Ask a Shiter

Thanks Eddie, do you want to humour my idiocy any further?? Video.

 

[Eddie Honda]

Not humouring, trying to give an answer.

 

I think it does not changeover because somehow it needs to be pushed in further??

[egg]

That's my feeling, it won't go in far enough, I'm not sure you can take these apart and lube them?

[Eddie Honda]

If you can take it apart it probably won't be easy to get back together because of bastard strong spring.

 

Bigger vice/hammer might persuade it.

They’re not expensive new if you can’t get it shifting

I think this one appears to be fecked, I've now got it stuck in the middle not turning either way. Wasn't too dear, but a bit of a gamble with old tools. I don't think it was the seller on the make.

 

Only reason I didn't buy a new cheapy was mixed reviews on whichever one I looked at.

 

Purpose was extra help with Invacar screws where I don't have power at the lock-up.

 

Thanks all.

Leave it to soak in diesel for a few days and then try it. 

[dozeydustman]

Sounds like it might not have been as tight as they often are.  Did it make any kind of a 'crack!' as it undid?

 

Not so much a crack, more a click.

The Toolstation one is crap....butter metal.. Funnily enough ,I bought a cheap one from the market years ago and it's never failed ,but i couldn't find it , so bought the toolstation one as it was cheap too.

It knackered first wallop ,it was only on a brake disc screw as well .

I asked on my Moodus thread, but no answers.

 

Anyone know where the switch for the boot light is on 2004 (54 reg) Renault Modus is? Light stayed on and flat battery resulted. Bulb removed for now, but I'd like a proper fix.

 

I think it's based on Mk3 Clio so may be the same

Exactly why I'm a posh cunt and said before to get a Koken one.

Utter heap of shit that tool is. The only reason I kept it was the socket and bits fits nicely on my Makita Impact Wrench. Handle gone into the bottom of the useless tool toolbox.

It's built into the boot latch, but if you can live without the light it's easiest to remove the bulb.

My OH’s Stilo had a ssimilar problem, I disconnected the wiring for the latch and wired in a tilt switch off a 206. Worked perfectly.

[catsinthewelder]

How much is a small car going for as scrap at the moment?

[The Moog]

Try cartakeback

 

Round here they are paying more collected than you putting over the scales.

[catsinthewelder]

£92 collected or dropped off.

[The Moog]

I got £50 for mx5 Shell with no engine.

 

Golf 2004 TDI - £400 collected

That’s one thing that I despatch to the bin, those fecking retaining screws on the brake disc.

That is the fix. Hang a torch in the boot.

I got £120 for the Puma but I think that was because it was a Puma, it was rustier than a rusty thing and the engine was running but utterly borked.

[Aston Martin]

My friend wants a 206cc, believe me I tried to get her into an MG TF and it ain't happening. She's on-board with a Streetka too...

 

Anyway, I've found a 'decent' 206CC good spec and it has alot of factory options. I'm trying to find a price list or a PDF brochure online but I can't find anything.

 

I'm sure Parkers used to list optional extra prices, but I can't find shit.

[Jazoli]

206cc's are actually alright, most come with all the options.

 

Streetka's are shit, as are MGTF's, can't really go wrong with the Peugeot, they are pretty robust, easy to fix and don't rot.

[Aston Martin]

This one has the JBL audio pack and cruise etc which were options I believe.

 

There are 207ccs for about £2500 but they're beyond shite right?

I don't think they are to be honest, they look really smart, just avoid any with a 1.4 engine, my wife has a 307CC and I actually really like it, its nice to drive, well specced, punchy, the hardtop is fantastic and doesn't leak and touch wood its been reliable so far, we have just had to put a clutch and DMF in it but I got a grand knocked off the asking price last year as I could hear it knocking so it was an expense we were expecting, its also averaging 50 odd mpg.

 

207cc's can be had for around a grand if you look hard enough

 

 

[rainagain]

That’s a nice looking car for not a lot of money, are the back seats as useless at the 206cc ones?

[scaryoldcortina]

It's more of a handbag shelf with seatbelts really.
