As above really, I have two stickers on my door jamb, kilometers are easy but I would like to know what they are for, ie service due, etc. I can take a close up pic and email if anyone can do the translation? Thanks.

OK, good, thanks. Wheres the best place to get a new one?

Hi, which is it that usualy gives the trouble, the sender or the gauge. Or both? Mine is very lazy. Cheers.

There is no good reason for any difference in insurance apart from they can charge extra, so they do.

I suggest you dont limit yourself to a UK car only, imports tend to be rust free, not something that can always be said of a UK car. Its simple really, buy the BEST car you can find. And remember there are some real dogs out there, which pulls down the rest. :-(

Thanks S-Tune but they are not quite right, Elmo and Dutchy, looks like they might do what I need, thanks. Anyone know what thread I need? Thanks

Hi, I have some Stern ST2 alloys. I need a set of nuts, but the type needed are the sort that actually go inside the hole in the wheel a bit. Like a sleeve/spigot. They are not just tapered. I have tried a few places but seem to get nowhere. Any ideas? I also need 4 long studs if anyone has any. Cheers.

OK good, I will wait to hear and thanks for first dibs...

OK, thanks for that, how much for your Blitz DSBC-R? Why you upgrading? And when do you think it will be for sale, although I am in no rush...

Hi, looking for an Electronic Boost controller, but does it have to be dual solenoid (for example) And is a cheaper "proper make" unit OK, or does it need to be a clever unit to cope with the two turbos. Thanks.

More of the same from this labour, read communist, government. Different day, different new tax.

With wheels, if the car shakes its the rears, if the steering wheel shakes, its the fronts.

Someone who knows what wheels out of balance feels like could tell you.

Mine are on the push part. If you push too hard when stting the speed the horn sounds

Have you thought of having the wheels balanced just in case? Cheaper, and easier than the prop. Rear wheels out of balance will shake the car.

A big difference can be had from new fluid, as others have said. And no matter what you do later you will need new fluid, so do it first.

This question has been asked, and argued over, a thousand times. Its not likley you will get many sensible answers. Do a search. And then make your own mind up. As for me and what I use? I have no idea. (safe) But, make sure its a good make, at least Semi Synth.

One of the Jap car mags did a test on cheap FMIC compared to standard and a good FMIC. The cheap FM was not as good as the standard cooler. On a Scooby, but the point is valid.

From another forum.... mate down the road who's building a scooby powered VW van has had a load of bits nicked keep an ear out please QUOTE got a call this morning, someones broken into my van, and the following have been stolen. If you get offered similar, let me know, cos as with all my kit, it's marked up, so I'd be able to ID it instantly. 1x Megasquirt II ECU, built into custom Ali box, purple heatsink with cable, trigger wheel on subaru pulley and crank sensor. 1x Ford EDIS coilpack 1x VF37 turbo from JDM Impreza 1x complete set of Subaru engine gaskets 1x complete set of ARP bolts for Impreza EJ20 engine 4x 16" Porsche Boxter S Twin spar alloys with 205/40/16 Toyo's, anthracite powdercoat with center caps and bolts. 1x Gene Berg shifter for beetle, RHD non lockable type, boxed. there's some other bits gone too, but they're the obvious ones cos they were all together and the ones I want back the most a pair of DRLA 40 dellorto carbs Oh and a wide band 02 sensor, still all boxed up Bang goes next years race car idea...

Done a full AVG virus scan, took well over an hour, result. All clear. Also, did three scans for other bad stuff, all clear. Any more ideas?

Thanks Guys, I do have AVG and Addaware, Spybot and one other. Will run a deep scan now. heres hoping. Thanks.

Hi, I have an AMD 3000+ 1 gig ram, Radeon 9800 pro, etc etc. All fine until a few weeks ago. Now, when using MS Word ONLY, PC switches off. You have to switch it off at the back for a few seconds and then its OK.. Heavy game play is fine, internet fine. It only does it with word, re enstaled Word, and its the same. Any ideas?

Tecknique can make a big difference, if you build the power up against the brakes, ie left foot hard on brakes and give it some gas, not too much or it will light the rear tyres, and then go it will be far faster. Also, on mine full throttle is not quite as good as two thirds for the first 20 feet or so. A fast road upgrade will help the box change gear better too. Def do the cooler.

Yes, or possibly if there is a warning lamp that comes on at the same time. But the best way is for them to be wired to the main beam. A good pair can make a massive difference, and its not just outright power, lens and reflector design are important too. I have found that cheap big power bulbs can be not as bright as a good quality, legal power bulbs. Fog lights also have to be no more than a certain height above the ground. All legal tosh of course as proven by the amount of drivers who use them all the time.
