@ Fargo - Ebay are not interested in the case at all, and the seller won't even reply to my messages, despite me leaving them the worst feedback possible. I asked them if there was anything else i could do, and they said, quite plainly and simply - No. Basically, the only mounts left are the ones that bolt into the wheel arch area. I do have a spare set of units that have been opened, so could probably nick some of the bracket points from there and glue them on, but i don't want it to look tacky (i like neat things!). Might give that a try! Cheers Fellas! Stu

Right, I was bidding on, and won, a set of standard headlights on ebay a while back, and the seller advertised that they had one of the mounting clips broken, which isn't a huge issue, as mine have one broken too. Basically, they arrived, and the only points that are actually able to be secured are the bolts that you access from the wheel arch, all the other mounting points are busted. Now, i have tried getting my money back, talking to the seller etc. but have had no luck whatsoever, and have basically been told by ebay that it's my issue, despite the problem i am now faced with. I paid just over £100 notes for them, and the seller doesn't answer emails, phone calls, messages or anything, so i am well and truly stuck with them. So, as i spent so much cash on them, i am wandering if i could use them as i had originally planned, just mount the eyelids on them, and put them on the car. I don't think they'll move, coz of the grille etc holding that area of the lights in place, but i can't be sure. Don't even know if it'll pass an MOT with them like that. Before anyone says that i should get my money back from the seller etc etc, ebay DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT, and have said that it's my problem, so let that be a warning to all you ebayers, their policy on problems is ******* and not worth the paper it's written on, it has a cluase in it somewhere that allows them to not do anything about it obviously! :megaangry: Anyone advise me on the headlights then? Stu

Don't think he'll travel that far for 15 notes!!!!!!!! :D Have you looked for someone down your way? Avoid the big companies, and try and find someone that does mobile work, thats what i did, and i got a cracking deal! Stu

Not a problem i have with mine, and i've not heard of it before either. Have you spoken to your dealer about it? Stu

seen this before somewhere, it has done the rounds under several different names, still quite good though! Though i will ask, who in their right mind sits and works these things out?!?!?!?!?! :P Stu

i've always been a fan of the 306 personally, i had a 1.9 D Turbo Sports, and that was as reliable as the Lex is for sure! Don't know if they made them in auto though. Stu

Yep, got exactly the same problem with my littluns seat! It's a rear facing Gracco seat, and the seatbelt does extend around it, but only just, which makes getting it out an absolute :tsktsk: !!!!! What i do to ensure that the seat ain't gonna go anywhere, just incase the seatbelt doesn't have hold properly (coz i thought there was something wrong at first too!) is back the passenger seat up close to it, so that if it does come undone, it can only move about 1/4 of an inch forward. Stu

I'd say one of three really: Black - coz it looks real mean and will shine like hell when it's cleaned and waxed! Granite - coz i like it, and when waxed and polished, it looks spot on! Blue - coz i haven't seen an RX in blue yet. Ever! Stu

Probably out of date, it's been about a year since this thread was started! I'll see if i can dig them up later and put them in again! You thinking of cleaning your bay out then Ifraz?!?! Stu

What classes will you be entering that into then Mr E?!?!?!?!?!? :P It'll be good to see the work thats going on on your IS sometime, hopefully you will be able to bring it to at least one of the shows! Keep up the work on it sir!! :D Stu

No probs! I really would avoid steam cleaning if you can, water has this horrible tendancy to get into the places that you really don't want it to go, and when you use a pressure flow of water, it gets into even more places that can cause real problems!!! I just use a valeting firm to come and do mine, they charge £15 for the engine bay, they wash it out, use de-greasant on it, then rinse it out again, then dry it, then they dress all the parts that need it, i.e. covers, paintwork, they even did the manifold heat shield last time! Not bad for £15 i think!!! (and it takes them over an hour to do!) See if you can find a local guy to you that does it, they are usually pretty good, and by far the cheapest! Look forward to seeing your results at the shows this year! :D Stu

BUMPED!! Not because i need advice on it, but in case some other new members do! Stu

Here you go, have a look here! Should give you all the answers you need! CLICKY HERE (you could just do what i did and pay someone else to cut their hands to shreds on the engine instead of you!!! :P) Stu

You're better off getting some engine de-greasant and going like that. There's a workshop article or similar somewhere on the site, i'll try and find it. Stu

As we all know, show season is on the way!!!! :D :D So, what have you got lined up for your cars for the shows??? Should be a good year for them, after seeing what sort of work people have been doing on their cars since last year's shows!! Stu

very good! Stu

blimey, is that a young Mr Ellen?!?!?!?! Stu

Even Better! Fancy Setting up another GB Mr S? Stu

All the link does it route me to the AOL home page bud. Stu

Think it was about that, can't remember for sure. Have you looked in the Group Buy area of the forum? If you are interested in getting some, why not suggest it as a group buy again? I'm sure that there are a few members that would like to get some! Stu

The list of companies that offer discounts is quite substantial, we curently have in excess of 100 separate companies that offer GOLD members discounts, ranging from 5% to 15% off. Plus, as a GOLDIE, you get the opportunity to suggest companies for us to approach for discounts, so you can get even more out of the membership if you like! Seriously man, i've been a member of the club for 20 months now, paid my GOLD subscription twice, and have saved well over double what i have paid out. Stu

Excellent stuff Pete! Think i might need to give them a call myself, my premium is close to 1k since the accident, and that's with mods declared. Well thats put some more cash into the fold for mods on Genesis! What you gonna spend it on?! :P Stu
