To put some of this in a clearer form, last night I posted what I considered to be light hearted banter into a thread; however, it was not taken as such and on re-reading what I wrote I can see why.

As soon as I realised that what I posted was offensive I immediately posted an apology to Sir Miggy, I certainly never meant any upset, I also PM'd Sir Miggy to apologise and have said both via PM and on this thread that I am the guilty person and I will leave if it would convince Sir Miggy to not leave.

TheBoy deleted the offensive post from the thread which I believe was the correct thing to do as it would have spiralled further out of control; I thank him for his swift action.

I publicly wish to say that I am deeply sorry and upset that a post of mine has caused offence to Sir Miggy and possibly other people on this site. I am totally gutted that a forum that has been so friendly and helpful to me has been damaged by my actions.

They were put on before I had the car so don't know who's responsible, can only say that I was a bit concerned going on holiday knowing that if I had a puncture the car would have to be trailored away..... Had a tin of tireweld in the boot as that's all I could do.

Now I can finally get the wheels off and check the brakes properly (The fronts look to have new discs and pads) and I can also check that the spare set I bought a while ago are all ok and not buckled.

Just to bore everyone.....

As you may all know I couldn't get the dam locknuts off my car, I first tried just before I went on my hols (Only had the car a few months), since then, i've bought a new key and removed one, MDTM got his airgun on them and managed to get another one off and the final two were removed with the aid of two mechanics, one break off sammy sledgehammer, five drill bits, a scaffold pole, every known swear word known to man and one thumb hit with sammy.....

Now i'm seriously considering supergluing the rather things to the local kwik fit window!

SP

Cheers for that, interesting that we've both got 3.2's with possibly the same problem, (my current thinking is that one of the sensors is fine most of the time but is getting stuck occasionally??? Trouble is that the codes relate to both sides..........) What sort of mileage was yours when the problem started...?

Thanks

RANT = ON

Well I don't like mine at the moment! be happier when

a) I get the remaining two wheel bolts drilled off
b) I sort out the rather emissions lamp coming on when there's nothing wrong with the CAT's (probably sensors now)

RANT = OFF

It's missing a fog light from the off side isn't it?

Now repeat after me Sir Miggy 'NOT NICE, NOT NICE, NOT NICE'!

So it is. Not tow eye.  

It is now! LOL

Not 100% convinced by that car..... wrong head unit got a CDR2005 (so not Bose as stated) - should be a ccr 2006, painted calipers, painted front grills, modified bonnet.... perhaps it's just me but I prefer car's that haven't been 'messed with'

Got to say, when I went to see him to test drive the one I then bought, it reminded me of being in a sweet shop spoilt for choice as a kiddy!

Eight Omega's on the front, great sight!

Is she on the ramp now? You've got some late working garages there!!!!

Did you get the Gold Waranty from Roger B? Should be able to claim all costs back by sending the VAT receipt to the warranty company.

Had exactly the same at Lookers in Yardley, Birmingham. TC already set up, knowledgable chap and friendly as well!
Tend to find it's a bit hit and miss at other dealers, if you get the right person behind the parts counter your fine.

I now also go in with a list of VX part numbers, makes life easier for everyone!
