You can pack it with some acoustic foam to soak up the bass, but I'd be tempted to fit it first and see what's what. There's a pretty good chance some of the surrounding plastics are going to resonate anyway, so you may find yourself revisiting the space after a week or so.

You should probably check that space for small animals, birds, children from time to time

By mild I meant it's not alien blood TBH I always assumed that any topical speicalist cleaner like that or tar remover or bug remover not only shifts the deposit but also strips back anything else (which is where the unneccsary QD comes in, until you do the car again ) so you're saying there are some of these topical cleaners which are LSP safe? I'm suspicious...

Hmmmm, you've not missed much Maybe a decon/stripping shampoo, or do you just go with fairy liquid? Errr, a hoover or steam cleaner? Engine degreaser? As I've long suspected you're clearly a pimp for Gyeon and Gtechniq, as such I might have expected to see Gyeon Q2M Prep on there.

I've been browsing little city cars and the Twingo Renaultsport Cup keeps popping up and the Suzuki Swift VVT Sport.

The big stuff's been listed, but there's other ways to spend it. You could of course take the Zed for a road trip through the alps or up around the North West of Scotland before the snow sets in A nice bottle of scotch, a big bag of yayo and an open minded russian call girl to hold them in the passenger seat

The old 67 fastback in there Cool vid!

I only ever watch the 15 hour version, I grow submariner's beard first, get one of those white jumpers they wear, turn off all the lights and watch it in the bath with a dripping tap for atmosphere

Asian cinema has some classics. Ichi The Killer is completely mental. Presumably everyone has seen Battle Royale before it was ripped off and became the The Hunger (for an original story) Games? The Park Chan-Wook trilogy is really good, Sympathy For Mr Vengeance, Oldboy (not the american one) and Lady Vengeance.

Dead Man's Shoes is absolutely brilliant Chris, great shout Swingers is a favourite too. When I was in LA I had to go to two places, In-N-Out due to The Big Lebowski and The Dresden from Swingers (also did Mulholland Drive on the movie tour). The lads outside The Dresden, I'm shooting Rubbs photo inside, but it was the best I could manage in low light. There was an open mic night in there and the singers were brilliant, none of your karaoke rubbish. "This place is dead anyway." Sorry for off topic OP

Oooh films is such a tough one, especially offbeat ones as some choices will seem really obvious to anyone with more than a multiplex interest in cinema. Here's a few of my favourites that spring to mind. All the Coen Brothers' movies are good, with particular mega thumbs up to Raising Arizona* (comedy drama) Miller's Crossing (old gangsters) Big Lebowski* (comedy noir) Burn After Reading* (comedy) O Brother, Where Are Thou? (comedy drama) Other modernish stuff: Brick (modern day film noir) Sightseers* (black comedy) Chopper (crime biopic) Bound (lesbian crime, oooh errr) Memento (crime drama) Glengary Glen Ross (drama) LA Confidential* (crime) The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (comedy) Mars Attacks* (black comedy) If you don't mind old movies: The Maltese Falcon (crime) The Apartment* (comedy) Dr Strangelove... (black comedy) The Sting* (con man) For the person who can live with subtitles: Mesrine - Parts 1&2 (crime) Dobermann (crime) Festen* (drama) Untouchable* (heart warmer) Das Boot (super tense submarine drama) La Haine (crime) Irreversible (drama) None of these are what I would call family viewing, some containt quite graphic violence. Anything with an * is something you could comfortably get away with with the Mrs. I know that sounds a bit sexist and lots of girls like great movies, but in my experience girls and boys can often like quite different things

CarPro Spotless This was from a tip off faceballz for dealing with water spots (chemically) on gloss black vinyl where clay wouldn't be good. It's pretty mild I'm lead to believe but it got a generous rinsing after use anyway. Used after TBW and rinse, before open hose rinse and towel dry. Good product. After rinse and towel dry, no other products used, spots gone. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-and-exterior/carpro-spotless-water-spot-remover/prod_1325.html

I've got a big round one, fills the palm and feels satisfying to rest my hand on. It does get rather greasey but bit of a rub and it's good to go.

That's cool

Of course the social media element is faddy and there'll be people who click "share" and that's all, but, "Pre-ice bucket, the MND Association would receive on average £200,000 a week in donations. From 22 to 29 August, it received £2.7m... ...In the UK, other charities have benefited with Macmillan Cancer Support raising £3m from challenges. Water Aid has seen a spike in donations, including £47,000 in one day - 50% higher than it ever received in a single day before. The money came in part from people bemoaning the water wasted in the challenges." - Source BBC They're not insignificant sums and the irony of WaterAid making record receipts at the same time as Ice Bucket challenge won't be lost on anyone It's much easier to leap on the bandwagon than start it up, but even a bandwagoner is a step up from apathy.

Because that is the problem, poverty and an ever widening distribution in wealth. Is the success of ISIS due to a fanatical belief of a god, or is it due to poverty driving people to look for any false hope?? Religion is abstract human concept we have made up to control each other. It thrives in poverty because it gives people hope. Trying to patch up the problems with charity will do nothing to solve the underlying issues. The real question is 'Is my life more worthy than those around me??' Judging by the actions of Australia versus Germany, the whole world can see just which of those two countries is more 'civilised'. I'm sorry, I don't believe that until there's a global redistribution of wealth, people doing decent things for one another is a pointless thing.

Being safe & secure and doing a little to help out other people are not two things which are mutually exclusive, much as you've tried to paint that picture above, it's simply a fallacy. A person doesn't have to have surrendered everything they have to have made a positive impact on someone else. What does it matter whether the hypothetical, unprovable question of if "the privileged sympathisers living their comfortable, privileged life in their comfortable home, in a wealthy country, would actually be so sympathetic if they were in that situation" is a correct theory or not? Whether someone with only a tenner gives a homeless person a fiver or whether a billionaire gives that same homeless person a fiver, the reciever is still a tenner up

What absolute horseshit, have quick look on here for threads asking for help and the responses they get from advice to other members viewing cars at opposite ends of the country, all for free and with no expectation of reward or return. There's plenty of other threads about sick relatives, charity efforts, money raising and this place is just a car forum. If you only care about yourself, that's fine, but dont pretend to yourslef you're like that because everyone else is and that it's ok.

Spare tyre sub yo

I'm not usually a warmonger but the vacuums created in unstable countries are an opportunity for any lunatic to arm up and go mental, fundamentally I'm on board with Dan about curing the problem rather than the symptoms but there's always room for a tactical effort as well as a strategic one. As for posting on social media, I don't see why that's a bad thing? Even if a tiny fraction of people who see it are moved to do something or donate or moan at their MP or sign a petition or drop off tins of beans at Calais or Greece or Italy, where's the harm?

Isn't it easier to get two and flog the good 'un on fleabay?

That's nearly in as bad a state as Matt's wheels

Good on ya for bringing it back Wasn't Pritchard doing a load of digging on NA builds? I bet he'd love to hear about all your new goodies.

See Alex's post #8, if it's running fine and not giving you grief, I say let it run. You can't undo the damage and you'd be mad to spend money going looking for it. Just check the oil regularly from cold, after being stood on a flat surface overnight is the easiest I've found. Have you got roadside assitance and recovery?
