That is about the normal going price for them, sure you can find them for less but not that often

I love your car I love your car

Duncan, don't you work at a car restoration place? Surely refurbing those wheels should be a doddle for you? Do rather like your MK2, got a soft spot for them! I really need to have a drive in a 944 now, i'm getting a little obsessed with getting one and just need to know if I actually like it once i'm behind the wheel As usual with the threat of being sold, the Saab is working really well (even the lumping when changing gear has stopped...)...however the MOT is due soon so i'm sure some gremlins shall be revealed! I'm also thinking of selling my T25 Doka due to being limited with time and having the Commer to finish, but I haven't got a clue what it is worth these days. Outer panels are shot as you can see, everything else is solid, full VW service history, 45k miles. What do you lot think it''ll fetch?

You can just drill the end caps to 9mm and use a 9mm QR through axle, I'm running one on my MTB and it has been great http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=286

No worries, there are other brands to go for but Superstar are well priced, free postage and the same as everybody elses... Tarty also has a good range at good prices too! http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/splined_sprockets/c28.html

Only if they try for a PayPal claim. Make sure you have a tracking number by sending it recorded and keep the receipt as proof of purchase, that way you can prove if they have received it or not

You have a rear freehub (where the sprockets go onto a splined interface that houses the ratchet). A freewheel is is the sprocket and ratchet combined into 1 unit. You need one of these if you have spacers already: http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=58&products_id=267 Or one of these if you don't: http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=58&products_id=265

I'm on my PGCE currently, teaching Design and Technology. The workload is beyond anything I have ever done before, and it is is both mentally and emotionally tiring. I work pretty much non stop, and have very little time to go out/have my own time, this is probably the worst part of it all. On the positive side, it is pretty cool seeing the kids 'grow' and realising that they are becoming pretty kickass because of you. I teach from 11-18yrs, covering Resistant Materials, Product Design, Graphics, System and Control, Textiles and a little bit of Photography. Teaching Physics will often mean you will need to be able to teach maths too (going by what other Physics trainees have told me), usually only for KS3 (11-14) though. During your first placement it is unlikely you will teach anything other than KS3, then second placement they will let you go to KS4 and maybe KS5 if they feel they can trust you, many people that I know are not allowed to go near yr11, 12 or 13 due to it being so close to exam time. If you think you want to do teaching, then I suggest you get yourself into some schools and shadow some teachers. This not only helps reinforce whether or not you wish to pursue teaching as a career, but will also look good on your application and they can see you have a keen interest. I already had experience working with children in foster care, I did charity work with berieved children and I mentored students at a school during uni as well as gaining experience by shadowing at a school. Schools love that soet of stuff, it shows you actually like kids, and that it also seperates you from the others. The skills tests are a piece of cake, I did mine recently and couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about! Finance wise, my friend doing Physics is getting 20K this year...she is coping pretty well I get nothing as my PGCE is part of my BA. Free time as a qualified teacher seems to depend on a few things, firstly the time of year (getting towards exam time gets pretty hectic) and also depends on the kind of teacher you are and how much work you actually give out. From what I have gathered the first 3 years are pretty full on, it gets slightly more relaxed after that. I actually don't spend a great deal of time marking...but I think I am just getting pretty quick at it! The worst part about teaching right now is finding a job. It is REALLY competitive and you need to be so on the ball in interviews. I'm awaiting my first real interview (had a mock one at my placement school) and I know it is highly unlikely I will get it as the school is outstanding according to Ofsted (Although my progress report suggest i'm getting close to being an outstanding teacher so fingers crossed!).

Yeah a softer compound might be in order, Just want it to act as much like stock as possible! With the tractor engine in there I am sure it'll vibrate loads othewrwise

Yeah just read up about it! Just wondering how much it'll increase vibration now, kind of want to avoid it being too rumbly

I think I need new engine mounts, cars lumpy when changing gear no matter how smooth I am (progressively got worse over time, and I have no issues in other cars so I know it is not me ). Whats that stuff people use to fill the mounts with? I was thinking of doing some sort of bodge repair as I cant afford new mounts, nor do I wish to spend any extra money on this car if I can help it

I hadn't realised how cool yours looked since doing the projector conversion, looks TONS better!

You can connect Arduinos up to OBD sockets and have them display information on an LCD screen. The works already done for you electronics wise (there are guides online), its just about making it look pretty... An ipod cable that splits into 3 wires: charging, 3.5mm aux and skip track/play/pause/etc would be pretty cool, I would really like something like that

Ha Ha! I wanted Pashley but it was already taken

Its brazed, just like Leesons were and its a pretty tough joint. Brazed joints have more give than mig/tig welded ones, making them less likely to crack Apart from looking cool, I freaking hated my Curtis T1 though, such a nasty bike to ride! Forks snapped within 2 weeks and Gary Curtis was a total mong about it

Araldite an allen key into the bolt head then?

The slot method works well although it looks like it may be awkward to achieve in that location

That's WAY cheaper than I expected! Looks like the Commer will be in for a treat

How much do they charge roughly?

We sold my grandads one for £40....I was 11 and didn't really understand why anybody would pay money for a mini

This is surely to scale?

I don't really get the plastic parts...surely they don't function?

Spacers, spacers, SPACERS! Oh and spray the rims black Standard Leons have aged so much better than the standard A3s and Golfs of their time

The Diabolous cranks I had were freaking terrible. I broke the left arm within a week and the replacement set developed play very quickly at the BB (yet the bearings seemed absolutely smooth and fine). I replaced them with Saints and had no issues after that
