A garage lost my locking nut key but got the nuts off using a socket with reverse thread. Its slightly bigger than the nut. They gently hammer it on and turn the socket anti clockwise but as they do it tightens itself onto the nut and in turn loosens the nut. Didnt damage alloy either.

Cool matey. I remember when my car was getting repaired for 3 weeks and I drove a dog of a 1.2RL Clio (no offence but this was mega clapped out) and getting the VTS back was brilliant. Felt like a Rolls Royce.

Hope it goes well mate... 53mins...

Welcome mate. Im hoping to follow in your steps... Currently got a VTS.

For the sake of £20 or so do you really want to end up without a payout in the event you write the car off? Always inform insurance. Otherwise youve paid £800 (or whatever) for a piece of useless paper.

Its discretionary. You may not get a ban depending on circumstances.

I cant believe theres people who hadnt seen this before.

Dont worry pet. Its ok. Post them pics when ye have them and well give ye an honest opinion.

She drives a v6 4motion? She has no excuse then! To drive a car like that she is an enthusiast. I thought shed be a G reg Fiesta Popular driver.

Awful that but to be fair I have to agree with GR to be honest. If that had happened to me Id be right pi***d off but I always make sure when I have a female passenger in the car that I park up giving her enough room. If its windy, Ill jump out on my side and walk around and hold the door...

Has anyone EVER had to replace a front or side indicator bulb? Why is it that just the back ones seem to go?

It was on my old RT. I had it a further year without any suggestion of reoccurence of rust. £160 was for cash in hand jobby (ie no vat). Theyre a very busy spray shop. Top quality work too.

It had a dent along the suage (*sp) line on both rear quarters and arch rust too. They pulled out the dents, removed rust, primed and sprayed. No welding involved as far as I know.

Sounds pretty decent especially for a J. I got arch rust and dents on both sides done and sprayed for £160 at my local back street spray shop.

I lowered mine quite a lot (about 60mm) and had 195/45/15 rubber on and it rubbed a bit. So get this you crazy cats - I just carefully pulled the arch out by hand! Couldnt tell I had done so, it was just enough to allow another couple of mm to stop rubbing.

If you try my method, bear in mind you have to lower the car slowly on the jacks, but lower it so that the gap between say the edge of the rim and bottom of the arch is about 12cm, then slide the bars back in. This might sound daft, but by the time you take the car off the jacks altogether...

If you just do the back without changing the front springs, itll actually heighten the front like a see-saw effect.

Put simply: Jack up the car on both sides, pull out the torsion bars on both sides with a slide hammer, lower the car slowly on each side with the jacks, slide the bars back in. Jobs a good un. Never mind this spline business, I just (well a mate) did mine by a bit of trial and error.

If youre garaging it, dont forget you need extra room all the way round and especially to open the doors!

Not sure mate. Have you jacked it up and checked the wheels rotate freely (and by freely they should just about complete one revolution when span by hand)? It could be the brakes, but youre saying its just on the bumps? Get a garage to look at the mounts. That reminds me, when I first got...

Welcome good sir. Nice cars RTs. Pics? Problems could be the back brakes. How long has it been since they were replaced/serviced? I had many problems with the rear drums on my old RT sticking and grinding.

I got flashed similarly and got away with it. Happened last December, not heard anything since.

Done.
