Or turn off the traction control, drop the clutch and see if both wheels make a mark !!!

I have an open diff and I leave 2 marks when i dump the clutch...

Can someone explain this to me. I thought with an open diff you effectively have only one wheel drive i.e the wheel with least resistance.

Thanks Gordon.

I'll ring either Lexus Manchester or Stockport tommorow and try to sort it out.

I was thinking - how much would a new Lexus Headunit be to buy? I might stick the replacement on eBay and then buy a new one with the money I got from the sale. I would really like one with Aux-in. Would this be possible? I know I would need a facia and some cables??

I was quoted €2,500 +VAT or €1,250 + the old headunit +VAT

for a new headunit here in Ireland .

Cheers I will have a look into it more.............. I didn't really think about the "long journey thing' good point!

Only applies really to a racing seat, I'm sure a bucket seat for road use would be fine.

Just keep it in mind, they look good but can get very uncomfortable after a while.

Got it sorted ...........

A while back there was a thread to about a service for making a DVD player region free, or changing the region setting somehow.

Santa Claus brought two Polaroid PDV-0820T portable DVD players to a friends house for his two sons this morning. He must have purchased them in the USA, as they are locked to region 1.

There are two very dissapointed boys across the road and I would be very grateful if anyone has a solution. I have searched the internet and can't find anything relating to this players region settings, except that it is region 1 by default.

Thanks in advance,

BTW White Christmas here in Ireland .... first I can remember. Seasons greetings to all.

Be VERY sure you want a racing/bucket seat before you put one in the car.

If you are doing a lot of driving they can be very uncomfortable after a while.

Worst car I ever drove was today , an Hyundai Sante Fe .... absolutely awful.

If you push back the pistons before removing the old pads its much easier. If you drop the old ones back in and push the pistons and pads back together you'll find they go back with very little effort.

Hope this sorts you out.

I was at Live Aid in Philadelphia ..... was so f***** up, I don't remember a thing about it .........

Does the DVD include coverage of the event in the US ?

They've taken over all transatlantic parcel delivery in Ireland and so far, any dealings I've had with them has been a nightmare.

If I click on "My Assistant" I just get a new window with the forums home page. If I log in to Gold and then come back to the normal forums, it works fine .......

Aerial lead is fine, reception is crystal clear ....... I'm stumped.

There's a company in the UK called "Jenvey Dynamics" who are into all that side of things. Specialize in competition cars but I'm sure they'd give you some advice on where to start.
