Advice needed.... I am having to replacing my Mobile due to a rather drunken afternoon/day/night on the pop where I broke my V3. So I am thinking about getting something along the lines of a Sony Ericsson K510i. Ive had flip phones and slide phone for the last few years and would like a change. Has ...

dudeone

I had the Schnitzer setup and just changed to KWv3 the schnitzer is good but still a little soft for what I wanted....a lot stiffer over standard though I have the Schnitzer stuff which has done 20k and I am going to be selling it soon.... not sure whether to get it re valved or sell as is for £250...

TBH I feel I need to do something with my ///M as I just dont feel fully confident in her handling, I think I was spoilt with the last car and the chassis it had.

I still feel the car's body roll even after the mods ive done and she just aint right.

dudeone

Just wondering who has lowered their ///M what products you have used and the end result as I am contemplating this as the next mod.

Cheers Dave

I cannot understand the "third party cannot be traced" bit. This is a fully comp policy - if my car is damaged in any way which is not caused by my actions, I expect it to be covered. If someone slashes the roof, backs into me and drives off, causes an accident on the road and I don't get...

So ive just put back my BMW head unit back in and while doing this ive found a weird unconnected thing see pics: http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/3906/plugqq7.jpg & http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/5748/plug1bk2.jpg Its got a twin wired plug attached to it and in the block its got a metal st...

After working a few years ago for a large ins co (nodding dog) I have to say that they will do there utmost to invalidate a claim if you have not crossed all you T's and dotted your I's.

As mentioned they do state that the car has to be road worthy and road legal regardless of your intentions

dudeone

I would say find out the current private value of your car and then knock of around 2 - 3 grand and you will be close to what trade will offer.

dudeone

I believe that 10 & 15 are std to most policy’s, 10: In this case your car should not be on the road in the case of no MOT or TAX so they void your insurance. 15: is more in regards to what happens after the theft if the third party cannot be traced you generally loose your NCD entitlement and i...

Can vouch for the deeper sound and I prefer the looks.

Sorry but I cannot tell you where to get one but I can tell you that they are excellent as mine came with one fitted.

Just wondering is it very easy to remove the headlamp cover, I have seen a headlamp that has the old orange ind fitted and I want to use my clear one so I am wondering how easy the change over would be? Do you have to remove the HL cover or can you remove the ind from the back of the HL? Tnx for the...

dudeone

Nice premuim on the buy it now.

dudeone

Yeh and when you’ve got no TC then of come the lead boots, the ///M has replaced a Boxster S that also had no TC and I had a few incidents in the wet especially on roundabouts that initially made me crap myself and then when it came good made me grin like a nutter but I feel the ///M may just be a l...

dudeone

Well got caught out for the first time since owning the ///M in the rain today and I have to say I drove like miss daisy.........

So just wondering does everyone else have a complete change of driving character when the rain comes down??

dudeone

Yeh it was well faked........

Ive used em once to buy the telescopic aerial which arrived in good quick time.

Quick question in regards to the Multi changer, does it play CDR's etc?

We used to have a problem with a cat but I managed to give it a good soaking and its not been back round since

Hi and welcome Mark, When I got my ///M my first negative impressions where mainly in regards to the suspension and handling. Since buying her ive fitted H&R anit roll bars and a Cosmo Strut brace which I have to say has stiffened the chassis and helped a huge amount with the tramlining I may at...

dudeone

OK OK no stripes on the ///M

dudeone

What ive found is that if you apply the wax and then wait around 5-10 mins then remove with a microfibre cloth there's not that much effort needed.

Since buying my ///M ive been waxing her around 1-2 times every week with Harleys wax.

I am getting the distinct feeling that its a big

Ive been using it now for a little while and its good stuff, I use the microfibre cloths to remove it as it makes life that much easier.

Carn't everyday be Lemans.............

I am thinking about adding to my ///M the Lemans/Viper Stripes, ive dabbled with clip art to see what it looks like.

So what do people think?

Yes or No

dudeone

So would this do the job or do I need X2 of them???

So ive been hearing a few things on the forum about Ultraseal, ive used it on a previous Motorbike which saved me when it got a nail in it so I know its good stuff.

I'd can't see why not, they're all the same through the range (for non M and M models). The only differences are that the early non-Ms got orange indicator lenses.

Help needed,

Can someone please tell me if a set of headlamps of a 2000 ///M Coupe part numbers 8381081 & 82 will fit my 1999 ///M Roadster??

Cheers Dave

I have a ///M and I am just shy of 6ft and there is plenty of room leg and head wise, you dont even need the seat at its lowest setting.

Pug GTI I used to love my 205 1.9 GTI's back in the day, they where an awesome car.

Good Luck with the sale.

So ive cleaned the engine bay and now I want her to look gleaming, in the past ive used WD40 which brings up all the plastic parts which does work very well but I was wondering what every body else uses.

dudeone, is it a fluttering sound you can hear? I have this noise constantly (behind the dials on the dash), I thought it was a fan, but then I read that it could be tappet noise; which I presume is a characteristic rather than a fault (I hope anyway :) ) Nah mine sounds directly dehind the clocks ...

dudeone

My pedal also makes the bl**dy annoying squeaking noise, I have just Checked out the UUC Clutch arm bushes which are reasonable at $20 but the expedited shipping costs are just under $75 what a rip.

Anyone know if these are available in the UK?

dudeone

I cannot comment at the mo but by the weekend I shouldl be able to say about tramlining as I have a strut brace coming very soon.

All the hoods ive done have been black just like this one.

Ive noticed that my hood is looking a bit grey so I am going to give her a good clean and re-color, basically looking for advice.

It'll more than likely be that

Tnx for that it did make me wonder....

dudeone

Just wondering what the constant fan noise is, when I put the ignition on it starts strait up and keep going, sounds to be coming from the front dash area any ideas?

Its not the heater fan as its in a different place and makes a different sound.
