Not sure what they did to the brakes exactly! It was related to the handbrake i think, all it says on that bill is rectify brake inbalance? Oh and free light laden valve?! Double dutch to me heh heh! Car is going o.k ta although the rust is strting to worsen :( Am gona get it sorted out though hopef...

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this problem. Every time I turn of the ignition, there is a whirring sound from the engine bay lasting roughly 23 secs. Same length of time every time and it happens every time no matter what the engine temp...even when cold. It seemed to begin after the last...

The guy selling it is a bit of a tosser. He sold a nice looking black M plate a while back, i asked him a couple of quite reasonable questions and his reply was......well, i'll be polite and say cheeky as fukc!! You just need to read his description to get the idea

Last time it was on ebay was the back end of last year....The guy selling it then listed all the problems and it was a seriously long list! £50 quid or so start price and it didn't even sell.

Heh heh...yea, always seems to get hit worst out that way! Am sure i can pick up the cover when i'm next through!

We had a fair bit of snow here...quite heavy but it didn't stick around for long. None the less, a wee dusting of snow on Edinburgh's roads and the whole place grinds to a halt!!

The Rich mod is definately the way to go! I've only been experiencing it for about a week now and, well.....it's pretty good!

Yip...the forum the thread comes from is excellent! Plenty of good idea's to be had so this one definately gets the thumbs up!

Shame the 850 estate isn't there! Now there was a class motor!!

Ah well, perhaps you're rght....i did think it surprising someone would have half inched it! Wish it had come out somewhere when i could have found it and re-attached it though!! Could swop one from the other car as might treat the Turb to a brand new set

Yea...that's a tricky one! Neither look is without it's charms. Second pic does have the edge but....hmmm....will have to have a further think

Aye....seems dodgy to me too!! Need to get a better alarm for that car!

Hmmmm....started reading this post and was definately swung towards removing the red stripes from my es....now i've reached the end , i'm not so sure! Would probably need to see a pic of one done to make a final decision!....

I know...unbelieveable! I didn't think there were that many in Edinburgh either!!

Don't think my Turbo has that window tap feature It is on the ES so maybe its just later cars ...

Came out yesterday to swop the front clusters over between my cars and discovered the glass completely gone from my ES's n/s long range driving lamp! :badmood: No broken bits of glass in evidence so begs the question , what happened?!! Can't believe it simply fell out, think it may have been assiste...

Welcome Just a small point for you, the rear wiper should avtivate itself when reverse gear is engaged and the front wipers are on at the same time....it's a nice wee feature...if it works! That aside...could be a problem

It was certain it was gonna happen sometime! Thankfully, Ikea car park was pretty empty at the time so all is well Lucky the handbrake is pretty good! I'll just say now...that's the last time it's getting left in gear!!

Leaving it out of gear is something i'm gonna learn pretty quickly! Only just back from picking the car up from Murf.....why not, try the remote start....well, you can guess the rest

Place i took it to was a council depot, they don't actually do the repairs so have no need to dream up problems to make themselves cash! It seemed a good idea at the time but now...hmm...not so sure
