i had firestone firehawks on fiesta (with xr2i alloys) before i got my clio,
and it handled brilliantly the grip was excellent , my mum has them on her focus any they are very good on that aswell.
yes it is mate,
but it leaks out the hole in top of the cap,i reckon its got air in it .
im still looking for someone decent to give it the once over !!!
thanks for that,
i aint goin anywhere near it, im going to give them the oil and tell them to use it for the service,
just need to find the right place to get to work on it !!
where do i get elf and silkolene olils from ???
ive never seen them anywhere !
also from what i remember my 16v never used to sound like a diesel when cold ???
as i put in my other post about the oil grade to use,
where is there in essex who can service my valver is due its 90k service soon, i know there is bb pt but they are well over an hour away from me in colchester, where as im in romford,
i rang southhill garage (i been recomended them) in...
my valver is due its 90.000 mile service soon,
i had magnatec put in it on its last service at 84k, however i am not happy with the oil, the grade in it is 10w 40.
is it still ok to use this grade oil (another make obviously) as the engine has done a fair few miles now,
i spoke to a...
i saw this on one of them watch dog type programmes, where they drove to france in their reno and got it serviced there, and they even saved money including the petrol!!
however i reckon they must have had too much time on their hands, as its alond way to go for a service !!
172gal,
elephant, i thought it was a good quote !!
i pay 935 fc with elephant at the min, with 1 yr ncd
im male btw, as cat is my initials its not short for catherine or any thing !!!
thats b*llocks mate !!!
i knowe how u feel some cnut did my passenger door a while ago, and only last week some c*ck stole 2 of my centre caps,
i found the colour polish with the crayon you get in halfords to be ok at filling in the scratch until you can get it painted properly
when i got quoted a cup always came out cheaper to insure then the 172,
23 with 2yrs ncd (in june) £1200 f/c for a cup and £1300 for a 172
cant wait till june when ive got 2 yrs, and then i ll hopefully be after a cup !!!
i found giving my rad a bloody good flush out worked a treat,
before it was 23degrees coming out of the vent on 1 now after a flush it is 43 so it suits me, but yes it is colder the faster the the speed.
i dont like phase 1 wheels sorry,
i want to keep it standard and i like phase 2 wheels so i want to leave them on it, ill just have to drive it around cap less,
until i work out of way of securing them.
I hate theiving scum, they deserve a slap (and will get one if i ever catch one)
rant here,
Q, how easy is it for some f*cking a$$hole to steal your centre caps of your valver ,
A, too bloomin easy !!
go to southend for a few games of bowling with your mates,
return to your valver a few hours later and hey presto, some theiving cnut has stolen the passenger side...
