Oh yeah, I know it's just the glycogen stores being used up at first, hence carrying it on for more than a week I did it before for a few weeks before LM last year, trouble was I started it too late really so only just hit my target weight and didn't have time to come back off it properly. My own fault then, but I have time on my side now to do it properly. I'm over the hunger stage now too, so was perfectly full and content after me tea last night.

I wouldn't expect a level sitting at midway to cause those issues, that's just odd or screams of crap design! Glad it's all sorted though fella

Can we add other health/weight related in here too? After being too busy at work to hit the gym (along with a general CBA attitude for it because it was cold and wintery time) along with eating like a pig over Xmas, along with the fact I've a wedding to attend in April and don't fancy being the chunky one at the end of the photo, I decided to get back on the diet and gym in a proper way. Slimming World food and gym 3x a week, nothing special. I then quickly realised that I wouldn't shift the weight quick enough that way, so I wolfed down my last MaccyDs and decided to go on a VLCD instead. For those that don't know, VLCD means eating 600cals-ish per day along with 2-3L of water. I'm using Exante for their bars (2x a day); Slim n Save for their water flavourings (can't stand plain water); and then either another bar in the evening for tea or 200g mixed onion and pepper along with 100g of wafer thin ham, which I fry in some light soy sauce and a large pinch of dried chillies. And that's it, every single day. Am now nearly at the end of week 2, I lost 11lb in week 1 which I'm pleased with. Not the easiest thing to stick with as you need masses of willpower, but it'll get me back on track then I can start eating sensibly again. Plus then when I'm skinny I can get back on the muscle building, which is the one thing I actually enjoy at the gym too

You really don't want to be using that. Trust me, the Sikaflex stuff is what you want, it's got more than enough adhesive power. I stuck my lexan window into the MR2 hardtop with that, and it did the job perfectly.

My typo, yes the 291i. Well you have to get something between the two surfaces first to separate them, then you use the solvent to dissolve. Think of it like debadging a car with some floss, only on a bigger scale. You cannot and should not use the red method you show there, as you won't have anywhere near the contact patch required to hold it down: That's for sealing, you want to bond.

Clear silicone will definitely have the sticking power once dry, but doesn't have the mould repellent that the 29i or other marine adhesive has.

I've used the 29i before, hence the recommendation for that one. EBT would be okay as well. No experience of CT1 to comment. Depends on what you mean as 'thinly'. You need a good even coverage, but there's no point in either slapping it on and watching it squeeze out everywhere only for you to wipe it all off, but nor is it a good idea to have it so thin that you have poor contact between ally and glass.

Fine on both, but you just need to be a bit more careful upon removal if it's on paint. No sharp knives etc.

It takes effort and a good solvent and a lot of time, but doable. Not an easy job by any means though.

I wouldn't use any tape to bond anything there at all, it just doesn't have anywhere near the required strength. I assume you're attaching some louvres to the rear glass? Just use TigerSeal, or even better Sikaflex 29i instead. You really, really don't want that flying off at speed.

F*** YEAH :yahoo:

I'd be all over that if it came back in fashion. +1 I'd love to have my old orange/yellow/purple t-shirt back again. That was effin' awesome.

I was never cool enough for Spliffy stuff

Fluorescent laces were the rage when I were a lad

Football shirts are like skateboarding: Only okay if you're under 15.

I'm going to send you one now. PM me your address. Or if anyone else has it, PM me Col's address

Car forums are indeed full of people who want light cars that handle well with a good amount of power and a good manual gearbox. Sadly these people are not going out and buying cars like that in any great numbers, and the folks who want something with great 0-60 times for willy-waving down the pub along with a premium badge are on the increase. That's life.

Then buy a proper warm hat, not a chavvy one. Pfft, philistine.

Chav

I guess the previous owner must've removed it. That's pretty harsh then, you have my sympathies.

Should've sat in the car, let him start it, pretend to get really excited then just p*ss yourself all over the seats.

Oof, good shout. Or belts that are miles too long and then not tucked in.

The theory is sound, but how much voltage stabilising do you think you need? Modern batteries are superb, no need for any of this rubbish that just adds one more thing to go wrong.

Bloody useless. You'll never get a sale like that, unless someone's a mug. No local VW main dealers? Should be more helpful.

Snake oil. If you're not having electrical problems, then don't introduce an unknown magic box that could cause them.
