Well I was minding my own business staring out over the field at the back of my house when I see a yellow LWB on the back of a truck go past. Who owns it, anyone on here? New member?

So, I've managed to get myself two tailgates that are more worse for wear and wondered how easy it would be to remove the glass. One is uk spec glass and the other is jap spec coloured. As I'm getting a re-spray shortly I was wanting to replace the black trim around the tailgate as its got overspray and became badly marked. Also a reason to change my current tailgate glass is that the person who welded my old spoiler holes up never properly protected the rear glass and the slag from the welding gun burned through the tint.

If anyone has any Japfest tickets for sale as they can't make it please pm me :) Really wanna go :)

I was thinking the other day and wondered how important it is to have the right size battery in your car. Mine is definately too small and I wondered if that affects any of the running of the car. I know when I'm pulling away the lights will sometimes go a bit dimmer and the blowers will slow down a little. What do you think? Is it really important?

Hey Guys, Noz said on conzult that the AAC valve wasn't working so i have now replaced that unit with the air regulator. I start the car up with AAC removed and then set base idle to 650, however once i connect the aac it will shoot right back up too 1500 and no matter what i do on the screw of the aac valve it makes no difference. Not sure if this is related, recently my peak boost was set to a max of 17 and if i increased my settings my car would boost to 17. However i have noticed that i can only boost to about 14.3 and no matter what i do it doesn't go any higher. today after changing the aac valve i have noticed that there is some sort of hissing soun…

Hi Guys, im fitting the TC to the engine part, so do i need to add oil to it before hand? and if so, what type, how much etc.. Thanks Rich

Take 2 good turbo,s that were perfect and none smoking,producing good boost to have 360,s fitted and a bit of tweaking on the housing and blade fronts...fitted them and put the motor in over the w/end and then brought the oil pressure up with the fuel pump fuse out and after good oil pressure let it fire up and idle for 5 mins to be confronted by so much blue smoke i thought ide had a cataract over my 2 eyes. Got under the car and noticed oil weeping from the exhaust housing side on both tubs:angry:...Took the down pipes off and found this...to say ime pissed right now is an understatement,looks like he,s forgot to fit the seals:eek: please Discuss:yes:

Hi guys, Ok, I've been having problems with the auto-box and the speedo on my TT. Intermittent speedo and intermitent flashing power light. So I've just been underneath and done the speed sensor fix, took it round the carpark and it seems to have worked. Then I did the auto diagnotic and its throwing up "open or shorted revolution sensor" can anyone help me with what to do now???? Erm..... I'm actually sitting by the car now, so if anyone can answer straight away that would be hugely appreciated. :begging Thanks

is it poss to rewire both horns from the fuse /relay box please any help appreciated

Having some issues with the speedo on the car, I have the clocks from my 94TT will they fit a 95 N/A and work ok. cheers Paul

Seem to be seeing more turbo gasket failures, seems odd as they often fail in the same way, and not due to loose nuts etc. I have a feeling that its more often with non standard gaskets the failures occur, pain in the butt to get to for a small gasket eh? Jeff TT

Now that I think I may have sorted my idle system out, I thought I would play around with Data Scan again. Thought I would start with looking at how she was running with regards to fuelling. I have attached a video showing the car at operating temperature in the dashboard display showing various values, then I have switched to the fuel map display. As I do not understand it myself, would you guys have a look and, firstly see if everything looks right, and secondly, would someone explain exactly what I am looking at please?

Have a few associates who run general car garages and when I was at one the other day was surprised to see a 2 year old Fiesta having a new front road spring fitted, chatting with the foreman there he said they are getting them on a regular basis now, old and new, from Ford to Mercedes and speed safety reduction measures (speed bumps) are the prime suspect! now given a fair few of these cars are been driven with broken springs and often do get noticed until MOT time is the safety measure savings in potential accidents not been watered down by the increase risk of cars been driven unknowingly with the aforementioned damage...puts me in mind of a zed last month with a bro…

The passenger side window isn't working on the switch or the drivers side switch. Checked with a spare motor and hat doesn't work so ruled that out. What else could it be, any ideas?

Hi Guys. this is a thread on my long and expensive journey which started a few years back. The car belonged to a good friend of mine and after doing so paint work on the car I fell in love with car but just could not swing the kind of money it was going for. Anyway he sold it to another friend of mine who then paid a very well know tuner to forge the motor (Arias pistons, eagle rods ACL bearings etc) at a cost of ZAR40.000. A couple of months later the head gasket blew and he opened the motor and guess what? no forged motor parts inside...all stock. This is where I enter the scene.....my friend at that time was gutted and sold it to me for a price I could afford, I trad…

Just pulled up at some lights, steam started gushing out from under the bonnet, temp gauge all the way to the top. Pulled her over and took a look under the bonnet, lots of greenish coolant everywhere. Clearly something has gone wrong XD Anyway, took a few snaps of the engine bay, can you guys take a look and tell me what you think? (sorry the pics are blurry) The last one makes me think that a belt is missing, I can't find a good picture of that area though. Cheers John
