  1. You have bought a car. Like every other car on the road if you buy it at the wrong time or hold onto it long enough it will be troublesome. Not being patronizing as you've obviously got car history but it's just the fact I've come to realize. EVERY last car on the road can and will be a pain in the arse at some point!
  2. Be VERY careful taking that out on Nissan paint. It's so thin it's not true. Wetsanding would be bollock clenchingly risky.
  3. No wax No oil No gloss No Matt Won't wear off I'm not sure anything exists!
  4. 2.5k for a clutch and flywheel. Good old stealers
  5. I was in a similar situation. My co-workers were almost literally like family. I'd worked with them since I was 18. New parent company took over who were total broncos and I decided I'd had enough of financial services. Handing notice in is so difficult......I decided on the slightly less conventional route of taking a picture of myself with a Hitler mustache and posting it on Facebook with the caption 'wonder what our German client will make of this on Monday'. Worked pretty well. Now I spend my days up to my arse in oil and microfibres.......life is a LOT more enjoyable! Never chase the dollar my friend (unless it's doing something you love). Otherwise you'll spend your life chasing your own tail.
  6. Oh and for the record Chipsaway are garbage. Uncontrolled conditions Totally limited to Chipsaway products only Wet flatting and finishing newly sprayed paint I'm not saying there isn't some properly skilled boys out there who can made it work on occasion but mobile repairs will never match a shop repair.
  7. Never fear I am hear! Yip I can get pretty much everything done to be honest. Not me doing it but got a pretty good little network of skilled types to call upon. Paint guy works out of our unit and Brian the dent bloke (whom I met through this very club) can come in every Tuesday and Wednesday,
  8. I've never owned a zed and I'm still going strong!
  9. Done Hellrunner and tough mudder but really fancy doing a Tri, Sadly I now spend all day smoking fags and drinking tea whilst grimacing at the repairs someone needs on their car.
  10. If that isn't copied you sir have made my day! Every last word. I've done 3 half marathons now, 2 hellrunner and a tough mudder. Race day ......fine. Every sodding training run EVER.....see above. I Just do the races now. Stuff the training.
  11. Not even reading this thread. Get out Leave Be gone Sell your car, sell your ass.....do what it takes but stand on your feet and no one can ever say you didn't try.
  12. It's not low fuel with quarter of a tank mate. Fuel filters are in the tank and aren't really a serviceable item.
  13. Best Joke Ever! Well from the school yard anyway.
  14. What oil are you using *waits for op to say magnatec*
  15. To be fair if you're going to get away with it anywhere then you'll get away with it on the spoiler. Good luck!
  16. You'll always see a rattle can job mate but you can have a crack. 2 cans of base will be enough.
  17. 250 quid for a DA?!? Half that mate.
  18. Zmanalex or some other learned creature will be along with an immediate answer I'm sure. What oil you using
  19. Is it a 2 stage pearl? Some 2 stages have a black coat then a colour coat. Bizarre way of doing it but that's how they get the paint to pop.
  20. About one of the most common problems of recent times. Tonnes of threads about it. Zmanalex and Cougarstore sell uprated replacements if memory serves.

    Treatment

    Renovo all the way for me. Bloody expensive though! GTechniq smart fabric to waterproof. http://youtu.be/gPDuxxJnUHk http://youtu.be/DCEPobXJM8I
  22. Tim does a QD that I use called MistX which works very well with clay.
