    Cats using my new gravel area as a toilet!

    the clutch slave uses the brake fluid so you`ll need to top that up, and bleeding the system is the same as bleeding brakes, pump the cluch pedal up, hold down whilst someone else opens the bleed nipple on the slave, repeat until cluch pedal feels nice and all the air is out of the system,

    Tarmac path

    i think tarmac would look a bit neater than concreate, but tarmac would be more expensive, and price would depend on who is doing it, a ***** would do it for next to nothing, but you`d have to mow it a month after him doing it, personally i`d go with block paving, look a lot better, easier to...

    Alternator replacement: job for a newbie?

    Punto brake pads

    if you use cheap pads you`ll get no time on them, and if you like putting your foot to the floor everywhere until there is a red light, you`ll get no time out of them, the truth is only grannies get a lot of wear out of pads, and this is a wear and tear item, but 150 quid is a lot i think for a...
