I am replacing the wheel nuts on my wagon...they are fitted to P1 wheels (white) and wondered how I measure them and any recommendations on types to go for would be gratefully received

The stamp on the side says M2-1.25 but the ones I saw for sale say M12-1.25...

Cheers

Edited to ask if I can use tuner nuts on P1 wheels

Will try to get along to this one ...Missed out the last time Flying the flag only though lol

:D totally with what you said LTD edition cars should no be raped like this, i couldn't give a rats erse if they own the car, distasteful.

Car Rapist

Mmmm cerise sounds nice .....what an idea

ONLY KIDDING

Not necessarily Jump starting related, but if anyone is concerned about havign a battery removed for an extended period of time and then the alarm system screwing up! I recently had the battery out of mine for about 4 weeks.. Plugged it back in the other day just to get thee fluids moving and it fired up no problem at all!

Would have probably removed the battery if I had known the car was going to be "snowed" under for so long... thats good to know

That wouldnt be hard .........

.......... thats what ya get for callin' me 43

I had to jump the STI a couple weeks ago. Jumped cars many a time before, but was a wee bit concerned about damaging electronics etc in a modern car, so followed these handy instructions from the AA:

Both cars still seem fine!

I have jump started many cars recently ..but I too was worried about the ecu (even in an oldie lol) will give it a try later ...watch this space lol

Remember to turn off the "donor" car before you try and start the dead car to prevent a spike.

Connect the positives from battery to battery and connect the earth from the donor car to an earth point on the car and not direct to the battery.

Bon Appetit

Aye just to confuse me more then

Yeah it's not a problem, been done loads of times. Just don't mix up the + & - lol

Ermm think you should know me better than that

Cool thanks..... long run coming up they have both been "snowed" under too long

Hi everyone just cleared 4 weeks and 2ft of snow from my wagon..but she wont start Just want to know if its ok to jump start her or disconnect the battery and charge it?? Wasn't totally dead but not enough to turn her over

Cheers in advance

oops edited to say from another battery not by pushing

Hello and welcome

C'MON the Wagons ...in red too lol

Keep it there then I have had it for nearly 4 weeks!! lol

Cathy i was a nearly a teenager you cheeky girl

Mmmn teenager 30 year ago = 43+ lol

the weight of the snow on the car for last 2 weeks has cracked the windscreen on the classic

I will be checking mine too!!

Yeah baby 9'' & frozen solid ice.....

.... real glad i bought that Alpine scooby hat now

Wheres the skates You both look freezing Like the hat

All right the fun has gone now but on a different note they will be having curling out at Lanark Loch for the first time in 30 years....... now that brings back sweet memories of a kid running over the frozen Loch

You sure it was 30 year ago

I only met Dougie once at the 22B run .... real genuine person

Dont know what to say!!! gutted for you

What a good idea though...I see lots of scoobies in my area but don't think any are on here (well except one or two lol) Do SIDC not have something like a membership pamphlet to put on car windscreens? I could do that lol

Happy New year to everyone xx

frigging lucky your getting both , down here we've got he-haw!

I remember when I was in Lewis last New Year their roads were covered in the stuff (not even icy or snowing at the time)!!! Think they have to use it all up or they get less next year

Cool (must go get myself a sledge) lol

today i have mostly been sledging,took the truck up the sma glen,did a few donuts and found a suitable field...

then someone suggested building a ramp,which may have got a bit out of hand lol

NEXT PIC PLEASE

have a look at the wee dispenser units on your bonnet, there could be grime blocking the holes.

wiggle something sharp, like a safety pin, in them to check.

Done that ..have had the pipe off and there is no water coming through at all ....Its hard throwing water on the window driving along the road lol
