nice weather today?

Yep, clock is on the head unit in mine.

I got my car from Jurgen at JM-Imports - it wasn't so much the fact that you can get a cheaper car because in reality they are not that much cheaper to buy - the reason I imported was because I could get exactly what I wanted colour wise etc with extremely low mileage - there are simply more cars to choose from in Japan. I had no problems at all with the process and my car was immaculate. feel free to pm me if you have any queries. www.jm-imports.co.uk

I once got approached by a man in Argos carpark - he has just bought a power tool! the babyseat and family estate car were a bit of a give away though!

That's made me laugh this morning. Not funny for you I know...........

That looks bloody amazing! I might even buy the game myself now! Well done you! I must have missed the original thread about the competition - what did you have to do?

that is crazy! Whatever happened to Freedom of speech!

ah ok.........

get a cat?

i'm out when the postie comes so hopefully my neighbours will sign for it! Hope it works - I'm very grateful!

A guy on another forum from wheelrepairit.com reckons an agricultural alen key will fit. Just so happens that I know a tractor mechanic.........

cheaper doesn't always mean inferior - you can pay a lot for a name in many cases.

god I hope so (she says sat here at work at stupid o clock)! You have PM.

Thanks but we were meaning the clock within the trip computer not in the head unit.

I know he's my son and all that but I am not sitting in that chaved up piece of junk pretending I have got a puncture! He has break down cover so if he pumps it with air and goes up the road a mile he could ring them and see what they can do.

i found this site which sells 'Dare' wheels which are the same make. They do an internal wheel nut removal tool but there is no picture. If you scroll down to the nuts and bolts you will see the details. Does anyone think that is the tool? http://www.unit-8.co.uk/acatalog/DC2_Wheels.html

You must be joking - I am too soft! In fact as I am sat here doing this he has just shouted through the door "how long will tea be?" I've been at work today he hasn't! Oh well!

If anyone can help with sourcing parts, here's a list of what he says he needs all for a YZF R6 Red and White 1999 model and design Front nose cone including headlights R/h up fairing panel R/h engine cover possibly rear fairing behind seat but may be resprayable also R/H lower fairing but may also be re-sprayable. indicators clutch and brake levers Cheers guys

what's one of those? we're talking the blind leading the blind here I'm afraid!

here you go.

sorry? What you mean?

Right I've had a look. They are NOT locking wheel nuts but very strange nuts that a normal wheel brace won't fit on. They are hollow with groves on the inner edge. I've taken a pic and will post it in a min when I've hosted it on photobucket.

yep, posting again on behalf of my flippin' son! Puncture on Astra and he's lost the 'tool' that gets his aftermarket alloys off. He says it's not a locking wheel nut it's some sort of tool. I haven't got a clue what he's talking about but as he's lost it how can he get the wheel off? Phoned our local tyre firm and they were no use at all - just said "we need the tool". I should just leave him to it but as you can guess I am going to become his work taxi until he sorts it out. I am already having to drop him off at work for 7am tomorrow as he's on an early shift at the prison! I'll be at my job for 7.30!

Ah thanks for that - I thought I was going mad! I never had a clock on my type R so it's not that uncommon as they are sometimes just in the head unit. If you then change the head unit to one with no clock you're stuffed! I have got a clock in the head unit but I just wanted to know why I was different!

One side of the bike looks immaculate and the other side has deep scrapes and scuffs on every single panel, one headlight, one indicator, and oil is leaking out but it still goes ok. I don't know what else is damaged as that's just me looking at it. Luckily summer's nearly over and we've moving to a house with a garage so it can be his winter project but typically he wants it sorted immediately and doesn't have the money!
