    Touch-up paint

    +1. good to deal with, friendly and helpful
  3. shock the surrounding housing of joint with a hammer, if it doesnt budge, loosen the nut until it sits flush top of thread. wrap it in a rag, then put a larger socket over the rag, then wack it. last resort haha
  4. get the struts to a tire shop etc. its around $30 to swap each spring if you bring them the struts assembly. i had sh*t loads of trouble with struts 1st time as well, hope you get it sorted. the tie rod and control arm joints are the worst to free up, takes practice
  5. i must be disabled, i didnt understand anything visually or aurally
  6. it all depends on the mechanic who works on your car, i had one great and one bad experience at a BMW specialist. my lesson from that was, TAKE THE CAR TO GLENN. Him and Chris are always helpful and take great pride in their work
  7. quick questions: is it necessary to use paint cleaner before polish? i.e step 1 and 2 in the megiuars polish/wax steps. doesnt it do the same thing basically - it removes the top micro layer of paint? also, how do you tell the difference between oxidation and sun fade? i had both rear quarters sprayed nearly 2 years ago, yet the more shaded side of the car seems more "reflective" and shiny. the car's white and its a bit hard to tell cheers for any advice.

    got a huge shock when i heard it, he's ballin' it up in NZ. dont know how true 3 news reports of his assets were, but 15 mercs is stupidly too many
  10. no slip ons, needs to be hubcentric and bolted to hub, then wheel to spacer i have some 10mm slip ons with 57.1-> 73 hub center if you want to try them for testing
  11. Didnt enjoy watching the mini getting ripped into pieces. What a shame destroying such a mint car. I think they should revisit some of their old ideas, like the 24hr endurance race in the e46 diesel, and making the espace faster with mods
  12. have a browse http://www.strongflex.vot.pl/index.php
  13. i dont smell anything now, i guess your nose gets used to it. The smell definitely changes depending on weather.
