i dont like phase 1 wheels sorry, i want to keep it standard and i like phase 2 wheels so i want to leave them on it, ill just have to drive it around cap less, until i work out of way of securing them. I hate theiving scum, they deserve a slap (and will get one if i ever catch one)

i know mate, i cant stand theiving scum they make me sick !!

rant here, Q, how easy is it for some f*cking a$$hole to steal your centre caps of your valver , A, too bloomin easy !! go to southend for a few games of bowling with your mates, return to your valver a few hours later and hey presto, some theiving cnut has stolen the passenger side...

try paul maitchell as he specialises in them mailto:paul@infinicar.com">paul@infinicar.com i think is his e mail address failing that your local reno scrappy, and hope they got a 16v in there.

i knew it was over there somewhere :oops: rasp i think u are right !!!

went down southend a while back and saw about 300,000 blue 16vs & wlliams all parked up in a line by the casino, as i was looking for a 16v at the time thought id look in. and here i am.

change the oil in it, and dont use magnatec as it makes it sound like a diesel from cold. (mine sounds the same, but didnt till i put that sh*t in it) so its an oil cahnge all the way then !!!

isnt there a key hole for this down the passenger side footwell ?? put the key in and turn it off, alternatively get the place where you are having the alarm fitted to disconnect the old one. thats what i did when i got my cat 1.

dont think id take my car to that garage know he rags the ar$e of the car !!

very true, it is only worth it on a cup, round my there is J*GTE on an astra gte, only worth some thing on a gte !!!

its 137bhp at the fly remember , so it would prob be 115-120 on the road, im sure i will be corrceted if im wrong !! also i wouldnt mind seeing what you get as mines standard (i know it will vary from car to car but a rough guess will do)

ive got a rubber thing which grips it, with out scratching the thing you want to get off, i couldnt get mine off by hand, but this thing got it off a piece of p*ss !!!

that plate is mint !!! from what i remember the dvla auctioned it, and it did go for something like a grand.

i got quoted more for a 172 than a cup, which i thought was odd, they came out about £300 more than now for my 16v, performance wise, i wouldnt worry about it (my dad has a 172) as i went from a, ahem !! 1.1 fiesta (it was a minter) to my 16v with no problems with the power difference of it...

yeah man, id ask for the money back, when my 16v had its last service, i asked too see the bits they had changed, i even marked the old oil filter to make sure... the cheeky fecker even goes, do u wanna see the old oil !! when i got back they had all the bits in plastic bags ! and they did...

i would defo get a new one... they look spot on !!!

when i was looking for my 16v i looked at a black L reg phase 2, it had only 22k on the clock from new !! but only one stamp in the book and not much history to back this. they had it up for 4k and that was 18 months ago. (i didnt buy it btw)

i paid £3600 for my 16v, 18 months ago, sports blue with leather, it was up for £4k but i knocked him down, it was on 79k with s/h cambelt just done etc, its now on 89 k !!

GOOD LAD !!!!:D

thanks smokey, i read it but have now ordered some phillips ones. ill see how i get on with them. cheers any way.

BTTT !!!!!

its normally cabs mate, or at the moment, me !!

what wattage are these?? and what wattage are the phillips ones i mentioned earlier ?? i want them to be bright on main beam and dipped.

are philips visionplus h4s any good ?? what are they like on dipped/full beam etc......

one of my headlight bulbs on my 16v (M reg) is fooked, its gone dimmer than the other one, so which bulbs are better than the standard ones ? as they are w*nk, i think the standard ones are 55/60 h4s ?? im going to see what powerbulbs.com have can any one advise me what to buy? i want...

ive fitted a new thremostat, and the 2 pipes into the matrix get very hot, but no heat comes out, well only for a bit when i close the vents,and open them again the heat only lasts for about 30 secs, and ive flusehed it thru. so do you reckon i need a new one too ??

the actual matrix was £25 from bb performance when i looked a while ago, but fitting it is where the big labour cost is, as they wanted something like £250. unless you do it your self then it will be al ot cheaper

sorry rockport, i stand corrected ;)

i wouldnt worry about them, mine are cut both sides so the light doesnt work.

looking good brun !!
