  1. the nuts on these wheels need a little tool thing, so they're pretty safe, and myoem wheels are starting to look well past it, so they should be safe (fingers crossed...)
  2. aye, the keis for my normal wheels are the same. was quite funny when I got to my mates garage, I went to show him what was up, and the nut just undid by hand... must have loosened it when I thought it was starting to shear anyway, got them all on now
  3. cool bananas man... should be sweet
  4. yup... they sure are... it won't be going back on next winter that's for sure... does anyone even steal wheels anymore?
  5. 3 down, one to go... but my locking nut with only half a shaft is welded on and the key feels like it's gonna slip/shear when I try and put some pressure on. waiting to go and see my mate... think it needs a gun on it so it can be pushed onto the wheel instead of twisting with the brace
  6. hi, I got mine from a scrappy, but I think it was from an mb. I do know that lings parts fan still get them, or at least they could a few months ago. it says contact us on their site - send them an email to check.
  7. Online for me too - get 12 months for mine, coz if I do six then I end up with MOT, tax and insurance in a few weeks of each other
  8. mine does it if I turn the ignition on and try.to start straight away. never happens if I let the fuel pump charge first
  9. I can add the dc2 manifold and down pipe to the list of bits.that fit.
  10. prettycool bud mint for 30 quid too
  11. looks good chief... now just the familliar wait for the snow and ice to go to see what difference it makes
  12. watched it on the beeb, so never as involved as seeing every lap, but was pretty good all in all - Hamilton must be chuckling at making the move to Mercedes and everyone thinking he was daft! good to see kimi doing well as well - did you see him on the podium?... looked like he was going to lamp vettle for spraying champagne in his face!
  13. that sounds frapping crackers nice one fella
  14. i had no luck with mine (neither had garages by the look of the way the plastic had been rived over the screw head) until i got a ratchet screwdriver... lets you keep the weight on. and loads of lube...
  15. can't wait to get back to the big grippies instead of the 15s. and cheers
  16. I know although every time I start thinking about it, the snow comes back.... shhh...... 7 degrees C is the magic temperature, and we're still not even hitting it yet, let alone on mornings for the drive to work in fact this is next Tuesday....
  17. Tubs had a good wash yesterday for the first time in ages, and was looking tasty so I took a couple of pics: pesky lamp post...
  18. nice one Dave - she looks like a goodun always thought it's hard to tell the difference between type r and non on these ones. Karen will be jealous, ths is her fave civic. looks like a mint example too.
