Today I dumped the K&Ns off the V8 and put the standard airbox back in place and gave it a direct cold air feed (in a V8 Sierra stylee). No more nasty resonating noises produced, which is nice. So the engine bay now looks like this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3250/2835421031_ac79fdf8cb.jpg And thanks to Dave Plowman the outside now looks like...

noticed in a noise in my aging E36 a while ago and now it's annoyingly loud! i reckon i got a rear wheel bearing gone. now i was tempted to do it myself but after reading up on it and remembering how badly i ****ed up a brake pad change on the MK1 MR2 i had a few years ago i put it past my skill level. mechanic mate of mine said bout £150 to sort it which i guess aint to terrible. might get...

Handbrake now lifts up like an old 900 did before it bites but at least it still holds. Will have to get a price for it when it goes in for the oil service in the next couple of weeks. -- Carl Robson Get cashback on your purchases Topcashback http://www.TopCashBack.co.uk/skraggy_uk/ref/index.htm Greasypalm http://www.greasypalm.co.uk/r/?l=1006553

I appear to have bought a 156 2.0 Veloce 2 Selespeed Sportwagon. Black, with tan leather. 56 plate, but some kind of dodgy import that sat around in a warehouse for a few years before sale, but only 9.7 miles and 1 owner from new. Bargain-tastic price, too. Collecting this weekend.....

If you want to wait and watch the highlights, close this post heh :-) What the flying ****? I'm not even a Hamilton fan, ever since I was young I've gone for the Ferraris since back when Alesi and Burger used to drive for them! I just liked the car back then heh. I wouldn't be upset if Hamilton won over all because he's British an I can't help but want it a bit. My alliegence isn't very...

Saw a lorry load being hauled souyth down the M6 this morning. They look pretty decent. Also saw a black new-shape Mustang with a nice loud exhaust caning it up the other way. I actually felt it go past despite me being in lane 1 and it being on the other carriageway -- Abo

http://snipr.com/bigfastshed For those who can't be arsed to click the link, it's a Carlton 24v Estate. Not super cheap, but equally, looks like quite a good one. Not FSH, but equally looks pretty well maintained - lack of a FSH on something like that isn't a huge issue if you know the cars and can tell it's a goodun. I'd want a good few hundred quid off that price though, especially...

People always consider donating money a great way to help a worthy cause. Cars that are not being used make good donations, enabling many less fortunate people to have a means of transportation. In order to avoid exploitation, certain rules are framed that are binding on the association receiving the car donation. Organizations must submit a written acknowledgement of the receipt of the...
