    Hoodedreeper's New Polo Project

    I'm sorry, I know it's a dangerous situation but as no-one was hurt I gotta say: isn't it really amusing when parts of your car overtake you? I had a rear wheel do the to me on my AX and I didn't even notice.

    Help!- Full Beam only works on one side

    Get a new bulb, some bulbs look ok visually but don't work. Or just put the bulb in from the passenger side to test it. Does the plug look burned or a bit bubbly?

    My point is they see you with an explosive in your hand and they will make an assumption resulting in you getting shot lol. Does look sweet though.

    If there's not a servo they should just push harder on the brake pedal. It's obviously just to get more money out of you to fix it. Have you thought about upgrading the brake system to include a servo? Golf?

    Take it to another tester, most of the older ones know how bad they are.

    Nice paint work, what is involved in doing that, just a load of masking and painting? How are the brakes on it? I hear they are pretty non-existent as standard.

    Not a Micra

    Yeah, the backseat was not approved by the girlfriend. They are small inside cos they are small outside lol.

    Not a Micra

    Oh they looked like the wheels of the V6 mondeo lol. I wouldn't mind some XR3i cloverleaf wheels but they are costing stupid money right now. Lowering is definitely part of the plan. I want to cover the whole car in vinyl, including the windows lol.

    Nice, I did consider mondy alloys but the 13 inch pepperpots were just too sexy for words so I had to have them. XR2 spec Ka anyone? :p

    I'm A Mong

    First day with my new car and I scraped all down the side on the back of a lorry. It happens to most new-ish drivers til they get used to the size of a new car. Don't worry about it, it's only a flesh wound anyway, easy fix.

    Not a Micra

    I got rid of the AX cos I smoked the clutch on it. There are only a few problems with this one: The tinworm, which I have now fixed, BIG holes, hidden by plastic It's a girls car The torque runs out at 2500rpm There is no room in the engine bay to work with Apart from that she is beautiful...

    Not a Micra

    But I thought you might be interested in what I'm rolling around in these days (if it passes it's MOT Tuesday). Of course I only have it til I get another Micra. All mods done by me. The stripes are the +40bhp 150mm type :p Best mod so far is the Kumho KH17's on the back, need to get the...

    Auto K11

    I have driven an auto before (3.0 V6 Shogun :p), very strange to start with, by the end of the trip I was just about used to it. Much more relaxed driving style. It is more wear on the brakes but less wear on my left shoe so it evens out :p

    Auto K11

    I suspect my Ford may fail it's MOT next month. On my daily trip to work I change gear a million times. It's really annoying. I have decided an automatic is in order, I'm not really a race driver and the type of driving I do doesn't need a manual box. Yeah I'm just being lazy really. Back to...

    strut braces

    Lower brace is very effective on this type of car. Upper, not so much. Rear, not at all. IMO

    knocking noise

    That would be my post, it was late (ish) and I'd been workin on a honda all day. After I posted I realised my error but am unable to edit posts for some reason.

    knocking noise

    Yeah but the valve will, also the cams get a bit grooved as well, further pushing out your reading.
