Radiator Cap
Last Reply: davesideways (Today, 03:18 PM)

I bought some new discs for the 2000 which had significant run out and I'm sure were the cause of a nasty judder.Should have had the old ones machined and saved £100........... -
Muscle Building.
Last Reply: davesideways (Yesterday, 06:07 PM)
Try stepping up onto a chair using the balls of your feet on the edge and really do it fluid and slow and drop down the same way. You can do this holding a pair of dumbbells that will really give you some punchy legs. As you get stronger increase... -
