What sort of price (on average) is an alloy wheel refurb and what is the waiting time?
I want mine refurbed, just black again and was wondering what sort of price this process costs?
Cheers
Hi CS,
When driving, when changing gears I hear a slight knock but it sounds like it's coming from the boot?
The boots empty so there is nothing in there to make the noise.
It's as the car judders between gear change, the knocking sounds happen.
What could this be?
Hi guys, probably a silly question but where am I going wrong in snow foaming my car?
I'm aware as I'm only using Demon snow foam it won't be the best foamer but mine is literally like white water.
I have the k'archer K2 and that came with a snow foam attachment which doesn't have a thickness...
I went to sell my Mk2 earlier and the key snapped. (The plastic from the metal)
I can can still use the key as long as the plastic is near the ignition barrel.
Problem is, I have a spare key, I tried to sync this by holding down the door lock switch, waiting for immobiliser to be solid red...
Just a quick one, when I turn off my traction, it says it has been "desactivated" as opposed to deactivated.
Is this normal?
I understand it could be the French spelling but the rest of the computer is in English so it's strange this stands out.
Cheers
Hi guys,
I was expecting a lot quicker acceleration from my 197, however, it seem's fairly sluggish.
Is there a known bad spot on the 197 that needs mapping out or are they generally not too quick at acceleration?
Once it gets going it flys but the initial take off is slightly disappointing...
I'm not going to lie - I am useless with cars, however, I recently bought a 197 which came with Brembos.
When I slow down from high speed, there is a lot of rattle in the steering wheel.
I've been told this is probably warped discs.
Now, my question is - because it's a brembo system, do I...
At the minute, my private plate is on my MK2, I want to put the normal plates back on to the MK2 and then put the custom plates on the 197 and then keep the 197 plates off any vehicle until I come to sell it.
What form should I be looking for? DVLA centres all shut down now and I went in person...
Hi, I have seen threads on this before but I was wondering if someone could enlighten me to what cable I would need to keep all steering wheel controls working with an aftermarket head unit?
Also, is there any way to keep all of the display at the top. (Station, time, temperature)
Cheers,

Hi guys - recently bought my 197 - when I stop the car and park up, smoke (looks white/clear as opposed to blue/black) comes out of one side of the exhaust for a good 10/15 minutes.
I took this in to a garage next to work and he said he can't see anything wrong but I thought I'd ask you guys if...
The company I work for, the boss has just bought a bulk selection of Micro SD cards.
We have been told these are "expandable" and the capacity varys from 4gb to 32gb.
Could someone explain this to me please? I don't understand what determines how much you get from the memory card?
Thanks,
Lee
Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a new vehicle on the weekend. I would be travelling 5 hours to see it.
Say for example I bought it there and then, how would I go about insurance? Is there a "day insurance" kind of company, enough for me to get it home and then go from there?
Cheers
So, found a nice 197 - I've asked the seller to be straight out honest with any problems.
Small dent (fine!)
He's also said condensation in headlight due to a bulb being changed and the rubber not being put back on correctly and it's now correct and should dry out.
Two other faults, last MOT...
Hi guys,
Look at a couple of 197's this week and debating buying one.
If you own one, could you tell me your own personal pros and cons to the vehicle?
Is there anything in particular to look for when viewing the cars? Common defects etc?
Cheers
Hi guys - whenever my car is parked overnight and it's been raining heavily, I'll wake up in the morning and leave for work.
Stupid amounts of water comes pouring through the interior light, mainly when I break slightly harder, turn quite sharp or accelerate quick.
Any ideas what this may be...
Hi guys.
Found a 197 on eBay, States it had bodywork done in 2011 and is registered a Cat D on vcar.
Might be a silly question but what does this affect?
I understand what a Cat D is but because of this history, will it up my insurance etc?
Cheers
Hi all,
Was just wondering about an issue regarding mailing lists/newsletters.
Basically, we want to send newsletters to 250,000 customers, twice a day.
We currently use Emarsys to do this but they don't allow you to use data you have bought.
What is the best way to go about this?
ie; Does...
Can anyone match this exact font?
I was going with "Advantage" and even "Helvetica Neue" but neither of those are as spaced as closely as this, nor are they as naturally bold.
Thanks
Hi guys - pretty much a complete novice with photography but would like to "start" learning it.
Would need to buy a SLR camera and have been recommended the budget Nikon L810.
Any one have experience with one of these? Pros/Cons?
Cheers.
Ignore what it actually says as it's no interest to me, but does anyone know what font this is?
I tried "WhatsTheFont" or whatever but it didn't match it.
I thought it was part of the Helvetica Neue family, but can't match it to any variable of that either.
