Having a tidy of the garage as it needs it as I need the work bench again now it's getting summer time.
But pushed the car back so the wife could tidy her garden cupboard, and it sounds like the brakes are still on on the rear, I double checked and the hand brake is fully off, also I notice I can see where the brake has been on as it there is a clear mark left on the brake disc.
We've just got a vinyl cutter in work and fancy sticking some vinyl on the wheel (Mainly just to mess around) but might look in to getting some decent vinyl and might be able knock together other stuff for members.
Can anyone recommend a decent courier service? As I'm sure Kevin will agree Parcel2go have given a really poor service and are yet to deliver the parcel. I've asked for them to return the parcel to myself so that I can then arrange for another courier to deliver the parcel. So basically looking for recommend couriers that would be able to deliver a parcel next day.
Well looks like i found out and sorted out the bumpy ride
that i was having the last few months
broken rear coil i went through two on the astra H
so looks like the J springs are no better
I've been thinking seeing as we've got a few members who happen to be technically minded and have various skills of the ins and outs of the J how does a odd job meet sound.
We could arrange it possibly over a weekend meeting up somewhere convenient for all interested members.
This would be a good opportunity for people to get those little jobs done that there not sure of and we can spread our knowledge and skills though out the forum.
Please add your thoughts below and if we can get this going ahead we can get a list of jobs that people want doing so that the right members with the correct skills are available
