3.Keep it clean.

59.2 Litres of Petrol, and 0.5 Litres of 2-Stroke Oil, into my car.

The nominal tank capacity is something like about 60 Litres.

There might've been dregs in the bottom.... maybe a few kilometres worth. But it didn't want to start when cold. And roared to life when hot and gorged on Applegreen's finest. The opposite of normal for one of these....

Someone drove the car while I was at work - with the fuel light on - and decided they weren't going to bother refuelling it afterwards.

Oh yes you were saying. Hope you make a speedy recovery. Do you mind me asking what you got done?

Hernia repair. I read here and there it's simple thing to do, and I'd say it's indeed simple and easy for doctors alright.

Not for me though.

My dad had that done 2 years ago. Your taking the right attitude towards it anyway take it handy for a few weeks that's what he had to do.

Had one myself a few years ago. I remember voting in the general election on the way home from the hospital. But wasn't capable of much more than that.

Well **** it. I could not get in a conviniant way fascia of 1 din unit as with petrol and hassle included it was working out same price as 2 din units. So I just ordered one from amazon.

I got a KW JVC in mine, I like it but just remember to turn off Demo mode as soon as its up and running, also you may need to order an wiring harness adapter as each car have different connections and its best not to hack up your original cables.

Dont forget to inform your insurance company your car is now modified:pac:

I stuck a nav in the vrs and said I'd mention it as they were way to handy to rob. They asked how much it cost and then called back to say that's cheaper than the radio that was in it to replace from sofa so they'd probably pay for another off fleabay:pac:

They're now gone mind.

Leave as is. Dirt will get thicker after a while and fall off itself.

I dunno, dirt will make the block that little bit stronger!

Seen an ad there during the week ad was for a octavia 1.9tdi. The ad said "super reliable 1.9tdi bxe engine" not sure if that's suppose to be ironic or what. Ah sure mine is running perfect at the minute can't really worry about what might happen. Was looking at buying a car during the last few weeks and just gave up on the idea. Everything seems to be clocked or the next biggest problem was oh I just took that in on a trade in or I'm selling it for a friend so the logbook is not in my name that was the case with 4 cars. So I came to the conclusion to just keep my own even though a car would suit better.

Sticky foam pads from halfrauds. Thought it was out on the road somewhere and got home to find it in my parking space. Its a tiny bit marked but ok.

Its grand yet. I've dealt with far worse on mine. Handy thing with leaving a black car to get filthy is that it makes the dirt easier to see when washing it off

Weren't we talking'bout that approx 3 weeks ago here?

Maybe try to source genuine 3M gel tape if you insist on screwless and surroundless look.

Thats why I screwed mine on and used white caps to cover the screws. I just don't trust sticky tape etc:P

Go for 3M or Unibond tape. B&Q usually stock both.
