  1. I will be there (Work permitting of course)
  2. What are the studs on the front bumper for?
  3. Got mine as well. The wife is real happy with the smelly thing. It gets rid of the dead dog smell in the car. I wouldn't mind, but I haven't got a dog.
  4. Not my style mate, but looks like a really good job. The black on the front bumper looks deep. Big question though.......................................How much???
  5. My wife's Suzuki Alto is wrong, and so was the new fiesta I was in the other day. Urban myth by the looks of it.
  6. You could try Power Station at Tewkesbury. Thats only just down the road.
  7. On a New age at least, there is a blank over the no. 3 cyl (next to the turbo). It looks like a flat allen bolt.. Whip it out and stick your sender in the hole. EASY!! (After you have removed the intercooler and the rest of it to get down there)
  8. Welcome. 1. Coasting in any car is wrong, but it won't damage the engine or turbo. If the engine is running, the turbo is getting oil. 2. The noise you are hearing is a vent to atmosphere dump valve. There are loads on the market,(Turbosmart, HKS etc) but do a bit of homework first. Scoobs have been known to run rough with them fitted. Hope this helps. 24D
  9. Get used to it. "Hurry up and wait" is the motto of the British Army
  10. Stu, Just PM him direct. He always seems willing to answer genuine questions. Maybe see if you can secure a forces discount special. Failing that, you could always stick his son on duty 'til his eyes bleed!!
  11. I'm not 100% on the new system but when I did it, you filled in the forms to say your not a mass murderer, and you are in possesion of both arms and legs and then went to selection. At selection you have a doctor feel you up, sign you off as fit, and then you do the physical tests. After that there was an interview with an officer to make sure you aren't in it for the killing and he tells you how you did on your tests. If you have passed selection, you will have to wait for a basic training date and then you belong to the Army.
  12. Out of the three, the better one to go for would be Dog trainer. RLC drivers all get stuck in Logistic Battalians with hundreds of other RLC soldiers, and you can pick your licences up doing pretty much any job in the Army. AAC groundcrew sounds cool, but is the equivalent of an ESSO pump attendant.......................................in Afganistan more than likely. (If I'm getting shot at, I want to be as far from flammable liquids as possible.) Did you get offered anything else? Sometimes the weird and boring sounding jobs are the best to go for.
  13. Good luck from another serving soldier. If you have any questions you want answering without the bull#### feel free to pm me.
  14. St Thomas. My old mans house backs on to Barton Fields.
  15. I haven't tried on a scoob before, and from what I hear they are a ba$tard, but there should be bleed valves dotted around the system. Usually at the top of the rad, somewhere near the thermostat, and in the region of the pipes that go to the heater matrix. Just get the engine running and warmed up, and crack them off GENTLY. [PING] An idea has occurred. Your footwells aren't damp are they? Sometimes after a summer of being shut off, the heater matrix can rot out causing airleaks and lost coolant.
  16. The roundabouts in MK are awesome. I set fire to the brakes on a MK2 Golf round there. By the By. I'm from Exeter as well but live up Andover way. I'm usually traveling too fast to be seen by the naked eye though.
  17. You could try the cheaper bits first. Maybe a sticky thermostat, or the old enemy, air-locks
  18. Sorry I couldn't make it in the end. Hope you have a good one.
  19. Stupid people always cheer me up.
  20. Nice. You were luckly to find one with so few miles. Welcome to the club.
