I got it done already from a reputable place in Cork, my good friends Dad owns it, he told me it'd be about 100 to spray them and 120/30 inc fitting, so I said grand can he weld the bracket back onto the exhaust and now he came back today saying its all done and its €250

I saw a Rolls Royce Wraith today for the first time. While still a huge motor, it's the first one of he current crop of RRs that I thought didn't look like it was extracted from a Thunderbirds still. Thankfully it had been spec'd up as black/black meaning that it didn't have all the silver bonnet and roof that you see on others. Also no spirit of ecstasy. Not sure I could justify £235k all the same....
Was watching a touch of cloth. Best police car evar

Without resorting to using my Mirouku with Alphamax number 4's, what's the best way of keeping pigeons off my car?
The feckers love waddling over the roof, then using the rear windscreen as a slide. Yes, a fun slide :mad: I've even put a decoy pigeon in a nearby decoy car but nope, still go for the Merc.... I wouldn't mind but they must land in muck first, claw prints all over the roof!!!!
I have nowhere else to park the car either due to.... Lack of room :rolleyes:
Didn't slide down my rear window today you fat grain eating sod
Waddling feckers :mad::mad::mad:0 -

With poop? Funnily they don't defecate on the car, they just like to strut about, twiddle round in circles then slide down the window like it were a slide.... A truly bizarre lot round here166 V6 timing belt. An involved process but not overly difficult.
Until you find that one of the guide roller bolts is completely rounded.
Whoever did this I want to find them and kick the sh*te out of them. There is no excuse to sheer sloppiness with such an important part of the engine and the room available (strangely).
Now I have to waste my f*cking time trying to remove this very tight bolt
I never showed you's the bolt
You can see there is naff all room to play with. Tried a few bits and bobs. Gave up, tried again this evening
Much better
hipster ales all round :cool:
Very convenient I have multiple bolts to replace this one with. At least I can continue on with my belt fitting tomorrow, after I replace the water pump0 -

It just fitted in nicely, the biggest one in the set was all that would fit. Getting it to bite was fairly tedious as it's hard to judge if it's on the bolt right with the power steering pipes in the way and the cobbered edges of the bolt, but once it gripped it just screwed on and got tighter till it eventually began to loosen the bolt.
I thought I was going to have to buy the expansion set, I only got 5 extractors!0 -

i should get it going again
I remember asking you this before, but is there anything major that's wrong with it to get it up again? Did you say something about plugs before?0 -

Nope! It needs, a coil pack, wiper motor, new timing belt/waterpump, an aux belt and a general service and it's be as good as new 0 -

That car definitely owes you nothing with the amount of mileage you put up on it in a short space of time. Never seemed to cause any real trouble either iirc.0 -
