    Yep fixed there now :) I find the night breakers great some say they don't last but I've found them good enough to last but obviously not as good as normal bulbs. I was thinking of getting the. For the heads but not sure if there is any need.

    I run nightbreakers all the time and never have trouble with short lifespan or anything. Think they are a great bulb.
    I run fogbreakers in the heads for that nice yellow glow that silly people like.

    Don't think I have had night breakers before. Used to know a lad and he was forever replacing them though, must have gone through 17 sets!

    T'was a Golf diesels though so maybe they were giving false readings :D

    Got 4 new tyres today (Hankooks). Guy who fitted them said there's a small oil leak - so that's my next thing to look at!

    I am still yet to experience what it is like to drive away with all 4 brand new tyres fitted. Great feeling... from what I've heard. :)

    Definitely. That's why I haven't gotten all 4 new tyres yet. :D

    They would cost around the same if not more than what I paid for the whole car. :pac:

    Sure my car was free! Still, tyres needed replacing and since there's no ABS in the car I'm happy (well, I'd prefer) to fork out for new ones.

    The rust is gone, as you can see, but the paint job was rushed and therefore ended up kinda crap. Then again it was a €2.99 can from a discount store which obviously wasn't the same shade of gold as the rest of the car, but I just didn't want to take a rusty Punto to Mondello. It's bad enough as it is. :P

    If you'll excuse me, I'm going to swap the front tyres with the ones on the back. :)

    My mate brought me to Mondello in a 1JZ S14. Drove it on his own for laps. I hopped in and he crashed it after half a lap :pac:

    More interested in a passenger ride in the Punto :pac::pac::pac:

    Ah it was only the rear arch that caved in, don't worry.

    He used a ratchet strap, connected it from the van to the arch and ratcheted until it popped back out :pac:

    EDIT: claw hook ratchet strap, if that makes sense

    The car was actually being pulled by the straps so he had to put wheels between the van and car :D

    Ah listen, I used to do banger racing. Some of the carry on in the pits would make your toes curl. Sledgehammers and consaws may have been involved!:D
