gaz the geezer

i`m sure he`ll be able to sort it for you fella, he seems quite clued up :thumbleft:

your not stupid fella, you probaly need to get the wheels alignment checked ( 4 wheel preferably) and make sure the toe in / toe out are ok and the camber and castor angles are ok

i`ve heard of them but couldnt vouch for them as i`ve never knowingly had them on a vehicle i own, sorry mate

looks like i slightly mis read your post PBSTORM, i`d say get your geometry checked over ....... asap fella :oops:

tyres can make a hell of a difference, i swopped some continental sport contact jobbies for pirelli p6000 and that transformed the ride completely for the better on my bora, sometimes i have noticed that it takes a little while for the tyre to `bed` in and slightly wear the squareness off the shoulder on the front tyres if that makes any sense :thumbleft:

it has gotten worse since i was a lad in the 70`s / 80`s, seems like violence is just another part of our `culture` more`s the pity :cry:

............. i was thinking of a dehum for the garage and i thought it was maybe a step too far, i`m glad it`s not just me then :lol:

i wouldnt do it will, standard cr is 10:1 on the vr, if you turbo the engine you will probaly have to lower the cr, it may well be a good idea to pm kev haywire and sound him out, he knows the score

nice one, i`ve always fancied being in the crowd 8)

:lol: never mind timg60, , i`m sure that Timo. will be ok though, .......... just out of interest, have you seen those new wheel/tyre packages at south coast wheels :lol: ......... only joking fella :lol:

you can check to see if the stickers are still in the boot loading area, usually stuck to the inside of the rear most panel, that can be a give away if they are missing ( on the odd occaision someone may have just removed them ), if the panel has been replaced then you will spot it straight away, it`s hard to replicate the factory finishing and harder still to make it look over 10 years old, HPI checks are going to cost, access to HPI checking isn`t for free unfortunately, maybe you could get the info from an insurance company ( why not your own insurers saying you are considering swopping cars )???? surely they would have the car flagged if it was a problem, might be worth a try or a totally useless piece of info

nice one peteoates2002, thanks for the info and putting yourself out mate

......... expensive panic over then 8)

i had eibach springs all round and had the same effect, i personally dont know of any kits that give a more even ride height but i`m sure someone soon will, i just ditched mine for a set of coilovers :thumbleft:

............ i can see the arguments about the kerbed alloys already :lol: ........only kidding mate, i`m sure everything will be ok :reindeer:

looking good mr Stone0311, the only trouble is knowing where to stop, i`ve got so carried away that i`ve had to try and find another c to drive about in whilst my vr is under going a bit of tlc :-P

might be a wise move fella, i`ll expect to have a newbie describing the " problems he`s having with his new c and could it be the charger " in the very near future :lol:

got the same crap attitude at mercedes too, i couldnt get the salesman to sell me a new van !!!!!!, because i wasnt dhl or a large concern he couldnt be bothered to do a fair deal with me, the service department wanted to charge £13 :shock: to change stop/side bulb whilst it was IN for a service, can you believe it ... excellent vehicles marred by anger inducing muppetry / arogance .... i do all the service / repairs my self these days

........... might be an idea to have more of a look around, i`d definately would want to keep £500 back for the enivitable rebuild on the charger, might not need it now but it will sooner rather than later tbh, the charger history is a bit vauge, i`d take it as a warning :rabiit:

the mind boggles :shock: ..... as if your current creation wasnt special enough 8)

looks nice, love the colour, better luck with this one fella :thumbleft: i`m tempted myself :norty: ..... but i wont tho

never mind fella, :offtopic1: i see you`ve sold your C, i was interested as it goes, i was hoping you were going to bring it to the cornwall meet but you brought that `datsun` instead :lol:

yep, looks ok from the photo, i would be a little cautious about the vaugness on the charger, from the items the guy has been selling on ebay i`d probaly say he wasnt neccesarily a dealer but i think he probaly knows the score, it looks ok like i say and the price is ok, at the end of the day i`d want to go have a look or at least request a few more decent pics, it`s a long way from brum thats for sure ..... the mileage is of concern of course but if it`s been well maintained then there is no reason it wont go on for a while yet

......well thats gonna knock a grand off :lol: it looks like a nice car from the pics on show, as you`ll probaly be aware that prices can vary quite noticeably i`d be tempted to stick it in at the £3200 mark and see what happens

might be a good idea to post a few pics fella :thumbleft:
