    Ohhhh noooo

    a local trusted mechanic is worth his weight in gold.... I know of two and they're both heavy blokes plus they know their stuff which makes them worth more.

    Little bit of mayo on oil cap?

    I must admit you do poo your pants the first time you see any signs of mayo under the oil cap. Take it for a good run and it'll go......hopefully ;)

    Little tingle from my 3GS while plugged into power?

    my dell laptop does this from one corner if I lay my arm over it whilst using the keyboard......I ignore it.

    Little bit of mayo on oil cap?

    I'd say condensation if you do short runs and taking into account the time of year. I bet if you take it for a good run 1 hour + most of the mayo will go.. I used to have a 205 Gti which has a oil filler pipe that was separate to the engine (not the usual cap on the rocker cover) and over...

    Stupid, stupid (Female) drivers!

    I was coming up the M1 yesterday and in the slow lane there was a megane driving about a couple of car lengths off of the back of a lorry gritting the motorway. The grit was flying all over it must have been making some right noise inside the megane, and guess what it was a woman driving. Why...

    sending photo's via MMS from I Phone 4

    Thanks Tom, and there was me thinking it was some kind of secret iphone handshake way of doing things. anyway back to the original post do you need to (or can you) reduce the size of the photo before MMS'ing it to another phone that isn't an iphone.

    sending photo's via MMS from I Phone 4

    recently got an Iphone 4 and all is good, but I sent a photo via MMS to two people the other day. One received the photo after a few hours and the other had to clear out his in box to receive it. Is there anyway of reducing the size of the file before sending it? I've googled this...

    Strange question but are the wings on all sports a different colour?

    noticed this when looking for my 172. On all the silver one's I looked at the front wings looked a slightly different colour......... ended up buying a black one, can't see any difference on that colour.

    Number Plate Values

    I had an odd plate on my first car (an old Y reg - 1982) I rang and got some valuations and eventually one of the companies advertised it for sale. It didn't cost me anything (they would have just taken a cut for selling it). The plate stayed on my car while it was advertised. In the end it...

    New Car (200 deals)

    looking at getting a 200 for the wife on this deal (she's bored of her fiat 500), just a quick question do any of the RS 200's have 5 seat belts?

    New tyres fitted, Handling gone to pot

    I paid them to do a job, is it too much to ask for them to do it right without me telling him how to do it.

    New tyres fitted, Handling gone to pot

    Had two new toyo T1R's fitted to the back of my 172 at the weekend. Felt fine around town but went on the motorway today and it felt like something was loose at the rear. When changing lanes or cornering at speed the front end would turn in then a split second later you could feel the rear...

    MINI's WRC effort breaks cover...

    there was an article in EVO a couple of months back (think it was an interview with David Richards) where they stated that the countryman (5 door mini) had perfect dimensions for a WRC car... Looks s**te from the side if you ask me, looks similar to when some one get's a 5 door clio and make's...

    Windscreen Corner Trim

    mine do this too.... I was going to try silicone but looks like it doesn't work. I think I'll try maybe some two part glue or take it down to a windscreen repair place and see if I can blag them to bond it down.

    recommend a detailer in South Yorkshire

    Just had it cleaned at CLEAN DETAIL in Doncaster....and all I can say is superb. When I got the car it was a fairly low mileage 172 which had been well serviced, but didn't look like it had had much in the way of polish/wax in it's life (lot's of car washes me thinks). There were large amounts...

    Funniest Thing You Have Been Told By A Dealer...

    a few years ago I was looking at a car at a local second hand car dealership. I noticed that some of the paint lacquer had peeled off, the salesman saw that I had noticed this and promptly stated that "they all do that my car hasn't got any on at all"...this was made worse as he kept talking...

    About to buy a 200 - advise please

    you need to get gap insurance to cover the difference, if you crash it under normal conditions. This will pay the difference between what your insurance pays out and how much it is for a new car. Resulting in you getting a new car again. If you shop around you shouldn't be talking much more...
