Raymond.

Dan kan ik gewoon Nederlands tegen je praten Jason?

Light dusting of snow this morning. Hope it stays like that. The winters are not going on again!

Been running winter tyres for about 7 years now and would not change (unless I dropped on some ultra high performance Falken Azenis FK-543's) Had a set of 18's on the Range Rover, a set of 16's on the 5-Series and a set of 17's for the IS. Much better to have a winter set the same size as your summers so you don't feel the difference changing them over. Range Rover was worst with going from 18's back to 22 summers.

Just taken mine off yesterday. For the second time this year...

You bought this for your car? Is it the DVD based one? It's the CD based one. I was going to use a DVD computer with the setup but I'm not sure how long the car will be staying. It's all hung up in the shed ATM.

10 minute job really............ ... Not!

As Ian and Chris mentioned. The loom is rather ridiculous. Left one is the one from under the dash, the other runs from the O/S fuse box to the boot.

That looks a sexy thing in white!

Glad they stopped working years ago...

....and happy Easter!

How many times?? The engine is NOT identical Knobby.

I VERY much doubt this Knobby!!!

You need to talk to Kenny next month. He's got a sauna. I'd say get a hot tub instead though..

That's just the poverty spec fridge from last night :D This was when we still had snow. Now this is a tub fridge!

Good stuff it is. Not so in the morning though...

It's Slivovitz, to keep you warm for when you DO need to get out to use the toilet...

Yep soon need wellies. Oh and all our snows gone round here. Ah, see we're back on topic! :D Snow's disappearing here slowly too. As we're back on topic, I'd thought I'd show off my fridge next to the tub....

Read this this morning on my phone, it's turning into a right cow farm with all this BS going off.....

Ouch.....

Right, you seem to be a very lazy person and trying to get other people to do your homework every time. Now let's turn this around shall we? You give us concrete evidence that the head is IDENTICAL... Seems like I can take some time off and have a few beers and sit in my tub for a bit before you come back with your pie..... This is the most stupid statement I have heard. Don't you think Toyota would've put a Supra badge on the rear of an IS300 it it WAS a Supra and dub the Supra as a Supra CC? It's an IS300 bell-end Knobbly, not a Supra! End off

Welcome along Jason! Anyone mentioned pictures yet?

Read this back yourself and then again and again..... The head is different. You might get away fitting the head with a different size gasket but it's not a straight fit. You get everything from the internet don't you. Have you taken an engine apart before because it sounds like you haven't got a clue. Rattling some random numbers off doesn't make you a mechanic.. I'm off to do some off-roading in my 5-series because after all it's just a Land Rover Disco as it has the same engine.... Or should I take the Merc that shares the buttons from a SLR.... decision decisions. If you find the time (which clearly you have plenty) read back the whole thread back and see where you go wrong.. I think Matt has pointed some of your contradictions out already...

Free popcorn?

The VVTi internals are different from the non VVTi internals. The VVTi ones are much weaker too. Do you want me to pre-chew that pie for you too? The block is the same (head not) and that's about all that's the same. Please do your own homework.... Chris, don't compare you're 6 year old nephew to Knobbly... It's not fair on the little lad... :winky:

Just a quicken because I'm rather busy The head is NOT the same AND the internals are NOT the same.
