    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    I just got the range the other week before all our bad weather up North and not had a chance to try them out yet. Think Im going to use both hybrid and normal shampoo, use hybrid every second wash or something. Always get good service from Alan and Eoin

    Seats with R022 cage

    I had a mirco rts seat at first and then found out that their known for a wide fit and wouldnt fit with door bars. Even with extra holes drilled in the jon foz frames Then changed to motordrive seat which was narrower and a better fit, although still tight and still not 100% centre but miles...

    The new tool thread

    Decided on a sealey set in the end rather than forking out for Bluepoint / Snap on https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637770847/12pc-reversible-combination-ratchet-spanner-set As for torches, led auto lamps do one with a dock but its smaller than most normal inspection lamps

    The new tool thread

    Because its me thats buying them and thats what I prefer😂😂 Rather have the rigidity and know the spanner will be where I want it to be when reaching into awkward places and able to put force on it without it having a mind of its own

    The new tool thread

    Whats everyone using for ratchet spanners? Currently got halfords straight ones, not the best for access so want to go for the slightly angled ones. Been looking at mac tools and others but starting to sway towards bluepoint ones https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173615907160

    Should I get the belts done before trying to sell?

    As said, just advertise as is. New owner can run the risk or get the belts done themselves with whoever they want to do them. As long as its reflected in the price

    Getting the 2x2 172 Cup up on stands.

    Similar method to eddie, if I dont need to work on the rear I often just leave the rear on ramps If only using one jack sometimes have to do the front bit by bit to save the axle stands moving. If they have a good hold on the chassis leg and fit in the stand good then shouldnt see much movement

    Reliable jump starter

    Seen alot of recovery guys reccomend the noco jump packs, halfords stock them too. Not sure if you can get anything off them with a trade card

    Any idea where the staining has came from? Is it a fault of the tile? Thanks for all the feedback, will check out some of them

    Garage Flooring

    Looking for your thoughts and experiences with garage flooring. Were moving house soon and getting some flooring down in the garage is top of the list of priorities before it ends up full of stuff. Plan is to have the ph1 at home in the garage for working on so must be able to withstand a jack...

    Why is buying a 172/182 so hard?

    Yeah doesnt get me when some folk say must have belts done. Just factor it into the price. I didnt get mine done before sale for that exact reason.

    Why is buying a 172/182 so hard?

    Threads like this make me regret just selling my standard 172 cup and it isn't even away yet! Felt it was wasted just not getting used due to other priorities and cash can be used elsewhere

    Pure motorsport engine mounts

    Dont think anyone seems to do a mount for that one. Maybe the other 3 take most of the load and that one just absorbs some of the movement? If going solid mounts there will be minimal movement anyway

    Trailer advice

    They wont weigh you when they pull you but they dont go by actual weight. They go by the plated weight. Even if your trailer is plated for 2100kg and you only have a 1000kg clio on it, your down as 2100kg

    Trailer advice

    100% right, I overlooked that slightly haha Doesn't seem to be a happy medium towing with a van. They can either tow next to nothing or a decent weight. Its well worth just doing the trailer test, least you know what to expect if youve never towed or reversed with a trailer before and keeps your...

    Trailer advice

    If your trying to get round it without doing trailer test then be careful if going for a larger van. Trafic with a towing capacity of 2000kg will only leave you 1500kg for trailer, car and anything else you would like to carry. Will likely involve getting trailer downplated in order to stay...

    Main brands out there are brian james and ifor williams. Also got indespension and woodford but dont see so much of these. For a decent sized trailer in good condition expect to pay £1500-£2500 depending on age I have an ifor williams ct136hd, 13 x 6 foot and can carry 2100kg, 2700kg gross I...
