Good stuff :P

Unusual way to try and diagnose a problem, but it doesn't sound nice, neither does the knocking. Just how deep was the puddle? :? its very hard to work on descriptions (I hear a metallic rattle not grinding) and as it does it when stationery, you can rule out most of the likely causes ...

Does it grind only when you are moving? I popped the bottom edge of a wheel arch liner once going through a puddle. It caused a grinding noise when you turned the wheel in a certain direction, just push fit it back on, all was well. This wasn't on a twingo and i don't have mine here to look at...

Cheers for that. ;) I sat and studied the products and have sent Matt a wee order for some stuff to try. Looking forward to getting home now and spending some TLC on all my babies :P Thanks again Sandy

Thats 5 :shock: What about Wash, Detail (for bugs etc), Polish and Wax, that i could live with every few months. Then i just have to wash it in between, can i use the Born to be mild for that? Can i use the supernatural on the wheels as well? So many product just to clean me car :shock...

I'm thinking of trying out the Dodo Juice products, i've read a lot of good stuff about them and think i should give them a whirl. Historically i've been using Meg's NXT and before that Autoglym, both good but quite like the idea behind Dodo juice. So heres the main question, bugs are the...

Welcome to my world. I've had over 2 years of that now , it's why we all drive 4x4's Well that and all the rain :shock: We even have prayer boards at the side of the road in accident hotspots So you get a blessing as you pass, this helps cut down the accidents...... Not :roll: Just one of...

Looks like i CAN find the Michelin Alpin4's in 195/45/16 so thanks for the info. Just had to look in the right place with right information. Will be a special order but i can get them, so cheers. Sandy 8-)

After you mentioned them before i had a good look, but the closest in size were 195/55/16's which i figured were too tall, the ratio doesn't work well by my maths :? Although they do work in a 15" rim as 195/50/15. It was one of the ones i managed to find in that size that looked good. TJ i'm...

Sounds very familier :D its a funny old world Sandy

From what i've read this evening, i might struggle to find 16's, might have to go to 195/50/15's or even 185/55/15's to get a choice of decent tyres. There is one brand available at 205/40/17, but they don't get brilliant ratings, hmmmmmm................ The other option is Maxxis MAZ4S...

Very good ;) I've no intention of buying cheapo tyres. The steel wheels might be an idea though, or a secondhand set of alloys. Pondering a few ideas at the mo. It's 3 years since the last time I drove in winter at home, kinda forget what it's like, but I do know there was a good reason I...

Hi folks Is there any value in getting a set of winter tyres for the car? I have previously kept a set of tyres for winter and summer use with many of my previous cars, but the conti's that came with the Dini look like good all weather tyres, given the road noise off them i would imagine they...

One of the many cars i tested when i was looking a few weeks ago. It was a nice size inside but unfortunatley like the rest of the Mini range, i found it too contrived and pretentious, why can't they just make things easy to use, instead of stylising them to the point of uselessness. It was also...

Picked the beastie up from Ness this morning, mother in law lives in elgin :P Great fun this afternoon, i take it the road noise is normal, didn't notice it quite so much on the test drive. :roll: Must be getting old :D Thanks for the welcome's Sandy

Chasing monkeys

Hiya i've just bought 118 and it has blue inserts, i think the rest is standard, but will have a good check when i pick it up tomorrow and amend if necessary. Sandy

I'm going to be living in Ellon, back home after 2years in the jungle

Hi folks i've just got back to the UK after a wee stint abroad and went car shopping, Dull,Dull,Dull!!!!!!!! what a boring world this is becoming. However my little ray of sunshine in a dreary place has taken the form of a New Twingo Gordini 133, number 118. i couldn't stop grinning even a few...
