    How much should I charge to clean a Escort Van with Rotary?

    It will easily get rid of scratches and swirls but the problem is you can end up adding micro swirls. Have to do it in levels and is tricky with black cause of the deepness of the shine. Will have a chat with my mate. Thing is we haven't got a tool to test depth so if it's been done a lot...

    How much should I charge to clean a Escort Van with Rotary?

    Not PC rotary. PC is safe where as you can make a right mess with Rotary if you don't know what your doing! James £34.56 what would that be including VAT. Like you say Escort van. Lot easier than my black ph1 This is a Fiat Scudo before:

    How much should I charge to clean a Escort Van with Rotary?

    It's for a mate. He wants to pay me so how much should I say? Bear in mind I need to buy new sponge and compound.

    YEAH! Had AUX belt done at last!

    Done half at tank now and it still sounds a little whiny. Bit like a turbo does sometimes. Should be settled in by now surely. Can the pre-tensioner be set wrong?

    what oil do ppl use?

    I use Millers 5w-40 and change every 6k

    Do I need new bushings?

    Nearside wheel has slight wobble. Took it off other day and mate said could be bearing but it's not bad enough to be that noticeable. He seems to think it's the exhaust. Something to do with losing traction in wet (axle tramp) causing everything to shake making exhuast rattle around the cat...

    Mark 2 Ph1 172's... what are the weak points?

    I hate that with belts. People claiming to of had them done just to sell car. Not nice when they go and you end up with £800 bill.

    YEAH! Had AUX belt done at last!

    To be honest I could live without it quite happily but spent £150 fixing it so feel like I've got to defend it.

    Do I need new bushings?

    When I go over bumps handling becomes unsettled and a rattle seems to come from near wheels or at least that area. Done engine mounts and can happen when not accelerating hard.

    Should be fine then. Will do some driving today and get back to you.

    Mark 2 Ph1 172's... what are the weak points?

    Just one point you listed CAM and AUX belt. If it had FSH you should of known that they needed doing before you brought it. Mines got Renualt FSH and I can just ask them whats been done and it's all on computer. If it's not Renault history you want to be seeing reciepts for work to cover yourself.

    Thats good. Think you get 10%. Mention it when you go and he will round price off to a nice fiqure. Escpecially if cash.

    YEAH! Had AUX belt done at last!

    Yeah. I remembered tat technique when stuck in traffic! What is the idler bearing? Is it not part of the kit?

    Changing Aux belt, Help, Advice, Tips?

    Sound right price. With club discount etc. Money worth spending as it can take out your cam belt.

    Mark 2 Ph1 172's... what are the weak points?

    Honda parts are just as expensive and the whine of the Supercharger just don't do it for me. Parts aren't that bad just don't pay the stealers to do the work! Mine has cost me since owning in four months but good research on a site like this will let you know what you are in for BEFORE buying...

    Sorry didn't realise was a different thing?

    anyone raced a v6?

    It#s that MR setup that makes them so great. A lot of cars to be honest struggle 0-60 with 1*2 but high speed the game changes.

    A good tip, ref 172/182

    Funny cruise control that. I drive Volvos S80s and Vectra Diesal all week and all off them let you go quicker. Just tap break and floor it. If your having them troubles I might be safer to not use it!:clown:
