That's the one alright.

OK try again for Westies

Dealers run a business, you get all the "yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir" who pays for it Dealers buy cheap and sell expensive, simple really

Have you tried Here

OK I'll stick my neck out again and risk being shot down in flames :D Back in the old days lead was added to petrol as an "anti-knock" and the amount of lead added increased the Octane rating of the fuel. The higher the Octane rating the slower and more controlled is the burn of the fuel, "burn not bang". This allowed higher compression ratios and more advance of the ignition without inducing "pinking" (pre-ingition) and over heating, hence more power. Obvoiusly lead has now gone and petrol companies are using other additives to increase the Octane rating of the fuel. However the compression ratio of the engine is fixed and the ECU is programmed for SUL, so using Optimax will not give more power but it will reduce your bank balance. Having said all that if you have a blower and the ECU has been re-mapped it probably will be better.

Fact is more and more IS's are coming on the secondhand market, this is bound to have an adverse effect on the re-sale value. Take a look on Auto Trader and do search for IS200's, loads come up. Victims of Lexus success

Think Adrian Flux also insure classic cars that would not have Servo Assisted brakes. So hence the qusetion.

Are you sying that you need to produce insurance cert to get MOT? Or are the insurance companies logging insurance details with the DVLA? It would make sense to me to make the road tax part of the MOT fee then you would have a blue sticker saying you have MOT and tax. It would save all the queing in the Post Office and surely work out cheaper to administer.

He who expects nothing will not be disappointed

Not a help really but prob does go off but your just to far away to hear it

Top of the searches mate

How did you test it, you really need to put a plug into it and test on the end of the wires. Really easy to short over the contacts with MM probes and get no reading.

← Didn't look at the Maplins page, 6P4C is indeed the same thing :D

Looks like an RJ11 to me

Compliment

(Rourke's) Drift

A student with a shaggin' Lex? Better than I mangaed mate, shagged out 1275GT and all my money went into alcohol and smoke :o ← 1275GT showing your age Mike :D

Zee :zee:

Excellent very funny

I can left foot brake and "heel and toe" does that count

Top site, ditto all the above.

Manual transmission soaks up less power than auto and usually more gears on the manual version so easier to keep in the power band, so performance is generally better on a manual. So depends on your driving style and where you do most of your driving. If its in town and motorway get an auto. If its open roads with lots of A roads get a manual much more fun.

hope you noticed the word fake at the top of the page :D ← And the more info link :D

Could be 185BHP at the wheels

Spot on. ← But it will probably invalidate your insurance if not declared ← Any change from standard spec you don't declare could invalidate your insurance including tyres. Insuance companies will wriggle out of paying any way they can.
