  1. should of said to him, "if its that fooking good why hasnt it got a decent gearbox in it, dont matter how quick it is if it dont fooking go!"
  2. The zed (TT anyway) will corner as if its on rails as good as anything else at speeds below 70 due to the Hicas system speeds over that the Hicas dosnt work, the rear wheels turning that couple of degrees makes a big difference
  3. I know that, now i see what you was getting at. When i was at collage doing my apprentiship i remember them saying in theory you could run a diesel on water as water is made of oxygen and hydregon which is the most explosive gas, doubt anyone has tried it wouldnt last long if it did run
  4. Happy birthday Dave have a good one :duffer:
  5. Happy birthday pete have a good one :duffer:
  6. use her car then :rofl:
  7. or do you mean the diesel engine works by injecting fuel into the air that is already heated up in the combustion chamber, as opposed to the petrol engine which uses the Otto cycle which mixes fuel and air together before it enters the combustion chamber
  8. they are internal combustion engines. And only called that after the man who invented this type of engine
  9. :rofl: no car no empty wallet
  10. not spelt like that there aint, no :rofl:
  11. Best idea might be for each region to hold their own then send money to a central point
  12. eileen you have to register first
  13. looks like a Taxi or private car they went into. They guy in the red jacket must of gone 15ft in the air spinning like a cartwheel
  14. new lock new key...no problem :rofl:
  15. Only uses the glow plug to heat the combustion chamber up when the engine is cold, after that they are not needed as the high compression heats the cylinder up and the fuel mixture is sprayed in at such a high pressure its like a fine mist which ignites from the heat produced by compression. Larger Diesel engines like Trucks etc dont need glow plugs to start a cold engine as the cylinder capacity is that much larger it produces enough heat to combust with out the glow plugs
  16. No i've never had any trouble when i've been round hers, sometimes had to park it in the next road too. She lives 2min drive from where i saw your car, we was going round her mums when i drove past. She lives in Waldeck road off the road with the launderete on the corner. I've never known a town with so many speed bumps as Dartford though just as well we got stock bumpers lol
  17. yep lol as i was the apprentice or the little shit as i was known i was the one who had to climb up on top of the diesel tank when the tanker came in to fill it up and tell him when to stop. The hole i had to look through with my lead light was about 2 inches in diameter. On this occasion i was up on the tank waiting to hear the noise of the air coming out so knew when to tell him to stop pumping, i heard the noise "ok stop" the noise got louder, still pumping "OK stop" the noise got even louder "STOP" WOOSH to late the fooking lot sprayed out the hole like a fountain all over me fooking soaked bulb on the lead light smoking so threw that, got down and they are all on the floor pissing themselves, coont had gone a piss. Got covered in spots from it after that :rofl: :rofl: Isnt Kerosene just a Diesel and Parafine mixture?
  18. Thats something from my miss spent apprentiship on coaches then lol apart from i used to come home smelling like a diesel pump :smash:
  19. Diesel fuel is a better lubricant than petrol so is less harmful to the oil film on piston rings and cylinder bores. Plus having no electrical ignition system greatly improves the reliability due to less-violent changes in pressure than in a spark-ignition engine. Also diesel engines are built more robust to be able to withstand the higher compression ratio they need as its the heat from compression that ignites the fuel and Diesels are usually a lot slower reving. Smoking in older Diesels is usually due to a air to fuel ratio imbalance, either the fuel system is delivering too much fuel into the engine or there is not enough clean air which could be from carbon build up in the intake, faulty injectors or injector pump. Simple as that :)
  20. A person weighing weighing 10 stone (63.5kg) on Earth would weigh 16 stone (102kg) on the distant planet. Blair already putting a heavier weight tax on :rofl:
  21. and better go by night as you gotta go past the sun :rofl:
  22. could contain water and life? http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1262484,00.html
  23. they are 5x114.3 so they will fit depending on the offset
  24. Yep thats the car, You been spotted then lol first time i spotted a members car most i spot are non members, Didnt get a chance to have a proper look at the front as i was driving past and couldnt look back properly, your car looked impressive from the rear as i came up to it. Are you in Dartford as i'm over there at the birds most weekends if im not working never seen your car before. She lives in Waldeck Rd you can normally see my car there.
