Mondeo ST diesel? My mate has one and it's very nice inside, nice to drive... and massive! £8.5k. I wouldn't have a golf... im not a fan, and the golf's i've been in have very boring interiors. Old CTR and current Leon's have similarly crap interiors. New shape Civic type R has a great interior though. Never been in a modern focus so cant comment there. How about 4x4? Get an X5, Lexus RX, you can even get a leggy Range Rover for £12k now. Alternatively, Merc C-Class or E-Class?

Sold pending payment.

Hi, For sale is a pair of pre-facelift custom LED front reflectors. I designed and fitted the electronics myself. The LED's are drilled through the reflector body and are glued in place. The reflector was then filled with clear silicone sealant to protect the electronics from moisture etc. I was attempting to start a little business on here providing these (see links below), but the availability of the reflectors was an issue, so i have since changed my mind and am no longer doing them. Therefore, this is the only pair that i have got. Also, please don't ask if i can do these for facelift models - i cant. I get asked this about once a week! (So if anyone else fancies having a stab, there's a market for the facelift reflectors!). viewtopic.php?f=38&t=34635&hilit=led* viewtopic.php?f=32&t=33081&hilit=led* To fit these, you need to take your bumper off to get access, and then tap into the sidelight power source (i.e. the first setting on your lights). I will provide you with the wire and the connectors for this. Price is £30 + £2.50 P&P.

Roll cage obviously Brilliant.

This is an interesting idea Tarmac!

What are you making?

'Yeah, Northwood's in the house now...!' I watched that on Tuesday night too...

How much did you pay for this car, if you dont mind me asking...? Also, can anyone remember what the other topic that this car appeared in was? I cant find it and have been searching for 10 minutes!!

Yep, sounds just like ABS that...

+1 The garage will have a book of swatches - just hold them up against your car...

+1 in all my cars i think i rest my foot on the clutch pedal... the pedal doesn't move at all...

Got a standard Y-Pipe incl flange things from a 2006, 20k mile zed. Yours for £20 + P&P if interested.

Welcome bud... what issues?

Yes, or even easier with a wheel off. Make sure you get the straw/nozzle as far into the rubber boot as possible.

Very impressive.

Hang in there bud. Dont go reducing the price too soon. I got £8k for mine 3 months ago, with all my mods removed. The only advise i can give though, is dont bother with PH or eBay... i tried for months to sell mine on there, and then i thought i'd bite the bullit and pay for it to go on autotrader... and then within 2 weeks it was gone. Nice car, and i'd have it off you if my circumstances were different. GLWS.

And some reflectors, Josh

Yep, its a sliding roof boat. I almost found that out with a you've been framed moment... Joelle was driving and i was stood up, leaning back on the sliding part, when it slid back with my weight and i almost landed on my arse! Thankyou, good sir.

Well, im back from the lakes... i managed to rent a little motorboat - 2 hours for £36, which wasn't too bad. I didnt look for any jetskiing as we didnt really have the weather, so we spent most of the time in the spa there, which was nice! I did keep my eye out for you Mart, but i didnt spot a single zed the whole time.

Brilliant.

Thats a really good post mate and eye opening for those of us who dont know. I'd never heard of glue pulling before but will keep my eye out next time i need something sorting.

Car sounds nice... get some pics up of it on here!

Yep, you are right, it's a bumper off job. However this is a very simple job and can be done in minutes. Turn your wheels all the way to one side Using a stubby screwdriver, remove the 2 screws from your wheel arch liner (right on the edge of the arch) Remove the 2 bolts from under the front corner of the bumper at the bottom (Pliers may be required to hold the nut on the inside as they're sometimes difficult to remove). Peel back the arch liner, and undo the 2 bolts which are facing vertically, where the bumper joins the arch (socket extender bar is useful here) Repeat on the other side Remove the 6 bolts from underneath the bumper at the front (pliers may be required again here). Remove the 6 pop studs under the bonnet Bumper will just lift off. Headlight is held on by 4 bolts i believe. Socket extender required again. Unclip the headlight from the loom with a flat blade screwdriver in the connection. Refit is the same as removal in reverse.

Very sorry to hear this pal. My fiance lost her mum very unexpectedly early last year. It still affects day to day life now - we were in a restaurant last night and a song came on which made her cry. It is the most difficult thing in the world you'll ever have to go through. The only advice i can give, coming from my experience, is to surround yourself with family. It will be painful to be with them at first as you know someone's missing, but together you will get stronger and remember the good times. Don't let it stop you from living your life as you did, but know it is gonna take time to stop the pain. All the best mate.

100% guarantee it will be the rear drop links mate. ZMANALEX sells uprated ones on here but they're quite pricey. I paid £25 for a pair of aftermarket ones off eBay, which will probably only last a year or so until they start making the noise again, but it was the best option for me at the time. I would just buy a pair and take it to the garage and get them to swap them.
