I find it quite cowardly that TDI hasnt a response to any of the recent revelations
The thing that worrys me is, there is a much bigger world outside LOC. And I wonder how many non- Lexus branded cars are being subjected to the same cowboy antics, worse still which ones have being fed utter BS and been made a mug of.
Does Gordan Ramsey do a Car version of 'Kitchen Nightmares'? Sure he could teach Mark a thing or two :P

I shall try and keep this as short as possible , my cars MOT run out a couple of weeks ago so i took her to the same garage that i always use for MOT'S and she failed on emissions , i feel like i'm up the creak without a paddle , what do i do ?, well most of the work of installing the new supercharger at TDI was carried out by wayne , Wayne and Phil who used to work at TDI have left to set up there own garage called SPC Horsham , so because i know how good there work is i gave them a ring , a few days later the car was booked in for a MOT , befor any work was done she was put on the dyno , she has always ran rich , lots of smoke comming from the exhaust when accelerating , and only 220 miles per tank of fuel , i could not belive my eyes when she only made 278.1 HP at the flywheel , gutted dont even come close :tsktsk: , any way it needed to be looked at , so i left my baby with them , befor i picked her up she was sucking in air like it was going out of fashion and in doing so managed to IMPLODE the tte airbox , so Wayne made up a custom induction system with Apexi air filter , nice , back on the rollers Ike Flack was working his magic , very nice , i picked my car up a few days ago and its like a different car , gone is the harsh tickover , gone is the smoke , she is so smooth now , even the gear change is nicer , and she is a lot quieter now , and she passed her MOT :D , and this is the best bit , both befor and after dyno runs are on video and will be on the web very soon , :D , i am now the proud owner of 364.5 HP and 318.3 ft/lb torque , and will NEVER EVER go back to TDI . Thankyou Phil , Wayne , Ike , Dave , at SPC Horsham , :D
Wow. TDI are going out of fashion very quick.

HAppy Birthday Raj and Terry! :D

Its nuts isnt it.. Mr Morse ranted and raving about how his IS300 was going to be the baddest thing the world had ever seen.. Then it fell flat on his face looking rather silly
Anyways, maybe this time someone gets it done for real and doesn't take a course of its own. Good luck mate :)

If it were me, Supercharger :winky:

Everything went through fine then :)

*****.. don't come on here that much, but i'm really sorry to hear your nightmare story. I hope it gets sorted.
Though its noted the rods are weak point on this motor, i agree with Gord on post #172
All the best.

Megs gold class wax isn't a 'pure wax'. its a polish with carnuaba content inside.
Megs proffesional line product is very good. The retail stuff like gold class is so so, but some of the better stuff you can buy from Halfords.
I personally binned all my megs retail stuff because its simply isn't all that :)

Cant recommend either bass junkies or cas the customer service from them are somewhat lacking
I can however whole heartedly recommend www.caraudiodirect.com
Dito.
As i work in the trade and supply to Car Audio Direct my comments could be seen as biased. However, they are recognised as the best online retailers with fantastic service.
Note: if its pricewars, then hit them up, they can pricematch most of the time (minus that you will find on eBay)

Mine is for sale very soon

I used worldpay for 3yrs, stoped due to charges increasing and due to the 30days it took to get the money cleared into my account.
I went to Streamline clears in 3 days. However for e-commerce i would also look at paypals new attractions

Anything can be done. The one i use in mine is the pulley on the alternator. I have no specs for the size, but its smaller. You need to remove your Alt pulley and send it to a engineering machine shop. But without specs, your going to be gambling alot.

I had a kazama on mine, for 2 days. It was obsenely loud. Nicely made exhaust, but your brave if you want to have something that loud.
