I remember having to cary my Pioneer 'face off' stereo with me when I parked up in town. Mind you, it was more valuable then the car it was in! Your radio goes tits up these days you just go to a scrap yard and buy an exact replacement. Also car stereos in every car are a much better standard these days Same goes for alloy wheels these days too, not sure why they still come with pain in the ass locking wheel nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I had a vehicle that stowed the spare underneath (an old shape Galaxy) it was a pain in the arse to even get the spare wheel out as you had to lower it using the wheel brace from inside the vehicle. Is that not the case with the Disco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not the case with the Disco? They have a nice winch mechanism on the inside of the boot that lowers it to the ground but the thieves don’t concern themselves with that, they just cut the cable with some bolt cutters from underneath and run off.

Sounds like a design fault then, there was absolutely no way to get bolt cutters underneath to cut the cable on a Galaxy, the top side of the tyre was flush against the chassis and from underneath there was a plate blocking access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted May 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2018 Items on the BBC news tonight: Roman Abramovich has experienced some delays in the renewal of his visa. Meghan Markle's wedding dress designer worked closely with her on the design. Some train timetables have changed. Clearly, nothing has happened in the world today.

Yeah this was a big thing when I was still there. Didn't they have to send a communication round telling people not to park Discos in certain car parks at work because people were coming in every day and stealing spare wheels!

Yes, this was at (Whitley) Coventry. Disco owners have their own area patrolled by security because of the locals thriving spare wheel business.

mjmooney Posted May 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2018 Many years ago I had a Vauxhall Cavalier, and somebody stole the exhaust pipe, from the street outside our house. It wasn't even a new exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Does anyone else get spaz hands from time to time? As in, you think you're holding something pretty normally and all of a sudden you're juggling it around and it's on floor. Just done this with a jar of salt at work. Proper nobber. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
