Found out what my problem was/is (thanks DPJ). Failed/failing DV!

So straight in the loft and dig out my OM dv and wack it on. Happy days, boost back to normal now.
So I now need a new DV, prob get a Forge 007p.

I've also emailed Bailey to see if they do a sercise kit for my goosed DV30. In the mean time I've stripped, cleaned and oiled it as it seamed like it was very dry inside and could of caused the seal on the pistion to stick. I'm gona stick it back on and try it on the way to football tonight.
 
Booked in to get my wheels refurbed on 21st. Going a slightly darker shade of anthresite.

You know what im going to say, piccies :D lol, just had a look on ya thread again, looks smart mate cant wait to see the new colour on the wheels, should suit the colour of the car :)

Nice! I think I may be going for that like I want to change me colour also, thanks for that:D
 
I have now canceled with Alloyfix and I'm now going with someone els.
I am now going with A1-Autocraft who are based on team valley and they make replica Cobra's. I was just passing them the other day and seen them refurbing some wheels so I asked them for a price and they were cheaper. I can also have any colour and finish I want so dont have to pick from a chart :D Also I dont think that Alloyfix remove the tires and Autocraft defo do. End of the day they do it the proper way.
 
Does anyone like the new look ;)

Yeh the front ones are pretty bad.

The spare wheel not covering the front brakes is a bit of bad design though.....not very well thought through.

The srare wheel is a full size alloy but as I need 2 but only have 1, so I lent 2 steelies for a week ;)

I'm getting them done at http://www.a1autocraft.co.uk/garage/garage.html as there are bases just round the corner from where I work. They specialise in building replica Cobras, GT40's and stuff like that. He said he will do them for £180 for the 4 and I can have any colour and finish I want :D
