hi all, trying to do the handbrak eadjustment - what does the star wheel look like that I'm meant to turn? any pics? Thanks.

Hi, Putting a new det sensor loom onto my engine, it is the wiring that fails on this due to the excessive heat and vibration in the centre of the engine! I was thinking about protecting it in some heat resistant coating/wrap or replacing the wiring on this for something more flexible/heat resistant! Any ideas!

Anyone know how to adjust the headlamps forwards/backwards? My front passenger side one appears to have moved backwards about a quarter of an inch

Can anyone tell me what the standard gauge for oil pressure on import tt auto should read hot & cold?

While underneath the car yesterday changing the tension rods I did notice a drop of antifreeze at the bottom of the pan near front pulley. Could this be from the water pump? When I had the cambelt changed a couple of months ago Jeff did say that there was a bit of play in the pump bearing, but I did not have it changed (I know I should have) How big a job is changing the water pump? whats involved it it? Thanks John

All, I have a 89TT Jap Import. It's superb throughout but is driving me crazy with the safety beeps. There's a loud one on the Reverse and a very quiet one when I go over 100KM (not that I do that very often of course :D ) Thanks, Ice

Kind of Z related... does anyone know if there's a PSone game with Donington in it? I've got Toca-1 which doesn't. If anyone's got a copy of something I can borrow, I'd be mighty grateful. I need some virtual practice you see.

Going to work in the old girl today, and after a couple of mile I noticed that the little green light for the indicator wasn't coming on when I turned left & right. I stopped the car, put the indicators on, got out, and found that the actual indicators weren't working either. I checked the hazard lights, but they worked fine. I just wondered if anyone had seen this before (perhaps its common??) Might it just be a fuse, or is that unlikely given that the hazards are ok?:confused:

Hi all, Just a quick note to let you know that we have started two group buys on (1) A'PEXi PowerFlow Induction Kits and (2) Chrome Parts for the engine and Speedo Rings. Have a look at the DTA-Motorsport.co.uk section over in the Traders Forum. Regards,

I cant even see the bloody things:confused: :confused: :confused:

Where does this fix too please!! It holds that cable to something, just dont know what it fixes too!

Hi, Andy Duff has a plenum for me but we have a slight problem on how to get it down! If there is anyone going up to the land of warm beer, and travelling to the land of cold shandy (london), can you do me a favour and drag the plenum down for us!

My aerial only goes retracts partially, leaving about 150mil sticking out. This happens about 99% of the time. Does anyone know why or how to sort this out or should I just replace it??? I've cleaned it to no affect. Van

But where to put it? Not a lot of space under a Zed bonnet. http://www.autoenginelube.com/pages/903473/index.htm

Just took my tension rods off.......when they come off the wheel springs forward a bit, so holes do not line up, car is on ramps, how do I get the holes to line up? Thanks John

WHATS THE BEST OIL AS 10/40 OR WHAT:confused:

Anyone no how much oil in 1993 tt import gearbox??

Does anyone know the width size of the vacuum hose that I need when fitting some aftermarket JDM BOV's? I also need to know what size bung to get so I can block up the other pipe. Trust me not to get a proper kit!! Cheapskate that I am ;) Cheers Chris

I don't suppose anyone has a clue what goes wrong with these things? At first I though it would have just had a bulb/bulbs in there but it appears to have what must be a flourescent tube instead as there's a transformer which must drive it :confused: Anyone got any ideas? I tried to get to the tube but I was afraid of breaking the perspex front to the panel. Shaun

A bit of a strange one... I couldn't get my car started the other night after cleaning some connectors and running a diagnostic. After trying all the usual (checking connectors, ECU, etc etc), it still wouldn't start! After looking at a few threads, I saw someone tried turning the screw on the ECU clockwise then straight back. Amazingly, IT WORKED!! Any ideas why? - does an immobiliser prevent the ECU switching back to normal mode? Finally, when it did run again, it's not firing on all cylinders :mad: Could this be a result of the PTU packing up?? I've checked connections on the coil packs etc, and they seem fine, although they are pretty fragile…
