sound will do! cheers for your help :)

true, i've got a socket set from halfords seems pretty decent.

yup any alpine one, can't go wrong with there hu's.

and wont be damaged due to the smack onto the bolt, so will be ok for future use?

so once it's cooled down and lost the heat, the socket will come off?

so heat up first, then smack a socket onto there, and try and pull it off then? how long you reckon to heat it up for first, 5 mins? will the socket be ok to use afterwards?

really nice, might try and find myself one of these.

hoping it won't come to that tbh! i forgot to get a pic on sunday, will do next time im round there. think we'll try the heat up/stilson method first!

will the rounded off bolt take to the shape of the next socket size down easier because it will be hot?

yeah plenty of wd40 was used. we've hit it with a hammer but now the bolt isn't really good enough to get a socket over tight enough to give enough leverage to smack it with. was told a good idea was file two flat edges on the bolt, then to heat it up, then with some stilson's give attach them...

im struggling with a caliper housing bolt, not on the clio - but a 72 beetle. we've got the lower one out not too much bother but struggling with the upper one. now we've rounded it off good and proper!

will this tool be any good for heating up a caliper bolt to make it easier to remove? we've rounded it off you see and need to heat it up before using some stilson's on it. if not can anyone recommend something else...

very nice, great height!

i know ;) ill be in contact shortly....

Re: 551 bhp renault 5 that's flippin fast. fair play to the bloke.

great deal tbh, mine cost me £384 a couple months back and that was even with the best trade discount the tyre place offer our company!

yeah maybe you can pm me a price if you want on all four in the orange. laptab have said yhey can do the lambo orange for me, just something nice and lairy. let me know :)

just got back from MOT station..... ...... Passed fine not a problem with no advisories too. That was with my SERV and airbag lights on due to fitting bucket seats. Well happy now, can spend some more money on new bits rather then repairing it!

ooh looks good!

majority of the vag tdi engines. the one in the fabia vrs is an ASZ (130bhp), and the one in the mk4 golf which is an ARL (150bhp) are both very tuneable and make good power.

better with the yellow for me

nope.. Its all good fun though!

that maybe worth a shot i guess! Have been to the tyre place this morning, the screw is too close to the sidewall to be repaired. Ordered a new one - seems like a real shortage on the pe2's at the moment btw - 99 fitted on the 205's ouch!

hmm possibly, but there's one straight route/road between my house and work - it's like 5 miles there! would be a bit of pain to change the route and not get caught by any speedbumps. it's not even like im not being watchful on the road ahead, i avoid every bump and pothole going! some people...

it's proper annoying! just when you try and be prepared something like this gives you a set back. it's the third puncture i've had in 3 years, and all have been on new tyres. just seems like the nails and screws get attracted to them :(

little annoyed update..... got a puncture at some point today. nice screw right into the main tread of the tyre. i wouldn't normally mind but i went and got 4 new pe2's only a month ago in ready for my MOT this saturday morning! Will go back to the tyre place before work in the morning and...

im pretty sure 7 clicks is a bit too many! should be like 2-3 i think.

really clean! love the height of the iceburg!

great update mate! looks excellent on track.
