Cheers for that, i'll have a look when i'm in a better mood and it's not pissing it down, i'll probably find out it's a lose connection or dirty spade connector. This car's getting retired as soon as I can afford a new dog carrier, it can live out it's days on track, as it's a pain in the arse...

That would be cool mate, i'll pay for postage and all that, I just have to figure out how to replace it myself, as i've no money until I get back behind the camera. Bloody cars!

Haven't tried bump starting it, once the car's warmed up it'll start every time. The battery's only a year and a bit old, plus all the electrics work fine, i'm almost convinced it's the starter, I just thought i'd post a vid for confirmation.

For quite a few months it's had starting issues, it normally starts after a few go's, but over the past few days it's just not having it, I think the starter motors knackered and has finally given up...

A boiled sweet under the rear seats and a massive long screwdriver in the engine bay, it was jammed up next to the battery, looked like part of the car until jiggled it and it came out.

The links are showing as private, what are the vids called? If I can find them i'll embed them for you.

Nope they don't work.

Ahh right'o. :D

Where are the videos then?

Have a chat with G172 in the traders section, he sells Brembo's at a decent price and once ordered they show up almost instantly.

No chance of me getting my hands on a spare grand or two in the next 3 days. :dapprove: I think it looks f*cking amazing, proper rat look.

I'd drive it as it is, still looks cool. I know sod all about welding or chassis repairs though, is this a good buy or not...

Although it can happen, steering racks don't really go wrong on these, i'd put money on it being either track rod ends, tie rods, ball joints, wishbone bushes......or a combination of all of them. Could be a bent subframe, but that would be unlucky. Without getting it on a ramp and having a...

I didn't take the dog out today, so it's been left alone, no cold start, no rain or puddles, no wet dog and mud carnage on the interior either. Happy xmas dog kennel, you can have the day off. :approve:

I've got one of the original boxes and i've had my map on there for years. So are the new maps that much better than the old ones, or was your mates car standard before?

Yours is certainly quicker from one breakdown to another than mine.

I'm like God, i'm everywhere. Oh and Fast & Dirty>Shiney and slow. ;)

What an absolute sh*t heap, it's no dog kennel is it?

Forgot about the unlock codes, I got mine new years ago. If you've bought it from Henk then it shouldn't be a problem to get the files you need, including the firmware.

They'll be a black market in shared RST & Cal files on here in no time if he's jacked it in. Probably just getting maintenance or repairs over xmas.

Not that I know of mate.

Yeah that's weird, it's as if the site doesn't exist any more. Error 403

It's not an old Ford but it would make a good dog carrier, I quite like it. http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/volkswagen/caddy/volkswagen-caddy-1-9sd-van-1997/867127 Sticker bombed dash is sh*t, but that's an easy fix.

Audi RS6 Avant is the ultimate sleeper wagon for me, Lambo V10 with 570bhp that'll fit an Alsation, loads of luggage and a few mates, doesn't get better than that. I'd also like a Mk1 or 2 Cortina with a big V8 in it, or some kind of boosted ricer engine, and a Mini Clubman with as big an...

I lost the will to live after the first few lines. Quality username btw. :cool:

Anything over an indicated 120mph scares the sh*t out of me in the dog kennel, with all the rattles, noises and skittish handling at high speeds, it's like driving your Grandads shed.

Oil or Diesel on the road will make it step out like that.

Toms Supercharged cup is the fastest Clio i've ever seen, it was destroying a lot of people at the drag day the other month. Although it never faced the dog kennel so who knows, I may very well be quicker over a 1/4 mile, but on by stuffing dog hair in his engine so he never gets of the line.

They make it up as they go along I reckon.

I got back from France once, stopped at a mates house and drove down the wrong side of the road when I got back in the car, a car came round the corner and whollop!!!! Obviously my fault, a copper showed up and I took full responsibility, paid for his repairs and courtesy car out of my own...
