Boys, can someone help me please??
I won’t be arriving until about 7pm tomorrow. I want to dump my trailer, give Dave and Kyle a cuddle then head to the hotel for a shower/shave/food.
Can someone please volunteer to let me park the trailer somewhere near to them so they can keep an eye on it...
My Mrs says similar every year.
“You don’t bother with anything for 2 weeks in Portugal with your family, I even have to tell you to shave. But when you go with your clio lot you become a normal organised adult”
😂😂
Yeah from Autosmart. It’s an iron remover but it’s super thick and gloopy and foams up amazing, it’s a really good lube for clay.
Also, I was given a bottle of Evo (heavy cut compound) from my rep to try it out. The last lot of Autosmart compounds I used were garbage. But this new one (black...
Bucket of hot water (to keep it soft) and plenty of soap/lube and you’ll be grand.
Use as little pressure as possible. Literally just rest your hand on it and move it around until the paint feels smooth. Wallop.
Every car I do for work I use a clay towel. I do it on my own car probably every 3 months or so?
Rinse, snow foam, rinse, wash, snow foam (with a dollop of Red 7 for extra lube) and clay mitt, rinse, BOSH! 👌🏽💪🏽
Plenty of wd40 (or something better like Injector-ex) on the underneath of the bolt.
Don’t use an impact!
If you can’t do it with a normal sized ratchet, get some heat on it. Again, from the underneath.
They’re a complete prick to remove.
I wish I was. But when I get back off holiday I’ve got 2 weeks of missed income to catch up on, as well as the £5K+ I’ve just spent on holiday. It isn’t going to leave me much time at all.
I have just had a message off my mate I sold the Kangoo too, he’s said I can bring that if I want. Plus...
The 172 clutch cable is too long. The 16v cable is too short.
So I’ve used a 172 cable but packed the end of it out with a spacer. That spacer has caused the pivot point to move meaning it’s putting stress where it shouldn’t.
Basically, fitting a gripper diff to my car was the worst thing I ever...
No, the gearbox casing is flexing. And I’m pretty sure you’ll all punch me repeatedly if it explodes and dumps oil all over the place.
Not a great scenario for a moderator of the worlds finest automotive gathering.
Hydraulic clutch conversion. I have all the parts but it’s never been done on a Mk1 with a 172 box as far as I can see. I’m also on holiday for the next 10 days.
