Sounds like an entire weekend full of fun!

RUT ROH! Don't you get too stuck - I'm sure nearby CCUK members would be happy to assist if you really need it. What're you going to be doing to it?

Oh nooooooo! I have to agree - it seems both our lists are growing ever more! LOL! We'll get there in the end! Just went for an OEM one dude; £41 + £9 for next day delivery (tomorrow), I'll have it on no problem when it get's here, got some good guides to follow and that's all you need really! I'll try that what you did too, mix up the methods a bit.

Thanks Sara All sorted now! Got a new Rad on the way, should be here tomorrow morning. Have the day off tomorrow anyway, as was meant to be taking my bro to pick up his new S2000, but just gonna spend the afternoon fixing up the wife! > LUCKILY, everything seems to be okay engine wise, had my local check over the engine as much as they could and he reckons topping her up with coolant after the rad is done will just right itself. Will have to just reset the ECU when the new Rad is on after bleeding the system and hopefully, everything should be okay. Massive weight lifted! Wouldn't let her go down anyway! NOT WITHOUT A DAMN GOOD FIGHT!

This picture... priceless. Thanks Chris, totally captured my displeasure here! HAHAHA!

If there was a like button, I would click it until my mouse packed in (or the rad went in that too, hahahaha)

Yeah, steve and kris (spell check that mate) were really helpful, even waited around with me until the AA had been! Faaaaaaaar too far away to be towed though, took nearly two hours to get back in the AA van. I didnt notice it though, as had a nap. Lol! Yeah i would have happily left it too with Steve - instantly trust worthy guy and both were super helpful. I felt i kind of spoiled their day with this crap, but it'll get sorted!! Not THAT easily disheartened!! lots of club spirit demonstrated, from fitting spacers to the end. Cheers man!

Yeah dude - i was shitting myself thinking it would fall off!! Hahaha! Gonna cancel the membership and get a refund minus recovery back to my house. :/ that was 94 quid i think. Paid about 230 quid to the AA today.

Haha, that's exactly what Steve said!

Hey folks! So... driving up to Manchester for Miib's Jap Meet, which was a decent turn out. Noticed along the way that the temp gauge read, what I say as, a needle higher than normal. Straight away, I had two things going off in my head... oil, or coolant. I didn't really know ENTIRELY for sure, which it was giving me the message for. Anyway, got to Steve's (Rsvr Boy) gaff, who very kindly put a set of spacers on for me which by the way - look great dude, so thanks very much for that! Anyhoo, after a perve over his amazing bike, and his guitars - we decided the 3 of us would roll out to Trafford Centre, where on the way, the engine management light lit up and the temp was flashing at the highest point. After 2 bottles of buxton - it came to our attention, in the middle of all these nice cars... the coolant was p*ssing out all over the place, looks like a hole in the rad. Looooong story short, after the Rentacops and the ACTUAL cops turfing everyone off the car park due to a few speckles of general hooning... the bunch of us were left waiting around for the AA. The guy turned up, poked a light in the engine bay, kicked the tyre and said - you'll have to upgrade your membership to get it home. £200, 2.5 hours, one nap, 3 sausage rolls and the ever painful ache in my poor little heart... she's now safely back on my drive and a radiator has been ordered (kindly by my brother, mikecivicvtec on here and on civiclife.net) - and we're going to fit it tomorrow or tuesday - as we're both off on Tuesday, which was meant be a run down south to pick up his new S2000. Guess that's not happening now! Lol! ANYWAY... here's some hilarious pictures. Some of our 3 cars parked up - with my coolant all over the dogshelf, and some of the nice AA man strapping my car up.

Agreed, Caldina was mint!

You may be wondering why! I want a face lift. I'm liking the Thunder Grey more and more every time i see it. Everything I would do to it, is done. I'll probably spend 2500 on mine in that space of time, and it'll annoy me that it's not a 190. And not a facelift. Easy as that! Yep! Seen it upclose and loved it. Plus with how it is right now, it's great - has everything done to it that I would do! So... no grumbles! Fixing blowers is nothing, probably something silly, but niggly that I could have fixed for hundred quid or so. Everything else is tip top. I'd have it tomorrow if I had the cash right now! Wish I'd have known, wouldn't have spent a grand on my car up to now and just saved it for purchase of yours!

Three-four months and I'll have £4000 - may need to chuck a bit of months wage at it. Ding dong! Hit me up when you sell up. <3

EYUP. This is me, and mah celica.

I would check at your local super markets who do deliveries, ask around on the street to see if anyone has had any parcels delivered too, and if so - which companies? Contact local parcel deliveries - and even the local Royal Mail depot - and ask if any vehicles have come in with damages. It DOES look like something with a higher end has hit it due to the position on the panel... so it might be worth trying to find it. These delivery guys are always banging stuff (i used to work at UK Mail) and just driving off!

Only because they're made out of Frankincense and Myrrh!

"Love, I forgot where we par..." "Orange carpark, row 36,, isle 14, north east corner, 12th bay in, behind the other blue car." "Thanks..." Them women... they just seem to be too good at this stuff. Nice one on the spoiler!

Did you give him that website? He probably found his own way there anyways if you didn't as that's kind of what you get when you type 'immigrant needing cheap car insurance to pick up benefit cheque' in to Google.

I know right!? I'd love to push a lot of cars in to a dark and murky river to be honest.

Rules of the game clearly state YOU and YOUR CAR. Which begs the question... should we be extra cheeky and ask a Ford Dealership Salesman to take the photo!? HAHAHA!

I'm so doing this.
