I like Cordners in particular, and the peculiar Jack something shop close by.

What be this market? I may be free this Friday, just after payday

Jack Kiernans just down from the McDonalds Post Office

If you're around, it's the opposite side of St Marys church in the car park. If you know where the library/solstice or mercy is you'll see it from there.

Often have stalls with clothes, shoes, plants, tools, electronic stuff as well as fresh fruit and veg. We often get fruit and veg from the different stalls

I'd say you'd get a couple of hundred for it in considering its in such good condition.

Id like it at that price tbh.
Would look perfectly out of place with the fleet!

Haha I was only joking IRL earlier about buying a beetle and fitting a cummins engine in the engine bay and back seats :P

No this one would be a novelty value item.

Genuinely interested btw.

Yeah, my experience was I couldnt do it online and had to call them.
A bit pointless if you ask me, dont know why I can't just log in and change over the details!

Scratch the sh!t out of it and start again

Seriously though, you could start Gtechniq on the windows or paint.

CianRyan

What do you do to squeeze power out of BM's without going FI?

They have VANOS which is similar to Honda's VTEC system AFAIK. I doubt the likes of induction kits etc. would have much of an effect.

CianRyan

So controllers to open it earlier? A switch to solid lifters?
I know exhaust should usually be left alone, which is a disappointment.

Ded_Zebra

Did you replace the tyre with the bulge in it yet? :P

I'd recommend not putting paint on the windows, usually you need to see out of them :pac:


Lookin' well though baiiii!

I went to change the brake pads. So lifted and supported the car. Got the caliper off and in the process of removing the pad. The brake cylinder shot it's load. I had a spare caliper so used that.

Then when putting caliper back on I managed to ring the thread on a guide bolt. At this stage I just said fk it and start the other side. So in the middle of removing the wheel bolts I manage to fk up the lock nut (mcgaurd fkr). So fkd now fk'itty fkr fkk. Shíteeee buzzzzz. :mad:

I hate them locknuts. One of the first things I did when I got the focus was get rid of them just got normal nuts. Although the locknuts were dodgy on my car I think when the previous owner got tyres they put on the lock nuts with an air gun and that just ruins them. Still if you get a puncture lock nuts are not something you want to be messing with on the side of the trying to change the wheel.

Well my car's a little bit ill. A making a squeaking noise coming from the front of the engine bay. I think its a pulley, tensioner but which one...I just don't know.

Yes you need to call them, cancel the sub on that licence place, keep the account, then add the new car when you have it.

My car is misbehaving and squeaking on uneven roads, something is wrong in the front suspension

If you plan on keeping it you should look into polybushing it....

Has rear polybushes which is where they are most recommended.

This noise is a more deeper suspension problem, not steering rack but in between that and bushes.

I think anyways
