  1. think of your baby girl; mate it aint worth it. 10 years ago i would have done it differently, but these days i've too much to loose. my job being one of the biggest and probably my wife. no job, means no car. no car means one very sad biscuit
  2. my analysis was just on watching the mpg etc
  3. are you stripping it for a part out
  4. i'd go for fuchs silkolene plus motul or royal purple (my personal favourite) opie will do the first 2, and the chilli red store can do the RP
  5. only used sainsburys once, never noticed any adverse affects, nice to know its BP stuff as thats always run well in my cars. but tesco is cheaper at the mo, so thats whats going in mine
  6. if you put magnatec in i'd want to do an oil change after about 1k. its just not up to the job.
  7. what happened at the left bolt and the oil filler, is that wrinkles, runs or a trick of the light. nice panda by the way
  8. anyone else noticed that tesco has changed the name of their 99 ron fuel to momentum 99?
  9. they do a premium as well but it does feel like some one pi$$ed in it to water it down
  10. also different additives are used depending on the company, its like the colonels special receipe for some of them although BP is only 97 ron i found that very good. tesco 99 is fine as well, never really used shell as it was always the most expensive near me. sainsbury 97 is ok, texaco is shocking felt very lumpy on that stuff.
  11. not paranoid, still need to find out how thick mine is.
  12. my 3g doesnt multitask or do folders since i updated nor can i change any backgrounds.
  13. is that aimed at me martin, if so its a honda S2000
  14. Is this just a branding exercise and it is a good polish generally or is it to be used only for swirls and not for a car with perfect paint finish? Is it too abrasive for normal use? Looking for something to use on the Zed for normal polishing as well. had it reccomended on other forums, i got it just for doing the swirls, i have lime and prime lite, for general use. but to be honest i don't polish that often. only do it maybe once a year. but as i have a new car; its been well cared for and cleaned regularly, but just not cleaned detail style. and becuase its black it just needs a once over. i also have their megs plastic x to fix the drivers headlight which has a slight misting to the top edge. when i do the clean i'll do a full detail and write it up for the forum. from what i gather the paint isn't as thin as on the nissan but i might be wrong.
  15. well done mark, nice move with the teins and the uprev
  16. megs swirl x its what i'm planning on attacking my car with at the weekend
  17. Chickerty check the master out!! If its LEDs then Husky is your man..............................I can't imagine what his house is like at Xmas!!!! Visible from space i don't need sat nav when i visit john, i just follow the glow, like a wise man following a star to find the baby jesus
  18. dangerous driving i'm guessing he'll be a high insurance risk, will be like having points on the license will have ot declare it for up to 5 years after the event. and the first 2-3 years will be the worst for insurance. might be worth trying some of the ones you find in the back of car mags specifically designed for people who had driving offenses etc.
  19. the designer for the laser cutter must be a technical genius, cant be easy to find people to do that kind of work
  20. personally you've not lost out financially on the repairs, so maybe worth letting that one slide. but i would go round and play innocent, tell him some scrot has keyed your car. you've just fitted camera's and if it happens again you'll hunt the fecker down and remove some limbs. hopefully he'll take the hint and leave alone. at the end of the day no proof means no action. if you're wrong you could make the whole family situation worse.
  21. royal purple was/ is my oil of choice, but lots on here swear by fuchs silolene pro S, which is soon to become something like Titan pro S or something. same oil new name only.
  22. i've just started training again last week, my workout seems some what mediocre in comparison now. my only and original response would be "**** that for a bag of laughs!!!"
  23. speak to Ekona, he came from the VX220 turbo to a roadster and he's been very happy. very competant car with good feedback, you'll enjoy it.
