These 2 comments sum it up for me. way too much effort for a vauxhall. "clearly a complete tit with too much time on his hands. its an astra FFS!" "why not stick it in a cardboard box filled with cotton wool and push it round the streets wearing silk gloves as well?"

Good choice phil..maybe im slightly biased though :lol:

wow! thats some temper you've got there. did the drive back from dartford make you that ratty? he was only offering advice on what he believes is the law. Nice tints by the way, looked good 8)

Oh really :norty: 8) tell me more :lol:

Thats just answered my question...looks like new heater matrix time for me as well. :(

:shock: go and sit in the corner and think about what you've just said! I hope you did mean gone in 60 seconds.

You'll have no trouble, you should have seen how low some of the cars going to le mans last year were. As walesy says they see it as a challenge to get you on the ferry & are indeed very helpful.

ermmm...there...umm different! :roll:

holy thread resurrection batman! id agree with you though.

Couldnt have put it better myself, ive come to the point where my bottom end needs a rebuild and im thinking of going down exactly the same route, be interested to see how this works out.

top one definately

thats a bit quick, want one.......NOW! 8)

8) hows that for a sweet sounding audi!? :D looking forward to seeing how well that does this year & hearing it properly.

Very nice 8)

RAC, although i am slightly biased seeing as a friend of mine works for them driving the flat beds.

useful comments about a rover...................... nope sorry im stumped!

very nice 8) . where abouts in kent are you from? dont know if you've seen the topic already, but we have a meet once a month at the grasshopper in westerham, meet up around 2pm for drinks and usually bite to eat as well...Next meet is this sunday if your interested..

After spending most of the day trying to get the carrier bolts off of my rear brakes and pretty much rounding one of them, i admitted defeat and put everything back together again. Thats where the problems started the caliper on the rear drivers side was a bit tight to go back on over the pads (i may have swapped pads from the opposite side, nearside)even though it had been fully wound in. The handbrake only goes up maybe 2 clicks but when you release it the offside wheel is still jammed, have i got a seized caliper or does my handbrake just need adjusting? Assuming i did use one or both pads from the opposite side would this make a difference even though i did drain some fluid from the reservoir & press the pedal several times with ignition on. does that make any sense??

Excellent stuff, that'll make my butchering of certain stubborn screws alot easier. very funny, thanks for the tip.

Is it possible to remove the slam panel without taking the headlights out? the reason i be asking is that the screws down behind the lights are completely fubar'ed & rusted up. Know amount of lubrication, drilling, dremeling, explosive is gonna shift 'em whilst i cant get at them, so i need to get the panel off so i can attack them properly. As always any help much appreciated 8)
