just got back from pro sport, changed the oil no probs. funny moment when the lad undid some thing and covered the floor and his arms in oil

they checked the ECU and there was four things wrong so they reset it and all was top's. car drove so much better after. a lot smoother.

gav..

 

forgot to say they washed and vacumed me car off afterwards too!!!!

cheers to the lads down there, top notch service

gav..

 

Have fun tomorrow chaps, funny you all say you have had your oil & water checked but what about your brakes? I did Oulton on Saturday and boiled the brake fluid within 3 laps!! She must have ****e dot 4, getting it changed this weekend and new pads just for the hell of it then back to Oulton on the 29th if anyone fancies it. £95 for a full day with open pit lane.

Si.

 

just had new pads on si cheers for the reminder though bud


gav..

 

Gav, how much did it cost you, and what oil did you use??

 

Had to read Chris's post twice as didnot believe it the first time getting a garage to check your oil and water. You could have run out of oil before you had took it in SCARY.

"Whats that knocking noise?"

 

ok ok, just to explain a little, I didn't go there just to check water and oil. I owed him £20 for my exhaust gasket which he did a few weeks ago, so checked my oil outside work before I left for prosport, just in case it was low, he could've topped it up if it was.
When I got there, I mentioned what we're doing tomorrow, and he offered to check them both again, so I obliged, which was nice of him,
now, anyone know where I can get some cheap toyo proxes from after tomorrow?
chris

 

Group buy on Toyo's anyone??
I think we should try the place where Andy got his, cheap as chips! £65 fitted

 

Can someone post the meeting points for tomorrow on the Astles forum, or ring me in the morning (not before 7:30!).

OK on the brakes, but not sure on the fluid! Cap says DOT3, manual says DOT4, fluid pots say DOT5 for ABS cars. Help!?!

Don't forget the bucket of water chris, as you promised.

 

Done it Dai as you were typing on here

 

Selecta tyre in Buxton thats the fella's

 

Whats the water for?

Let me guess washing his car

LOL

 

You got it andy, hope you have washed yours!!

 

I totally resisted the urge to wash my baby today, and I had plenty of time to do it too. Just couldn't be arsed
Do you think it will snow tomorrow, dai, have you got a tent and an old oil drum we can start a fire in??
There must be some room in your car for it!
Hee,
chris
