  1. The Z is due it's mot tomorrow. I had it serviced a couple of months ago, anyone got a recommendation of a decent garage local to hagley road Birmingham for the mot? Am I right in thinking the garage doesn't matter that much as it's just having the mot?

    Cheers

  2. Zed has gone along with with my shed.

     

    Long story....but i took my zed to webuyanycar for quick cash relief :lol: Couldn't face selling it to a real person :blush: And to be honest my experience was bloody brilliant....apart from there low evaluations there is nothing else you can argue about. Within 24 hours the money is in my bank account and the car is out of my hair.

     

    So in the meantime i have picked up one of these...its a smart forfour....2006 20k miles £3,500. I quite like the styling and the interior is a huge upgrade from the saxo...possibly the zed too :lol: Its a real quirky car that has all the mod cons and has a bit of attitude too. I wanted a real cheap car to run along with looks and comfort. There's also a real buzzing community for these as there are quite a rare sight.

    With winter approaching my zed would of just been sat in my garage for 5 months and having to fork out about 450 a month for the pleasure. So the smart thing for me to do was to get rid and get something more comfortable to drive around all the time and then think about a zed march april time next year (by which time im sure i could get a decent import for about 6k)

     

    I seriously fell out of love with my zed after the years of abuse i give it.....i shall never deface another car.

     

    I'm ready for all the abuse B)

     

    Is this for real? If so, u have royally screwed the pooch. That thing is a piece of crap!

  3. Just weighed one of my Rota GTR 19x9 wheels and it came to 22.4kg (with falken fk452 fitted)

    Does anyone know how this compares to standard rays, LMGT4's, or any other after market wheels?

    Thanks

  4. They have been great so far. Rang them at 4.30 explaining the problem, guy asked me to send him a pic so I did. Got a reply 10 mins later. Hopefully will have it sorted soon.

    World apart from my solicitors who take at least 3 days to do anything, including forward an email :angry::angry::angry:

  5. Front drivers side tyre was going flat overnight. Took it to kwik fit, revealed there to be a pretty substantial crack in the rim. Anyone got any advice on what to do? Will it be covered under warranty? If not, am I better off getting it repaired or replaced?

    its a 19" Rota GTR about 8 months old.

    Cheers

  6. Both of mine seem to have gone, unless I am being dumb (cant find the fuse for it?) Whats the typical cost of these and how easy are they to fit? Ive looked for a guide but cant find one. Going to stealers for MOT in couple of weeks, want to get it done before this as I imagine they would be very pricey

  7. Clay bar is not for removing scratches. It is for contaminates. If you rub your fingers across the paint and it feels rough, a claybar will help. Otherwise it doesn't do much. Agree with Ebized though, professional detailers generally do a very good job and are well worth the investment. Get one to sort it out for you then all you have to do is maintain.
