    £30k to spend, what performance car?

    C63 like I've just done! Quick edit by Chris Maskrey, on Flickr You'll get a decent facelift for that money though.

    Sky multiscreen alternatives?

    Just looked, and yes the robbing b******s charge now! They didn't 6 months ago when I took mine out!

    Sky multiscreen alternatives?

    Not for the first box it's not. At least I'm not paying it. £35 a month for q silver (the 2tb box) a mini box and all channels inc sports and movies (With HD)

    Tools & Garage Equipment sub forum?

    Why would you not be able to undo them at the side of the road? I'm fairly sure you'll be over tightening them if you are just using a wheel wrench, hence making it harder to undo next time. Torque them up to the proper amount (about 120nm?) and they will a) be safe and 2) come undone fairly...

    Sky multiscreen alternatives?

    Just upgrade to Sky Q, that's wireless and you don't pay for the use of the second box.

    Another AMG

    Only on the performance pack cars though isn't it? Well on the C63's it is anyway. Unless all the E63's got them?

    197 braking issue. (MOT Failure)

    It'll be the caliper, both of mine did it. Easy to check the cable, just unhook the end of it from the caliper and see if it moves.

    Timing locking tool

    Fair enough, I always had to be the same with my ex! Like I say, with the engine out and on a stand it should be simple enough. There is a guide on here somewhere that gives the procedure and torque settings. I'm sure someone will come along and link it.

    Alloy wheel "painting" in Midlands

    Powder coat is only baked at about 200 degrees isn't it? Hardly going to do any damage to the wheels at that temperature. Imagine how hot they must get if you're on track etc? They're bolted straight to the discs that get to the point of glowing red hot - some of that heat must transfer to the...

    If the lump is going to be out of the car then it will be much easier as its the access that makes it a difficult job tbh.

    Timing locking tool

    Also, how come you can't stretch to a set of tools but can drive a B7 RS4?

    Timing locking tool

    Have you ever changed a floating pulley setup before? If not, then I wouldn't attempt it to be honest. For the sake of an extra couple of hundred quid you get the peace of mind that it's done right. If you get it wrong then you'll either a) be down on power or b) you've ruin the engine. You...

    All the Renault Sport models have VVT. The F4R engine is used in various cars without the VVT, but none of the Clio's.

    Timing locking tool

    What car do you have? if it's a 172/182 then yes you have VVT

    Buy the set from Renault then sell it on again. You'll make most of the money back (it's what I did)

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    Not bad for an iPhone picture, the DoF feature works really well. Just saying Hi! by Chris Maskrey, on Flickr

    A few from New York

    Great pics, but I'd reduce the copyright logo a bit as it immediately draws your eye instead of the great photo.

    197 Second Cambelt change

    Not quite - The early 197's (2006-2008) had the 5 year interval. All 200's have the 6 year interval though.

    Rotrex aux belt size

    If you know the original pulley size and the new pulley size it should be fairly simple to work out how much longer the belt needs to be,

    SKY Q

    I get all channels (inc Movies and Sport) a 2tb Sky Q box and a minibox for £35 a month. No activation fee or upfront fee. New customer

    Can I fit non xenon headlights in my 182?

    Why would you want to though? Unless its a track only car?

    SKY Q

    The mini box doesn't connect to your home wifi, it connects to the Sky Q main box doesn't it? Or am I missing something?

    I f*cked up

    To be fair to you, it's not a well worded sentence!
  25. Chrisgti6

    I f*cked up

    I took that as the steering wheel was 45 degrees turned to the left, not the actual wheel..........?
  26. Chrisgti6

    I f*cked up

    Surely that would be obvious, the wheel wouldn't turn with the steering?

    Volvo 850R

    It'll be spot on once it's got something on the grill - in my opinion of course.
  28. Chrisgti6

    Volvo 850R

    Yes it needs something. It looked better with the old grill on tbh.

    Volvo 850R

    What this really really needs is to come and live with me.
