Ok, I am going to go and have a look in the morning with my Dad and a mate (can never be too careful) and have a look at it. If it looks good then I will take it, if not I will leave it. With regards to the plate he is saying it is because the garage did it like that as they took the photos. I...
What is the difference between Cat C and Cat D?
I know Cat C needs a VIC check and it is perceived to mean it had a bigger bump but how do the insurance companies decide?
Thanks

Hello mates,
Sold my car yesterday and I am now after a new one.
Saw this on the Bay...

What do we reckon?
It is Cat C (had a bump to rear arch I am told) and it...
Replacing my lights bulbs with the originals now, however when i took them off I touched them with my hands.
How do you clean them as I understand the oil from your hands causes them to blow out when they get hot.
Thanks

I have just installed windows XP onto a new harddisc and the certain keyboard strokes mean different things than they say they should.
E.g. to get an @ sign I must press the " button.
I cannot even get a pound sign.
Anyone any ideas how to rectify the situation?
Cheers in advance
Sam
Yeah you could do as above.
But as you said it may blow up.
I recommend changing at 5750rpm.
If you want your engine to blow up though, douse it in petrol yourself then light it...gives a bigger bang that way.
Yes auto wipers.
I bought some new wipers that don't smear (flat blade jobbys)
The size ascending lines are to vary the intermittency (i.e. big line regularly small line less regular wipes)

As to terrible clios post, the government would argue motoring has massive negative externalities attached.
E.g. pollution, congestion etc... caused not to the individual but to society. Therefore the government taxes to reduce consumption and they would argue the tax goes into combatting the...
I think for the 16v (which I have is about 6k). After 5.5k the power curve falls with an ever increasing gradient, yet a change at 5.5 will mean the next gear is going to come in at about 4 which will be too low for optimum.
I would say 6k but not sure exactly for the 8v

The paint condition is bad to awful.
Despite a wash and SRP 10 days ago (didn't have any protection) there are still many swirls. It seems as if a far few panels have been resprayed as well and filler has been used. Should I be careful with the use of paint restorer as it may damage it...
Right ok so you reckon I would perhaps be best to go for:
quick wash down with hose pipe (Very dirty indeed)
Wash with Megs gold class or AG Bodywash and conditioner (which one?)
Dry down
SRP
ERP x 2Is that it? Have I missed any steps?
Thanks

If you were me would you swap UDS for some wax?
I don't have any at the moment but I am thinking I should invest... If so what sort? It would need to be from Halfords though as that's where I bought the above from.
This is only a one off detail as I am selling the car this week and just...
Just bought some AG:
ERG
SRP
Paint Restorer
Gloss shine (for deeper colours)
AG body wash and conditionor
How do I use this best?
Is there anything else I really need to be buy?
Thanks
Sam
