  1. Tell him he owns a shopping trolley
  2. Wow 345k - that's something to aim for. I have a warehouse full if spares but I never need them!
  3. No repairs, no mechanical failures- just the pas cooler pipe, I bought it on 20,000 miles and I'm still on original clutch and exhaust. I built another engine when I hit 150,000 but it's not been fitted yet as the original engine is still going strong.
  4. 140,000 that's barely run in, 207,000 and never missed a beat and I think I've got plenty of life still and I've got big plans for it still .
  5. is it thick white smoke, or is it just steam
  6. Yeah they all seem to crack in the same place - I think to prevent it, the mount needs a bit more rubber in it so that it can move with the engine vibration
  7. im guessing: http://www.citypowdercoating.co.uk/#!
  8. make sure you put it on retention before mot/tax is up - cant be removed otherwise
  9. try briano or bigb - they will probably know and may even have one available
  10. wishbone would be my first guess, then leg, then hub, then subframe - very hard to see if its marginally out and sometimes easier to change 1st 3 in one go from good car
  11. It will be ok, I've used my 7 too pull cars with seized brakes up the 1 in 3 incline for my unit and it's stunk but once cooled down been ok. 207,000 miles and original clutch
  12. starchem, paint on with a brush, leave 10 mins, use a scraper to peel off (gentle so as not too key the panel
  13. I think Avon but will need to look, look for some on eBay old mr2 used that size and I picked up an almost new pair for £30
  14. i run 206 60 14 on the back of the ta22 and 185 60 14 on the front on celica-supra rims
  15. http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/saved_calculations/view_details/134078620/
  16. customs and vat plus handling charge - will add about 30 -50 % to the price you pay (calculated on total price ie wheels and shipping) You will probably find its not worth it
  17. If you buy a dab radio the dab aerial sticks to the front of Windscreen, get a bodyshop to fill and flat the hole if you don't like it, expensive option though.
  18. Ive run winter tyres during the summer and as above they have been better than some of the real budget ones that I have used
  19. On front wheel drive cars you might get away with normal tyres but rwd is another story
  20. If the car is dangerous, the tester can class it as being unsafe after which point you cannot drive the car at all, ie not even home, used to be a box on the bottom of the old failure sheet before computerisation , can't remember the exact details
  21. i very much doubt it - wht do you want to do it?
