Re: I am looking for some free legal advice?

You could always get the V3M Geordie mafia to menace them with a large pastie. I hear they're a pretty frightening lot.

Sorry I don't have more constructive advice...

Re: Tyre Presure

I think the official figures are 28 front, 30 back - but I always run mine 35 all round. No problems with uneven tyre wear and handles nice and quick that way. Need decent rubber to make it work though.

Re: Rear bumper - Idiots guide

Wear eye protection when you get round to it. You're lying on your back peering up into the darkness with all sorts of crud falling into your eyes - not pleasant. I used a socket on the bolt and a ratchet spanner on the nut, that way you can work both simultaneously without having to keep on relocat...

Re: Yellow Volvo long trip

Looks like an amazing trip - and you are obviously very handy with a camera!

I'm inspired - going to plan my summer holiday doing something similar to your Scandinavian adventure, but maybe not in the Volvo :oops:

Re: Another one bites the dust...

Impressive the way the cabin maintains integrity even when the front end is totally bent - V300's rule

Re: Cooling system pressurising

I'm sure you know what you're talking about, but don't understand how the expansion tank can blow up if it's cap is venting the pressure.

But anyway - c'est la vie - time for a valver then? 8)

Re: Cooling system pressurising

Change your expansion tank cap - it should vent and release pressure, and it obviously isn't - that's why stuff is blowing up.

Dontchalove a cheap fix?! :lol:

Re: Now here's a question.

Another option might be to take the motor to a local specialist and get it reconditioned. This might be stupid money, but could also be surprisingly cheap.

Re: My other car is a.....

My thoughts precisely sm40

I'm a bit nervous about changing the suspension setup though - it works really good the way it is. How does stiffening up the front end affect understeer?

Re: If anyone drifts this one I'll hunt them down and kill them

I did happen to point out they're making a nice £1250 mark-up... :P £2250 is really too much... pretty silly really as ebay generally gives you an idea as to how much things are worth, and it went for the right kinda money before! Agreed - it'll never sell for that kind of money. Take a look on Ret...

You can have my floor trays gratis - but you pay the Royal Mail parcels fees. Got a ton of work on so might be a week before I post. PM me your address.

Re: Respraying plastics?

Bodyshops use special paint with high elasticity so it flexes without cracking. Painted bumpers are easy to do badly
