    Yeah definitely, I'm a sucker for quirky cars like that I guess. The Avantime was another cool recent enough renault.

    On another note, does anyone fancy some carbon fibre vinyl wrap?

    Have a big roll of it here and I'm 99% sure ill never be using it again. Think the size I bought was 150cmX200cm and I've only used about a fifth of it, if even.

    In other news I got 160miles for €50 petrol in the 325 which is only about €6 more than the Astra and that included lots of tunnel runs too! :D

    Well it was more a question of giving it away really. But if you want to give me anything for it a tenner will do to cover petrol or whatever if I meet you somewhere to give it. I'll unroll it and see how much is left first if you want. :)

    I don't recall any locking mechanism on mine. I got a little spanner to hold the shaft while spinning off the backing plate.

    if you take off the black piece there is a button to lock the rotating part like a normal grinder.
    i did get the plate off in the end but it was ridiculously tight and the backing pad got warped a little because i had to put so much force against it

    Nope, I haven't. I worked in an engineering fabrication job for almost 2years so I know grinders etc! :)
    I didn't even tighten the plate when I put it on first, hand tight only.
    My dad and his apprentice said it was broken too :p
