    funking hell im bored and tired *****HELP NEEDED!!!*****

    *depressive rant start*

    its been really quiet on here recently, its usually several new posts every 15mins. where is everyone?

    also im worried about the state of my car :( im gonna get a mech friend of a friend to look at it and sort the rear discs (i still cant get the ****ing hub nut off even with a brakers bar!!!! ) which i’ll obviously have to pay him for.
    then after that its going to need the aux belt and oil & filter doing which will prob cost a nice amount. he does do it on the cheap for me, but still its gonna be like 4 or 5 hrs + just doing the belt and money isnt plentiful at the min.

    if thats all that needs doing i'll be amazed as there's a kind of tappety/knocking noise from the engine i think, so god knows what that is gonna cost.

    at this rate i dont know if it'll be ready for FCS :(


    *depressive rant finish*

    front ones were a piece of piss to do, did them both (inc new pads etc) in a couple of hours.

    rear ones are taking the piss, got the guy mentioned before coming looking tonight.

    very very strange

    Try using a blowlamp to melt the nylock insert, can then spray plus gas on them and let it penetrate in....or are you just being weak ;)
