  1. I've been quoted £640 to repair my rotting rear wheel arch as a bodged repair from another body shop last year has made the problem worse than ever. Can anyone recommend a place in or near Milton Keynes? Does this quote seem about right? Cheers Mike
  2. I had the Maxi-Cosi car seat that is part of the Quinny Buzz travel system of 2008. It fitted into the back seats of the Gen6 but the seat belt was at maximum extent so the head was raised a bit more than in my wife's Rover. The base is narrow so fitted in the seats. This wasn't the ISO model. For when the child is about 1 onwards I have this one in the back of my car: Recaro Young Sport mircofibre - Black / Aquavit http://www.prams-pushchairs.co.uk/recaro-y...avit-p-628.html There is a range of colours available for this model. It fits very well as the base is narrow so is snug in the gen6 high sided rear seats. The seat belt holds it in place, it's not an ISO. Halfords do this range also, not sure who's doing the best price currently. My only niggle is that the Recaro seat doesn't recline as much as my wife's Maxi-Cosi. I tested the fit of that one in my car and it was such a wide boy. One side was always higher than the other so no good. With the Recaro fully reclined, my 2 year old girl can just about touch the back of the passenger seat when in the fully forward position. It's a lovely looking seat, soft touch, comfortable for little one. She can quite easily fall asleep in it It should last a long time as it's up to 11 years. Hope the info helps now and later on. Feel free to ask any questions
  3. Every time I have a blown bulb in the house or car I remove it prior to going to the shop and have it in my pocket. That way you can be sure it's the right size, power and connection type. Saves a wasted trip. Can't really join the hate for Halfords as they've been pretty useful for me both in Gateshead where I used to live and now Milton Keynes. Identifying the correct battery for my import model which has the small connection posts, fitting alloys, mixing paint and finding those bulbs etc. Always been superstores if it makes a difference...
  4. Celica-90 has it now as I changed the V8 challenge to the "things on top of other things" challenge. Hehe. (Monty Python). All the V8's are tucked in for the winter, been miniturized, or boxed in by other cars it would appear:P
  5. Haha! I was expecting a pumpkin on the bonnet or maybe some costumed halloweeners, but a smashed up Corrolla ON a Celica! I think the challenge is well met Leigh I think your V6 Celica is now a muscle car itself! I was thinking big Yanky, but a V8 in an MR2 would be just as special. I thought the MR2 was too small for a V8 engine which I assume is massive. I'd be interested in seeing that challenge or not! Nice one Celica-90, over to for the next challenge.
  6. Did anyone go up against a big V8? If someone has a shot, post it up! Can I run 2 challenges at the same time though?
  7. As it's Halloween season, your car with something scary on it or in it.
  8. Hmm, it's a been a while since anyone posted so maybe the challenge was a bit too specific. Plus all those muscle cars are probably being tucked away into storage now! Can I change the challenge to something else?
  9. Coolio Alright, the next challenge is your Celica next to a V8 muscle car.
  10. Had this in the Photo of the day section for a short while
  11. Sorry, didn't read far enough back to see I've broken 2 rules with this challenge...
