haydon_peter Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 New tyres and tracking would be top of my list right now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah, funnily enough I won't be buying Jardo's car. That would be almost as gay as this dudehttp://youtu.be/7ZobqUJvb9A I will, however, be buying new shoes for the Leon today, just waiting on confirmation from the seller. Tracking hopefully being done tomorrow assuming all goes ahead Edit; All sorted, just need to arrange collection (hopefully this evening) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Cannot f**king wait. Say nothing, no pics. Fit them, then post them. And await people telling you they are fakes, when you are the one in a million who has real ones. Which makes you better than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Unbelievably immense wheels, I can't wait to see them fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Through stalking yesterday I may know what these are... If this is through Facebook images of Jardo looking at BBS setups and looking to shift his, you may or may not be correct you are the one in a million who has real ones. Which makes you better than them. At least buy me a drink before you start hitting on me like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I've got these on their way to me from a friend. Just got to wait for her to refurbish her Porsche Miglia Clubsport 2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Probably not then,think they've just been mentioned on this page . I love LM's, just a shame they've been done to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah I managed to get some on my head, took a week to come off. Get the 'starter pack' with the other two jobbers in it (marine clean and something prep, I think), and if you need more paint get the tiny pots - once opened they go off pretty quick and the lids have a habit of sticking themselves down (even if you use plastic as a 'seal' like they recommend). It's tough stuff though - I painted a coat on my trailer straight onto some rust, no preparation or anything (other than a quick wire brush), then attacked it with a screwdriver and it stayed put! Ive got the starter set and had a play. The Marine Clean is pretty much just degreaser so not much to note there. The Metal Ready is supposed to etch the surface if you keep it 'wet' with it but i found it didn't do anything on the relatively rust free surface i tried. Although i find it a bit weird that you rinse it off with water. The paint covers and flows nicely (but smells funny) although it seemed to repel from a few spots on my test piece. I'm guessing either water or left over metal ready left on the surface so will take more care next time. Ive not looked at it dry yet (painted late last night) so will let you know how the turned out. Hammerite seems to have got worse recently. You used to have to recoat it within X hours or it reacted but now you can recoat whenever so i guess they changed the formula, probably due to new paint regulations. The new stuff goes on like piss and comes off easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 3.5 ton gross weights the max on your licence, size doesn't matter, just the weight. I'mpretty sure you canget LWB's under 3500kg, but not all will be. Ah excellent, a few people have said 3.5 and a few said 7.5 - I think 3.5 is enough anyway They are huge, probably big enough to move house in one load Funny you should say that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 any electrics tech can help me at all? basically I replaced my headlamps a while back as one side was cracked, picked up a pair of cheap but in good nick and everything was fine until I tried using the Main beam. old lamp + existing old loom = all working new lamp + new loom = 1 side main beam not working new lamp + old loom that was on car = 1 side main beam not working checked the obvious and changed the bulb, I may have been unlucky and got another busted bulb whilst swapping everything over... haven't got round to changing that yet. checked all the fuses they seem ok, is there anything else I should be looking at that I've missed out on?

CurtisRider Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Get a multimeter on it and check for corroded connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Change the bulb first, that's the obvious one. Chances of 2 looms being dodgy causing the same problem is pretty slim. Slimmer than a bulb blowing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) They have been done to death, agreed. My old A3 looks immense on my old A3. Seamons didn't look bad. Edited April 3, 2013 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ive got the starter set and had a play. The Marine Clean is pretty much just degreaser so not much to note there.Yeah, but it's non solvent based as far as I know, which is the difference. Did you use it? Mine didn't 'repel' anywhere strangely, went on really evenly! Ah excellent, a few people have said 3.5 and a few said 7.5 - I think 3.5 is enough anyway Funny you should say that It's definitely not 7.5t, you need another test for that.Haha, that's what I thought Check the carrying capacity of the vans too - for example the huge Crafter is 2.2t by itself so you can only carry 1.3...

haydon_peter Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Pretty much exactly 1 year since I picked up the Cupra that is now in the scrap yard. My insurance policy was going to auto renew on Sunday so I phoned them on Friday and asked about transferring vehicles etc... Last year my insurance was about £530, this year INCLUDING the non-fault crash/write off it was going to be £493 (They gave me this quote including 8 years protected no claims and before they had actually written my car off as a Cat B ). After a quick discussion I found out that if I want to insure a 2004 225bhp LCR it will currently cost me around £495 Still no replacement car found though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Man the f**k up and go buy the first one you can afford. X Epic news on the insurance though, very pleased for you. Edited April 3, 2013 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be OK, we don't have loads of stuff (I almost said tons, then realised it was pretty bad). Only big items are one sofa, double bed and some drawers and units. I'm hoping we can get a place with fridge etc already in, really can't be bothered to lug washing machines down and up stairs again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
