lol, you want a beer that much ;)

I will take some of that, my 50 quid to do a whole car is sounding cheap!

Spanking, both looking good, Black Gold is where it's at.

Would have been intresting on bodies, bet it sounds good on carbs. You can see its the same head with all those covers off in the 180 pics.

Cheeky as you like.

No suggestions on anywhere local for you to get it sorted. Shoulnt be anymore than 150-200 quid for a proper job. As said before you may get away with just getting the laquer flatted back and getting it re-laquered

I must admit it didnt look like a 180 lump to me. I overlooked the coils due to the fact its not running the standard injection anymore.

Tyre pressures ok? Nothing bent or damaged. The back end should not feel any worse than your old williams did. The short wheel base and stiff suspension means that the rear wheel can be lifted at ease in the tighter turns. Should'nt feel as if its going to let go all the time though.

Watch out for the dodgy coolant temp sensor causing the car to run as if it's cold all the time. The temp gauge will rise and fall. Listen out for any exhaust noise as they can die at anytime!

Someone else on here had simerler symptoms on here not long ago IIRC after a cam belt change.

I have only ever seen the 180 lumps with the silver plastic cover on the top of the rocker cover. Was suprised to see underneath that head looks just like the 16V XU head on my old 306 Xsi. He has managed to get it to run ok then, when they first came a lot of the Pug lot reckoned as it came...

At least it's sorted, loss of a years NCB is a kick in the teeth though :(

Wont be nowt in on the road standard 306 GTi 6 v 172/182

I could never see the point either.

When I had my 306 I used to tell them not to do the road test, as long as I knew I was happy with the car beforehand and all they had done was changed the oil etc, I did'nt see the point.

When the finally got it on the system ;)

Waste of time, and make a silly noise if you do fit one!

Best bet for Megs Pro Line stuff is http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ Alex at http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/ is stopping or has stopped, but worth an email as he may have some left and will do CS discount if you join the club.

Hazing will have been caused by the 83 not being broken down, You need to work it on faster speeds, with slow passes to make sure it breaks down fully. 2 or 3 passes on speed 3/4 nad the same on 6. I dont like the stuff to be honest. SSR 2.5 works better and is more user freindly. Weather the...

Ouch I take it Martin is ok ?

LOL Sounds fun!

Pads and cloths are fine, you could look into the Sonus SFX pads as they get things done a little quicker due to being slightly more dense and abbrassive foam. This is what I did on my own car http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=135559 and have since topped it with Carnuba Wax...

Remove matts. Shake to remove lose debris. Spray on some Autoglym Shampoo in the Tin, Allow to foam up, scrub with a damp cloth. Stubborn stains use something like Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner. Vacuum, first with a normal attachment and then with one of the brush type tools to pull the pile...

Easyist option is a Meguiars Quick Clay Kit, about 12 quid from Halfords. Easy to do, just make sure the paintwork had plenty of lubrication between that and the clay. Polish well after and how will still get a high gloss even by hand.

Clay removes embedded contaminents on paint that washing alone wont. http://www.guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=14 Should sort of the rough feeling your paint has.

Doesnt look like a 180 lump to me either - but have never seen on with all the covers off.

Wont be legal. http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/regmarks/reg_marks.htm

Must be the same guy that was on 5th Gear. I am going to up my prices!

You can have a standard black one , and I will take the modded yellow one off your hands ;)

Find another dent company, they can sort them without needeing to get behind if they are using the more modern up to date systems.
