Guys it's snowing cats and dogs up here in Newcastle. What's it like daaan saaath?

I had to make the decision to let my Astra go. My last very careful drive of her to the Ford garage was quite sad I must admit. Considering it has been the best car I've ever owned. :cry: In it's place I have got myself a much newer Ford Focus 1.6 Style 5 door with only 23K on the clock. I'm...

I serviced my car on Saturday using 10W40 Semi GM and OE oil filter. After the new oil was put in. I allowed it to idle for nearly 10 mins.

6 months has flown since the last one, so it's that time to service the beast. Oil, filter and O-Ring at the ready. Im doing it this Saturday morning, I'm quite looking forward to it.

Yesterday I was running massively late for work :eek: I had to pick my mates up for work who also had to start at the same time. So being late was not an option. I had to give it the beans and braked very hard and frequent. I came to a round about where i had to stop from 70 to rest quick. When...

I have to say i'm well impressed with my iphone4 that i got on Monday. I don't even think i've scratched the surface with it's potential and im really liking how user friendly and intuitive it is. What's other people's thoughts on this phone?

its been annoying me for months not having a boot carpet. So a couple of days ago i went to a couple of scrapyards to look for a one and found a half decent carpet which cost a tenner! Cleaned it up when i got home, brushed, hoovered and steamed and it looks almost brand new :D

In 2 months time i have to MOT the car. I'm pretty sure ill need a new cat. How much are they standard and what would a 200 cell sports cat cost in comparison? Thanks guys!

I've had the EML light on now for some time, this is since having my pre cat removed 5 months ago. I have had this code cleared once before by Tech 2 when i got my timing chain replaced. But on my drive home after it came straight back on as was expected. I just really want to know if there's a...

Wow what a smack she took in the face, it was a bit funny knowing that it was just a pure accident but the sick b*****d who remixed like that wants his head examined!

I'm getting a new set of chains soon, they should arrive very shortly :) Is there anyone who lives in the North East of England that could change them for me? :thumbup: Any help would be great!
