i've had this same problem, very very intermittent and not happened for months and so never got to work out what causes it to keep opening. if you do ever find whats causing this problem can you let us know the outcome.

anymore light to throw on this??

I must confirm from my own experience that tyres change a lot the driving on snow/ice. I got my car with user Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 tyres (225/45 R17), even though they are supposed to be winter tyres (M+S), they failed on deep snow to provide decent traction. Recently switched to Bridgestone Blizzak Nordic WN-01 (205/55 R16). Of course, these have more tread on them as of today, but they definitely perform much better on deep snow than the ones I had before. I think the width of the tyre could also play a big role in this case.

yes indeed they do the thinner the tire the better anyone got any 2cv citreon wheels to prove it? wide tires are yellow snow poor lol

I meant to be driving from Basingstoke to Peterborough at 6am tomorrow, anyone in the Peterborough area with an update on the snow there?

erm......Do you want to borrow a 4x4 Hilux

Dean

i may be intersested:)

can you let me know as well please asi, been after one for a while now, thanks for the heads up :)

i seem to remember a discussion on this a few months ago mate but cant remember what the outcome was try having a search wouldnt of thought it be that far back.

put the wire so that it comes up from the carpet about half way in the middle of the chair then it should have a pretty much equal distance to travel in each direction, shouldn't end up with to much excess that way mate.

check the backing plates behind the brake disc's again matey sounds like it could be one of them rubbing they tend to get quite out of shape even tho you grinded it down. worth a doing as it wont cost to push them out again. failing that tighten up all the bolts on the callipers? other than that im out of ideas mate.

looks similar to a proton satria, i think i quite like it

well their showroom still looks like a building site at the moment so hopefully it wont open lol

question is how much is one of these worth ?

they normally sell for between £1800 and £2500 give or take depends on the make model and how many people want to fight over it.

i had a 250 as a courtesy car while my 300 was in for service and i must say i love my 300 compared to the 250 the 300 is a lot better to drive in my opinion but my 300 is nowhere near its original setup compared to the standard setup of the 250, the 250 felt like a boat if im honest, the only good thing i would steal from the 250 is the up/down shift on the gear lever as well as having the steering wheel buttons.

tried racing a M3 a couple of weeks back....hhhhmmmmm :$ not advised, i got undertaken and smoked :D

hmm...

343bhp M3 vs 153bhp IS200? What were you thinking man! The M3 will leave you for dead.

was worth a bash ha ha, i thought i had him when he started dropping back and then by the time i looked in my mirror he was undertaking me.

Dont worry matey i loose as well, so having a 300 dont help either against those pesky m3's but its fun trying to keep up! also not had much experience with the trc off apart from doing donuts out side work =)

mine was £800and something fully comp with 4 years nc, but i did a search yesterday cos i was bored using a site called Emodified they gave me a quote of £1400ish but they have an option to search other brokers through their website and i managed to get the cheapest quote at just over £500 with all modifications listed, but the most expensive was a shockingly steep £4500!!! and the ones im insured with at present refused to give me a new quote lol.

janey/jason, when do you want payments for these mate?

sorry i double posted oops (edited)

glad ya back safe mate, i nearly got exploded at the khan kalise when i was over there.

i drew something like that in the back of my old maths book at school 15 years ago lol. wonder if i can claim some copyrights? i like the front end of it but the back looks to french like peugeot and renault back ends do, and i dont like them so change the back end and they'll be getting somewhere.

welcome to loc mate, just a guess as i dont know your engine setup but sounds like you've not conected the air flow sensor correctly, but that is just a guess.
