Walesy

Looks like a really nice base, i'm sure it'l look stunning when dropped etc, and i'm a speedline/blue raddo fan anyways so i'm biased!

Mk 2 8v's are great fun in 1st and 2nd :D

I'll ask my missus when she gets home, she had this problem the other week..

Hard to tell, but from the brief description...about £2k?

lol....yeah, nearly enough to buy another raddo... :cheers:

Three grand for insurance??? :shock: Insurance must be cheaper where i live, cos all the taxi drivers round here drive like pr1cks! When you're 19, driving a 1.9 tdi with pulic liability for 4 passengers to the value of £1m each, you'd be suprised at how many insurers don't want to know at all..let alone for less than £3k!! :wink: .. So granted, i used to pay a bit more than most, but still...the insurance is high, so they won't want to claim...also, alot of the time taxi drivers are driving 'the boss's ' car and don't want to get into trouble so just sort it out thmselves. so you're actually getting younger then walesy? only 13 now...... can i have your C when you get too young to drive please? :) LOL..nah, 13 is my mental age :roll: , i'm 26. :wink: And as for raddos, I ain't got one at the min :( :cry:

It could also be your handle playing up...I also had that once, it started doing all kinds of strange things, sometimes it wouldn't open the fuel flap , or the boot , etc etc and it got worse and worse. When the handle got changed it was sorted. I think it may be something to do with the barell itself?

I used to pay over 3 grand a year for my insurance as a Taxi driver, the last thing you want is a claim.

With regards to going around cyclists i've always been wary too, they aren't the most stable of vehicles! I remember my driving instructor telling me that's it's always better to go over the line, than over the cyclist....a rule i've tried to stick by :wink: .

I dare say you had the boot/door lock in the wrong position to begin with and have now got it in the right position through messing around with it, I remember doing the same once. Glad it sorted! :cheers:

There's a stretch of the M5 that has chevrons painted on the road with big signs saying " Keep 2 chevrons apart " ... a good way of makeing people think about the way they're driveing I think.

...And a night on the p1ss :wink:

Like gradeAfailure says, the lock needs to be left in the right position for the C/L to work, failing that, maybe the vacume pipe has come off?

Ahhh go on, you'l be alright, just don't go anywhere the 'Ripspeed' section... It's basically double sided tape, but it's good stuff, I used it for my g60 badge and it didn't come off etc

Get exterior trim tape from hellfrauds....that should do it :wink:

Gotta be said, i'd much prefer one of those to a clio.

I'm not into these gearboxes, i've driven a ferrari 355 F1 with the paddle shifters , a 5 series beemer, and my mums schitty ford has it also and i've not found any of them any good. I'd rather a manual. However, the thought of the pisshat V6 Syncro is rather appealing.. :wink:

I don't think i've been at one set of lights that has 2 lanes since i've been down here :lol: ...in fact , apart from the A30 I don't think there are any roads with more than 1 lane...not much chance for raceing at the lights :wink:

Yeah , 16's would be better. It's hard to recommend wheels, as they are a personal preferance typa thing. I had rims that most people hated with a passion, but I liked, so it's difficult to say. I would always prefer to have something a bit un-usual rather than a set of BBS for example(( although I do love alot of BBS )) And I would always prefer to have 15's on aswell. I think your car looks lovely as it is..nice and standard (( with the obligitory drop ))

Keep your speedo's man, don't go down the boring old 17" 5 spoke route! Have you driven a raddo on 17's? Or at least get something with a dish :wink:

:lcop:

Awsome! I used to really dislike red valvers, and due to cars like this over time i've completely changed my mind to the point that i'd actually like to have a red'un. DON'T BLOODY SELL IT!!!

It's working perfectly for me?..how weird.

...then you must have been banned...? :?
