Sorted it! This is how I did it... Yesterday I had managed to get the bolt out a good 7 or 8 turns before it rounded off, so some of the thread was exposed. I decided to spray some WD40 onto the thread and around the hole then tighten it back up a couple of turns - my thinking was that it'd make...

No idea. I'd like to know though - might give me a couple more options. Not a bad idea actually. If I could hack the head off it the bracket would lift over the top I bet. I suppose I could then drill the thread out whenever I could be bothered, or get some mole grips on it underneath the car...

I've now got this same problem. The f**king thing has rounded off! Nothing I've tried has worked so far, so tomorrow I'm going to file / grind a couple of flat sides onto it and get the adjustable spanner on it. If that doesn't work, I need someone with a spot welder :mad:

LMAO. If that was posted on CS it'd be 900+ pages long and full of piss taking within minutes.

LOL. I hit a badger in my 306 years ago. It did absolutely no damage to the car whatsoever. I don't think the badger would have appreciated it much though... I was doing about 90 at the time. I just hit it, heard a thud then felt the wheel run over part of it. Noice.

This. It's common sense really. The sump plug key should cost no more than about £5 from a motor factors. Then to remove the filter either buy / borrow the proper tool to remove it, or if you're feeling pikey just jab a screwdriver through it and use it to twist the filter off.

Looks awesome.

Re: iPhone "must have" apps? So basically you have to sleep with your iPhone? That's taking it a bit too far IMO. As a side note, does the accelerometer know when you're smashing your Mrs' back doors in, based on your body movements? Wouldn't it be cool if it started shouting "Who's the...

I found the 640-802 exam harder than 640-553. But that's probably because been looking after PIX/ASA's for a good few years before actually taking the exam and didn't have quite so much to learn by comparison. Most of the interesting stuff for the CCNA exam I already knew beforehand. It was...

A nice long Italian tune-up might help bring it back up to its potential though.

Only other person I know of in Ilkeston is Bongy, but I don't know what car he drives because I've never actually met him. I see a Titanium 182 driving around a lot but I don't know whose that is. There's also a white 197 on Nottingham Road just as you enter Trowell.

Doubt I'll be coming either. I'm on call again by the looks of things.

Looks awesome. Best colour IMO.

I don't know how much they cost new. My first was replaced by the stealer under warranty a few weeks after I bought the car. That one failed a month or two later and they wouldn't replace it because I didn't purchase the extended warranty from them. So for my third I went to a scrappie and paid...

It's definitely shagged. I'm on my third one!

I'd say it could have been me, except I don't have Euro plates or anything down the side. Whereabouts was it?

Nope, I don't need two :p Mine's not bad on fuel at all really. I don't know what it's doing to the gallon but a full tank usually lasts about a week on normal mileage. The trip down to K-Tec uses ¾ of a tank at the minute but I'm expecting to use more when the boost is cranked up.

Cluster + SAN = WIN.

Adam, have you done anything else to the car recently? EDIT: You selling it now?!

It was going to be tomorrow but I'm going down on Monday now instead.

Nice choice of wheels. Poor choice of tyres. I had Pirelli P6000's on one of my 306's and they were shocking. I then had a set on my 106 GTi and they were even worse on that. Went for a set of Goodyear Eagle F1's after and it felt like I was driving on glue by comparison.

They're not bad looking but they're just too small. They don't look right IMO.

Looks OK despite the poor camera. PLEASE get some clear side repeaters put on. The orange don't suit Icebergs at all.

FLOL. AKA user stupidity.

popie, how old are you out of interest? And how much NCB do you have? Sky wanted something like £950 for me fully comp, which is preposterous! Flux and Greenlight only want in the region of £700 - £750 which is only slightly more than I was paying when the car was normally aspirated.

I may or may not be able to attend. Depends on whether or not I'm on call again this weekend (I shouldn't be).

There's a difference between doing something because you can and doing something because you're not wired up properly. In this case it's the latter.

The last bend at Amen Corner that leads onto the pit straight is awesome for drifting. A few of us had the karts on two wheels coming round that corner and got told to slow down! I wouldn't say the karts are too powerful for the track as such, it's more that the track is very tight and it makes...

No. I'm not allowed to order nutritional suppliments in case I accidentally consume them and find myself eating healthily ;)

That wouldn't surprise me at all TBH.
