I better buy an industrial size tube of KY jelly on me way home so. I have to laugh about this or else I will cry
:D:(:D
Don't sweat it - should be fine.
Hopefully the fault is just minor too!

Do ya think I should ring the AA and note this with them though just incase they did do any damage.....
I'm only repeating stuff I've read online in the past TBH. Give ND a ring when the car lands and ask his advice. 0 -

I am afraid to ask what that is after my google search 0 -
well i didnt think it would happen today, but it did! we got the astra lowered and spark plugs changed in 3 hours, it wouldve been 2 if we had all the right tools so we had to improvise. its a much easier job than i ever would have thought, even coilovers would have been easier!
i would be 100% confident of doing it myself now which i never would have got if i had just handed it in somewhere to be done
before:
after:
she still has to settle in, at the front especially
the old spark plugs were in sh!it, havent been changed in years. the new ones, dare i say, seem to have fixed my hesitation in acceleration that i was experiencing.
the car revs much better and pulls much better and i fecked the car around the roundabout by my house and i had a all the way round, handled fantastically i would recommend it to MM and CM to get theirs fitted asap!
on a separate note, i took a quick spin in my buddies e36 320i and i loved it, interior is really nice, didnt think their centre console was so nice.0 -
Great job Steve, the car looks brilliant! Now all you have to do is hold on to it
Trust me, I'll fit mine as soon as I get them. According to the guys in DC Peformance, they are on the way but I'm getting very impatient :mad:
By the way, nice house 0 -

Replaced the new LED indicator bulb with the standard to sort out the irratic flashing - stupid sensitive electrics. :rolleyes:
Topped up the fuel. Was reading bang on 3/4 of a tank but still took €40 to fill.
Neither of the above particularly interesting, but was I was chuffed with was the 31.69MPG that she's averaged over the last week - best result between fills since I started logging all the fuel fills & consumption back in September :cool: Not bad for an unrefined 3.2 dragging around a 2 tonne vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick 0 -

Thanks!
i sprayed mine, with a satin paint from B and Q. Took about four cans to do it and all the pillars. i bloody love it. Out in the sun it looked a bit patchy but in the car it looks perfect.0
