I need a better car & job then. :dapprove:
Ironically if I earned more money to by a newer car I wouldn't need to,
as the road tax wouldn't sting me as much.
The thing that pisses me off about road tax is that if I buy a car that produces less than 100g of Co2 per km it's tax exempt,
but my car that produces 199g of Co2 per km gets charged £245.
The thing is the carbon footprint of producing a new car is far higher than my cars Co2 production over a...
Porbably the shocks then, mine was doing it when I bought it and the back end was all over the shop on corners,
the seller threw in a new set with the sale, changing them sorts it right out.
It was driving me mad so I tidied it up for you a little,
next time f22 and a tripod would give you pin sharp focus, I noticed the back of the car is a little soft.
The usb connector from my Kenwood HU goes straight into the glovebox,
no cutting or drilling needed as the front of the glovebox isn't the tightest fit,
so the wire just feeds through the gap between the lid/door and the box itself.
I bought a second hand JC5 from a breakers for £275 and it's spot on, you can get them on here for around £250 sometimes cheaper,
if you can fit it yourself then you're quids in.
I'd imagine you'd lose more than £250 selling it with a crunching 2nd.
Well it sounds like you have two options then,
refurb/replace the gearbox before selling, or tell any prospective buyer about the problem and take a bit of a hit on any sale.
I don't know what condition your car's in or how much it's worth, so you'll have to decide if a refurb would be worth...
When the exact same thing started happening in mine last year, every mechanic I spoke too said it sounds like it's the sellector,
I don't wont to worry you but a week after it started my gearbox went bang at 70mph, I had to replace it. :dapprove:
I'm not sure if one led to the other, or it had...
Those exhaust tips look like two giant napkin rings, and it needs some kind of spoiler, rest of the car's spot on though.
Interior bits look good in gloss black, get some pics up once they're fitted.
Hero, that's the way to do it!
That's the first car i'd buy after I won the Euromillions, V10 rocket estate car that'll fit everything you need including the dog,
what else do you need?
I recommend the Skoda one, i've parked too close to curbs & folded mine under so many times i've lost count,
it still looks the same as the day I fitted it, can't go wrong for £12quid.
Around £300 quid is roughly the right price for an exhaust,
can't say i've heard of MIJ exhausts before though.
Just read this on their site,

Personally i'd be going for a recognised make instead of a pattern part with...
