Spent the last two days trying to find the cause of the ticking/slapping sound, i assume i have something sat in the tread of tyres or stuck to one of them. Doing my head in.

Wow cant beleive how much that snow foam costs ! Luckily I know someone who distributes commercial autoglym/turtle wax products to the car wash industry. Have loads of tfr wax and snowfoam sat at home.

watch it doesn't break the fins of the turbo and drop in the engine?

Is it a Focus by any chance?

No it's a Subaru XV 2.0D, spoke to the dealer they just said bring it in a week on Wednesday, so they're not too worried

It's in warranty so if it blows the turbo it'll be their bill

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll try that next time. I'll find a smaller quality though I think :D 

 

I bought some devil snow foam on a whim in Halfrauds...first foam I've tried and its rubbish....

 

Crud pressure washer site aren't delivering what I've already paid for...even after verbally saying they were going to deliver it yesterday...so hand wash today  :rolleyes:

Devil Snow Foam is pre mixed and just connect to hose pipe??

 

If you have a jet was , you need the proper sf lance, then put 150ml in the litre bottle and top up with water.

then you get this...

The merc was a 14 plate coupe which tried to follow me down the slip road onto the carriage way .

What can I say "I've got expensive taste " [emoji12]

Don't think they expect a 17yr old scooby to eat £20k+ cars .

I do love the look on their faces when I've proved my point and eased off and they come past me [emoji15][emoji4]

All classic clutches are the same dimensions although I'm unsure if you can mix different brand thrust races with clutch plates.

Im afraid i Couldn't tell you if foz are the same as classic clutches .

Have you tried cross referencing the part numbers ?

Does snow foam do as good a job as washing by hand? Cars look awesome when covered in it mind.

 

I've been busy the past couple of days helping my brother in law bail his field, bailer went wrong in every way it could as well which is annoying. All done now though! Yesterday morning we went to the Subaru breakers and they had sold the intercooler I was after, also all the bonnets had massive stone chips to rival mine so not worth getting a replacement. They did offer me a "High Flow" intercooler, it was massive! Said they want £220 for it... considering it's like £800 for one I may get it but for now I've walked away.

 

Quick question, I was under the impression you can use a blob scoop on a bug but they said it's not possible without some modification. Is that correct?

 

May head out for a drive today, get some fuel (Haven't filled up in 2 weeks, joys of driving little miles). Then go on an adventure to make up for it :P
