I'm not sure anyone has taken delivery yet have they? So tough to say really.

Nothing. Same as most days. It's a Volvo, and even though tuned - it just works!

Not long til that as gets removed I wouldn't imagine! Need to be a member to sell mate.

I had a C110 and it was fine, upgraded to a C130 and there's a massive improvement. Foam lance produces much better foam and it just generally cleans much better. This is the setup I have now...

Yep. i'm still going with it being the hose. I'm guessing some sort of internal damage making like a one way valve.

Sorry my mistake, I did read it as over engineered. Never heard the phrase over engined!

If anything, the 197 is FAR more over engineered than the 1*2. The swivel hubs for example, 4 pot brakes etc etc.

What sort of smell are we talking about?

2 'box rebuilds and 3 crank sensors in 10k?! Something not right there! Most of the other stuff is wear and tear you'd expect on those miles, clutch, TRE's etc. But........ i'd have given up at the point of it needing the second 'box rebuild - you must love it!

If it's just a toy then stick with the 172 in my opinion. The 197 is too grown up for weekend fun.

As above, they will have used it and not put it back.

How much is a 1.2 of this age worth? That's got to be a write off? Hope 1*2 replica mods are declared! My advice would be avoid insurance if possible.

Needs writing off purely based on those terrible headlights!

I'm asuming it's not a hot hatch, but I do think the car type is quite a vital bit of info! Out of the 2, i'd be picking PS3's.

What car? Tyre sizes lead me to think mx5 or similar?

Whack a flat bladed into it, impact driver and if all else fails angle grinder!

NA would be best for track work though, would it not? Charger would be an option asyou get to keep a similar power delivery.

Where abouts are you in Herts? I'll have a dig around see if I can find any providers

But it's the same as a tomato, yeah?

Top mount, CV joint, bottom ball joint? A few possibilites really mate.

Maybe damaged a hose?

Thanks for info, still not sold though. My boot time is already sub 15 seconds (SSD), this machine has been built and running for about 14 months and has no noticable slow down in use. It's VERY stable, current run time is about 3 weeks without shutdown or reboot. My PC is by no means a fast or...

I assume you bled the brakes? If so, how? One mad brake bleed kit, or two person pedal pump method? Strip it back down and check the following:- 1) is the caliper piston free moving. Can you push it back in easily - if not, then it could be a faulty/sticky caliper 2) do the pads move freely...

And still is in 2015.

I'm still on Windows 7 - Should I upgrade? I'm not a gamer, my PC is mainly used as a Plex server, the odd bit of browsing and printing and that's about it. Worth the hassle of upgrading or stick with Win7?

I've said it lot of times, but I run Pilot Sport 3's. They get hell on a daily basis with 350+lb-ft being forced through them and they cope fine. They have worn quickly but that is to be expected on a fairly heavy, fairly high powered FWD saloon. They are great in the dry, only coming unstuck...

On the last 2 houses i've bought - Internet speeds were high on the list of priorities! it went like this:- Detached Garage Driveway Virgin Media If it didn't have the above - I didn't view it!

Well yes, but if that's the case then they probably shouldn't be working on the car themselves in the first place!

Full as in full to the fill hole. You can't fill it higher than that as oil will run back out of the hole. Hence the fill until it's full comment.

Personally I have used Fuchs stuff from Opie Oils in the past @oilman
