Fat fives , Phoenix , etc .

Wish I could afford the fat fives but alias not so for now its between these. The jade are slightly wider giving a bit of stretch on them

One set will be for sale either £250 for the Jade R or £200 for the Riva's

Bought some wheels yesterday fitted the back two now they are on I am not sure should I keep the jade r or go with the black riva's? http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f187/Tollyhero/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160605_194452_zps7rbyxbaa.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f187/Tollyhero/Mobile%20Uploads...

I think it looks good great effort wish my DIY jobs turned out half that good.

I know most seem to hate it, I remember top gear in the early days with Clarkson and Hammond it wasn't that good then. But did everyone not think the recycled jokes were getting very old bumping eachother that was so old the new one is doing it to take the pee. I think it needs work they have a hard...

it could just be the stereo sometimes if wires are close together they can start a low pitched rumble though this is normally when running amps but I dare say with all the gizmo's these days it could be related.

Golf mk4 age onwards anything from polo, golf, passat etc etc




Sent using the Farce

I still like these best nice and comfy

Where abouts are you? If your close pop round and we'll give this Mercedes Benz tool a go. The poor mechanic that last serviced the car before I bought it left it on. I've used it ever since and it fits very nicely. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/colin__/AA%20Passat%20Highline/Photo0493_zps...

I tried the second type a few weeks ago but no good. May try the strap kind I may have to take it to someone with an air gun see if that does it

I did try an old style chain on the plastic also over the top of the tool.

I think a trip the scrappies is in order

Was thinking that looked on ebay they start at about 18 quid

I am wondering what is on the underside of the cap as I may as well cut it off

Seriously bin the halfords one, i had one i tried to use on my crafter and the square hold got chewed up too. Buy one of these which are so much better quality and you can use a socket on it if you wish. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-VW-VOLKSWAGEN-SPECIAL-TOOL-OIL-FILTER-REMOVAL-REMOVER-3417-/3...

Well an update new tool here still no good the tool is just not deep enough to adequately grip the top it needs to be about 7-10 mm deeper to actually grip it without twisting off under pressure. I guess it's game over for it to be honest totally fed up with it

Thanks

It's now got a jap style number plate remove on the front

Toying with the idea of selling soon maybe oh i dunno

Update have ordered the 74mm from ebay not bad £4 posted and in the UK so fingers crossed
