who says i should win award for biggest cuunt of the year, and smithy i fully expect you to be first in line voting for me,

my car is finding it hard to accelorate UNDER 2500 rpm, which is strange cause if its a maf prob its usually the other way round once past 2500 it springs into life and runs ok also there is a hissing noise (not continouse but every couple of seconds you get a sharp hiss) its coming from the back of the engine where the battery is any ideas on what that could be

I have today picked up a N/A gearbox to replace my TT box, now the bellhousing has to be swoped over to accomadate the larger tt flywheel. Also the N/A speed sensor has to be swoped over as the signal pulse of a N/A sensor is different to allow for the different ratios of the diff. Today I took the N/A sensor out of the N/A box only to find that the diameter of the pinnion gear is not the same as the TT version, so working on logic I will have to use a TT sensor but with a N/A pinnion gear. But if the diameter of the pinnion gear is different so must the drive gear in the box, is this going to give a faulse reading on the speddo head Food for thought …

Hi All, A lot of you have probably read my previous thread about the encounter I had with a foreign body on the A14. Fortunately not too much damage done: just need a new wheel a tyre for the back on the drivers side. However, after this my ABS light came on as I also mentioned. At the time I thought this was probably related, but it actually turns out that it was just the ABS pump relay that had stuck in the on position (initially we had thought this was the fuel pump)... so the pump just kept going and flattened the battery overnight. Nice. Well I need to take the car to the garage for the damage assessment, so I get out my jump leads, knock on my neig…

Here is the best advice I can give from my experience of Z TT Auto driving in snow. DONT. I had to walk 16 fookin miles home from work in a blizzard after encountering a slight incline. :(

Hi all, I've just recharged the battery in me ZX and taken it for a spank down the road. I hardly use it these days and the Cat warning light came on when booting down a dual carriage way. The car feels like it's holding back so I guess it needs a good drive and a service. Is there any precautions I can take to stop it doing this? I just don't get the time to use it nowadays and am holding it for a sale to a friend. Perhaps new plugs or something? Thanks in advance. Ice

I have a strange noise coming from the front end of the car. It sounds (no laughing please) like someone spraying an aerosol room freshener. It doesn't happen all the time though. Any ideas what might be the cause/sure? Thanks all.

I appologise if this is getting boring. BUT! to save a lengthy search........ How much does it cost (estimation) to fit TC and how difficult is it please?

Please excuse the long thread title. Wanting to fit very high power bulbs for my high level brake light. Now I've got the perspex panel and the 6 (I think it's 6) bulbs behind that. Thing is, they are so faint. Been told they are 13w and high power bulbs could not be fitted. So what I was thinking, is there a way of fitting a small step up transformer inline to the input so I can run high power bulbs? Ta

Yesterday I went out in my red 90 TT (not the grey one I got last week), after 45 minutes, with temp needle just below 1/2 way, the car was still blowing cold air on us, even though i set the temp ar 40 degrees. Any idea why this is? I went home and then went out in the grey 91 tt and it was warm after 10 mins. Any ideas?? Thanks.
