  2. They're some reason why you shouldn't use Jubliee clips on water pipes though... Buggered if I can remember now....

    roof strips

    Autoglym Bumper stuff (the kind that looks liek green snot).. Works well... But I guess any "Plastic black" stuff should work OK
  4. Best of luck Laura.. even paying slightly over the odds is better then not having it at all I guess?
  5. Nope they're German! had a quick poke round the site, looking at the pics as I don't Sprechen die Deutsch..... It seems like a "Club Frame" have a look at the Mk3 white Squareback which has a similar Orangutun enclosure in the back...

    Gonna watch this "Daily transport" thred with some amusement! I too started off this way finding a cheap local Pearl Ghay valver,,, and my first step was on here.... not been able to find a way up this slippery slope since! Bon Chance!
  7. Pinched from Whipsnade's Marmosette enclosure!
  8. Fronts don't normally sieze esp on daily driven cars.. As they do most of the work and aren't left on like the handbrake... Something else to consider is an internal breakdown in the flexy pipe.. they will sometimes go internally before you see an obvious bulge outside.. this means the fluid can't flow back and results in a sticky caliper... Only seen that once though...
  9. Cheers Rob... My problem is no hosepipe so the cars have to be rinsed down with buckets of water first so want something to help "Float" the dirt off the paint... and the Fabric roof of the Cabby too....
  10. Ok just finished my last bottle of Autoglym shampoo which seems not to be give too much foam towards the end of the bottle. Maybe just down to the fact that I'm using a Cotton mitt rather than a sponge now but it just seemd to lose all the foam in the bucket after 1/2 car! Any-one recommend a decent Hi-foam car shampoo for two bucket use?
  11. Unsurprising about the A53/54 both used as rat runs from the M6 and both run over the Peak District... On a good day lovely roads... until you come round a bend to find an Polish Artic in the middle of the road.... on a bad day... wet/cloudy/foggy/icy/snowy... Surprised the A537 (Cat & Fiddle) isn't on there either... Some of the highest A-roads in Britain...
  12. Looks like good news Don't think he's going to break it after all...YAY! As long as it's "finacially viable" Erm maybe not-Yay!
  13. Good luck to Scarlet... If the guy wanted a "Breaker" why didn't he get the one with leather from Scotland? Gutted if this does get broken... I would have taken it on but no-where to store it :( Maybe we should have done a "Donation" thred? Sure some-one here has space for a car whilst we found a "responsable" owner to take it on? If any-one's interested (and Local) been bought by a guy called Vondubz who has a 20vEaton Mk2... If you know him go round his house and pester him on Scarletts behalf! ;)
  14. And Tom's ability to go only where the Farm's tractors can go! :lol:
  15. All part of the masterplan so Nikki doesn't notice the engine transplant when you're "Servicing" it!....
  16. Have a chat with a local bodyshop they'll tell you the best stuff, and will probably stick it all back on for you if they're feeling generous!
  17. Come on then, which one is it?? Come on or we'll just start guessing..... I'll go with the Lada Riva Estate....
  18. Some truely horrific examples of "Modifying" here: chavtastic
  19. I'd say mild/reversable mods.. Lowering/ wheels etc... Stock height Rados look a bit silly IMHO...
  20. Now this could be amusing at some of the shows..... Bod1/ "What's going on over there?" Bod2/ "Oh it's ok its just the CF mob dressed as clowns chasing VWchick round the showground again" And remember Chick... "They Float Bobby they all Float" Edit: Pic removed :roll:
  21. Funny... I'm sure when I asked about VR's onto a Valver there was some reason why it wasn't a "Straightforwrd" job... Driveshafts/bearing sizes/ hub differences or sommat...
  22. Just Ronnie or Clowns in General? I know a girl who is Clown-phobic....
  23. What you mean made you laugh you were actually in it? :lol: Actually I can't talk been so long taht my battery's kaput! :oops: And won't be out for Mimms either as didn't have insurance cert to hand to go to DVLA with.. :grr:
  24. Nice! What does it look like made up? Does it also com in Pearl Ghay?
  25. Yup that's the puppy... It's rattle can Pearl Grey (can be sorted with some Satin Black) and from memory has the usual Plate surround issues (was mounted with Bath Mastic but some of mounts were ok IIRC). This is all from memory as I took it off almost as soon as I bought the car (guy before had a small 4-digit personal plate and Full length uk plate look cack) and bunged into the back of the folks garage.. where I think it still resides...unless the old man's chucked it.... As it's No use to me will offer it FOC to first person who replies to a f/sale thred I'll post.(just to keep thing fair)... So keep your beadies out Stan...
