From what i've heard its a bit of a b*stard to get out , dash off job i think . Thats why you see the changers for sale and not the leads ! MrBillyUK !

Thats probably the correct way in a bodyshop , cleaner environment , proper equipment etc .... He's working from home and spraying from a can .As i'm sure your aware of , cans don't give the smooth , even finish of a pro bodyshop , they tend to spit paint out in big globules as your spraying ...

Has the noise gone now ?? MrBillyUK !

Overburn will only give you a couple of extra minutes . Typically an 80 min cd will actually be 83 - 85 mins capacity . MrBillyUK !

Sorry mate can't be done if you want it in standard audio format . Only way is mp3 . You'll have to split the file into two if you want it in audio format . MrBillyUK !

No probs :) Just alot of myths about swappin tyres , people havin their own theories . When i know " i'm right " lol ;) MrBillyUK !

Its not the take off speed mate , its when you need to slam on you should be more bothered about . Lets just say i know from experience , an ass twitchin moment ;) Don't forget , about 75% of braking is done by the front brakes / tyres . If you have bald or low thread tyres on the back...

Just do it when you get new tyres mate . New on the back , old on the front , you'll get more life out of your tyres . MrBillyUK !

^^^^^^^^ Never heard of that one before , the tyre walls get stiffer ?? Did somebody tell you this ? Or is it something that you made up ,lol ;) MrBillyUK !

When you get new tyres always put em on the back , for 2 reasons . 1st it prolongs the life of your tyres . 2nd if you have less thread on your back tyres and you have to break hard , emergency stop etc .... the fronts will grip and stop and the back of the car won't stop and will want to...

I totally agree with the above . I had a bang in my old 172 , all cosmetic , new bumper , wing , respray , labour costs etc .... Cost to the insurance company was £2500 . Parts are very expensive even for a small accident .Thats why the cost soon mounts up and they say that it is not...

According to the program on sky last night " wrecks to rides " a Cat D repair has to meet tests more rigorous than an MOT . I'm sure they wouldn't condone the repair of such vehicles and actually make a program about it if it was not safe to do so . I'm guessin that your experience of a...

Looks a good un . You could always contact HPI and find out more about it . MrBillyUK !

E mail on its way mate :) MrBillyUK !

Sorry Rich , she didn't give me any info about 5 and 10 litres . I asked if i could buy from them directly , she said you can but it can be a bit of hassle . You have to be at home when they deliver or the courier will take it away again . MrBillyUK !

Just has a phone call from the girl at Sonax . She says that the prices she has given me in the e mail are the prices that " every " Vauxhall dealership should be charging as these are set by Vauxhalls head office and not set locally . When she phoned Lookers Vauxhall in Blackburn , she...

All the brake assembly moves with the steering as you say . Are you actually using the brakes when your reversing , or is it making the noise wether you use the brake or not ?? Is there any wear on the tyre like it could be rubbing ? Rear springs have been known to snap , maybe if one...

I'll keep ya posted if i get anymore info . I've just e mailed them the name of the dealership that she requested . MrBillyUK !

Alright Rich Just been in touch with Sonax enquiring about prices , places to buy . Quite an interesting reply : Hi Andy Thank you for your e-mail regarding Sonax Shampoo. You can purchase Sonax shampoo from most Vauxhall dealerships and the prices are as follows: 314 200...

Had pirelli p6000's on my old 306 and found the grip pretty good . Then on my old 172 mk2 the contis wore out on the front in 7.5k miles . Then moved on to toyo proxes t1 -s's , grip in the dry was good , in the wet not as good as i hoped , crashed the car on a left hander ,lol Then tried...

^^^^^^^^^^ His mates lost his book tho' :( MrBillyUK !

Hope you get it sorted mate :) MrBillyUK !

How do you know its " both " front brakes that are squealing ?? Could be a snapped rear suspension spring ?? Not uncommon on this model so i hear . MrBillyUK !

I'd do em myself mate now you have the paint . If they do look crap then take em to a body shop . Follow the steps wiggz says , you might want to give a rub down after 1st coat of lacquer as well for a smoother finish ,especially if you've got the orange peel effect . MrBillyUK !

Ever considered changing your phone to sky talk , my bills dropped slightly when i changed over from BT . Never had a problem with NTL ( touch wood ) . Been with em over 4 years now , not the cheapest but in all that time i've only lost connection twice . Bulldog are crap from what a mate...
