thanks guys, never heard of PJ ones before?, isnt 21" a bit long? I thought the ones I had were 18" and they are too long, might be wrong tho.
Ill have a look on Autoexpress cheers Clare
£30!! your having a giraffe my friend..I am back in the lowely devisions of tax evasion, ie a student (again) and cant be paying that!! Just spent £80 last week on front pads and oil and filter change.
(BUT I did have a wicked time at Alton Towers on Wednesday, so it was worth it!!!)
well, i might try them again, just the one at the mo, on passenger side doesnt hold to the glass, same as the rear one, when i use it it misses the top 3 inches of the glass....
Dont know bout cutting it tho, its on the metal frame so might look cack.
OK, I know its my fault for going to ahem..Halfords for em last year, but I got the "recommended" size blades (front and rear) and they were longer than the ones allready on there.
Now, my idea of recommended doesnt involve 1/4 of each blade missing the glass cos its too long and therefore...
haha, its ok mate, Ive wanted one for years, originally was after a 19 16v chamade, but didnt go thru. 3 lovely years with a Pug 1.3 309(GLX ill have you all know!) until i got this one 2 years ago, worth the wait.
make sure all the stuff you get from a write off aint, well, written off...other than that i guess you would.
I think i read a post on engine swaps recently, do a search for it, I think there was prices on the posts. :-P
damn it, I was gonna change mine, good job you said, woulda cost loads for a new 1.4 to be put in, think of all the things i would have to replace...
new mounts, engine, loom, ECU, gearbox, downpipe, drive shafts, brakes, possibly hubs if they have diff splines, ancliliaries like...
my passenger side one is like that, some fecker has threaded the screws...looks well cack. how do you get to the back of the bumper to get it off? (easy method please lol)
Umm, with 16v you should get BETTER power at higher revs (yes we all know that) so I think you got a bit of a prob mate....does it stop at 5.5k in each gear or just 5th??
done 125 in mine to waste an toss pot in an escort on the A46, and that was with 4 people in. (It was a VERY qiuet stretch of road and I know it well so no tut tuts :-P)
markets down at the mo, was trying to sell mine, as standard they are worth around 2.5-3k(glass guide) but I guess with all the stuff on yours pluss low mileage you could easily get 4+ I would bet. But might also put people off being non-standrad so you might have a harder time selling it mate.
Hmm, I pulled up next to 2 girls in a Tigra the other week, and they assumed that I wanted to race em, as they were edging towards the line, they were fit so I was sorry to embaress em but Tigra owners need reminding they own a Vauxhall......
