beerbelly

wow I have been in the car body repair business for over 30 years now and have always had a love of cobras .that is impressive

tho I do agree lose the front spoiler and lower the front a tad and maybe blend the rear arches . your a talented man

beerbelly

just have to get used to it mate nothing to do with it being a balanced car in fact the opposite . your reference to an old viva isn't far off the mark tbh

smooth roads are fine but bumpy back lanes will never be its natural territory

beerbelly

if the nylon coating around the inner cable inside the outer sleeve has any cracks in it no amount of oil will free it .back in the olden days cables were just a wire inside a steel spiral wrap then coated in a plastic sheath. oil worked fine in them .things are made with a lifespan nowadays I remem...

beerbelly

we oiled ours with a professional motorbike cable oiler forces it through under pressure .it lasted about a month before going stiff and jerky again think a new cable was about £20 and took 15 mins to fit lovely and light now

Here is my set up, quoted from my journal :) So most of these mods were done over the past few months and some at the end of summer last year. The first one is actually one of my dad's ideas and he did the mod first (don't really want to admit that but he does have some uses). A small, pop up scree...

beerbelly

our airbag light used to come on every time I drove it common consensus was when I adjusted the seat for my size there was a momentary loss of power in the loom under the seat causing the light to come on .so I bought a reset tool great. then a friend said can you adjust the seat without the ignitio...

beerbelly

what flavour does benacol come in

beerbelly

By dismantling it into it's individual components, you could actually get an Actifry into a Z3 boot. Also, what is an Actifry? :lol: :lol: :lol: it would have fit if I had taken it out of the box the point I was making is the merc boot is no better and considerably worse once its filled with folded...

beerbelly

I just might put my Z on E'bay and or Auto Trader and look for a Mercedes 230 SLK Triptronic Kompressor - Tin-top :roll:.[/quote] I wouldn't bother mate I have one of those as well and the rear wheel wont fit in the boot on that either :? .tbh on a recent shopping trip with the roof down I couldn't ...

its a pro anti stonechip product cant remember the name now but when I worked in a ford dealerships bodyshop many years ago I had to fit a new chassis leg and inner wing to a vw polo and I had to coat a seam of this stuff over the panel joins it was applied with a air powerd mastic gun and came outa...

[quote="TR4man"]I don't understand why the fact that it is a CAT D means that it has no service history :? because if its bought from a salvage auction direct from the insurers you don't get any paperwork. you even have to apply to dvla for a v5 you could ask bmw for copies of any service ...

beerbelly

advert states it was a cat d so that would explain no service history and possibly the badly set bonnet gap he does say he has owned it for 4 years so if he,s a trader he,s had it a while

beerbelly

if you clean the no plate holder and the back of the no plate with cellulose thinner before applying the double sided tape it will stick and stay on iv fitted thousands this way and never had one drop off

beerbelly

[quote="Fawdy"]After the above I'm not sure I dare ask this

usually if when unplugging the maf and it not making any difference then the maf is considered goosed

beerbelly

beerbelly

google auto trimmers in your area mate not sounding to sarcastic but that's stating the obvious i'm not completely stupid! :dunce: done all that already!! but normally on forums people have experienced the same and normally find some one who is fairly close and normally recommend a place the other ...

beerbelly

crikey its not hard to open a can of worms on here is it

beerbelly

google auto trimmers in your area

beerbelly

personally I wouldn't use any oiled air filter ie k+n ect as if you over oil the filter by even a small amount it can coat the maf and cause other problems the oe type filter from a local auto parts type store is very cheap and does an excellent job .and you will get no noticeable gain in power with...

beerbelly

re the valuations of convertibles its the same over on the slk forums there still paying $10k plus for old late 90,s slk in the usa where here in the uk you can pick a nice one up for £2.5k

beerbelly

beerbelly

its the same on a lot of cars you can switch the one touch operation on and off this way after the window reaches the end of its movement keep your finger on the button for 5 secs and it either turns it on or off

beerbelly

if you think about it it will be open with no vacuum pipe connected as vacuum in the inlet side of an engine decreases as the revs rise the valve opens as revs rise simples :D . my 330ci had the same thing but was stuck closed I just removed the vac pipe and sprayed wd40 at it and wiggled it a bit u...
