Champion RC8VTYC4 will look em up just to make sure they are the correct ones

pretty crappy actually now ive seen it in decent light, and less oil than i thought. 1-2 are like this, 3-4 seem better.

any ideas appreciated. so she decided to have some problems starting the last couple of days but got going in the end and was driving fine until today when she woulnt start at all, ended up draining the battery which was fooked anyway. picked up a new battery and still not starting, turns over and sounds like she wants to go. there is a spark from all leads. So started pulling the plugs and there is a little and i mean very little on a couple of the plugs where the thread ends. But all are quite black. I can smell fuel so pretty sure theres not a problem there. change the plugs first or anything else i can check? thanks for any help.

Well job looks good but when I went to pick it up they drove it out and it was in a right state. Been sitting gathering dust and was not cleaned, all the dust had got in the car and carpets were filthy. Guy was not bothered at all when I mentioned it, was just glad to get it back. Got home and gave it a clean and the new panel looked good. Then got onto the insurance company and made a complaint, but the guy just asked what I expected them to do lol, just wanted to let them know I suppose. Can name and shame now. Was highdown coach works in landing. Would definitely not recommend them

my dads car, used to let me borrow it anytime. even ended up storing it in my garage as i used it more than him. Till he sold it :( :( i'll never forgive him

had a clunking noise from the front at the weekend and managed to get round to jacking it up and having a look and see this. fitted these in february this year. got them from GSF. so needed some new ones and didnt want crap stuff again so called the stealers and ive been told £105 all in for all bushes both sides, ive got them coming tomorrow. how badly am i getting screwed?

well car eventually comes back tomorrow. they toook ages trying to find a decent rear arch section they could weld in. hope its a nice job.

had exactly the same problem. my cable had snapped though.

k459 blue vr6 on chichester roundabout saturday lunchtime.

cars back in today to get re-done, ive insisted to 2 guys there that it needs all new steel in there. should be done friday, ive got my magnet at the ready :)

i borrowed my dads last year, its the smaller engined one though. 2 years old i think it is. 250 mile round trip to celtic manor. Really wished id taken the rado, was comfy enough but drank an immense amount of fuel and was not exciting to drive whatsoever. also use's loads of oil. he's happy enough but would never want one myself.

changed my electric window motr and mech. god damn my knuckles are sore. only took hour and half though :D side note: spoiler stopped working on the same day though :( god damn corrado's i hate em. lol only joking :D wouldnt have it any other way.

ok just got back from the body repair shop. not that helpful really, at first the guy said its been hit again WTF? i replied and said no way its bubbling up. he went and got the details up on the pc with photo's of damage and started to give me bull about it must have been rusty in the first place because the metal was cracked gggrrr i then said it was cracked because it had been hit by another car which he came back with nope doesnt crack like that if it was decent steel in there. Hehe i then told him im a fabricator and i know what steel does and doesnt do, he kinda went off the subject then. anyway he reakoned that they wouldnt put all new steel in the repair they would have just smoothed it over, but the guy i delt with at the time who told me it would be all new steel put in there was off today :censored: so i have to phone back monday once he's discussed it with him. think they are gonna try and shaft me with this one im getting the insurance details out and will give them a call once ive spoken to the garage on monday.

roger at RW masters who i trust to no end. he reakoned i should go to the repairers first to give them a chance to recity it. then if they are awkward i should go to the insurance. wondering if i should call or just go over and get face to face so they got no chance of getting a reason together.

so The C got hit in march this year on the left rear arch not to bad but bad enough to warrant it getting repaired. the arch itself had been repaired badly before at some point and the accident had made it stand out worse. So under insurrance i got it repaired at a garrage that they suggested. Now this garage id heard of and delt with quite a few years previously, id sent a aston martin DB4 to them about 8 years ago and they done a great job. But as they had alot of the same guys there i thought id go for it. Now 8 months later the arch that they said would get all new metal in it is bubbling up :mad2: not happy as you can imagine. had a word with my local garage (RW Masters) some may know it. And roger says its a real bad job. first port of call? garage or insurance company? i was told it had a 5 year guarantee.

H plate valver i think. lady driver grey maybe, was raining. riverside ind est littlehampton @ 5 o'clock got a wave :)

im looking at spending about the same at the mo. been looking at honda s2000 (yeah i know its a jap) nissan 350z (again a jap) porsche boxster 3.2s audi tt 3.2 dsg

i sooooooo want that car. got the same alloys just not the car to go with it :(

would suspension from a g60 fit a 92 valver?

nice silver rado with a nice set of alloys in littlehampton yesterday, drove right past you in mine and waved :wave: driver didnt even flinch, not one inch of recognition :(

maybe if you state where you are, someone local maybe be able to take a look!!

damn really? only done about 7k on these. the rest of the tyre hardly looks used, was hoping it would be some part of the suspension i could sort out. oh well only paid about 40 quid each for them, think i'll go with the falkens next time and try them out.

haha better not be, missus use's it as daily :nono:

put these tyres on the front of my 16v just over a year ago, ive checked pressure, steer's nice and straight does'nt pull what so ever and its just the outsides of both fronts. any idea's much appreciated :)

im not far off 38 myself :) its a character from my favourite movie when i was younger. and whats funny about littlehampton? :?
