    Insurance Tips (£186 for me this year, woohoo!)

    my quote was cheaper for parking in the street instead of the drive, bizarrely enough. their logic for this? If a car is parked in the street, the keys could be in any number of houses. If its in a driveway the chances are the keys are in that house. insurance companies work in mysterious ways.

    Tools?

    will you use most of a 200pc set? My draper 50 pc has sockets I've never used. Tbh I'd buy a small good socket set containing the popular sockets (10mm to 20mm would be fine for a car) & spend the rest on good quality individual items. just my 2p :-)

    a Trio of GW 200's - Broxden r'about Perth 0840 today

    Saw one heading south towards stirling off the roundie whilst i was queueing in traffic northbound. Very distinctive nose on the GW200 with the black and white so flicked the lights - anyone on here? Literally a minute later saw another one heading round the roundabout! common as muck...

    Knock noise but only after car wash

    hmm, its not there all the time so this might be it! Think i'll coppaslip up the pads anyway to keep them from squealing. at least if it is this its nothing to worry about :) Cheers

    Knock noise but only after car wash

    was that for me roy? you might be right. the best way i could describe it was a noise like one of the wheel nuts was really loose and it was tinking about inside the wheel.

    Knock noise but only after car wash

    i was (maybe still am) having a slight metallic "tinkling" which i can hear at slow speeds from OSR. One of my wheel arch liner screws had come out during a recent detail (i always get in about it under the arches :) ) and one had come off. Replaced the item today but no idea if this has solved...

    Arch clean down

    hey, thanks for the pics there. it was a bit weird actually, browsing your thread at lunchtime i saw the wee clips that hold on the arch liners and knew i'd seen one recently. when i got home i went to the side of the road outside my house and found the wee plastic clip i'd found at the weekend...

    Hey Daz, It is a doddle to use mate and it leaves the paint looking nice and vibrant. I got the kit from Polished Bliss and you'll get free delivery and some free MF towels with that amount of order. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/werkstat-acrylic-kit-cat1.html Dave
