Whats the general consensus, do you think i'll be able to sell my 182 ff racing blue on 74k that needs the belts done for £3000?? gearbox is still under warranty which is a nice bonus!!
Thoughts?
Dont feel you have to defend it, if you like it thats cool. Ive seen 182's go for cheaper than this tho so in my eyes its not even cheap. Each to there own innum.
Data recovery from a failed HD is possible but a pro would charge £200+ and its usually charged per Gig, I wouldnt put any faith in a freecom HD!! they are budget as you like but that said no more likely to fail than any other non pro solution. Gtech do awesome drives and warranty the...
I think they look a bit fiddly to suit the clio but i could be wrong its real hard to say until they are on, its certainly not a safe bet and its a decision i would want to get right baring in mind the monies involved.
A 182 would rinse a 172!! As long as you made sure you didnt blow the welds on the intake it would be game over as soon as the Vtec kicked in imo iirc ftw
Mark Fish top mounts are the dogs danglies, cant imagine you'll see much change from £400 mind. There is talk that you can buy washers that will eliminate excessive top mount movement, could be worth a look if your not thinking of spending 3 figures.
"especially when the wheel is not the part that is deteriorating" eeeerr what? have they never seen a 1*2 steering wheel? mines looked like its been melting since 30k miles. Anyone that can bring a thumb grip replacement to market for around £30 will do very well for themselves imo.
Keep putting pressure on the garage to fix the car + the aux/timing belt maybe ask citizens advice about where you stand as im sure you'll get both problems fixed if your firm enough with the garage.
I know its no wonder fix but im just happy it drives and ive got it home, plus now ive got the 182 back :D public transport sucks balls!! next time it fails i think it might mysteriously catch fire..
Ok my last week has been a nightmare, my girlfriends car broke down with a suspected clutch/gearbox issue we had it towed to my friends workshop (he breaks cars so has all the tools we might need) he looks under the bonnet tells me the clutch cable has broken and we'll need to get the box out to...
When i first had my Gaz coils they came with 250lb front springs i changed them for 400lbs and sent my front shocks back to Gaz to have the bump increased (made the front shocks firmer) the adjustment on the my front Gaz shocks adjusts rebound (how quick the shock returns from being compressed)...
I thought that till i saw one today it looked sweeeeet!! Would never be my first colour choice but then again neither would the red and that looks amazing too!! its a tough call really.
When my box died it cost me £1000 to get the car back on the road :( i wish i had bought a secondhand box but my hands were tied at the time. The garage i took my car to said stripping the box was an 8 hour job!! so it was never going to be cheap.
