looks nice. regarding the scratched wheels... Cant they just replace them?

got it back. Happy days.

can stay on budget for the new tyres now instead. b*****d car.

Update: wire snapped on alternator. Is putting out 14v so is still good. Hopefully have it fixed later on.

Yeah, I just had a read about a few who have attempted it. I think I might get one from renparts and see what I can get it fitted for.

yep I guess so. Ah well, its on 52k and original alternator so it was to be expected. Whats my options on buying one and getting it fitted? I have mechanics in the family so does this need to be a specialist job or not?

car is dead. Started up then started lighting up everything. Turned heaters up and abs came on, put wipers on and airbag light came on. Annoying this was I was halfway onto the road when it cut out so I had to get the jump leads out. Then realised I have the battery cover on so had to run and...

yeah, but its not on when I'm driving around. I give it a little rev and it goes out?

Lol. I'm taking mine for a bit if a drive after top gear. See if the battery gets any charge into it. Have only potterd about the last few days so cant really say. Getting it checked tomorrow anyway.

yeah same. Cant be arsed with it at the moment lol. It starts up and runs fine just the wipers are slow. I did jump start my bosses car off mine the other day.... Can that relate to anything?

cheers for the info. Will have a check

will test it later. Hoping its not the alternator though. Cant be doing with a bill at the moment.

started the car up this morning and the battery light and stop light stayed illuminated. I gave it a rev and they both went out, thought nothing of it but then noticed after it started raining that my wipers seemed to be slow (if that makes sense?) the fastest setting seemed to be like the first...

couldn't make it today, got called out to work! Will be at the next one for sure.

never do.

@Mr Burns what time does it start? 12 again?

hoping to be there again for this.

don't we suggest doing them both at the same time? Or is it just wise to do the aux while you are doing the cambelt?

not sure on the temp sensors but I do believe 1300rpm isn't a normal idle?

yeah, that's what I plan to do cub. Ads, its a sports cat. Its a Longlife system and its pretty decent but the tailpipe is letting the car down. I would love a prospeed exhaust but Cardiff is looooong to get to.

No probs. engine management light is to do with the cat as its blowing a bit. lights off now, new exhaust system on the list to do. Well, it was anyway but now its moved up the list.

sure @jamesbell you get them from fancyplates. just google it and you will find them.

lol. The guy let me down plugging it in. @jordmk2 offered to plug hes in but i couldn't get there I time to do that. have done the dash diagnostic and it didn't find any faults so will try get it to the garage again today to get it plugged in.

cheers guys. Getting it plugged in, in about an hour so will see what it throws up.

very true that Dan. I will have it on track soon :)

yeah. I'm cleaning it this week I cant take it anymore. Car is definatley slower when its dirty.

what you having next out of interest :)
