  1. Samuel Dyer H103605 get back to work and stop skiving, associate technical professional doesn't qualify as an engineer either ;-)
  2. sure there are instructions online too, movement on that one is fairly simple and almost the same as this one. Just take one off with the bridge and wheel attached and replace it with another one from a second hand watch or new spare part.http://www.clockmaker.com.au/diy_seiko_7s26/chapter9.html
  3. Balance wheel replacement isn't complicated Ray, do it yourself. Need a watch back opener a small screw driver and either a second hand sold for spares like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEIKO-SCUBA-DIVERS-WATCH-4205-0153-SPARES-REPAIR-/200874281558?pt=UK_Jewellery_Watches_Pocket_Watches_Accessories_ET&hash=item2ec50a4a56&ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:GB:101#ht_2092wt_1035 or order a new balance wheel. If you want it to be waterproof you need to buy a new seals kit too with that version but you should be able to buy all the bits and fit them in 30min for £60 tops. Ebay somewhere like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_from=&_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ssn=thewatchcollector&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc for spare parts, just two screws to take off the bridge and balance wheel once you have the back off.
  4. Even I've got more posts than Ray, Crusoe for admin
  5. Think we've proven Scotty wrong - "spammy useless topics in here" is still possible
  6. Bit of a dump with too many speed cameras and why does the pier close at 5?
  7. Went halfs with my brother on a new fiat chiquichento sporting complete with red seatbelts, never did get round to fitting a turbo though.
  8. Love you too Nix Was down your way at South End on Sea over new year. [worried yet...]
  9. No xenons because they couldn't afford to change the bulbs, no climate control because they struggle to use a twisty dial as it is etc.

    So the important part of all of this is... where is the daughter's account and why hasn't she posted in girls of club lupo yet (sorry Geoff)
  11. Averaged 26.6mpg in 30k miles in a E46 M3 driven pretty hard, mad if you get less than that from a lupo with half the engine size and almost a third of the power. Only a small 1.6 with not a huge amount of power in a light car so should be able to get 40+mpg easily, used to get 300-35 from a tank on longer trips and 250ish average.
  12. Original Equipment Manufacturer – Real VW lupo bits for example Original Equipment Manufacturer Plus – New Mk6 golf wheels on a Lupo
  13. Younger brother was in a similar position, hooked him up with a low milage mazda 3 mps. Quick, mechanical diff at the front, easy to tune up and not too bad on insurance.
  14. Too skinny, something more like Sophie Howard or maybe Rosie Jones for you younger lot
