i thought about them, but they are well over an hour away !!them colchester, me romford !! any other ideas please people

thanks for that, i aint goin anywhere near it, im going to give them the oil and tell them to use it for the service, just need to find the right place to get to work on it !!

^

next question is, if i buy oil and get the garage to use it when its serviced, how much oil do i need ???

^

where do i get elf and silkolene olils from ??? ive never seen them anywhere ! also from what i remember my 16v never used to sound like a diesel when cold ???

im going to sound dumb here, but will normal castrol in 10w 40 be fine, as with the magnatec it sounds awful (like a diesel) when cold.

as i put in my other post about the oil grade to use, where is there in essex who can service my valver is due its 90k service soon, i know there is bb pt but they are well over an hour away from me in colchester, where as im in romford, i rang southhill garage (i been recomended them) in...

my valver is due its 90.000 mile service soon, i had magnatec put in it on its last service at 84k, however i am not happy with the oil, the grade in it is 10w 40. is it still ok to use this grade oil (another make obviously) as the engine has done a fair few miles now, i spoke to a...

i saw this on one of them watch dog type programmes, where they drove to france in their reno and got it serviced there, and they even saved money including the petrol!! however i reckon they must have had too much time on their hands, as its alond way to go for a service !!

172gal, elephant, i thought it was a good quote !! i pay 935 fc with elephant at the min, with 1 yr ncd im male btw, as cat is my initials its not short for catherine or any thing !!!

thats b*llocks mate !!! i knowe how u feel some cnut did my passenger door a while ago, and only last week some c*ck stole 2 of my centre caps, i found the colour polish with the crayon you get in halfords to be ok at filling in the scratch until you can get it painted properly

when i got quoted a cup always came out cheaper to insure then the 172, 23 with 2yrs ncd (in june) £1200 f/c for a cup and £1300 for a 172 cant wait till june when ive got 2 yrs, and then i ll hopefully be after a cup !!!

i found giving my rad a bloody good flush out worked a treat, before it was 23degrees coming out of the vent on 1 now after a flush it is 43 so it suits me, but yes it is colder the faster the the speed.

eh ?? you dont need a key for them !!!

i dont like phase 1 wheels sorry, i want to keep it standard and i like phase 2 wheels so i want to leave them on it, ill just have to drive it around cap less, until i work out of way of securing them. I hate theiving scum, they deserve a slap (and will get one if i ever catch one)

i know mate, i cant stand theiving scum they make me sick !!

rant here, Q, how easy is it for some f*cking a$$hole to steal your centre caps of your valver , A, too bloomin easy !! go to southend for a few games of bowling with your mates, return to your valver a few hours later and hey presto, some theiving cnut has stolen the passenger side...

try paul maitchell as he specialises in them mailto:paul@infinicar.com">paul@infinicar.com i think is his e mail address failing that your local reno scrappy, and hope they got a 16v in there.

i knew it was over there somewhere :oops: rasp i think u are right !!!

went down southend a while back and saw about 300,000 blue 16vs & wlliams all parked up in a line by the casino, as i was looking for a 16v at the time thought id look in. and here i am.

change the oil in it, and dont use magnatec as it makes it sound like a diesel from cold. (mine sounds the same, but didnt till i put that sh*t in it) so its an oil cahnge all the way then !!!

isnt there a key hole for this down the passenger side footwell ?? put the key in and turn it off, alternatively get the place where you are having the alarm fitted to disconnect the old one. thats what i did when i got my cat 1.

dont think id take my car to that garage know he rags the ar$e of the car !!

very true, it is only worth it on a cup, round my there is J*GTE on an astra gte, only worth some thing on a gte !!!

its 137bhp at the fly remember , so it would prob be 115-120 on the road, im sure i will be corrceted if im wrong !! also i wouldnt mind seeing what you get as mines standard (i know it will vary from car to car but a rough guess will do)

ive got a rubber thing which grips it, with out scratching the thing you want to get off, i couldnt get mine off by hand, but this thing got it off a piece of p*ss !!!

that plate is mint !!! from what i remember the dvla auctioned it, and it did go for something like a grand.

i got quoted more for a 172 than a cup, which i thought was odd, they came out about £300 more than now for my 16v, performance wise, i wouldnt worry about it (my dad has a 172) as i went from a, ahem !! 1.1 fiesta (it was a minter) to my 16v with no problems with the power difference of it...

yeah man, id ask for the money back, when my 16v had its last service, i asked too see the bits they had changed, i even marked the old oil filter to make sure... the cheeky fecker even goes, do u wanna see the old oil !! when i got back they had all the bits in plastic bags ! and they did...
