end leaving the wheel arch resting on the front wheel with the full
vehicle weight, luckily this happend whilst releasing the clutch from

I need to call them tomorrow (cos there shut today, thought they would open

The brakes on my Proton Wira (2002, 1500cc) are juddering, especially when
braking from speed.  Despite the age of the car and low mileage (15,000) my

I'm after an second hand air con kit for my car. My car being 16 years old,
it's not practical to find another car in similar condition with air con. I
can obviously get the condensor brazed if it's got a hole, replace pipes

My 2002 Ford Galaxy has a cassette player and I was thinking of buying a
Ford CD player off ebay to upgrade it.
Most of the players offered for sale come with a code card but I think I
read somewhere that they are also coded with the cars VIN number?

getting used to the wickedly grunty 2.2 155 brake TDCi engine... lots
of fun! But there is one thing that's plagued me since I got the car,

vauxhall made me feel insulted :(
