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 !

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...

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...

Well its about time they opened their eyes . Labour rates are f*ckin extortionate , its not as if the parts are that expensive and they could easily charge competitive prices and still make money . No wonder people go elsewhere . MrBillyUK !

It gets better ! Wait until your 72k service with cambelt and spark plugs ,lol . Its about £450 just for the cambelt at Sunwin Renault Preston MrBillyUK !

Thats the way it goes though , sad but true . Some people want the convenience of a quick deal , part ex for new .So they have you by the short and curlies and give you well below the market value . Thats how they make their money :( Privates sellings the way to go , but once your cars gone it...

^^^^^ Your right mate . Some people haven't got a clue , some are priced miles under . Always price it a couple of hundred over and be prepared for the haggle , price it under and your giving it away . Alot of people say that the new rs clio will affect the price of 172's / 182's but imo i...

And how much would you expect to get for it on your forecourt ?? MrBillyUK !
