I use them all. Some amazing stuff on forums with some great restoration threads. But equally there are some diy amateurs thtat like to just have a fiddle. I enjoy watching just being Hayden, but the other day he realised his knocking was suspension he had nof tightened From one of his mods.

My ideal dream was always a manta with a red top with may be 180 bhp.

Back in those days mods was about looking at small ads in the back of car magazines and phoning uk mail order. Borrowing parents credit card.

Back in period I ran a couple of opel manta s for 6 years. 1992 to 1998. At samd time my bro had mk1 gte astra. He replaced with an 88 16v gte astra. that was the 156 bhp red top. He then moved on to mk3 Gsi red top then ecotec. He did not really understand cars and just kept going newer. I...

That's it efb is just the enhanced normal tech. Europart are crazy. Get on there mailing list and they send you codes for 45 or 50% off every day. Hate to think what happens if you just rock up off the street into a store and let them empty your wallet.

You need to check out your battery type, my father in law has a 2016 fiesta with stop start. Does not use agm technology battery just an enhanced conventional tecnnology. I looked up europarts with reg to find out battery type. Whereas my meg has step start and is agm.

Nice box. Some people do things properly.

Ideally you jusg leave it on. Then the charger tops up as and when the battery drops. Obviously with the lead to the grill means the charger and the extension lead Still sitting outside in elements? I have one car in garage i leave on trickle. The other car I charge every couple of weeks on...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ADIHUVG/?tag=cliospnet01-21 This is 2.5m which seems like overkill. Get some able ties you can have it coming out anywhere. Under front bumper. They also do lead with indicator light red/amber/green. There is a Harry's garage where he talks abouf car storage. But...

You could of course get tyres delivered direct to refurbished.

I only replaced 2 tyres. Lucky had a spare set of wheels and an estate. 4 wheels with tyres + 2 tyres takes up a lot of space. That the other thing they charge you a premium if you give them car with wheels, cheaper if you just give them wheels.

Charger lead pretty short around 4 foot. Lead from terminals to charger comes with one that you can leave attached and thennplug to the charger. This is not very Long but you can buy longer ones and run to poke out of your grill, then you can charge without bonnet being open. It may be easier...

Just watch if you are going darker then you will need centre caps painted which is extra cost.

I used wheel works in crawley for some subaru wheels 4 years ago. Set of 4 in gold. Got new tyres fitted at same time that I bought from Camskill. Good way to save a bit if you are due tyres as saves on normal fitting costs. Still look as new. Although i take of clean and store over winter then...

I have used these before but look to be in lockdown. Previously have been good but last time was first time I ordered liquid yellow and that seemed very gloopy. Not sure if that is function of paint type. https://www.auto-paint.co.uk

Used a turtle wax headlight restorer on wife's 2005 blobeye sti. It is cheaper than the competitors at a tenner. Really impressed with results. Crystal clear. They were not that bad so only need polishing compound. Did not need to used sanding pads.

I threw some in my megane a couple of weeks ago. I am only light use. Cheap enough from rpd. I think it was £27. Been doing mine every 6 months at approx 3k miles. Meg 275 service intervals are 12k or 2 years.

My wife had a z3m coupe when i had my e91, had to wait till daughter in a front facing seat as no passenger airbag switch on that. Boot ok on that. Remember seeing a picture online someone took when I took daughter to breakfast club at goodwood of the car with recaro child seat. When my...

Still loving the pan roof combo with the light leather. Such a bright place to be.

Good update. You are right about the trim the dark wood looks better against that leather. Don't believe you will have much space. Whilst the e91 is a cracking looking car the narrow boot due to being rwd does not give great space once a pushchair is in there. Having the other back seat makes...

Coming from a fr which i assume is boosted. Beware the relative lack of low down torque. The 182 hides this better because of lower weight. The 197 or 200 you will need to be top of rev range to keep up with relatively modest looking modern turbo petrol or diesel cars. Ok on a back road or...

If you have no car as you crashed or blew up you previous one and need it to drive at the moment to your job at the hospital. Yes. If you are getting because its cheap? Does not sound essential. Remember any interaction with a stranger puts your friends and family at risk not just you. They...

Nice 280. Looks like you have not had a chance to get it dirty yet.

A friend of mine just ended his deal on a 335d and hands back to bmw a little early and picked up its replacement a new m135i. He said its sat outsiee its house with 100 miles on it. I have seen a good few people talking about the £229 a Month deals on megane rs with delivery dates soon. I guess...

In a similar vain to the"Anyone going for long drives" hopefully with less abuse. To relieve boredom I regularly look at pistonheads. Still a few nice cars coming up from private sellers. Noticed a nice black gold car with low miles and Recaros. I may have taken a look at such a car, unlikely...

Whilst out to my daily exercise (cycle) combined with collection of food supplies I came across a q7 broken down on a round about. Two police cars sped to it in blue lights. To assist the driver try in to push his elderly 2.5 tonne truck. I am sure he did not plan on breaking down when he...

Subaru is nice car we have had ours for 6 years bought with 25k now has 55k. Took 9 months to find and that was then. Has never missed a beat only std annual servicing at subaru main dealer. Does 27 mpg. Which reflects how uts driven! Always keep eyes peeled for nice 182 or 200. To partner up...

Sorry may have missed it but is it cup pack? The wheel colour is throwing me. Nice looking car. My wife has a sti widetrack but would still consider a nice 182 in a rare colour to replace it.

I reversed my meg in the garage and could not get out. Was not sure if it was meg that was wide or my waistline. Long doors don't help on 3 door. Plenty of room on 306. Amazing value on parts.

I am still an evo subscriber. From issue 2. Bought all my cars based on there reviews. Harry podcast is good makes I sound like the wildwest when he set it up. Just renewed subs they are going a year for £36. With an amazing a3 poster book. Like giant postcards. There is a clio Williams in...
