  1. if its only a very shallow dent try pushing it up with the palm of your hand, it may just pop back out
  2. couldnt this actually be detrimental to performance as the more swiss cheese like the airbox gets, the more hot air from under the bonnet gets sucked in, and as hotter air = less power wouldnt you be better of just removing the trumpet from the front of the air box (which can be repalced and wont damage the air box) and then run a cold air feed to it from outside
  3. be carefull blowing air out of the jet though as if the jet is blocked it is possible to blow the little metal bead out of its holder,(depends on how much pressure you use) also try unblocking the jet with a fine pin and then blowing air through it the opposite way. i found a syringe from a ink refill kit worked very well
  4. depends whether you mean the relationship with your mrs or the rado :lol:
  5. if the c has been sitting for that length of time it may be worth getting the charger looked at if it hasnt allready, as the seals may have hardened or cracked nice little collection you have there
  6. what are you looking for in a car? maybe if you say what you want out of a new car people can come up with some suggestions as there seems to be plenty of people on here with experience of different cars
  7. sounds like you need new brushes on the motor (hotpoint washing machine motor brushes seem to do the trick)
  8. i think they come out behind the bumper at the sides, i used an electricians pull wire to clear the channels out and an air line to make sure they where completely clear
  9. http://www.shopcreator.com/mall/product ... &did=32498 £86.94 in kit form with pre cut holes or £106.94 ready carpeted with pre cut holes
  10. last summer driving through a local village, windows open shades on metalica blaring and a car on the opposite side of the road drives though a fresh cow sh!t which splatters all over the side of my freshly polished rado and in through the open window all over me
  11. you could get a decent g60 and still have plenty left over to get the charger re-built (which should be done as a matter of course ) and any other niggly bits that might need doing
  12. try going to a lorry parts supply place, they sell valve extenders that you just use when you need to inflate them
  13. i see loads of people driving around without taking the pink plastic film off their new plates but anything much darker and you will end up getting pulled every other day a bit off topic but i thought this was quite a cool plate for a g60 8) http://www.premierplates.co.uk/registra ... rch/G14DER
  14. i tried the parking in the middle of two spaces trick and came back to two honda goldwings parked either side of me :wink: :roll:
  15. and why does it seem like the two cars next to it have left a respectfull gap? whenever i park mine anywhere i come back to find a people carrier and a hummer parked either side of me with a gap the width of a gnat's pubic hair :mad:
  16. well only a few weeks after someone crashed ito the back of my rado its happened again on thusday morning but in my caddy and a bit worse, i was on the m6 sitting in a queue of traffic for j21a and looked in my mirror only to see a merc hurtling towards me, it was one of those slow motion moments and there was one hell of a bang when she hit me and the back of my van jumped up in the air, its even bent the exhaust on the van and the rear lower chassis bar on the van is now digging into the spare wheel so im not sure if it can be repaired, but it seems to have faired better than the merc :wink: i now have a nice seatbelt burn across my chest and have had to cancel a lot of fits especially as half the trackers in the back of the van have to be sent back to be checked incase they are damaged i wonder if it was because i had the old knackered bumper off the rado in the back of the van :roll: oh and thats the 4th woman in a row who has driven ito the back of me while i have been stationary so draw your own conclusions :wink:
  17. connect the pump to the bleed nipple and block the input hole
  18. as far as i know the only reason the headlining sags is when you use a cleaner that attacks the glue that bonds the cloth to the foam and fibre board that forms the shape of the headlining so avoid any spirit based cleaning products will try that 1001 stuff on mine tonight as my mum just bought some
  19. isnt there a mark on the flywheel that should line up with the mark on the bottom pulley? that should show if the woodruf key has gone and slipped
  20. yep i didnt notice it at first, the wax comes off the wheel in a fine mist when it heats up and starts to sting after a while if it gets in your eyes
  21. holy crap :shock: it says on their site they are are a similar price to the alloy ones lying b**turds what size are the original rims then, or are the sizes quoted the sizes above standard ? are the image ones any stronger than the original bbs jobbies then ?
  22. just gotta be carefull when buffing as things do tend to start flying across the garage if they snag on the buffing wheel and definately wear goggles as the wax hurts when you get it in your eyes
  23. £9.99 for the bench grinder about 4 years ago in a sale in B&Q and £14 for the buffing kit from machine mart or if you have a decent drill http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.as ... 2109&g=115 or for a grinder http://www.machinemart.co.uk/ranges.asp?g=106&r=2040
  24. yep usually a coarse and fine pad i just bought a conversion kit for my bench grinder from machine mart which comes with a coarse and fine 8" pad and coarse and fine polishing wax
  25. get yourself a cheap bench mounted buffer and some buffing wax bars it will make the job so much easier and you should be able to get a mirror finish
