as for the 0 on the lambda test..whats the deal there?? how could they not test it??

[quote="coolmini"]put the car on either a ramp or jack it up, if you have neither drive one side up on a steep crub. run the engine and check for any leaks along the whole exhaust system. ya still have to sort out the head lamp alignment too. if your bro is a sheetmetal fabricator am sure ...

hey all

anyone know any places that install new roof lining? mines pretty tatty at this stage

Allan

after much heartbreak (2 years nearly off the road) i finally have her back!!

thats fine by me...i tried the usual place before kwik fit etc..but they cant do minis as the wheels are so close to the body etc..so any place in dublin that could do this would help as i need it done before i stick her through the nct..

Allan

there was a new steering rack put in , so now my steering wheel is upside down when the wheels are straight if that helps the diagnosis!

just be very aware when you are buying that you but as best condition as you can,check everything!! speaking from (a very expensive) history of buying a uk car you may have to spend a lot of money fixing things down the line ...
