    Swapping wheels around

    Always have the best tread on the back , if you have to slam on ( especially in the wet , or on a bend ) , the front will stop the back won't , it will want to overtake the front end . Tyres play a major part in the braking of a car and the fronts do most of the braking . MrBillyUK !

    Swapping wheels around

    Expensive way of doin' it replacing em all at the same time . New on back , back ones to the front and you should get at least another 6 months out of the front ones . You know it makes sense :) MrBillyUK !

    Color coding door strips

    Thats probably the correct way in a bodyshop , cleaner environment , proper equipment etc .... He's working from home and spraying from a can .As i'm sure your aware of , cans don't give the smooth , even finish of a pro bodyshop , they tend to spit paint out in big globules as your spraying ...

    How can I resize a 1gb track to fit onto a CD?

    Overburn will only give you a couple of extra minutes . Typically an 80 min cd will actually be 83 - 85 mins capacity . MrBillyUK !

    Swapping wheels around

    Its not the take off speed mate , its when you need to slam on you should be more bothered about . Lets just say i know from experience , an ass twitchin moment ;) Don't forget , about 75% of braking is done by the front brakes / tyres . If you have bald or low thread tyres on the back...

    Swapping wheels around

    When you get new tyres always put em on the back , for 2 reasons . 1st it prolongs the life of your tyres . 2nd if you have less thread on your back tyres and you have to break hard , emergency stop etc .... the fronts will grip and stop and the back of the car won't stop and will want to...

    I totally agree with the above . I had a bang in my old 172 , all cosmetic , new bumper , wing , respray , labour costs etc .... Cost to the insurance company was £2500 . Parts are very expensive even for a small accident .Thats why the cost soon mounts up and they say that it is not...

    Ok so what if its CAT D

    According to the program on sky last night " wrecks to rides " a Cat D repair has to meet tests more rigorous than an MOT . I'm sure they wouldn't condone the repair of such vehicles and actually make a program about it if it was not safe to do so . I'm guessin that your experience of a...

    Squeel from Brakes when in reverse

    All the brake assembly moves with the steering as you say . Are you actually using the brakes when your reversing , or is it making the noise wether you use the brake or not ?? Is there any wear on the tyre like it could be rubbing ? Rear springs have been known to snap , maybe if one...
