Probably talked about this before, but transit wheels are so bad for rusting. Painted them on an 08 double wheel bus on last summer, looked at them today and the rust is through again.

The difference euroliners make is something else, see the difference in these pics.

Noticed you can pick up the set handy enough. Costly though. Theres 2 more transits with specs of rust on the wheels, (similar age) but not as bad as the one I painted above. If you've a few to do the cost soon adds up.

Did you try any of the rust treatments on something similar to hamerite or like a pre coat of a treatment to prevent the rust showing again.

Aye, put some of that kurust stuff on. Didn't appear to do an awful lot though.

You sound shocking like a poster of the past... Have you a fondness for D-Turbos and champion rooting?

What ape decided that July the 2nd was a good date for the protest?

What you want is a Friday. Arrive around two and block the streets up. Makes rush hour a lot more painful and as a direct result you get more publicity. The luas works actually help aid this.
The farmers are excellent at it when they arrive into the city centre with their tractors. Likewise the taxi men. Dublin comes to a complete halt.

Having it on a Saturday means a few people get inconvenienced when trying to do some shopping.

I'm arranging the demonstration. (Thanks for the ape reference, very nice). We deliberately chose a time that would cause less disruption, why should people trying to go to work, or get to the airport have to suffer? Also on a Saturday, more people are able to join the demonstration. The luas workers are a prime example on how not to gain public support so we won't be following their example.

Father went into hospital this evening for something minor, in collecting a few bits for him for his stay and as I leave someone reverses straight into the side of the e39

It never rains but it pours!

Ah man it was so clean, it's not big damage but it's also the hassle of the guards being called and now the insurers making up their minds too!

Anyone have a ballpark timeline on how long it takes to settle this kind of thing?

Big Nasty

Hope your Dad is ok dude.

In the bigger picture the damage to the '39 is irrelevant.

Hour your old fella is ok, don't worry about the car. It's annoying but it's fixable. Sh1tty and annoying but in the scheme is things can be sorted.

Could be a month iirc.
Insurance will send out forms, mark in where vehicles made contact, areas damaged. AGS will be contacted by insurers.

Anyone use the halfords touch up pens what is the colour match like with them ? I might ring the main dealer and see whether they car order them. Just a few marks that need to be touched up on the front bumper I know it will be far from perfect but it will take the rough look of it.

I've used them twice. Got them to mix the colour for me and it was spot on! interesting process to watch actually, fascinating the colours that go into grey and other "plain" colours.

Thanks Autosport, thanks everyone in general, ye are a great bunch

The touch up pens are just bought of the shelf I don't think they mix them up. 16 quid sure if the Renault one is around that I'll go with that as it will surly be the best match.
