Are you mad? Don't respray it, the colour's one of the best things about it!!

GOOD!! My work here is done. :approve:

I'd pay £595 to go bombing around in that, it looks like a right laugh as long as it doesn't fall apart.

I just don't they won't say : 'what a great bunch of lads....apart from that tw*t with the dreadlocks, he was a right awkward cnut!!' lol

Poured coolant in one end, then watched it pour out the other and boil off on the radiator. :dapprove:

I can switch the filter over in under a minute, it's a piece of piss, I just don't want them thinking the CS lads are a pain in the arse. I'll wing it on the day, if they seem in a good mood i'll ask, if they seem like they just want to get through as many cars as they can in the most...

I saw a blue 172 today with white grills, white fog surrounds and a white rear bumper insert, it looked like a tube of f*cking aquafresh. The sad thing was it was a really nice car apart from the toothpaste theme. :dapprove:

I take it they won't let me change my air filter between runs? I'm using a cylindrical foam Pipercross filter in a V6 airbox, i'm about to clean it so i've got a ph1 paper filter to go in it for a few days, i'd be interested to see which one works better. If i'm not completely skint after my...

Brutal looking, love a nice Golf. :approve:

Don't worry lads, i'm getting a new rad fitted on Tuesday at a local French car specialist, it'll be brand new and it'll cost me £245 fitted and they're giving me a courtesy car so I can get to work Tues/Wed. Hopefully it'll all be sorted for Saturdays RR day. Pain in the f*cking arse to be...

Right i've just got to work in Stratford Upon Avon and there's steam pissing out the front of it, i'm hoping it's just leaking fluid boiling off on the rad, there is a halfords here, is there anything I can get that'll bodge fix it, and where the hell would I put it because as far as I can tell...

Nice one, i'd really appreciate so help and advice from someone that knows what to look for, do you wan't me to come to you if you've got the space at yours to take the bumper off? If not i've got a driveway with plenty of space if you want to come to mine? I don't mind either way, what ever's...

If you could mate that would be great, are you about on Monday?

Cheers for the offer mate. :) I'll more than likely be working Tuesday, I don't normally get home until 6:30pm. I'm going to have a go at taking the bumper off on Monday, i'll have a good look round the rad to see if I can confirm if it's just a split at the bottom of that pipe. If I can cut...

Ok, if it gets worse and I run out of coolant before Monday i'll bung some water in it. I just hope I can sort the leak out on Monday, otherwise they might not let me run the car at the rr day it's it's pissing fluids everywhere.

It's not a massive leak, i've only seen a small puddle under the rad twice in the last week. If all else fails can I pour water in the header tank to make what coolant I have go further until Monday?

You make it sound so easy. lol I'm working all weekend but i'm off Monday so i'll have a go a sorting it then, i've got a 5litre bottle of coolant in the car as i've been topping it up more and more over the last week, as the header tank always seems to be below minimum. I'll go to Renault and...

Sh*t this is getting too complicated for someone with sod all mechanical knowledge like me. I take it I have to bleed the system so that when I fill it back up with coolant there's no air in it, also what do I need to do with that top bolt, take it off or just loosen it and how do I know when...

I'm in Coventry lads, about a mile or two from the M6/M69, and about a mile or two away from the M6 Ricoh Arena. As far as I can tell it's only leaking from a rubber pipe, it might just need any split at the bottom cutting off then refitting. I've never taken the bumper off, but i've read...

Sounds like a dodgy connection somewhere, I know sod all about electrics but if it continues then i'd be going to see an auto sparky.

Haha good stuff, I had a feeling it might be an alignment issue, I bet you're well please it was such a cheap and easy fix?

Don't worry I learnt from my mistakes. lol All of my badges and bullets are sprayed and lacquered to a standard i'm more than happy with, I knew it would be a learning curve as I had no clue what I was doing before I started, but the only way to learn is by doing and i'd be a lot more confident...

Haha, I appreciate the sentiment mate, you're a good bloke. :approve:

Ah ok cheers dude. :approve: Only thing is I have no experiance of dealing with stuff like this, I know it's as theoretically 'simple' as removing the bumper, taking the hose off, catching all the coolant, cutting the hose, then refitting, but i'm sh*t at anything other than studio...

Especially with the lacquer, as a thick coat will make the dried paint layers run, trust me I know from experience. lol

This started a few days ago when we had the baking hot weather, not sure if that's relevant or not. It's not easy to take a photo of it but hopefully it shows where it's leaking from, it's the hose on the left of the rad, it'll be a bumper off job but I just though i'd get a few peoples...

It's quite hard to get a decent photo of it, I had trouble getting it in focus, but hopefully some of you may know which hose it is. I don't think it's ever had a clip on it, or even if it's meant to, bottom left of the rad.

The thing is I have no clue how to take the bumper off, or how I would go about sorting the leak out, I have zero mechanical knowledge and I can't run the risk of going at it blind and f*cking it all up through lack of knowledge. I'm going to have to get it booked in at a garage and spend more...

I've found the coolant leak but I can't get a decent photo of it, if you're looking at the front of the car, the hose on the left of the radiator that connects vertically at the bottom is weeping fluid. I've tried to look for a photo of the front of a 1*2 with it's bumper off, but I can't find...
