Thanks to everyone involved with this tutorial. With no reference marks for the PIA stickers this is really useful. just done it.

Congrats on the Suberb, Silver1011. I may be getting one myself soon - certainly within the next 12 months. The Mrs is going to have the Octy Scout if I can prise the Jeep keys out of her hand. So what is the definitive on the cam belt? 80K/4 years?

Had my summer wheels on for a few weeks now. So glad I got the Proteus wheels refurbished & got rid of the polished look.

It's happened to me to but I felt really sorry for a lad at work who bought himself a really nicely kept Jag. He came back to the car in a retail park car park to find parallel scratches on his boot. A fella told him a guy came out of Comet with a big boxed TV or somesuch & plonked it on his boot instead of the ground while he opened the back of his own car, then just dragged it off.

I do high mileage & I clean mine every time I wash the car, rarely less than once a week. I make sure I hoick dead leaves out the wings in Autumn. First car I've done it on - I guess cos I like it so much. Takes 10 mins. I don't jet wash as it's never that bad but clean what I can reach & do the underside of the bonnet. I dress the plastics several times a year. I'm sure it's not necessary but makes me feel better & having a chavy private plate I get some satisfaction when mechanics think the car is a lot newer than it is. Sad.

Have you tried going into the sound settings? You can mute the normal output & headphone outputs separately.

Just bought some coolant from Horton's via ebay. Received with an unexpected freebie litre of Skoda Wash & Wax Shampoo RRP £5 Pleasant surprise!

I couldn't believe I had to install itunes to put music on our lads ipod. Fortunately I have XP running on a virtual machine on my Ubuntu/Linux but not happy I can't just drag & drop. Looks like I have to have a bloody iphone through work soon too! Make Microsoft look like saints.

Not as good as Casino Royale for me (great fight sequences) but best one yet for the Mrs. Bardem was more menacing in No Country for Old Men.

If he's already been around the neighbours & and had a dialogue I guess it depends what was said & how it was left. That was the time to sort it out.

We have a wood, glass & stone conservatory on our terrace house & I overheard a neighbour referring to it as an orangery. Still makes me chuckle. We do have a couples of lemon trees in there - nice for the G&T's! I've just put my summer wheels in the summer house shed.

Grow a variety of oranges or lemons with big thorns for next time.

I guess I'd have been really p'd off it I'd had it from new but I prefer the look of my refurbed powdercoat alloys to the polished look anyway.

I was about to order some Mad assister's as the garage were going to fit them while they are doing another job on my car. Thought I'd better check with the insurance company (Tesco) first - they want a 25% hike on my premium! Anyone else had an increase? Or if insurance company didn't want an increase who are you with?

Forms to transfer my RBS account to a Scottish branch have just arrived - be glad to escape the clutches of Santander when the English branches transfer to them.
