  1. I'm surprised members are advising the undersized socket and hammer method, not when you can spend a measly £18 without risking damaging the rim, and then sell the lockers on as a complete set if you don't want them.
  2. That's a long shot, but you never know. I take it you know the 24157SU is the type number, not the code number, should you ring McGard on Monday.
  3. As this car was first registered 31.03.03, I think it's highly unlikely to be a pre face lift. I agree that just in case it is the earlier spec., hold out for a face lift with all the improvements they came with.
  4. Couple of errors in the listing. You're probably aware the car isn't a T Sport, and the spoiler wasn't OE, so would be classed as a mod.
  5. V-TEC eh?, I wonder if Cravo will be all over this car like a rash, it is local to him too
  6. ..and Ireland too. Those sidewalls look massive in 15" :xmas_smile:
  7. As Mr Munky would say.."you have to pay to play", and If you have a black theme with your ride, they look mint. Weren't they on eBay around £155 from Japan?.
  8. Use the 5W40 fully synth Triple QX, it will only be slightly more than the 10W40 part. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/engine-oils-and-car-fluids/engineoils/5w40-engine-oil/?521776031&0&cc5_248 Halfords will also be doing a very good deal on their own branded 5W40 next month.
  9. Ian, round here we have a saying for people like you.. Yer on wrong bus!
  10. I'd say the average owner would be in their fifties, lives on the South coast, drives a T Sport, knew nothing about moddin' till they discovered CCUK, now going through their second childhood, regularly swallows a dictionary, and falls asleep in public.
  11. Just spotted this one, looks a bargain with 10 months ticket IF it's not burning oil.. http://www.gumtree.com/p/toyota/toyota-celica-long-tax-and-test/1087308685 http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/index.jsp?guide=prices&page=used_cars&no=3&make=Toyota&model=Celica+%281999-06%29&vip=13385&yearplate=2003%2F52&mileage=122&x=55&y=2
  12. My mechanics workshop is around seven minutes drive away, so the temp gauge is on the middle marker by then
  13. Just make sure the oil is warm/hot before draining
  14. Kev thinks this 140 could well cost a lot more to repair than Danny's estimate. I would have asked Amit if he was interested in buying it as is.
  15. Have you seen the.."dent"?. http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/168332-had-a-bump-this-morning/#entry2135198
  16. All lies..merely a Yorkshire Whippitsnatcher :rolleyes: Now..when you can remember the Zeppelins, and Spanish flu, and..bugger, I've forgotten
  17. Happy Anniversary Kev 16v!

  18. Thank you, I worked in the motor trade for many years, Neil, and what so many people don't seem to take into account, is depreciation. So I like to think I've chosen carefully, and then keep for a long time
  19. It's now 10 years since I ordered my 7 from Falmer & Carlisle in Loughborough, still a relative newcomer compared to the TR, purchased in March 1985.
  20. Years ago, people used to drive long distances to use this company.. http://www.tintr.co.uk/
  21. What help are you looking for?. If you have a pre face lift UK car, the replacement battery is an 005. HTH.
