looking sweet they are, i want some deep dish. I jealous.

Sorted the battery, starter seems to be working but havnt replaced it, it died on me erlia and it wouldnt idle, had to keep the revs on and its was struggling then, then it eventually went after sitting at traffic lights for a while, got it started down a hill in second then pulled onto my drive (As it luckily decided to go up the road from my house) Cut out when i pulled up and wouldnt start again, turns over but wont start, can hear it wanting to go but it doesnt fire up kind of fires up a little then dies, also when i got it running after it cut out the first time when i changed gear it was very jumpy, jumpy enough my my dash to look like it was moving when i changed gear.... worked fine about 5 mins before.... help me please, any suggestions would be beneficial, mot in 6 days, wouldnt be good if it didnt start at all... aha. Cheers people, sorry my car is such a pain in the arse, least its not a pain in the wallet for you lot. Regards Aidan

very taisty car mate.

what sizes did people get if you dont mind me asking.... Dont want to buy too little Cheers.

pay much for um? Looks fully smart mate, nice one. Contrast does look sweet.

also cheers for that mate, ill have a mooch. Good little picture that is.

wiring seems fine, as it works occasionally id also asume its fine... there is a split within the wrap that holds all the witres together which goes down the chassis leg which is wet because my car overheats making loads of water boil out of the coolent resovoir. May casse this but i duno :S

i have changed my battery as my friend had a brand new one which is £90 at halfords - 30 for me... When i put the battery in it fired up straight away and i figured it was sorted, then later on that night it did it again, and keep on doing so, bettery must have charge as it starts if i turn the key about 50 times, can hear it try and turn over insted of not then i can give it some revs and it goes, im asuming its the starter motor maybe the solonoid but to be quite honest i dont know where is it in my bay, silly i know but i try and fix my cars mostly myself just by working it out, only due to the price in which i have to pay for someone to do it for me, im a student and am very broke, doing it myself is the only option really.... Could somone be nice enough to show me where it is please, i know what the part looks like but i dont know where it is, etc as then i can have a look to see if the solonoid s still working... Sorry people, i just want her to bloody work.

Have a look about around ebay and other resources such as auto trader, i know this is ore of a mission but very worth it, i do think that is over priced, but the best option is to make sure the one you purchase is a good starting peice, ie good condition in all aspects. Carry out proper checks of seals, sills, arches looking for rust and make sure the engine seems to be fine etc. Just be sure to overlook a few and make your decision as their addictive and the first one you see youl want to purchase..... Which could have a bad outcome, so make sure the one you buy is tiptop, go see it see if you think its worth the money your paying, looks a nice model, just overlook it to be sure.

Where abouts do you live? I was planning on buying one from there its the easiest option as i jsut want my car working again. Does it get you much discount? aha. Im pretty sure it is the bettery as said by wullie its not keeping the charge so ill be planning on getting one of these asap. Cheers mate, anything which makes my life cheaper is useful, thanks. aha. She costs me too much anyway.

tbh i would like the skills and knowledge to create something with such quality but ideas would be different because i am me, i still respect the work done, least it hasnt got a shocking body kit stuck to it.

aha enit its true, cheers, easiest option i supose. Tah.

Cheers people, the dash lights seem fine tbh, there is a weird noise also which sounds like a pup of some kinda, sounds kind of like when your car is running out of fuel and the pump is sucking nothing. little "vwehhhh" All electrics are still fine but it did run out of battery all together when my car froze up, it fine from then mechanicaly but the battery needed a big charge and it worked fine, im asuming that put stress on the battery and caused it to give up, if you dont mind me asking what does the cold do to a battery to cause it to break, surley the mix of water/battery acid would not be able to freeze, do you lot have problems mot years as i have never had a problem like this before, the cold is making my car suffr this year and i dont want it to kill her. Thanks for the advice, think i may have to shell out on a battery tbh. Cheers.

cheers im sure the battery is keeping enough charge to go but i think something else is causing it not to start, cheers mate. ill have to test it, see what its saying then have a re think if not, hope yours is keeping you going. merry christmas n that, thanks.

Sorry but i just looked again to see if i was bing a little harsh but the dash center console looks like a board game. Perfect time of year i supose... :)

Tried starting it today and did nothing, made a little squeak wouldnt turn over gave it a bit of a heavy foot, didnt do anything, got the charger on it and it started, went for a little drive but didnt turn her off as i didnt trust it to start on me again, when i came to try again(After about 5 hours charging the battery) it did nothing, i kept trying and it bumbled gave it some and it went, then again it wouldnt start so my friends gave me a push and it started up fine. If i try now it wont, what could this be, ive given the starter motor a few bangs an it does nothing, all looks fine but obviously not.. Cheers, bit bad timing really, least i got christmas day ay...

would have bounced off and got stuck again. No injuries substained.

2nd video is quality. Gotta love americans.

I personally think that people should definatly not be buying wheel socks for the front wheels on a rwd car, that is just comical and i bet they cost a bit too. Id watch and laugh, why not? Thats what people would do to me, ive broken down with no one asking to help me push it etc, times change ay in the winter the car heads know the score why am i epected to help the ugs who cznt hellp themselves? My car is crap in the snow but i seem to get about fine, just dont go down any hill you may end up having to come back up. Also, if people dont know what wheels are being driven, their foolish idiots who i have no sympathy for. Plus if he had helps none of us could watch and laugh.

As if theres people slating the dude who videod this, i personallythink its a good video and shes one of the dumbest people ive seen.. well deserved stupidity. And "how did she have the intelligence in the first place to be able to get a job to afford a two year old BMW in the first place" Her husband bought it, im sure she wouldnt even know what a steering wheel was if someone asked her, let alone told her. Leaving in gear, trying to push it, nice but asking for a fail. Laura, your only being sympathetic as you know full well first hand that problems like this to occour on a daily basis being female n that....

outsides nice, soonner you get in youl be supprised. Nah not my cup of tea. Tbf the blue is odd and the dashboads is hidious but least i didnt buy it, spose.

jsc, your car looks sweet, nice picture. And the other one too, digg those babys out and go have a play. :D And on the metro comment, i agree too i want one too would be fun, that or a polo, their pretty fun in the snow... Annything which is cheap and doesnt mind being taken over a few curbs... aha

"im sure theres plenty of us that did out there " Fully agree with that i bloody love it, id do it in the corrado.... i love it. It does teach you and make you better at driving i have to say. I see loads of people do it, even police.... its fun. Snow birngs people to being children again in many ways, snow men, snow balls or even driving like a knob. Its all good and alot better than normal daily life, brings difference to daily life with excitment, couldnt be better. Doesnt help me though as at the moment my car is frozen at a garage as there was no anti freeze in my car when i sent it there which means i cant go and have fun (in some obviously private car parks)..... How can you blame people for enjoying the snow, its their car, its what it does and why should they not do it? Something that brings you smiles should obviously be appreciated.

Black VR.....blonde girl driving! I want her for a mrs......
