purplebargeken Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The sporty looking Hyundai is ace, I was all over one on the forecourt of the then dealer in Little Bushey. The Toledo went for some wheel alignment therapy at Formula 1 Auto Centre and the guys were ace, they loved the Toledo and oooh'd over the simplicity of the mechanicals. Steering much more pleasant and will take it back in a few weeks to have a free check and tweak of the tracking if required, no need to book, just bring it in puddlethumper and jumpingjehovahs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayts450 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Doubly whammy on very hard to find parts. R960 radio for the 420 for 30 quid (and another 9 quid for the code), unobtainium alternator bracket including the adjuster for the 214 for 35 quid. Happy days.

beko1987 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 No, he has a hybrid finish on the car, and doesn't want to damage it. Perfectly sensible, if his routine is correct a good foam and rinse will do, but finding the right product is hard so as not to strip the finish. Then there's drying to avoid marks. Hence the big blower. I used to use a 1992 Hoover Portapower in blowing mode, haven't got that anymore but other vacs with blowers exist. Dog grooming dryers are popular too I miss detailing...

To be fair, I've got a Degree in Manufacturing Engineering, but there was nothing specific on how to operate a moulding machine that I'm trying to make work today. I've got 100s of pages of manual and not one word of it is helpful. Degree or Not, I'm fecked off. Garythesnail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggersdog Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Car came in for MoT today and it has the wrong size tyre on one side. Checked the date and it's 2018 the other side is 2017. Trying to work out if I missed it last year so in the end I check last MoT. It was done at the main dealer. The relief that I hadn't missed something so obvious was great. When asked about his tyre the customer shrugged and said it's only ever been to the main dealer until now. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
