Top tip for anyone going away at Xmas and leaving the car behind. Before you go open the bonnet and remove the lead from the igniter pack then take it with you. Unless they are going to tow it away its going nowhere

The way it works is like this 225/45/17 225 is the width of the tyre 45 is the height of the tyre expressed as a percentage of the width (45% of 225mm) 17 is the rim size If you go for low profiles and your car isn't lowered it may make the arches seem empty. If you go for 35 profiles then your tyre height will be 79mm ish compared to 112.5mm that it is now. So you will gain about an inch and 1/2 gap between tyre and arches

I take it the actual caliper part of the front brakes is now fouling against the inside of the alloy spokes. f the alloys were on before unless you wore the pads to paper it can't be by that much. A couple of choices really you can either get the caliper machined a couple of mill or you need to buy longer studs. Is the offset right for the car on the wheels?

you could pop up to norfolk but i'm in the midlands lol. Just working out the possibilitys atm wait till i've done the tests to make sure they don't break easily or fall apart for no apparent reason.

doesn't cost me anything because i own a machine to cut them lol. If you go to a local it will cost you between £ 5 & £10 i would think, you would be better off going to an independant rather than a timpsons etc if you want it cheap though

the flip ones are the same its jsut an empty shell with the key attached, a transponder key would have to be ordered from a proper distributor.

well mine works fine so you should have no problems. The key is slightly longer than normal (45mm compared to 40mm ) but that makes no difference

No idea atm as this is just to gauge interest but i can get hold of transponder keys but not the full remotes

If its a red button by the lever its to allow you to move the stick without the engine being on etc, it energises the solenoid to release the lever. Thats if i am thinking of the right button

Thats why i have a couple of guinea pigs to try them out, sort of a QA check. Its a straight swap with the 3 button innards takes about 10 seconds if you are reasonably deft with a screwdriver

does it belong to elton john? or did feddie mercury bequeath it to someone

I have the means and the contacts to be able to cut flip keys for the IS and GS lexus. I am doing a couple of experiments atm to see how successful it is cutting for different models in the range, should it be successful i may be able to offer it as a service. So just as an idea how many members would be interested in flip keys and what would you expect to pay for them (don't worry it'll be not even a 1/4 of dealers price) thats the results basically and hopefully once the others are done for the test we'll be able to see how durable they are too

Vista is indeed the devils work isn't it. Do you want that disc as you'll be running out of time to get it pre xmas otherwise

Its not limescale i'd have just got a new element if that was the case, the control box has bought the farm. Don't think the waters that hard to scale it up in 6 months though.But i can appreciate that angle although i would have argued that one too after the length of time lol

Just get an apftermarket tip to rechrome it properly would be a mission and a half, it would need prep etching copper plating and then chroming to make it stay on. Get a polished stainless one its easier to keep them shiny with metal polish

I used to work with a guy who was the same with his Ford Probe, used to hate you touching the vents. So whats the first thing you do when they get out the car yup point every single vent in a different direction. Mind you i hate wires around the car in view i'm goingto take my dash apart so i can hide the wiring to the defi's and profec thats a bit sad as well

That light is not an engine warning light. It is a brake warning. If your brake fluid is low it could be causing the light to illuminate. Check your fluid level and if it is low try to find out why it is low. Most likely cause is (hopefully) just pads wearing. As dave says its the brake warning light looks like ( ! ) on the console. If its not fluid or pads have a look at your handbrake signal wire as well might be a loose connection

Don't think you need the pre cats anyway would assume the other lambda monitors the precat. I'd just get the precats out hollow them out and refit them again or buy a straight pipe to have welded in. Will be cheaper to just go non precat and your car will breathe a bit better too

Daft on both sides. Are these people really proper letting agents. From the things you have stated it would seem that 1/ They are not very professional 2/ You have agreed (apparently) to a lease on a property where none of the normal salient points have been properly documented. It might be an idea for you to go through your tenancy agreement very carefully to ensure that you have not inadvertently been "sold a pup". The Inventory should have come over the day we moved in but since then i have been chasing it. I have gone over the tenancy agreement very carefully already and i have double checked with the solicitor as well, i'm on very solid ground with this one. I agree completely the agents are unprofessional and inept but thats Northwoods for you.

If the house was unfurnished it may explain why you did not get an inventory to sign. Unless your lease specifically states that a cooker and washing machine are "fixtures/fittings" I think you may have real difficulty in obtaining redress via the courts. Yes but without an inventory that means nothing in the house is covered so i can technically remove anything i want and they have no redress either I think that would be the case as technically there is nothing there for you to remove. Things such as sanitary ware, boilers, fixed heaters etc. would be classed as forming an integral part of the property. What i am also trying to get at is there is no record of the condition of the property without an inventory either, surely they can't be that daft.

TaTa is now owned by an indian firm so maybe the indian goverment should get its hands in its pocket. If the goverment are canny they will let it fold then buy Jag and nationalise it for a while on the cheap rather than bail out foreign nationals

Ah you want a gauge i am with you now

if you want to map live get an emanage ultimate and a laptop mine cost me roughly £450 with the map sensor so for the £100 or so extra pounds you'll get a piggyback ecu too

i like ones with exotic names :D Whats going on with the forums anyway its getting a pain in the backside to read responses. House was unfurnished apart from cooker and washing machine. Still awaiting a response off the agents 3 days on as well.
