Haz Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Don't you live in crowthorne too? Haha Dan, reckon he'll be asking for sexual favours in return? Yeah, next to the train station. Now I think of it I remember you asking this before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm kinda hoping he is! Be better than my current sexual affairs. Just kidding my dad's actually really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Went to ECP to collect a service kit for the 924 and exhaust rubbers for the Astra (but they only had 3 in stock of the 6 I needed ). I got the rubbers fitted to the Astra anyway and it has made a big difference! I have ordered 3 more so hopefully that'll solve another issue. I keep putting off ordering the timing belt, I should probably get that done next weekend as I haven't a clue when it was last done, it's a potential ticking financial time bomb...

Bollocks, just remembered I've got this idle valve in sat in the garrage waiting for me to remember to post it to you! PM me your address and I'll send it over if you still want it.) (P.P.S.

Danny Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Single skin brick double garage, zero insulation, no side door, rented house so cant do much. Best way to keep warm in winter? Gas/electric/hallogen/etc? I thought about lining the whole thing with 25mm kingspan (which would have the added bonus of stopping brick dust on my cars but cost a few hundred) but would it really make much of any difference? Having no side door is a massive pain as going in/out empties any heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah man I didn't know you were going - I go every month, so look out for the gang of MX's and you'll see me there No worries about the valve, I do still need it though so whenever you get a minute. I'll PM my address in a bit, gotta do some work first. Yep no probs, tag away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Soon need some new tyres for the front of my LC. Currently got Bridgestone Potenza S001's. Was looking at getting the same again or Continental Sport Contact 5's. Any suggestions? 225/45/R17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm a fan of all 4 tyres being the same (no matter if they are crap or good), at least handling is then balanced / matched and you can swap wheels around or just buy one tyre if you need, but everyone is different! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 That's what I would do / have done in the past, at least you'll have all 4 dead at the same time then Should you choose to do any handling mods in future you will then be in a better position to judge their effectiveness too (with 4 tyres all the same). As my wheels are staggared it's hard for my to get 4 matching even more so when I drop from 17's to 16's Hmm, haven't ever considered that, that sucks! Won't any BMW tyres fit / be close?

I currently run 215/40/17 F and 235/35/17 R and have khumo KU39's all round so BMW tyres aren't needed when I drop to 16's it'll be 205/45/16 and 225/45/16 so tyre choice is more limited.

SamKidney Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Insurance company wants £250 for the swap over to the Fiesta. Had a proper chance to look at it today before making the final call. Glad I'm not now.. for a Fiesta its solid but the drive is awful and the engine burns oil like its going out of fashion. Just forked out nearly £140 for 4 rear track/control arms for the Micra. Less money, more time consuming but it'll run for years yet unlike the smokey ford which is bound to drop a valve any time with it burning that much oil.

LiamWood! Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 It's an RPC stage 2. I doubt they would warranty it to be honest, I will see if I can dig out the receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
