Hi My speedo went wrong recently on my TT. I noticed the Hicas light came on soon after. This is obviously because of the speed sensor (I think). This makes the steering go heavier. The thing is though I prefer the steering heavier. Once I've sorted out the speedo, is there anything I can do to keep the steering heavier ?? David

Below is the national average of what we paid for petrol for our cars. 1995 50.9 2.314 1996 52.9 2.405 1997 57.9 2.632 1998 60.9 2.769 1999 61.9 2.814 2000 76.9 3.496 2001 77.9 3.541 2002 69.9 3.178 2003 77.9 3.541 2004 77.9 3.541 2005 79.9 3.632 2006 88.9 4.041 2007 87.9 3.996 2008 103.9 4.723 Assuming that the government has taken 60-70% tax every year and at todays rate the goverment is receiving 70p in tax you can see very quickly that they are getting more in tax than we where paying in total not too long ago. It does not take einstein to work out that they can w…

A problem I've had for some time as originally my geometry was completely on the cock and the HICAS boss was out of alignment. After rebuilding the suspension, set the dead-ahead position in relation to the tab at the top of the HICAS boss. Then, had all the geometry set. Drives perfectly, except when you accelerate quickly and the wheel then turns off centre. After a while (about 5 - 10 mins of driving), the HICAS light comes back on and the problem goes away. What I can't understand is; why, after setting everything up, does it still do this? The car drives perfectly and the geometry is set up correctly.

WHAT A PAIN IN THE A**E, i took me about 2 hours to fit 1 yesterday and its only stuck on, because of where the alarm led is and the immobiliser back up point is i had to drill a hole through it after sticking it on then file it to the shape of the hole, then to top it off when i tried to open the ashtray it would'nt open cos it was catching on the side so i had to rip it off and i still aint finished, the dashboard is in bits and i started to loose my rag with it so i decided to give up and finish it another day before i kicked the car :rant::headvswal

For a week now I've had a metallictapping sound on the top half of the engine.... I was 99% sure it was the hyd tappets after doing a search on here (quite a lot of threads on tapping noises) I flushed the engine(Forte) changed the oil ..... still a tapping sound at around 2,000 rpm - 3,000 rpm not on tick over... or when giving her full throttle, Put in some Wynes oil treatment tappet stuff. Now this morning I filled her up and went for a bit of a drive......:hyper: and the tapping has seemed to have stopped....... Could it have been the last load of petrol was "shite" and it was a "Pinking" noise:headvswal

mate can you either answer the phone or give me a call back please buddy. Thanks Bird

Hey all my relay box is pretty crusty now, most of the relay clips have snapped off and some of the connectors have snapped off the box. Is it hard to replace? does the associated loom need to be replaced with it as a single item? Cheers Ron

Hey all My Ac fan is not kicking in when I turn the ac on?? I got her back this morning finally from the re-build and had her re-gassed and all work fine except the AC fan wont come on? so the pressure in the system starts to get dangerously high, worked dandy before the re-build. So any guesses or common problems I should look for? I had a look at the 10amp fuse in the fuse and relay box on the right hand side of the engine bay and thats all good. There is no relay in the Sub Fan socket?? is this missing I can't remember if it was there before? Anyhow any ideas much appreciated. Cheers
