    i just normally whack the hell out of the top of the screw, this usually shocks it enough and then screws out. Im a mecham=nic and change discs regular and never had to drill out.

    1.8 20v Advice And Opinions

    I have a toledo 1.8 20vt on an 03 plate and its just done 100.000miles. It still drives spot on and handles well for a family car. I get around 30mpg on the work run going steady but can drop to 20mpg if late :D. On a run it gets a bit better and its about 36mpg ish depending on driving style...

    Tyres Again - Uniroyal Rainsport 2 Vs Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta - Opinions?

    It will have a yellow dot or white paint dot on the sidewall of the tyre, this must go in line to the tyres valve. This ensures that when its balanced it should balance using as little amount of balance weights as possible. Also check if its a directional tyre its on the right side of the car...

    toledo tcs/esp light flickering and battery drain

    Have u tried disconnecting the battery to see if it resets itself. I ususally leave it off over night then reconnect in the morning n most things usually fix themselves. Sounds odd but most electrical things are. Worth a try in my opinion.

Trying to get parts out of them is even hard work, a simple leon cupra r splitter shouldnt have caused me so much stress and to make it worse i walked out without one. This was 8 months or so ago, ive been reluctant...
