    Wheel nearly came off recently bought car

    No the nuts are not tightened there, thats exactly as it was when I stopped, it didnt come from a Merc main dealer, the wheels were refurbed before I bought it and Im not sure what wheels they are, better pic below, there is definite damage to the bolt holes at least one of them is oval shaped now.

    What car for 3k ?

    Just to update this, I saw this locally and got it for cheap (£1800), not as fast as I wanted but it will do for now, its a 1.8 diesel, 105k on the clock absolutely stinks of cigarette smoke though, I cant drive it with the windows up without getting a headache, any tips on shifting that ?

    Spec me a new router

    ECI B-Focus V2Fub/r Rev.B, Its a old open reach one from when sky used to use them, still had mine stashed in the attick. From the research I did a lot of people recommend the Draytek Vigor 130 but the old open reach ones can be had for next to nothing, apparently the ECI modem will only work...

    MK1 Focus engines 1.6 vs 1.8

    Not a answer to your question but my Mk 1 1.8 was very thirsty, I replaced it with a Mk 2 1.6 and got around 120 miles more to a tank, the 1.8 was a lot quicker though.
