george_seamons Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Or just live on a country hall estate where there is a pit in one of the outbuildings f**k all sketchy about my mechanics Mr Oliver! I may have a very low car, but I bought a super ultra mega low entry jack, that lifts from 70mm to 440mm in 8 strokes of the handle. Literally the best tool I have bought since owning a car! Wasn't cheap...but it's worth it's weight on gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Wheel chock fail. Just understood this reference! It's not a fail, my drive slopes down. Don't believe me? I once took our land rover out of gear when I was 6 ish when the car is was in the exact place mine is in the pic. The car sailed down the garden knocking over our metal shed at the bottom of the hill lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Dropped the Audi back at the bodyshop today, I dropped it off last week but they only had premix and I wanted it mixed and gunned. Both bumpers, stone chips on the bonnet and a small scuff on the rear arch. Which will hopefully all be gone by the end of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I installed 4 tyres and balanced the wheels all by myself today Can't say it was easy, especially getting the tyres on which had reinforced sidewalls. It looks so effortless when you watch others do it though. Really happy though, I've wanted to give this a try for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Car broke down Monday, turns out my fuel pump wasn't working. I wiggled it about today and it works again... Time to go over the wiring I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Just sat in the new Mini which is due out next year. I have to say I'm not normally a fan of Minis, but this one looked actually pretty decent. EDIT: It was this exact one, just had less tape stuff on it...

dann2707 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 That looks cray cray. Anyone know the size of the spline tool to remove my steering wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I spy too many doors They really have given up on actually making it a small car haven't they? Just agreed to co-drive for a friend next year, looking forward to it! First event will be Brean stages in late January. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boumsong Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Failed! Main beam tell-tale in the dash, brake pedal rubber, binding on nearside rear drum and offside headlight aim too high. Leisurely fix tomorrow, retest monday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
