  1. You could have bought mine Vinnie..it has air con ;) :D
  2. If you have just bought it..then surely it has a warranty???..i would speak to the place/person you bought it from and see what they say.. Welcome to the mad house..lol
  3. well..i used to have a landline..then got broadband..then no landline..but still have broadband...i have no idea why i have broadband with no landline...but im not complaining!! ;) :D
  4. who??????
  5. My kids know that they have to be very quiet in the car..coz if they yell..shout..start fighting..or argue over who is going to pick up the melted sweet off the carpet..mummy will get very annoyed...start shouting and then we will crash and all die.yes..i am a cruel mum..but..they are good as gold in the car now..a marked change from when i wasnt driving and everyone was yelling...so quiet now. ;) :D :D (plus...if they yell they cant sing to my loverly music i have blasting out!! :D )
  6. I do change gear..once i have slowed down sufficiently for the appropiate gear...but occasionally..i dont have time till the very last moment! ;)
  7. Very true..all i want is the ruddy squealing to stop!! :)
  8. Awww..hes cute!!!!.
  9. Ok..looks like ill be stripping em down..and cleaning them off i guess...going to be fun!! :) ermm..grease break pads???isnt that a bit...dangerous???
  10. they werent cheap..i remember that it was 85 quid for one set..and summit for the other..i know that he looked it up on the computer for the right ones...but as for make..i can only guess.
  11. OMG...they are brilliant!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :D ....still want bunnies though..but those teddies look cool!!!!..not sure of the colour though.. :)
  12. Glazed????what does that mean????I ordered the right pads for the galaxy as i double checked..i always do...
  13. Discs were changed at the same time as i remember ordering them from Halfords at Peterhead in scotland!!...cost about 150/160 for pads and discs.
  14. :) No half respectable garage would send a car out with "2k" left on the pads..... thats worn out.....you could use 2k's worth in under 100 miles of heavy braking. Probably some more bullshit cos you can't measure a pad as 2k = paper thin New discs and pads.....when were they last changed? About 18 months ago..since then done about 9k miles ago roughly.Possibly more as we moved from scotland down to here....On my service sheet that i was given..it said check brakes in 2k miles....I reckon about 12k miles..he says about 9k miles.
  15. so i could jack the car up..take the wheels off..and see.. I have one small problem which i just thought of..my wheel locking nut/bolt thingy is naffed..and i have 3 wheels with the locking nut on. :) ..crap...hmm...but i spose i could try and bend the pins back into shape......so that i could use it.. I want to do this job myself.....need to think ahead i think. :)
  16. A good 2 tonne trolly jack, wheel brace, brake pipe clamp and axle stands. New pads, disks if required, and some new brake fluid. I could do both sides in under an hour. Half an hour if I was using my air tools. Hmmm........bigger job than i thought then.
  17. I was told at the service that i still had 2k left in them...i havent even done 1k.....so amongst everything else they cocked up..they cocked up this aswell??????or could i have in my over enthusiastic breaking when a truck suddenly appears..have worn them down in a few weeks?....hmmm..can i just check the pads and discs???..just to see if they need changing?..
  18. :) :) :) 2 days be long enough????..can do it over a wkend then....anything in particular that i would need???jack?ramp?..what type of sandpaper..coarse or fine?
  19. so...i could strip my brakes down and clean them?..how long roughly would this take???and would i have to do all of them as i think it is just coming from the front?
  20. mixture of shiny and rust.....brake moves about 2 to 4 inch. Seatkid..the squeal does not go away no matter how hard i press the brakes..squeal only goes when i dip the clutch..yes i do press the brake harder when clutch is dipped...if i dont the car shudders and tries to veer to the left...i had the balance/tracking done but it still does it.when i brake hard..i feel it thru the steering and my ass!! :)
  21. Meat loaf...fave song is "paradise by the dashboard light".....always loved that song!!,,,LOL.
  22. Try Ebay..loads on there..other wise....nay idea
  23. Hmm...I listen to compilation albums at the mo.....havent a clue of all the name of the artists!!..as said before..depends on mood...if im driving slow/fast..on my own ..kids in car etcc....only so many times you can listen to the wheels on the bus go round and round..I like dance music ..anything really that has a good beat..has to catch me in the first few bars or i skip it.I also like to listen to War of the Worlds..
