    Service Schedule, Cambelt etc.

    I am having the same thought my self, my car will be 5 years old in September some time away I know but will come around fast. Only done just over 17,000 miles but my only worry is my belts may have deteriorated due to not being used very much, only done something silly like 1,000 in the last...

    Where are you from? (Part 2 - Map!)

    :001_huh: I have no idea, not changed anything since I set it up. Also noticed that I have been removed from the map :nope: Wonder if we have hit some kind of limit as when I logged in I noticed it said 167/100, I will see what I can do.

    Driving road Crete

    I have been on that road when I was on holiday out there, but not in a car was in a bus from the airport to the place we was staying at and it was very scary especially as it was pitch black :jase: Had cars, bikes and all sorts flying past.

    That's why they are so good at "blowing smoke up your ass" when you try and buy a car :lol:

    Water in top mounts?

    Simple enough Jcs, no special tools required. Wiper arm is removed by pushing the arm down where the perforations are and pulling upwards. If you get stuck I'm just down the road.

    New Cornish Memeber

    Welcome, not sure if I meet you before. Went to a few cliosport SW meets so I might have. Yeah not many down this way, used to always see a nice LY F1 at Truro College at nights and a blue 197 down Redruth way but I think the owner sold it.

    Anyone got any photos of cup alloys in white??

    I'm not going to split hairs over this, from the pictures you have linked its almost impossible to tell. However they look to be satin black. Like I said, if you find ones that are gloss black then they have been refurbished in that colour, it was never an option on the 197 or 200. Look on the...

    Anyone got any photos of cup alloys in white??

    I don't get what point you are trying to make. The OEM speedlines that are on the 197 were never offered in gloss black as an option, there is only one paint code for the black speedlines on a 197 and that's is satin black. If yours are gloss black then they have been refurbished in that colour.

    Anyone got any photos of cup alloys in white??

    On the 200 yes, But not the 197. Which is what I associate the speedlines with. The 200 speedlines don't deserve the name imo :p

    Anyone got any photos of cup alloys in white??

    The white speedlines are painted gloss and if the place that is refurbishing them uses PPG paints then the paint code is 229.019. The black speedlines are however satin black and not glossy.

    car cover??

    I have a tailor made car cover and mine says the following. However the stains that were on mine have not come out and I am reluctant to use anything stronger because I don't want to strip the cover of any protecting that's been applied.

    Wheel Bolts

    Hey Roy, Had any problems with them rusting yet? I did my spare four about a year ago and when I put them on the car the other day they have rusted and made a rite mess. Something to watch out for :swear:

    Continental Contisport 3 & 5's - advice please!

    Just out of interest, how the hell did you let the tyres get that bad? Not judging you however that could have been a very costly mistake in more than one way.

    Massively torn...

    You are definitely not alone, lots of people appear to keep the car a year then change for various reasons. I have had mine since new (4 years) and I am now bored of the car, to hard to drive smooth when not going for it so I am changing to either an Audi TTS or 370z in the next year. I was...

    Thefts to order.

    At the end of the day what can you do? Not allot tbh, most are armed with a weapon of some sort and unless you have a bat and are able to make the first hit count then you are screwed. Police cut backs means less police patrolling given the scum bags even more opportunity to do this, and for...

    What's wrong with people?

    You say that, but people do! Some people just something for nothing, when ever I buy anything though I do try to get a little off the asking price, all depending on the price though. If its cheap to start with I don't bother and just pay what they are asking. Never been messed around by...
