Nah, I'm going to bring my trolley jack in and have a go with it propped up on pallets. That has to work. If it didn't, no-one would pay £800 + VAT for a set of these - which is in effect what I'm replicating.

I can't say I ever 'feel' it pick up or drop back down again. I know it does it all the time though from Chris' pics.

Interesting thoughts. I'm going to give it a go. If all 4 corners add up to anything close to 980 kgs then it works. I'm hopeful for 950 though - might have to lose a door card next.

Exactly. This thing is calibrated to the nearest kilo, and weighs in 100g increments.

Eh? I'm letting each tyre back down onto the pump truck using my trolley jack and the usual jacking points each time...the tyre's the only bit in contact with the truck.

:cool: I tried the weighbridge thing, but it said it weighed 1,240 kgs.

How about if I jack up each corner and drop it onto a pallet. Then one by one, took a pallet out of each corner, before putting it back on the pump track up at the same height as the other 3 pallets before reading the weight? That would work wouldn't it?

I've got one at work with 1,000 kgs limit. If I jacked up my car then let it down with one wheel on the pallet truck, and did that for all four corners then added up the results...would I have an accurate total car weight? I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. But I still don't...

It still makes it go left and right Ralph, and I've been driving wearing gloves for about the last twelve months so it doesn't feel too bad at all.

:(

That makes me sick to the pit of my stomach.

You're very lucky. Yours must have been from the one single good batch they had.

Oops indeed.

They wear.

Used mine daily for about 2 years now, can't fault it and it still looks like new. Makes a useful difference on both road and track James.

Ouch, nasty. I've had an Irish Blackpool-'bus driving muppet scrape the back of my car before. C*** made it drag on 18 months in an attempt to keep his job, then caved in the day before it went to trial. B*****d. Hope yours gets sorted quickly.

Best going aftermarket. If you don't change it, it will end up looking like this... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=267524

How firmly mounted are the calipers? If as you say all fluids are fresh and fully bled, it might be that the pads are getting knocked away from the disc hence you needing to pump them back into contact. Normally only happens when taking kerb on track, but if your calipers are a new fit...

I use a Sony DCR-HC18E - nothing special but has good image stabilisation and will film anamorphic for true 16:9 widescreen - mounted on one of these headrest mounts... http://www.b-hague.co.uk/Mounting%20Brackets.htm The session in this clip was 'free' - it was part of an experience day...

"Is an instruction session worth it?" - is an often asked question. This guy was worth s***-loads. Click He responded to areas where I was weak, and communicated well :approve:

This looks great :approve: Gonna be a beast!

Shocking.

I used to do this, but stopped, when I exahust + decatted it.

I personally would recommend Rentech in Portsmouth. Run by Mike who used to work for a Renault franchise, he's the only one to have serviced my car in all of its 90k+ miles. If you page back through the dealership section, you'll come across plenty of threads praising him, and I've never...

Or...maybe I should have HPI checked it before parting with £10k+ of my own money. He could have told me, maybe he should have told me, but ultimately it's my responsibility to be happy that I'm paying a price relevant to what I'm getting. Countless people in this thread have said you'd need...

At what point is the line drawn? I mean, I bumped up a kerb the other day, which has probably knocked my tracking out, but my tyres have yet to show signs of uneven wear. If I sold my car without stating that in the advert or specifically drawing attention to it, I'm being out of order...

When I sell on my Focus, do I need to get approval on the wording of the advert and price from everyone on here beforehand? If I advertise it at an optomistic price in an effort to get maximum value, does that make me a c**t too? I really don't see what the problem is here. You research a...

Ours isn't too bad on the neck as we sit about 4 metres away. The leaflet that came with our mounting kit said the centre of the screen shouldn't be more than 15 degrees above your eye line.

For me, you have to be able to rag the hell out of a hot hatch, and throw it the f*** about. Nothing better. To do that in a 300bhp FWD barge on anything but a track is suicidal.
