Haha you'd think that wouldn't you!? I'd be getting stuck in more if I owned a ramp and sheltered space I must admit! New backbox for £25, get in! Should be going on tonight along with the MG ARB as long as my bro's gaff doesn't suddenly fill up with cars, that's happened a few times before!

Result!!!! and what a price, thank heavens for rare parts as not everyone knows what they got or more importantly what its worth ....

Bargain, only cost you getting rimmed!

Ollie !!,photos please lol.

Are you saying the Titanic sank because it also had a leaky windscreen? I must have missed that bit in the film where the condensation blocked their view of the iceberg

It does, if you hit "more reply options" you can attach files from there.

Ok to the new year it's time for a new bit carbon what else lol DAM PHOTOBUCKET WHATS THIS NEW XXXX ALL ABOUT LOL

MG ZS 180 rear ARB

Same here, aging seems to be helping my cause too! They are most excellent aren't they!

Name and Shame when you finally get it back from him finished or not....And i like the i will get round to it comment when he asks for money, thats exactly what you should do mate...

Also received a nice looking letter today Need to redo the Quarterpanels again and then put the stickers on

Got insurance sorted through price comparison website. I have started with £1500 for Third Party Fire and Theft only but have to start somewhere. Hopefully it will go down after a year

Welcome to the 1.8T fold Lovely comfy bus for munching miles. This time next year it'll be on the deck with a roof rack and a massive set of Rotas

How come? Is your postcode an area that's always on fire or something?

Was easier than that, he text me this morning to say he's got me a back box and he'll let me know when to go up this evening, asked about the ARB in my reply and he said he'd do it at the same time while it's on a ramp, sorted!

christ mate there a bargain!! im really liking the look of them now :/ i want a set!!

Bargaaaain!

Look forward to seeing the kit. And defo give a honest opinion as always

Oh sh!t... There are too many frauds out there. Could have been a lot worse though if you got caught Hope you get things sorted out soon

So managed to stumble across a true bargin the other week. as knight called them Hen's Teeth! Optional Extra OEM Fog Lamps. Saw a add on ebay for a front bumper and in the bumper were the fogs. I dont think the guy knew what they where because once I offered him £30 he had them posted to me straight away. should fit them this weekend along with repairing my rear Tyre thanks to a pot hole, hoping it hasn't damaged my rim and only deflated the tyre. Fingers cross! either way what ever the weather i will upload a couple photos of the car with her new VTIS kit on as i need your amazing opinions and thoughts

Jebus! That's really messed up!

WTF, cnut.

The main question is did you do it online or over the phone when you took out the policy, if you did it via a live phone call they have no right and you will be able to appeal, if you did it online it will be put down to a computer error and you have no rights. I asked my boss who has an elite law degree that was his answer.....

Not the first time Tom's heard that.

I knew you would comment on my thread in no time I am very happy with top end power of my MB3 but I want a bit more bottom end, it seems torqueless before 4000rpm. I didn't know the Z8 and Y8 are the same castings, again I haven't done enough research... On that link, did matey use another ECU or was it just a standard one for the original head? (before the mini-me conversion) Oh and how is your new engine coming along?

A late christmas.... I now need to decide what colour of wheel nut i need! Thinking about these...http://www.funkypower.co.uk/catalogue.php?make=HONDA&model=CIVIC&year=1996-00+CIVIC&level1=WHEELS+%26+TYRES&level2=WHEEL+ACCESSORIES&level3=LUG+NUTS&id_product=7473

I think you definitely need to get trading standards or insurance watchdog involved, either the insurance company or the broker has broken the terms of the contract. In my view that entitles you to a full refund, whether you can is a different matter but it's definitely worth making a lot of noise about it.

That would be quite a bonus!

If you do, let me know who it's with, mines up for renewal in April, could do with the saving

Would have thought it would be showing by now if it had been cancelled but I could be wrong, probably worth while to keep checking it to be sure!

I'd say it doesn't count, as it clearly states 7 clear days from when it's delivered to your address, which it hasn't been! Might need to get in touch with trading standards or whatever firm it is that deals with insurance companies?

Damn! There's more than one way to skin a cat though!

I just want to tick off everything on my current shopping list for the MB3. Ticked off alloys on New Year's Day so I'm off to a good start! - Front lip - Alloys - Lowering springs - Short ram air filter - Exhaust backbox - Headunit and speaker upgrade - A general tidy up of the exterior Once I get the MB6 in a few months I'll have to add a shopping list for that too.

i've had it for a few months, with it you need to brush it everytime you use it as its real lambs wool, it is massive and holds an unholy amount of water. you need to let them dry properly especially the inside. i normally wash it out under the tap to make sure there is no more soap left in the mitt, wring the mitt dry as much as you can then put a small pole (i use wood) and hang either outside under a shelter or in the garage or shed where it wont matter thats its dripping onto, once left overnight or 2 nights i bring it in and put it on the radiator to finish drying they are expensive but are very good and will last if you treat them right

Big thank you to all who voted for me been a lot of hard work with set backs along the way thanks all hopefully more to come in 2014

Oh I wish I'd listened to that video before my COTY vote. Sounds incredible mate!

I'm going to throw this one into a thread for the second time in as many days.

PASSENGERS SIDE (BIT FIDDLY) Follow the same steps as the drives side as the only real difference here is the fuse box.You have a small fuse box for the abs as i said i deleted mine so just removed that completely and threw it in the bin so im not sure on how to tuck that im affraid im sure you would need to extend the wires off the main fuse box to relocate it behind the wing there will be a guide on the tinterweb somewhere. Right so when youve got thloom lose and ready to.be tucked you need to again push through bulkhead and then out through the door loom again so as i said follow the previous guide. When iside the car remove the fan assembly make it so much easier and gives you a shed loda space. FUSE BOX/ENGINE LOOM TUCK. Right you need to buy som 6gauage power wire for this as you will need to extend the loom from the + on batter to the box. Losen the 3 ¹0mm bolts holding the fuse box in and split the box and you will see 4 plugs disconnect these as tjey need to go through the bulk head.

DRIVERS SIDE TUCK..... On the firewall you will see a rubber grommet that your loom goes through remove this and all the sleeving tjat covers the wires. Also remove all the electrical tape from the wires. Disconnect the two main wiring plugs (by the turret) and the abs plug (ive deleted mine) remove all the wiring from any clips or holders along the wing also undo the earth located behind the headlight 10mm bolt. By now the loom should be fully lose. Push all the loom through the fire wall so it is in the cabin and then slice the door loom grommet and push through (recommend a welding wire tapped to a plug so you can trace them through). Then run the loom along the inside off the wing and cable tie it up but make sure to tape it up. Locate the earth to a clean contact on the wing and poke the light loom under the headlight and hey preston one loom tucked

Right i dont have any pics at the moment but ill type up a how to for the tuck.on here then do a proper one at a later date.. First thing you need to do is remove the battery then front bumper,head lights,wings and the side skirts (we also removed the bonnet but this is personal preference). Inside the car remove the glovebox,air con heater and all othe plastics/fan on the passengers side along with the panel under the steering wheel also the two cornes plastics (one covers the ecu the other the bonnet release) thats pretty much all the parts you need to remove.

Thanks guys its been alot of work in not that much time. Been a few times ive thought about giving up on the old girl but i dont think i can tbh. Trying to keep it as unique as i can tbh and so far seems to be going well. Few bits off to bofy shop weekend then try to fit me camber arms the sell my kidney for the new lump and were away lol
