No idea, just ask for the really f*cking expensive pedal covers and they'll know what you're on about :pac:HungryJoey wrote: »Love the OBD lock paddy. How secure is it against the OBD Theft issue?
Pretty secure to be fair. I guess the main idea behind it is that when these guys break the window and reach in to access the OBD port, it's in an alarm blind spot. This way if they're determined to get through it, you can guarantee the alarm will go off so there won't be a 'silent' theft. It'll also be obvious if they do get through it and plan on returning later. All in all, it's more a deterrent than anything. If they really want to steal it, they will. Might as well make life as difficult as possible for them so they pick another car instead.0 -
Definately not me, and technically it's her car, but good to get him doing this stuff nice and early.
That's my 22 month old son, with Grandad helping him, washing (or maybe detailing?) the wife's Volvo.
Seems to be 2 buckets too, so he's already a step ahead of me. Hope that's a wash mit in his hand and not a sponge :eek:0 -

So I did some more, little and all it was
First: looks a bit different now
Some bran flakes anyone?
Snickers?
Nutella?
What the f*ck are you smiling at? :pac:
Well done, leave me with no f*cking room to take the nut off :rolleyes:
Oh dear, this was cobbled too!
Driveshafts disconnected. You know it's beefier than lowly T-Sparks as these use what looks like a M10 bolt....
And I had to stop because as I type this I'm coughing my chest out

I got meh 166 some much needed wheels and tyres
Looks much better than those crappy pepperpots!
Drives much better too
Has Michelins all round. Much better than the bullsh*t tyres that were on it, much quieter, hold the road better..... Why cheap out, especially with a big Alfa??!!!
Moving to the 406. This is what I've had to put up with for the week. Well not exactly, otherwise I'd be poisoned and probably dead by now back to the traditional pissy wet afternoons for being near pissy wet Navan
Que my new pipe (no pics of me pole dancing round this will be uploaded :pac:)
Chopped a length, rammed the exhaust into it with brute force and ignorance, then welded it up
About 3cm too short but pah, I have my beloved car back to normal:D:D 0 -

I finally got round to changing both track rod ends and shock top bushing and bearing on the right side.
And I dropped the shock on my toe. Yes a van shock. Bloody sore.
Just need it tracked now.
Next step decat.
08 reno trafic 115 btw.
Hence I wear safety boots when working on the cars most of the time. A gearbox fell on my foot when I was 16, never the same since
Had a Daily live rear axle fall on me, crush me a bit and pin me to the ground...... :eek:
Had a set of piss poor compressors explode and nearly take my leg off, Ducato 1.8Q
Plenty more horror stories if you want to hear them :pac:
Consider yourself lucky

So dgt how does the silver busso compare to the red busso with the bolixed engine?
Those the 15s on the 166?
Or the 17s?
Haven't a clue, can't compare consider both don't work :pac:
The 166 is still as quiet as always sticky calliper on the rear left had me scratching my head for a bit.... Shall try free it out, I have it tightened to my standards anyway :pac:
It's a completely different car with those wheels, the way it should always have been sure I'll show you the sh*t tyres that were on it, I think all mismatched. One was a Runway, the others I've never even heard of :mad: 0 -

Tyres? You should see the nexums! They've now been put on the back, while I quickly save money for 2 turanzas for the rear. Heap of Chinese ****.
May I suggest lump hammer for that caliper....0 -
