Halfords Shopping - kyleo92 - 12-09-2012
So thought I'd stop into Twickenham Halfords to see if there's anything I need...
£70 later I'm happy
The chavvy max power book is actually really useful and will be handy for me dropping my suspension... But has got some weird and wonderful ideas in it..
Can't wait to try the clay bars.. It was £24.99 and you got a bottle of speed detailer, 2 clay bars + holder for them and a micro fibre cloth which I thought was good.
California scents...Just cause I wanted my car to smell like the sea
Finally got a stereo facia as well
And just wanted to try some injector cleaner to see if it actually works

:think: wonders how much discount without the book and with a trade card.. hmmm
RE: Halfords Shopping - swampy - 12-09-2012
A proper Haynes would be more beneficial

Probably very little to be honest.

Come to think of it... It would have been.. But that wouldn't have given me ideas.
I'm sure I have the proper Haynes on PDF somewhere..

Yeah there discounts on things such as cleaning products + ICE isn't very beneficial.. But I use my friends trade card for car batteries and a few other bits
RE: Halfords Shopping - Toms306 - 12-09-2012
Trade card only gives discounts on parts and tools really.
Still, 70 quid is a lot to spend in halfords in one go!

If you looked on .net carefully there is a .pdf copy of that manual.

But you need to be a "community supporter" to view that and pay £x
So if you looked on Google and known where to look there is a free copy out there on the interwebz
I was a CS over there buy still went and bought a Haynes and judging by the oil and muck that got on it mid job its good I did lol rather a bit of paper than a £500 phone gets covered in oily hands lol
RE: Halfords Shopping - cully - 12-09-2012

I don't think you'll find it!
And I agree with 4Way, a paper copy is invaluable whilst actually working on the car especially with oily/dirty hands!

That injector cleaner is shit, my Rallye has had two bottles so far and it still sucks
RE: Halfords Shopping - gareth7 - 13-09-2012
So's the manual.......far more in depth info on here and .net....especially when it comes to lowering guides
RE: Halfords Shopping - Grant - 13-09-2012
That's cos your rallye is f*cked Matt! Get some tapping reducer if they sell it

diesel injector cleaner in a Petrol??????
you would be better off chucking a handfull of sawdust in the oil
would cure the tapping

LOL!!
Might have to try the sawdust trick to stop my tapping....
Sawdust trick always reminds me of when I was like 5 watching matilda and he does it on that ha!
RE: Halfords Shopping - Toms306 - 13-09-2012
You could just stick thicker oil in lol, the treacle-like 15-40 oil that Tesco sell should be fine........
RE: Halfords Shopping - Niall - 13-09-2012
Or you could just have the cams out and the lifters and replace the tapping one!
RE: Halfords Shopping - Eeyore - 13-09-2012
I actually really like the max power manual. Its been really useful on several occasions and does give loads of ideas! However you can get it very cheaply off ebay or amazon! Wouldnt have got it new from halfords myself.

You not considered the single wiper conversion
Yeah I know it was very impulse bought..
Clay bar is awesome btw
RE: Halfords Shopping - Curt - 13-09-2012
