thought it was gonna be much worse! Least there wasnt a chavvy spoiler on the boot. Didnt like the chrome arches, chocolate interior was :puke: undecided on the wheels, vinyl roof was a stupid idea, wasnt keen on the colour.

My arms are the alloy ones, looked on Eurocarparts for a price, the genuine ones are £181 lol And all the others say 'not touring' in brackets. Im struggling to work out how a steel one is so different from an ally one, unless its a diff. shape it cant affect handling that much can it??? Maybe I'l...

Control arm/Wishbone help......

Drive a 325 Touring, both outer ball joints are knackered, I understand these are 'pressed' in. If I order a control arm from GSF, does anyone know what I get for my money? Bare arm? Whole arm with everything on it? Or should I buy the £8 ball joint and get my pain in the arse press game on lol Ch...

Finishing Touch by AutoSmart m8, it comes in a spray bottle, I use it on all my 'shuts' boot, doors, scuttle panel everywhere. Its a very wet milk like product, cleans and buffs well.

Find yourself some 'Finishing Touch' by AutoSmart

Spray it on the cloth, wipe it over - the more you rub it the duller it gets, you can use it in ur doorshuts, window rubbers anywhere - doesnt leave the silicony residue like most do - smells fab too :wink:

Ive just bought a Touring, because my Ren 21T is no longer a daily drive visit Asda option - the real snag is the boot opening - the lights are light that on the Pug 309, they dont move, so its nowhere near as good as my Escort estate for carrying big bulky items - I once got a fridge freezer in tha...
