We have a dewalt impact gun (with the biggest battery they do) at work for taking wheels on and off and to be honest, it’s way too powerful for that. Can snap a wheel bolt off piece of piss, We tried it on a scrapper.

I’ll drop you a PM now

@Arnie I have performed a V Check on one of my cars and have uncovered a world of pain. Do you have a contact number please?

So, all the parts loaded in the boot (loom, clocks, rad, coolant pipes, heater box etc etc) and car put back together. She’s now just waiting to go to a wiring specialist to get all of that work done. Just a waiting game now.

Hi! 👋 I have two;

posting pictures properly on social media is so far down my list of “stuff to care about” it’s unreal. It’s even further down than Strictly Come Dancing. HTH.

I’ve had some cars in storage 10 years and I just put the battery on charge the night before starting it up! 😂 (I then drive them very gently to be serviced and MOT’d)

Oh, and we smashed in some dominoes... 😂

Making some serious progress tonight. Rear Bumper on, poly carb windows in, all door and window rubbers in, all door furniture on, wings on, wheels on.... It’s getting close!

Autosmart, 100%! Best I’ve ever used.

I did 400+ miles today, got 600+ to do tomorrow... 🤦‍♂️😂

My current 182 engine does 40mpg commuting. My old 200 used to do 24/25 😂

Having crashed a Renault Megane to the point that all the airbags went off, I can confirm that once they have all gone pop, the car won’t start afterwards. If you’ve snipped the wires that send signal back to the ECU (like the pre tensioners for example) then there’s every chance this is the...

What happens when you click on the thread titles mate? Welcome to the club btw. 👍

I Honestly nearly did! But then I remembered it’s going to. E here so long that it will have moss all over it by the time you get here anyway.

Not a lot to report. We’ve just cancelled 2 track days which is a bummer but hey ho, life goes on. I cleaned it today, first clean for a very very long time and it’s my daily so it needed it big time! Used a litre of fallout remover! 😂 Next week I’m going to sort the stereo out because it’s...

What have you got? I’m always buying....

I’ve no idea mate. I spent over a grand with him and just as I was repairing the damage to my wallet, I asked if I could have 5L to try. I will be using it for the next 4 years I think! A tiny little drop in the bottom of my snow foam bottle was perfect. But to use 5L will take me a bloody...

Tried Autosmart’s own brand Snow foam yesterday. Hands down the best I’ve ever used. And I’ve used s**t loads. Really thick, clings for absolutely ages even in direct sunlight, and it loosened all of the green funky stuff that accumulated on my mums very unused MR2. If you can, get involved!

Welcome to the Forum, Only in Bristol Myself. 👋

Luckily for you, you have an awesome mate!

I work here; Ellanicars.co.uk we are closed to the public due to government restrictions. We have sold a couple of cars to key workers, I even sold a car to an MP yesterday (or the day before, all the days blend in to one.. 😂) the government are not helping us with anything that they’ve...

Mines a year old and still perfect.

got daily’d for a bit, took it to the first ever Cliosport Festival, wife basically told me to scrap it because we were about to sell our house and frankly it looked dreadful parked out the front l, so I did. Was a great van!

Thanks. 2004/54 plate.

What a about a ‘Neverbeen’ sticker for some ultimate originality?? 😂

Remove the scuttle panel and clean out all the leaves and s**t that will eventually cause a water leak in your car. Remove arch liners and clean out all the s**t/dirt/leaves behind them. Same for the side skirts. You’ll probably lose 3kg’s in weight just from that! 😂 order some LED’s for the...

Teesport was the import center where all the new cars came in. When I worked for Renault (2000-2008) new cars either came in to Teesport or Thorn. Once in at either of those import Centres, they were pdi’d, locking wheel nuts fitted, glass etched with part of the Vin and an a Thatcham approved...

I’ve just fitted J & R driveshafts you my passat and can’t fault them. Bloody cheap too!

You need to go and get drive a few. Good ones are lovely to drive, bad ones are total guff.
