    steering wheel shaking?

    Why did you get a garage to do them up tight :-S They could be loose or over tightened. Torque wrench, make sure they're all tight to the torque that is required, spacer onto hub and then wheels onto spacer, and see if it's doing it after that.

    Canon 1000d or a 550d??

    :dead: Permission to say C**K on CS... tried a command which works just fine on my iMac at home, but not on XP. Stupid Windows + IE7.... went back a page and it had lost what I'd written. Just written a massive reply telling you about the feature differences .. see here as I have a meeting to...

    Ph1 Radiator

    Between my job, gf, gym few times a week, social life, browsing the gawd damn emo thread, and a fair chance I'm going to spend some of the next 6 months abroad with work .. I don't need or want an unreliable car to keep me busy :rasp: But yes. They're like heroin but more expensive .. damn...

    Canon 1000d or a 550d??

    I'd personally avoid the 1000d as it's a proper poverty spec D-SLR. You'll struggle to sell it if you get bored of photography in 3 months time, and you'll regret buying it if you enjoy photography and want to upgrade too soon as well ! 450d (ebay outlet) is a great way to start into Canons...

    My RB Clio.

    If you're going for something banner worthy, look at the composition. The banner is long and thin.. [__________] most photos are [____] so if your photo shot is full of subject, like [_XXX] it will be no good for cropping down to the banner size. Try a shot which is more like [__xx], if you...

    Ph1 Radiator

    Boy am glad I didn't buy that one, Mr LOLs ! :o Hopefully it'll just be a rad, quick job hopefully and it'll be trouble free for at least a week. Someone remind me why I'm probably going to own one of these again soon ? :dead:

    My RB Clio.

    For future reference.. find the flickr picture you want, top left of photo - 'share this' .. BB code .. choose size req'd (med usually best) then click selector to BBCode not HTML - copy the text in the box, et voila ! Pictures .. not bad, but for me, the lighthouse is pretty distracting in...

    Clean Iceberg Pics Nothing Special..

    I think clean simple Icebergs are clioporrnography. I also think I should stop giving myself ideas before I end up with one of the damn things......!

    1st step onto the RS ladder

    I just cant honestly see the point ? Not much will look any different to your 1.4 at a component level. You're not going to blueprint the engine I'm presuming ? So why not just leave it alone and drive it ? Buy a car from a scrappy to reduce it to its component parts and attempt to put it...

    1st step onto the RS ladder

    No need to take it all apart, loosen things, brake stuff, lose important things...... RS's aren't Swiss watches, they're girls cars made of cheese and tinfoil. Badly. They break. When something brakes, squeaks, falls off .. find it and fix or replace it. You'll soon know your way round the...

    1st step onto the RS ladder

    Why would you buy a perfectly working car, and then leave it off the road for a year to take it apart then rebuild it ?! :S

    very stupid question but i have confused myself?

    8dam... Give it to Steve@R-Sport. £50 will get it machine polished and looking SPANKING. Buy PW, snowfoam lance/liquid, some decent wax (R222, 476S etc) and be done with it. He did Dan's M3 in April or May last year, and its still looking amazing even though it's not really been cleaned...

    On a SRS note for a second here .. bloody good of them to donate all of the funds to charideeeee !! Hope this gets a lot of attention. On an even more serious note .. we should have a few prizes for people, perhaps £10 for each one (out of the area rep's pocket of course) .. suggestions may...

    INFINITY INF-05 tyres 20545 r16 are they any good

    Yeah .. there's a reason they are cheap. To infinity and beyoooooond. Hard as granite so will last for ever, long after you've spun off into a tree at 20 mph the first time there's a bit of drizzle in the next town. Never ever buy cheap (crap) tyres !!

    Some comments/questions etc... 1: Very nice mint tidy fresh looking Ph1. 2: What have you been driving since (checks avatar) Aug 2008 ? I always assumed you probably had a Clio but never had any information to suggest any different, or frankly that you have been riding a pit pony around the...
