Re: What did you do today?

This is her second most popular review. While not so much car related, it could be said that it would be good car work wear given the easy clean nature of the materials.

Re: What do you keep in your car "just in case "?

Coat. My dad always tells me to. Has been useful in a few cases. My manager laughed when I bought a coat in the summer when we went in his car for a business trip. As the light was fading and temperature dropping on the M4 hard shoulder after it broke down and both of us wearing shorts, he saw the s...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI

Both my wife and myself have noticed the rear brakes scrape when they're warm. I know it's perfectly fine but it upsets Mrs SiC. Basically the rear disc is warped and when hot it expands enough to just catch the pad. The discs and pads are barely worn so very likely a manufacturing defect on cheap p...

Re: What did you do today?

YouTube has just decided to recommend me this video uploaded a few hours ago with just 10 views. I quite enjoyed the watch, even if I didn't dwell too much on the (many) inaccuracies.



Gotta love the algorithms

Re: What Classic ?

Kicking myself for missing out on the Practical Classics 3500 Auto auctioned at the NEC today. Guided at £5-7k and sounded OK. It was Lot 1 and proceeds to charity. Fucker only made £4125 even with premium that’s a cheap car. I’m going to the NEC tomorrow but apart from a load of scrap Range Rovers...

Re: What did you do today?

Bugger me, I actually wielded a spanner today. Changed the wiper motor and linkage on Daughter No.2’s TT, common problem with them apparently and they’re not the same as every other Golf derived VAGshite, hence chancers trying for over £100 for one that’s as likely to expire as the one you have. Go...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI

This has always felt a bit lumpy on idle when sat at lights. Its worse when holding the brake pedal down. I think it might be the engine mount knackered or TADIS. However the spark plugs were of unknown vintage, so I reckoned it would be worth changing them anyway. A set of four NGKs were just under...
