Mine isn't strengthened and is fine tbh

Going to move this to 'engine bay' now as it's coolant related... you may find you get more advice too 8)

Probably worth flushing the system and replacing with new G12 (it might be G12+ but I can't remember) if you don't know when it was last done - also a good idea as winter isn't far off either... Seeing as they didn't change it for the service (didn't think they would have done tbh) I would worry even less that it needed topping up as it could have been low for ages and had only just got low enough to set the light off :)
-
Keep an eye on it for the next week or 2 mate and leave a bottle of water in the boot... they do need topping up from time to time. Also might be worth checking to see if they did change your coolant when it was serviced as there could have been an air lock when they re-filled it or maybe they just didn't put enough in!?! I would just keep an eye on it for now but wouldn't say it's worth losing any sleep over...

Looks spot on! What diameter is your Sub? It's something I've been wanting to get done to mine for ages - will have to have a gander at yours on thursday 8) Your leather is far too clean btw :roll: :lol:

Used to see a nice Racing Puma around in Farnham - in fact I nearly hit it once when they decided they had more right than me to squeeze through a tight spot on a country road! Lovely looking car though with the pulled arches etc - shame the engine wasn't cosworth derived...
-
Looks great! Love the wheels and ride height 8)

send them to mailto:[email protected] and me or one of the other mods will sort them for you I'm sure :D
-
EllieB, they do here Edit: link fixed
-
Not just for topping it up... you shouldn't need to put much in either
-
Think thats your water level tbh mate... Have a look at your expansion tank and check the level - then top up with water accordingly!
-
Are the 2 outer bulbs identical to the center one? I had a lower wattage bulb in the middle for a while which kind gave me the reverse of your problem - just a thought :?
-
It will happen - coming to a no rice near you :lol:
-
Wnen I said on the car I didn't expect that :lol:
-
herisites, looking at the top pic of your lupo wipers - I have the blades on the other way round so the blade with the off center mounting is on the drivers side - tbh I think it looks a bit more stock but thats just my opinion of course ;) Car is looking very sweet btw - don't think I'd change a thing 8)

Changing the air flow meter on mine has altered my mpg every time I've had it done! I was getting 23mpg on one last year and then changed it in spring this year and started getting 28. I am now getting 34mpg on the same run and am on my third unit! I also found when changing sets of wheels they had an effect on the over all reading!

Hello and welcome to the forum... looks a beauty 8)
-
Good news :D
-
I'll keep it grey - I think I prefer it tbh and having got grey leather, grey plastics and new grey mats I think it looks spot on 8)
-
Yeah! damn these fingers :lol:
-
Think I paid about £40 for them at E38 last year - which was a special 'show' price... Just had a look on their website at it looks like they are £39 plus 39.95 p+p... These ones are better quality than the ones they replace too and well worth the money IMO 8)
-
I got them for free :D Basically I bought set off them last year at E38 and the logo's were pealing off so I asked them at e38 this year and they said they'd send me a replacement set under guarantee! Was really chuffed with that as was only really asking to see if I could get replacement logos 8)
-
They are grey ones ;) Just dark grey - they look a lot better than the black ones I had previously... any lighter and they'll look crap as soon as they're dirty! Wouldn't mind dying the carpet a similar shade tbh...
-
Why the hell should you pay them £70 when it's them that want to see your car to a third party? I know they will refund you when the car is sold but I really don't see what it could be for other than a blatent SCAM! I'd write them a very rude email and tell them to f**k right off :mad:

Got my replacement mats from Justmatz - really pleased with them and think they finish off the interior perfectly :) (pics in my members gallery - click my sig ;) )
