Chaps,
Soon to be spraying my calipers, and vaguely remember someone on here using a "Trophy" stencil on theirs a while ago.
Now what would be the best way of acquiring say a sticker that I could use as a stencil?
I've obviously thought about finding out what font the trophy writing is, and...
I know this is dragging the topic up from the dead...but it's only a quick question.
As I am about to do the same (replace disks & pads on)....I was thinking of using your quick technique and just spraying over the top and covering the important bits. But was just wondering if there's any...
I think I may have put my point across the wrong way...
Obviously I know cars depriciate...but I was just asking as to whether or not anybody knew why recently the values of them seem to be dropping at a faster rate. Like anything inparticular etc...
This is the thing...I haven't seen any go recently for around that price. Even with low mileage.
They all seem to be up around the low 6's...with the odd one up at 7 with low mileage.
I'm only saying this because even though I love the car to bits...I don't want it to get to a stage (say a...
I bought mine for £6700 with only 17k on the clock...been very tempted to sell to make a cheeky £1000-1500...but then I think to myself...what the hell else would I buy for the same price thats any better?
I'm confused...I've had a look on the samco website and read through a few things...
But still got a few things i dont understand.
If i was to buy say a viper/maxogen system..would i then replace part of that with these samco hoses?...x..y..z
I've always had a slight feeling that the exhaust may be blowing..but we've had a look..and it isnt...yet you know when you just think something is a-miss...?
whats pre-detonation? the fuel burning before its been used or something?
yeh i think every corner there is a big steep hill...but...
Car's due up for a service & MOT which I will be doing within the next week or so.
It's only done 22k so its just the usual 'A' service as per the guide on here.
The thing is..my mpg for daily driving is between around 28 to 30...now reading some figures elsewhere,that seems a tad...
I wonder what I would get for mine...
paid £6700 not long ago..with only 17k on the clock...hardly put anything on that!
Tempted to sell to make a quick buck..but then i wouldnt want any other car, as it took me 6 months to decide what to get!
Was it not you that pulled up a month or two next to me in keighley and said 'thought these were supposed to be rare?"
I would love to mate, but I play rugby on a saturday semi-pro,so skipping it is not an option! Another time maybe?
Over in bingley mate...close to keighley/skipton way.
How about you? I was only wanting to get it done by garages for the service history side of it really.
I've only just seen this thread, and exhaust/brakes are the only upgrades I will be doing...
I'm assuming this is still available? What options do they have with payment etc...installments?
Thanks lads.
Yeh we had a look at the ball joints and they seemed fine.
I'll change them and see what difference that makes. One of my mates was touching on the fact I might need to replace the drop-link...but hopefully not!
Why are the poly ones worse? do they make a constant noise?
A couple of people have had a look at my car,as they believe that the drop-link/anti-roll bar? bush has perished on the driver's side. and as a result when the car is driven, there is a loud creaking noise whenever the steering wheel is turned.
We've had a feel around, and where the anti-roll...
Just given that RS Murray a ring... they gave a quote of around £150 for standard service..excluding any parts like plugs etc...
that was just for oil change and filters..
Is that a touch high?
If i'm quite honest, I don't know much about how to maintain a car myself...always having to get my mates and their tools to help me out. Which isn't really a problem, but I want to start getting more involved. (bikes not a problem..but cars..i'm lost)
I bought my Trophy around June time with...
Afternoon chaps,
After taking the motor out for a spin this afternoon, i noticed after, a squeaking noise coming from what sounds like the steering rack etc... leading down to the wheels. Almost like the same creaking noise as when a bed goes.
I then stopped, and turned the wheel when i was...
