    Lads a friend is trying to get his 156 through nct failed on anti roll bar bushes and links and ball joints suspension wise emissions were only slightly high I'll get the result. The big fail floor pan failed on both sides due to corrosion. Would that be an expensive fix is it acceptable to cut out the rooting bits and weld in new pieces any ideas on cost for any of the above suspension and stuff for a mechanic to do.

    Got emissions HC ok lamda 0.95 and high idle co 1.87 above 0.3 fail would diptene sort this ?

    I was kind of thinking it would be a write off but was hoping it wouldn't be as bad as I think but it seems it is.

    Just flicking through donedeal at most recent cars that clocked accord that colm looked at is back up with 85k miles on it not sure if that's the correct mileage or not I can't remember but it was fairly high wasn't it.

    And drives perfect too. False service history showing a Belfast Honda dealer, despite being from mainland UK.

    It's scary how easy you could buy a clocked car and never realise it I know that one showed up on a car check but they don't all do.

    Nice vid SH. :)

    Why you eastern dudes listen to such sh1te music? I'm more of a rock dude myself but do appreciate a bit of trance / old school dance. Music on that ruins an otherwise great vid.

    Work with a dude from Lithuania, one of the nicest dudes I've ever met. His idea of good music is DJ Bobo FFS! :D

    It's some crack. Though Subaru is way too stable and digs in Lol. Still you can throw it around so easy and it has enough power to not abuse the red line hehe. Mx5 was a lot of fun too. Hard to believe it's juse 1.6

    I still have no clue where is the beach lol. I just followed him. Will need to getvproper directions this time. I am planing on visiting it more often lol.

    I carried all that stuff in my previous car (c5) and never used any of it ever in 4 yrs. so I didn't put any of it in this car, 3 yrs later and haven't need it yet. So my advice would be, put a torch in the glovebox and leave the rest in the shed

    Sure everyone has a torch on their phone!

    You know what I carry around in my cars? Absolutely nothing.

    The S4 doesn't even have a spare wheel in it since the scum who robbed the car helped themselves to it.

    The Merc probably does have a spare, I've never bothered checking though :pac:

    Love the noise off the MX5.

    Yeah I know what you mean about the subaru. In the snow mine was just grip grip grip understeer understeer ... oh f**k it's gone, difficult to get right on the point of a nice drift. For me anyway.Think I need some practice in the sand.... :-)

    Got two new V12 Evo 2's put on the front earlier, much happier with the noise levels now, the old ones were getting pretty bad. Unfortunately, I think I have an oil leak.

    It would be great if the likes of Donedeal would team up with motor check and pass all the cars posted on donedeal through motorcheck, thus getting rid of all the lemons..
