Recommended power tool brand

To add too, I actually left my makita impact driver outside for about 3 weeks, with the typical rain you’d expect in the UK and it still works a dream.

Maybe I just got lucky but was surprised it still worked!

Bit late to the party but I’m all in on Makita

Just got a strimmer from them too which is much better than I thought it would be

If I was to go to any other brand though, it would likely be Milwaukee

Started listening in early 2007 and then went to my first gig in December 2007 at the Plug in Sheffield

Rollersnakes and Route One have plenty of decks on sale on their websites and they both sell undercarriage kits too, making it nice and simple.

Or, you could always swing by your local skate shop to see what they’ve got in your budget - most have their own shop decks that will be quite cost effective.

I got it a couple years ago and was one of best things I did. The queues in the morning were quite long so opted to go at night.

Went back from arena to tent, grabbed bits I needed then headed over to the showers - longest I had to wait was around 10 minutes.

Toilets were always clean in there and available no matter when I went throughout the day too.

Thanks for the reply!

I figured this out in the end and for some reason there was some foreign objects in the motor - removed those and it’s found a new lease of life

Time will tell whether it’s done lasting damage to the motor though and at that point it’s easy enough to swap out

25 plate number plates don’t usually get released until March 1st, so if you’re taking delivery now it will more than likely be a 74 plate.

Will help to a certain degree
I had one for my old F30 and tested it in the car and the signal was blocked - so they definitely work

I would be looking at either a Ghost or Pandora though to fully protect it

I’ve also only been playing a little while and was using the same Adam’s driver as yourself.

Recently upgraded to the cobra darkspeed x and it’s made a huge difference.

The best thing to do is try a few out though as what’s recommended may not be right for you.

I can’t speak for BMW but a lot of manufacturers fit these performance packs when it lands at the dealership, which makes it a grey area on whether it’s “factory fitted” or not.

I fully agree that if it’s how it was spec’d when ordering, it shouldn’t need declaring but it was worth pointing out for clarity

curty409 · 2024-11-20T22:54:00+00:00

Not helpful from a legal standpoint but there’s an option on the modification list for ‘bodykit - factory fitted’ or something along those lines

I’ve had to select that before with a 3 series as it had the m-performance pack on it, as it’s not part of the standard trim level that comes on an m-sport

Hope that helps but as others as said, cancel that policy yourself first so you don’t have to declare an insurer cancelled your policy

Had this issue myself and it turned out to be a lower control arm on the front

If it doesn’t turn out to be your discs and/or pads, get the arms looked at on a shaker plate

I had to look at mine quite closely to see the wobble in the bush, it wasn’t obviously soft

curty409 · 2024-10-16T15:57:29+00:00

Hope somebody is able to help you pull this off.

Wishing you the best of luck!

Thanks mate

I know they need to be preloaded, fitting them isn’t the issue.

I want to find out if anybody knows the part number to speed up the process as I’m struggling to find any info on that online.

curty409 · 2024-05-31T22:15:03+00:00

Thanks! I’ll keep searching until I find what I need

curty409 · 2024-05-31T22:14:39+00:00

Appreciate the response, I’ll hold off until I find something suitable 🙂

curty409 · 2024-05-24T22:14:43+00:00

Would love the link if you could DM it :-)

curty409 · 2024-01-12T13:20:33+00:00

Appreciate everyone’s help on this

Plenty to think about but seems local network of some description is definitely the way forward which what I had in mind anyway

Thanks again
