wasnt gonna change it as it was a hire car and was on the motorway side
so called the rac and was gonna get the wheel out read but i couldnt see how it came off either
tbh ford KA's...206's...they suck anyway.
OMG lads. Inside the boot there is a small nut. Rotate this and it undoes the cage under the car. Then u can push the cage up and out of the clamp and slide the wheel off.
sayin that it isnt that easy you need a 19mm socket to undo it so your fucked if you haven't got one with you lol
They have a slot in them (the pugs do atleast) and you can get the back end of the wheel wrench in there to twist. Wheel wrench is clipped inside boot by the lights
P.S. Who carrys a 19mm socket with them....

so many idiots in this world.
not quite in the same idiocy league as davey lc's colleague but a guy at my work has a new shape focus with chrome strips all over it.
why? why the fuck would you put fake chrome strips from halfords all over your fucking car?
it looks fine as it is, no need to go all ethnic with the tacky shit.
even has his name (i think), says SUMIT in chrome letters on the tailgate.
fucking nob head. bet he thinks it looks the bollocks too.

That's always confused me.
People have different tastes obviously but how can anybody think the really stupid looking cars were ever a good idea?

it's a nice looking car aswell (same shape as mine), titanium iirc so near enough fully spec'd up with equipment.
i know these aren't factory fitted as ford don't do these things as options (probably because they look shite).
it's everywhere, on the rear bumper lines, under the windows, on the bonnet. absolute tit.

A bird at works Clio (last of the old shape so only a few years old) was sounding like a bucket of bolts so I told her to go and get some oil from the local motorfactor and I'd top it up.
When I pulled the dip stick out it was dry as a bone and black with carbon! I ended up putting in over 2 litres of oil.. How the hell was it still running!
Its hardly done any miles so I doubt its ever even had a service! 
WOMEN!
Why is it that a post in off day has got to 3 pages, and no one has asked for pics of this girl ?!?!?
I want to see boobs, not how much oil is on your dip stick !

Like clarkson once said, he has no interest in cooking so he doesn't cook, so the people who have no interest in cars shouldn't drive

Clarkson is one of these useless idiots when it comes to car maintenance though.

My cousin (girl + blonde + beautician), bout a brand new corsa c sxi in 04. She said about 2 months ago its making a funny noise. I said i would have a look nex time i see you.
I then see her a few weeks later and ask about the car. She found the problem. She has never serviced the car - ever. She has done like 35k in it aswell!
Couldnt get the oil cap off
