Aftershock

This is terrible news, i cant imagin i'd feel so positive with continuing with my car never mind being on here to warn others. Maybe everyone should remember to add health and safety advice to any guides they write from now on aswell, i do wear safety glasses sometimes however never even crossed my mind while working under my car, i shall be doing so in the future though.

I drove past their new workshop today. I also received a quote for 4 standard gen 7 alloys in silver and got quoted £60 a wheel. Im sure there can be some discount from that but bit too much for me, out with the rattle cans instead i think haha

Sounds like a good place for a meet, maybe get some ccuk discount. I've just requested a quote for my standard alloys to be refurbed so shall see what kind of price they get back to me with. I was planing on doing them myself but if the price is good i might get it done professionally

150 miles to and from work all week then every 2 or 3 weeks 400 miles round trip to my gf's at the weekend, averages out about 350 but can be upto 600 sometimes

I used to always only fill up half a tank, run to low but not quite got the light on then fill up to half again, partly because why would i want to carry all that extra fuel around when i pass several garages adn work right next to one every day, and partly because it doesnt feel as bad speanding all that money at once. Now with fule prices going up daily i fill her right up then run down till the light comes on, 20 miles or so more then fill right up again at the cheapest garage i can find. If fule prices continue to rise i may have to get a bike

Great, was planning to go buy oil tomorrow aswell for an oil change at the weekend

Dodgy, seen almost the exact same worded email before, probably on here from other members i think.

Wouldnt it be done seperately, you swap the private reg off the escort by filling in the forms and taking them to dvla then with another set of forms you put the private reg onto the celica? Sorry cant be more help, mine had a private reg when i bought it but the garage did all the paper work for me as the reg wasnt sold with the car. Not sure if both could be done at once or if insurance and tax makes a difference

I used a cut down bucket so that it would fit under the car, just put the old stuff back into the bottle once i've filled her up with fresh new oil.

There should be a removable panel in the under plastics to give you access i think, failing that just take them off and it will be obviouse from there. The sump nut is on the back of the sump.

Without a charge controller and just connected as it is straight to the battery then yes i would assume that it will just keep charging regardless of the state of the battery.

Average time 0.3282 Total Time 1.641 Not to bad Anyone want to do a comparison sober vs drunk

I got less with V-Power when i tried it but i'd guess you'd have to use a couple of tanks first to be seeing the benifit from it.

Becasue the webbing you use would need to have a proven safety rating surely to match the spec of the origional seatbelts

Would changing the seatbelt by putting new webbing into the exsisting mechanism not invalidate the insurance and fail the MOT?

Well i wasnt sure how the buld came out and was pushed for time so didnt bother taking it in with me or fitting in the car park. We live and learn though. Went back and told the guy what i needed, he checked the computer, no still wrong bulb but he did do his best to look through the bulbs and we found the right one in the end and exchanged it no problem. I would have though a company like halfods could afford to update their systems every once in a while to include things like this, the staff can only be as good as the systems there working with. Was Seafield Halfords so neither Yours or straighton Invisible Dark lol

Had a brake light out and since todays the first day i've had the car out in 3 weeks went to halfords to get a new one. Had a look at all the bulbs but couldnt tell which was the right one, so turned to the lookup chart. Toyota celica, thats a 380, ok find the bulb, hmm doesnt look right to me. The a helpful guy came offer to offer assistance, yeh can you check the brake light bulb for an 02 celica? Yeh thats a 380, hmm ok guess it must be then and i got it wrong. Wasnt sure if i needed to take the light cluster out or not so waited until i got home, go to change the bulb and its the wrong bulb so after being assured it the correct one in halfords i now need to go back and inform them no its not its the one i thought it was in the first place.

Got mine yesterday and it looks great.

I believe such a pic is £49.99 from your local Mr T
