There are no key holes and no pins inside that pop up. Cheers

No probs. A bit bum that you can't open with the key. Where is the car at the moment? If it's not too far away I may be able to get the sh** from work and sort it tomorrow.

[Zoobeef]

[turbobob]

Not too far away. I may be able to get some stuff from work tomorrow and take a look if you like?

Do you know which model it was?

Right, number plates.
Im not a massive fan of private plates but thinking one on this car would be nice.
So....what do i get? Would rather it relate to the car and be obvious that it relates. Also dont want to spend more than the minimum amount haha. Ive seen GTO3 RGO, which i could put as GT03R GO. A little naughty but not like turning two 1's into a H.
Any other ideas?

Oh sh** the caps

Right a BIG warning ,you must put sh** loads of copper slip on the threads and dont tighten them.

I put some on the vx and a few month later they would not come off

I had to warm them with boiling water , and use two sets of grip to get them off

Any longer and they may not have come off without damage to the tyre

They had corroded with white powder deposits welding them to the thread

Well mine did not say Noble but you get my drift

Good tip, ill stick a dab on tomorrow during the chore of bulb changing

[Zoobeef]

Hardest part of getting the bulb changed was cleaning the old sealent off. Half a tube of weatherproof gutter sealent and its back together.
Filled it up, £65 for the last 130 miles :/

New wheel turned up. I want the car as standard as possible going on how rare they are. So...
Shall i put the standard wheel on ive just bought


Or leave this one on thats on it already?


Also, whats the best stuff to clean suede/alacanflippyfloppy stuff?

Cheers

[Trevski220]

Standard wheel i reckon

[Zoobeef]

Yeah ive decided to stick it on. Cleaned it all up tonight and i need to do a bit of wiring for the horns tomorrow. Its a bit bigger but once on its not really noticable

[Zoobeef]

Also nipping to the scrap yard tomorrow to get an interior light relay as they dont work when the doors are opened and im hoping its the relay. Out of a mk 4 fiesta :/ Also ordered a new wiper arm as im missing one £52+vat. Winner haha
