Was that you making your way to work at 8:55am this morning Adam, leaving Adderbury? I was taking one of our pool cars to the garage as it's fecked.

Nigel noticed the area under the scuttle panel was full of water whilst it was in there Friday. So have taken the scuttle panel off and cleared the blockages on both drain tubes. it was flooded in there! thankfully nowhere near the electrics.

No problems dude. I changed mine for those ones I posted up, and they look good. Really good when it's darker out too. Lights up the inside of the car a treat. The Glovebox and Boot lights are the same ones too.

I wouldn't even bother if you're only keeping it a year. It'll be wasted money. Unless it's stuff you can swap over to the new motor, and you keep the original parts.

Howzit. Over here you'd get a tug from the police, but not sure in Gauteng. Interior lights are easy - they're 501 fitments like your sidelights. I got some LED ones off eBay. Like this...

Clean your room.

Ah, no worries then buddy. If you hear crying - either the DCI is broke or Tony has got hold of me.

When you say strip down and lube, was that copper-slip on the back of the pads, or a caliper strip down?

Not so bad today. First part of the journey was fine, but some squealing at the end. Bit wetter here today. Will see what they're like after Llandow next weekend!

Great news about Automax. I'm down there Friday afternoon. Come down for a day out dude. Watch my dci kicking out clouds of black smoke! Hehe

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeettt!!! Bring it to Llandow next week? :p There's supposed to be a BMW specialist in town. John Darby I think.

My brakes are squealing like a b**ch at present, and have done since about the beginning of June. Plenty of meat left on them. Brembo Discs up front with Feredo pads. It's been washed several times so I doubt it's brake dust. It's also a bit sporadic in when it does it. Stops fine, no...

Dude, I wanna see this in the flesh! Where did you call round here? After Tony's advice I got Nigel at Automax to do my Clio. I provided the bits too. Might be worth a shout.

A mate's Turbo 'Busa on the dyno with a stupidly cut down exhaust. With ear plugs in, it was still loud and the whole place shook. The place in question also now has to run their dyno runs with the shutter down due to noise complaints.

Hey Daniel. Won the auction, and the guy agreed he can drop them round! I assume you're open 9-5?

In fact, I've found it for you - it's 10mm ​

No, they're just a bush basically, and the rubber part is doing all the work. The sleeve just slips over the top of the rear shock as a guide. Have a search on here, but I think it's another 1 or 2mm as to what it is now.

These? http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8256/8665439934_f63b550a4a.jpg ​If so, you need to drill them out to the slightly bigger size.

Hands up anyone else who thought Rob was like, mid-30's.

According to Wikipedia, yes!

I'll drop him a message now. If he will, you are a legend!

Thanks guys. Cub: Won't know till I've won the auction - or IF, I win it. His eBay profile has an office address, which is here: BS15 4LS ​ Auction ends on Sunday afternoon so will shout then when I know his collection address

I have a massive favour to ask (eBay auction win permitting)! If I win an eBay auction, I have a pair of Motorcycle forks to pick up. Would anyone mind picking them up and bringing them to Llandow with them? Payment for the forks would be made by Paypal already, so you wouldn't need to pay...

Howzit Rubin. There's a few SA folks on the boards now.

I quite like them. Same Renault build quality (so cheap plastic, few rattles probably), but looks smart. If they get a good reputation, they're a nice option.

​Tony needs to lay off all those biscuits!

I'm not gonna say hell yeah I'm up for this, but it's a great idea. Toyed with the idea of selling the bike and taking up trackdays in a cheap car. There's a few 172's & 182's on eBay selling for less than a grand. Some with knackered engines, but stick a new motor in and job's a good'un!

Very clever. Bet the noise was immense.
