Thanks Graham much appreciated. I'm getting a full service in a couple weeks anyway so i'm going to ask them to have a look at that as well.

Ok thanks Barney will take a trip to my local garage.

Thanks Steve . Im going to assume its a similar set up. The belt thas squeeking the most is the altonator belt and thats the newest, i had it replaced in july. Im not much of a handyman with cars as im scared to touch the wrong thing. If i bring it to a mechanic how much do u think that would cost me roughly?

Happy new year to all

Need a bit of advice. When i start my car when its cold the belts are squeeking. My mate told me while the cars running spray the belts with WD40. Ive done that and it works but when i stop and the cars cold again they start squeeking again. I was thinking about greasing the belt runners. Is that a bad or good call and will that solve my problem? Or will that worsen it by making the belts slide off?

Thanks in advance guys.

Ahh yeah 16's are definately too small lol.. Thanks for that pal.

I have no idea.. It was a custom paintjob a guy done for me he mixed several colours to get that shade. Black, grey, white silver and gold.

Yeah good shout petay, but with me im fully independent, i want any possession of mines to me in my name and my name only, bcoz when sh*t hits the fan, no one can have a word above me lol.. Just me tho i suppose.

@noby u and i are in the same boat my friend

Yeah ur area has alot to do with it. If u decide to register it at ur cousins ensure to register ur licence there as well

Its that high bcz of where i live. I had a 1.8 T audi a3 and i was paying 230 before i got this car. My part of London insurers think they have a right to take the ***** out if vulnerable young folks like myself as we cant do anything about it :( believe me it was the cheapest and ive searched high and low. It wouldve been cheaper had i made someone else main driver and keeper, but im tryna build up my no claims etc so next 3 years i can graduate to the big boy league of cars :)

LOL @petay yep u read correctly per month mate. Its a killer but i wouldnt change my car for the world right now. Its the cheapest i could find and i refused to get any other car lol.. Plus ive got my bike insurance as well so u know the amount i spend on insuring my toys is actually ridiculous

im 22, ive got a is200 sport, and registered everything on my policy as standard, im the main driver and keeper and ive got 1 year no claims bonus. ive checked all the comparison sites i could think of and they all came up quite expensive. i live in london, so standardly my insurance would be more than anywhere else in the UK. i found that tesco insurance was the cheapest, im currently paying £210 per month. i think u should check tesco, especially if u or anyone u know has a clubcard with loads of points.

hope this helps.

if your looking to travel to london i can give u the details for my tint shop if that would be of any help.

Same here i'm changing my tints to a smoked grey mirror tint, and getting my headlights restored too lol

Lovely !!

Personally id love if with the app you can select notifications youd like to receive. For example if i have several web pages open id have to close some, as i use my mobile quite a lot with my job.

Just saying it would be handy for someone like me

Just a thought.. Is there a LOC iPhone/Android app coming anytime soon? Im sure that will be beneficial to many.

I use only shell vpower. It makes the engine run smoother and sound smoother as well. Also on take off the cars more responsive. Also i get about 40 - 50 more miles on a full tank. Just for an extra fiver when filling up its well worth it.

Have a look on eBay. Last month i bought a set of four which were fully refurbed, balanced and professionally painted for 280, so you probably wont get much for the two. Maybe 50 quid or so.

yup youre right Caspa.. Well i guess we can do a small meet as theres not many of us in and around London. Because i ride as well i'm there quite often..

lol cant really see much from that pic.

thats crazy.. any pics of your car John?

the only way youd be able to stop with the killed engine would be the hand brake but u gotta be a hell of a driver to pull that off at 70 on the motorway!

LOL Yup! I really wana change my tints tho to that smokey silver mirror tint hmm.. u doing anything to your engine?

LOOOL!! WHY?!? ive got alot of work to do to mines as well, but lets do a "before" and "after" meet :)
