  1. the story so far.............. first i had a nut round off on my spacers because some idiot at kwick fit over tightened them. (i needed to change the front wheel hub because the bearing was gone) then after 3 hours of trying my mechanic cut it out but wrecked the spacer. i then bought another pair of spacers and because they were 25mm instead of 20 i had them put on the back. i also had the rear wheel bearing changed. yesterday i was happy as larry driving my car and then i realised that when the steering is at 11o'clock im going straight, so i realised that i need to spend another load of money to get the laser alignment done again. so a trip on monday to CS. this morning i found a funny looking thing next to the rear wheel of my car.(on my driveway) picked it up, looked like a locking wheel nut but without the thread. looked at the wheel and basically the locking nut was broken. so now i have another problem with removing that from the stud! WTF is going on? if i get the alignment done and then theres a load of banging going on afterwards to remove the remains of the lock nut then it might be knocked off again! this is all made worse because i work away from home all week so im only here on weekends and monday mornings!! sorry about the rant guys How do i remove the remains of the nut? its basically just a ring now. i feel its going to be almost impossible to get something to grip it tight enough to remove it?
  2. I've had similar problems but mine was done by professionals! first i had a nut round off on my spacers because some idiot at kwick fit over tightened them.

  6. i've still got the original iphone. got and unlocked it the day it came out!!! been on orange with it for over 2years now i think. getting the 3GS in jan when my orange contract come up!! By far the best phone out there regardless of what you want to use it for.
  7. I got a JWT from CS recently. after fitting i was well impressed with the sound of the car. i highly recommend it!! Good luck with whatever option you go for dont forget to update with what you went for

  13. Have you ever tried the others? This seems to be the problem I am having you see, everyone who has a tomtom says tomtom, Garmin and Navman likewise. People seem to stick with a brand... i've had pretty much all of them over the last 5 years. tomtom is definately the best satnav for routes and user experience. id try and get the tomtom go if possible. i possible save up and go for the system nurrish provides. check his post in the for sale section. good luck
