I will help members with some odd jobs at trax but nothing big.

I will also bring my Laptop and my GM MDI for members to use at there own risk (Please note it's free for models up 2012) so any models 2012 or newer won't be able to use it as I wont have internet nor paying the hourly rate that GM want.
i will be doing a few odd jobs also with in reason as i have a bit to do all ready

1, fit LED DRL resistors for camaron.
2, fitting mtec h7,s lights for whalen.
3, drilling holes for winders in lewis,s rear door cards.
Lewis said he'd wait as he's planning rear elec windows he's worse than a woman always changing his mind.
very expensive that i would not bother
I'm willing to help out on any work members require, I'll be bringing a comprehensive tool kit.

I think someone was enquiring about bumper removal but can't remember who
my self, dicko and john should be meeting at M6 knutsford
but we still need to agree a time
and planning on meeting you lot some were on route On the M1
anyone else wanting to meet on the way m6 before birmingham

Never seen one of these before, what bats does it run off?

Didn't you buy a little gen for trax?

WhelanUK here is the part number 13319462

Autovaux do them http://www.autovaux.co.uk/product/13319462-lamp.aspx

But they maybe cheaper from the dealer as Autovaux add postage onto it so double check.

Saying that though Lewis6317 might have a couple spare as he's upgraded to full leather now.
Yeh sold the genny for double the money lol, it runs off AA batteries, they are £10 from maplins
Lol Think I would rather use a electric or gas one thou mate.
Spare whate?

I'm happy to help with this if tucpal is busy mate
i can do it but i will have to cut the old grill out to save the clips in the bumper
as they are a real nightmare to do
bring a blanket to sit the bumper on so it does not get scratched when it is off the car
Cheers guys will do.
4.30 oh my god good job I am only down the road
