modified insurance co who know your needs, like Adrian F*cks. They'll drop you £100s!

Can you confirm, was it definately superglued on a thread?, thanks!

Has a tie grip, but the knob is much bigger than the neatly sewn hole on top.

Is there a trade name? Which section in store?

It must have taken 1 hell of a tug? Is there danger of ruining the whole gear column for the sake of a £10 knob? Although now spent >£40 on new gaitor and surround).

No the gaitor is a shite, plastic one. And they are screwed but heavily glued on, aparently.

Anyone tried this?

:rasp:

Cool.

Insurance with 172 = £480 tpft with Adrian Fux, 2 yr NCB, 32 y/o Yeah, I don't like Lexus lights on early Clios either. Bit too modern for my liking but each to his own. The originals suit the mk1s perfectly imho, but alas can't use HIDs : ( £15 unbelievable price tho! And £500 with 35k, damn...

I know youre not really supposed to use the sticker of the alarm youre using, but do you think it really matters? The toad stickers match my bodywork better than others.

I want to change to a leather gaitor. Do the knobs twist / pull off?
