@lemonnobby - I’m sure you mentioned something about blue coolant?? Or type D being NLa??

Yup. I emptied mine, flushed it, ran it with just water in it for about half an hour. Basically until the fan kicked in, then drained again and flushed what I could then put the right stuff in. Don’t know if that’s the correct method but it worked and it hasn’t blown up. 😂 (My car uses orange...

Never mix coolants. It can crystallise (sp??). Using a different one is fine, just make sure you flush out all of the old stuff first.

We make our own but if we need an odd size we always use Fancyplates. So much easier than driving to the local motor factors with paperwork and then trying to park… f**k all that.

I was going to suggest ‘Mind’ for the same reason.

Hey hey heeeeeyyyy….. 👋

Go very very careful on Bumpers. Can go pear shaped quite quickly. 😂

Got a pic? I’ve had great success with a heat gun. Lots of vids on YouTube.

I’m not exporting it mate. Far too many things can go wrong. And if he buys it and hates it when it arrives, then what?? 😂

Happy days. Should be ready in about 2 weeks. I’ll pm you my bank details.

We sold a VW sharan to a guy yesterday that had exactly this. Bin lorry went down the side of his 2018 Sharan and damaged 2 doors. No other damage. Our Bodyshop place would have charged £800/1000 to fix it no bother. But because it’s insurance and they need brand new parts the doors had to...

This. I always buy the cheapest nastiest shittest policy I can find, just to stay legal and nothing more. They are absolute bandits and will gladly take our money but when we need them they just bend us over and go in dry. f**k ‘em. My insurance is up for renewal end of next month. Broker...

I find unplugging and plugging in the uch numerous times (10+) usually gives a temporary fix - this will then confirm if it’s the UCH at fault. Only if it twice admittedly but both times that ‘fixed’ it so I knew it had to be sent off for repair.

I just disconnect the negative lead and leave the car as is. Then a few days before you want to fire it up again, stick a charger on it to make sure it’s topped up. A good battery shouldn’t go flat flat if it’s not connected to anything.

I think you’re underselling that tbh. I’d be asking for £5995 for that all day long. In fact I’d probably start it at £6495.

And a little pic of what the legend @lemonnobby is doing to it.

Something very satisfying about new premium rubber on freshly powder coated rims… And fitting them was a nause. I only fit big ballon tyres and they’re easy. These stupid little cotton reels were hard work. 😂

Which is why I just send them away to be done now. I don’t have the time or the patience for it. Unless someone is paying me. 😂

Mate I don’t think I’ll be doing any more sadly. I’ve got the RB to do next and I think I’m done with Renaults after that sadly. Just far too expensive now to get them anywhere near a decent standard. And that’s if you can even get the parts. (Apart from the Mk1, that’s going nowhere)

4 x wheel refurbs 4 x PS3’s 4 x genuine Cup shocks 4 x Eibach sport line springs 4 x discs and pads Holy s**t balls that was an expensive day. 🤮

They aren’t decreasing in value. Thats what I tell myself anyway, after the £3.5k bill I’ve just had for mine…

I am full of s**t.

Bare arse monthly is monthly?? Who’d have thunk it.

You had a stroke?

Oooosh! 4 x Michelin PS3’s delivered for £240. Will look banging on my newly powder coated wheels and new (copy) centre caps.

If you’ve got a few quid about you… get one of these. Absolutely amazing and you won’t need another one. Ever. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254748467289?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=XmWWPQEgQEG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=yuhFMh5BRYC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I’m glad it’s not just me that thought that. Smells lovely, goes on lovely, looks lovely… but didn’t really seem to do anything. 😂

Great tyres those.
