    i4Detailing Suggestion

    What about Vouchers ? You know, the ones from the Bank of England. Available to be spent anywhere in exchange for products and services ;) /bah humbug.

    steaming windows

    You're warm .. the car is cold. It's physics (or chemistry or biology..?). Put the a/c on, drive off, job done.

    Stick them on the 'bay.

    Help me hide holograms!

    Riiiiight. So buy something suitable. Maybe that's a finishing pad and has as much cutting power as a wet tissue. Buy some clay, lube, IPA and decent MF cloths while you're there too... Sounds like you don't really know what you're doing at all.

    HEEEEEELLLLPPPPPP starting problem

    Dodgy earth to starter or one of the big mounts perhaps ? No battery light = no circuit so I'd suggest you get a torch and get hunting ;)

    What have you been using (pad/polish) on your DA ?!

    1.2 alternator bearings size ?

    Anyone got an idea what size the bearings are ? Colleague is looking to replace the noisy bearings... alternator works fine but is just noisy. Failing that, has anyone got a spare but perfectly working quiet 1.2 alternator kicking about ?! Thanks :evil:

    A few snaps from Hong Kong (with tripod!)

    6/10. Bit more effort and you could become a real photographer one day, Dan.

    Big red inertia switch. Whack it. Hard.

    Expensive Week :/

    Odd. I'd call Renault UK and complain TBH... Seriously though, I hope your original salary was hilariously large as a 50% paycut would hurt 99% of the world's population at the best of times !

    Admiral, 182 ff quote

    I don't understand this at all. It's not like rocket launchers or twin turbos were an option... How could you be sure what the car should have had as it left the factory !? Has anyone actually had insurance invalidated because they didn't "declare" their plastic splitter which comes OEM...

    Subframe bent, best options?

    Get a quote on a dCi 80 Clio .. get a quote on a Focus 1.6 .. pick anything at random < £2k from PH / AT and get a quote on that. Sell your wreck and buy a new car. It'll probably cheaper then the 6 large you're about to drop making a psuedo172.

    Subframe bent, best options?

    F**k that for a laugh. Buy a dCi 80 and flog the rest. £4k for a Clio insurance. ROFFLEBURGERS !

    Time for some new shoes

    They're distinctly average at best. V12 all the way :approve:

    Time for some new shoes

    195s are 10mm narrower across the road-surface. Unless you're a track hero, you will never notice the difference in grip.

    Time for some new shoes

    Hankook V12 .. all day long. Check 205 vs 195 on price as well. You'll not notice the difference on the road. Camskill and Blackcircles are about the only places worth checking these days. Lal B3N works for Camskill :approve:

    Time for some new shoes

    http://www.blackcircles.com/general/tyre-labelling/tyre-label A > G = 7.5% difference in economy under those conditions. So, C > F is maybe half of that ? 3% ? 3% of 35mpg = 1.05mpg different. You'll never notice. Just get the best grippiest tyres you can afford. If you're worried...

    Time for some new shoes

    Less rolling resistance = less fuel .. which is great right up until the first time you take a corner as less rolling resistance = less grip.

    EE's 4G plans are out.

    I'm on EE and I don't think I have a 4G phone (Google Nexus - the new one) so I'm quite alright on 3G, TBH. My mobile internet is just about as quick when on full boost as my 10MB broadband anyway. I think, as already pointed out, if you can access data much faster (what speeds are we...

    Throttle problem yet again. Help needed

    If blipping or pulling the throttle up solves it, that alone suggests to me it's simply cable/TB related. Nowt else is involved. New TB unit I guess..

    Throttle problem yet again. Help needed

    If the cable has been replaced, I guess the TB butterfly is sticking. Take it off and give it a damn good seeing to !

    Tree related parking problem

    Silly question possibly, but has the car's paint been protected with wax / sealant etc..? A flimsy shelter would blow away or smack into the cars whereas a cover I would think would wear the edges off your paint in no time. They're not really designed to be used outdoors every day... well...
