came back from london last night, set off from acton at 8pm, headed for the m1,
i stopped at leicester services, and then went through loughborough to get my mates car,
then headed back to the m1 where i travelled up to j30, i live about 40 miles from here.
i got home at 22:56.

A46 is quality, it worries me that people stick to the limits down there,
i go all the way to loughborough on that road, after nottingham it turns into a rollercoaster of a dual carrigeway. worth a thrash if your near
just been to motor world to get some springs, the guy says not to get 60 mm with standard shocks, even though the DIY guide on here did it,

My family have been using the guy for years, i guess he did make a mistake its just pissed me off being stranded as i live in the sticks, also the engine management light is on and he claims it wasnt him, i noticed some scratches to around the top of the wings.

..............Update................
i went round to pick up the car on wednesday night, it was in one piece.
i took it for a drive, its smooth up to about 4,500 rpm then it turns into a K reg ford Fiesta, sounds like its been really hammered.
im wondering if the timings still not right...

B) who invented that championship, bmws, porsche 911s, marcoss and .........renault clio 172s??? and did i see a mark 1 in there to??? madness!
the 172 doesnt have a trip computer, but my 1.4 does! so lets just do a straight swap, mines got interia mirrors and all sorts of wonderful things.

:D
1.4 Dynamique + (nov 2001)

After an ignition failure last week i was advised to get my cam belt changed, as i had a service the following week i decided to get it done during the service.
So i went to pick it up last night after service to find my car in bits still, the machanic told me he had lost the timing of...

I think your car was stolen to order, its propably in a cargo container in a local port on its way to africa, just like our shogun. broke into the house, took all our keys, we were trapped in they just took the car without breaking in.
i also herd the same story about a guy whos keys were...
This evening i tried to start my car, it started chugging at 2000prm and the throttle seemed to have no effect. there were 2 lights on my dash, the ignition fault light, and what looks like engine management.
so i got out my WD and gave the coils a squirt, the ignition fault cleared and the...
