sounds like a nice earner there... If you charge her £30, she'll be happy cos it's 'half price' and you'll be happy cos you can get it done in half an hour, in theory no rusted bolts to do battle with or anything! Everyone's a winner! Very Happy

its dorothy though, known her all my life and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her (she introduced my mum to my dad) .. in fact that bitch caused me to be here! Shes gettign charged double!

her wee arse son stole my name as well, I was meant to be david but he popped out a few weeks before me so I was Christopher which is better anyway.

Its a 53 plate and not xenon headlights, just normal bulbs. i thought it was a blown coil or summat.

does the bumper realy have to come off or are renault being anal again?

Ford said that the bumpers had to come off my brothers KA to change the headlight bulb and they wanted £60 too.

I did it for him in the end, it took a couple of minutes and the bumpers never came off. (had to squeez my hand in to do it mind)

well i am gonna try by goign up through the wheel arch, on the look of it theres no way you can get to it without pulling the engine out or the bumper off.

I was going to go to the garden and get the subaru wheels done but it's raining heavily now. So i've bought a couple more bits for my bike build and have been scouting ebay for general tat.

Stripping, priming and re-painting in gold instead of silver. They've been sitting in my garden for about 8 months now.

They were free so i don't care. Even if i sell them refurbed for £50 then it's a bonus.

Went to college this morning to be shown around the New campus.

Tis very impressive. The building is only about 3 years old and used to be owned by Nortel Networks so it's pretty swanky.

Tis massive too. Has shops and everything inside. Also the filthy Health and Beauty girls get there own salon with viewing windows, so I know where I'm gonna spend most of my spare time with my candid camera Laughing

Downsides are it's a bitch to get to, took 1 hour in the traffic to get about 7 miles Sad

Also the fooking speedbumps they have, grrrr. My exhaust scrapped along them, even at 2mph Sad

Time to raise it.

Then I cleaned said car, polished it, only to drive 5 mins down the road and be forced into a muddy puddle...

Oh well.
