My Aero HOT had loads of upgrades which took it to 304bhp. Ultra reliable, 34mpg possible on a run. Smoked all the local BMW hero's. The Noobtune remap just has to be the best tuning mod for any petrol Saab, plus you get nice readouts on the SIP.

Cord Fourteener Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Just exploring the new rules: took a drive out to Deganwy for a walk with the boy. Well, I came so he could spot boats and trains, heck I'd not even found the beach and drove past and along with two Volvo 7/940 estates. That's me done for spotting interesting stuff for the day.

N19 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Just looking on the Islington website. Pay and display charges vary from £2 to £6 per hour, depending on how busy the area is, and then an extra £5 an hour for a diesel vehicle. So you could be paying £11/hour for parking!

brownnova Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 So the Pontiac just needs the track rod end doing before it’s retest. I was going to farm it out as I didn’t have a ball joint splitter, but my BiL says he left one in my garage. So decision made I’ll do that in the morning.... in other news I had a phone call to say they were erecting scaffolding at my house for a some windows going in next week and was that ok. As long as it doesn’t cause any access issues says I. Right so that’s me not able to get at my tools... so the track rod end job is off... and it’s now too late to give my local garage a quick call to see if they can squeeze me in tomorrow for the track rod end... so I can retest Monday.... ffs.... Also means the 2CVs are in quarantine just in time for the Welsh restrictions to be lifted tomorrow... And to top it all off.... it now means we can’t access the garage, and one of the windows they need access too on Monday... oh yeah the back window on the garage... Should’ve put this in the grumpy thread really... Shite Ron, adw1977, wuvvum and 8 others 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried getting the front wishbone off the Mondeo last year using a wedge-type splitter and didn't get anywhere at all - I had to go to the garage with my tail between my legs and ask them to do it. To be fair they were doing the rear trailing arm bush anyway as I knew I'd never be able to do that so it didn't make a huge amount of difference. I’ve never got mine to work on the track arm / strut balljoints, it just isn’t big enough to fit around these joints. Works beautifully on track rod ends.

Not to say it's the right thing to be doing right now, but the US is doing pretty well in its vaccination program. Iirc around 40% adults have been vaccinated over there - similar level to us and we are starting to ease restrictions again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why. @brownnova I always wondered why builders say that scoffolders have a certain reputation. What a bunch of plonkerised numpties to block up a garage door. It's almost as if the didn't even stop to think 'derrr, that looks like some one's garage door, maybe they need access to what's inside, like a car or tools. " We once had scaffolders not turn up until after lunch when the guys wanting to do the work were sat in their van at 8am twiddling their thumbs all day, and we were in a rush to the work done that day... I hope you get it worked out before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
