:eek: 90k! It's barely even run in man! My car's done 128k and I've just had it resprayed and I'm dropping a 2 litre turbo lump in it :rolleyes:
It's a modern diseasel, just keep it serviced & it'll run forever
If you intend to keep it a long while go for it, nothing wrong with making it a...
Had a pretty busy day yesterday. Got a reasonably early start which resulted in me & my housemates giving our cars a clean
Big german tank & my valver
V6 just before he started to put on his £80 a tub swissol wax
Then went to pick my mate Greg (creggers) up and got to the mini meet at...
I like to change the words from their advertising slogan/theme tune to...
..."You can't get shitter, than a kwik fit fitter, cos we'll fcuk it up" :rasp:
Sorry to hear about your crash mate :(
I'd recommend calling Helphire ;) They sorted me out really quickly after my valver got mullered in November.
Hire car, lawyers, engineers reports the works. They do all the chasing & harrassing the 3rd party insurers and the longer they take to sort your...
Up until now I thought I had no alarm at all :S just the standard immobiliser
It's never gone off before, even after "breaking" into the car on a couple of occasions :o
I wont know what alarm it is until I take the scuttle panel off & have a look tomorrow. Looks like I'll be waking the...
After 2 years of ownership and the removal of the standard alarm sounder, my car has mysteriously grown another one this evening :S
It sounds intermittantly when moving or while on the throttle, it's very annoying and embarrasing. I can't do much about it now I'm at work but I'll have to get...
Good read that mate :approve:
My mates solution to the parking problem is to take up 2 spaces diagonally ;) never had any complaints while I've been with him when he does it, everyone just gawps at the car in amazement, it also cancels out the piss poor steering lock as you just back straight...
Get it fixed man, will be better off in the long run.
How do you know you wont have to spend the same if not more on whatever you get next?
You'll have the peace of mind knowing that all the necessary work your car has needed has been done in your ownership.
If you give up on it now, you...
At least I think it was a cup :S white with the spoiler :cool:
I was underneath my mates volvo putting the exhaust on at the time so couldn't really wave or say hello :rolleyes:
Anyone here?? drove past my red (filthy:o) valver and a white volvo T5 on axle stands
FREE!?!? :eek:
Lucky git lol! Few quid to be made from that lot you stripped out ;) could help fund the project, are you on williamsclio or clio16valver? The bits would sell better on those ;)
Fair play to ya & good luck with it :cool:
UPDATE
Woke up not long ago to find a nice box on my doorstep, opened it up and look what was inside
Some lovely Forged H-Section con-rods with ARP bolts :cool:
The passenger side is de-locked, didn't want the drivers side de-locking, it's french & fails or sticks half way sometimes :dapprove:
Good old fashioned panel beating to fix it, had a new arch and sill welded in on the original respray back in august
I finally got her back on christmas eve, but since I was working all over christmas I didn't get chance to take any pics :cry:
But I've been busy all day and she's had a full on valet, wash, polish, wax inside & out so she's back to total mintness :D
Some before & after pics of the damage &...
