Well have been looking for a short while to get one of these as a week end fun car.

Went to look at one today and bought it. Will pick up next Saturday if all go well with insurance etc.

Here's some pictures as it appeared on eBay.







































I will put some more pictures up when I get it and update this thread as things progress with it

Indentification needed

by Colin G, 29-01-2020, 09:26 AM

Hi guys, just wondering if anybody is able to indentify these alloys (make/model/offset) All I know is that they are 15x7. Have taken some close up's of the markings on them





Also is it possible to get the following repaired, if not then the above info will help me to trace an odd wheel to make up the complete set.

The dreaded yearly MOT for a 12 year old car

by Saraj, 28-01-2020, 02:53 PM

Well it was MOT time (well three weeks ago)

Traditionally it would cost between £200-£300.

Last year, it failed on the front screen which had a crack in it.

Well this year somebody decided to smash my rear windscreen on Thursday night, this set me back £70 which wasnt bad !

Took it to MOT and guess what

It passed ! just the £40 !

COuldnt believe it, for those who don't know what car I got

Its a 2000 Vauxhall Astra, the typical high maintenance cars !

S2000 braking noise

by zippysguitar, 27-01-2020, 08:30 PM

So tonight I was ragging the **** out of the S2000 around bendy country lanes and after a while I noticed a stange, almost metal creaking noise under breaking, even under light breaking.
It seemed to go away after driving normally again for a while, but returned again whilst accelerating a little while later a couple of times.
Rather worrying really. I know this is rather vague, but has anyone ever come across anything such as this before?

fuel protests

by RichiesTrucking, 27-01-2020, 07:19 PM

i hope the admin dont mind this post :thumbup:

tonight we had a fuel protest at oil refineries across the uk. i attended grangemouth from 7pm to 9pm and the other refineries were protested at during that same time. its a peaceful protest and although the police did turn up, they were very chatty with us so providing there is no nonsense, there is no need to worry about them. we would appreciate the support of anyone who can turn up although a legal form of transport is advised for obvious reasons. it is primarily being organised via facebook with small groups being co-ordinated so feel free to join them if you so wish
http://www.facebook.com/groups/173901656056084/

fuel costs affect everyone whether they drive or not due to transport of all kinds paying for fuel. public transport uses diesel. moving food around on trucks uses diesel and of course, private transport uses diesel or petrol so there is no escaping it and the price is out of control. this is the message we are trying to get out to the public and that is the purpose of the protests. its not just hauliers and farmers this time. its everyone!

Is200 bonnet wrap

by Gr1NcH, 27-01-2020, 07:55 AM

Hi
Suggestions please guys.
I'm thinking of getting the bonnet wrapped on my silver lex.
Havn't got a clue what colour. I'd like to keep it understated as best possible.
I was thinking a clear carbon so as the original colour shows through but can't seem to find anyone who has it in my area (sth London). It has a few minor stone chips do wanted them to be hidden
Been quoted £120 for the bonnet. In a silver carbon
Or is it better to get the paint work corrected instead.
