gone through red light! - have to have fine?
Meh, not very clearly... so your basically saying they can send a letter outside of the 14 days saying were still going to prosecute, whats the point in the 14 day rule then?
-
Just decated, will be putting cats back on now
both exhausts? Or just one (or do you only have a single exit?)
-
gone through red light! - have to have fine?
Yes but points = alot more money on your insurance! So id be more worried about hte points!

gone through red light! - have to have fine?
i thought they had to notify you within 14 days, after then it could be totally disregarded. Or is that just for speeding offences? I think the idea is, is that it becomes hard to remember over 14 days who had a particular vehicle at a time....

Max boost
stock boost is 9.8psi isnt it? I thought so anyway??
-
gone through red light! - have to have fine?
did you actually get flashed or just go through a red light??

Looks like i'm staying
by the sounds of it, it wont last so you can keep plan j Or K or whatever it is alive and well for a short time! good luck with sorting out your finances mate! (I know its perhaps not the easiest or best option, but why not look for a different job which pays you more money?)

TVR Cerbera
Thats what attracts me to it... cheap performance LOL. Although i'll have to seriously consider my finances, its not going to be until after xmas at the very earliest if i do jump ship. Ive thought about the griff mate but im not sure i could cope with a cloth roof, would do my head in i think! Steve you seem to be very knowledgable on the cerb! You should buy one and give it to me! :D

White Z London
I saw a white zed today, looked pretty much standard with a private plate on A4 somthing (maybe...) With a woman driving. Anyone we know? Just near lewisham on the A2 ( I think it was, somwhere around there anyway) Near new cross road??

Boost Leak Or Dodgy MAF/AFM???
A big boost leak wouldnt affect the actual MAF reading as its before the turbos. However a dead maf would cause it to only run up to 2400rpm ish. I would say the maf is toast and you need a new one, now from memory if no maf is connected it should actually run better than with one that doesnt work at all. I have experienced this on a 320d, was quite scarily slow, unplugged the maf and it was a different animal, gave it a new maf and it was better again. But no maf seems to go into a preset mode which allows at least some power where as dead maf seems to cripple them!

wimp mode
what were the intercoolers you put on from the old car? They are not blocked are they? Are they considerably larger?

TVR Cerbera
Right well thats the information i was looking for...DAM im going to have to look at a v8! Its only an idea at the moment! Im supposed to be saving for a house LOL I've had more than one person say that the speed 6 isnt so brilliant so that ties up. I think this is the point where i start building, selling and repairing PC's again for some extra income towards the "i'm go to die going backwards towards a tree in a fireball" fund :D. The 4.5's seem to be a bit more desirable for obvious reasons, with the 4.2 is there anything major to go wrong (if anything from reading up they are less stressed than the 4.5 so surly should be more reliable, although not as fast?)
-
TVR Cerbera
nice thats what i like to hear, has anyone got any experience of the straight 6 motor, (I was really wanting a 4.0 straight 6 cerb) I somehow think the 4.5 would be a bit much for me to cope with LOL. Speed 6 seems better on insurance as well!
-
Wow, nearly nailed him!!!!!
thing is, his total disregard and lack of skill and brains could have damaged your zed, thats what im most worried about when they come near me. If they damage my paintwork then we've got a real problem! If he falls of and i have to swerve to avoid him i'll send em the bill for the tyre wear!
-
TVR Cerbera
I just think the cerbera is perfect, yet ive mentioned it to my mates and they have all turned their nose up! Saying its an old mans car, what do they know with their poobarus and evo's!
-
TVR Cerbera
Sounds good mate, yours is the rover V8 though yeh? An awesome sound, there used to be one that went passed the bus stop when i was waiting for the bus when i went to school, it sounded amazing. Always had a bit of a thing for TVR's insurance is reasonable as well! I'm just a bit unsure of which engine to plumb for, i'll be honest im not that bothered which one i buy as long as its one of the 90's+ cars which are nice looking, but i do love the interior of the cerbera. Tuscan i think is a bit out of my price bracket. What did you part with for yours if you dont mind me asking?
-
TVR Cerbera
aye ive seen some horrific bills, thing is i dont really use my car as ive got a company van so its not like im putting loads of miles on it or anything. Yeah Nick i was going to ask you about your experience with yours. Im unsure as wether to go for a Cerb (obv with a tvr engine) or look at the rover engined ones... hmm! I dunno, i'll probably never get one but ive got a real hankering for one. Its the interior more than anything, i just think its a fabulous work of art! I looked at the TVR OC, although they want £50 of me before i even ask a couple of questions!
-
TVR Cerbera
Ive got a silly notion in my head about perhaps looking to get a TVR Cerbera sometime in the future. Has anyone had one or had any experience of them, depending on who you speak to they are either the best thing ever or unreliable and need an engine rebuild ever 200 miles! Anyone got any advice?

Laguna power steering
when my slaggy's power steering died it was the high pressure pipe that had failed and was leaking gallons of fluid out, got through a bottle a week. Sounds like a blockage to me mate!
-
Look what i seen :)
Aye its the 94 onwards spoiler (94 till 99). Its not THAT common (no one fits it i dont think and there arnt many 94+ cars, but i rather like it) Murt- Nah i dunno who owns it, dont know anyone down that neck of the woods its a bit far from me :D LOL. Although i am currently sat in a carpark in tunbridge wells booking a hotel in londres for tonight... Fun Fun!
-
Look what i seen :)
that looks like the R reg one with 78k on it that was for sale a bit ago, was up for about 7k i think. I do like that Series 4 table spoiler :D
-
Coolant in passenger footwell....?
I'll second that, do some searches on it. I believe people have just about managed to do it without taking the dashboard out. But either way i believe its quite a time consuming job.

happy b/day edk83
Happy birthday mate, how many is it this time? Big 30 yet ;)
-
is it too early
Ah I think you two will come through all this together in the long run. I get that feeling anyway. Not be long before your waiting for her up the aisle! Pull your finger out and get it done ;) Dont go looking for anyone else, as already said a one night stand is a one night stand, basically amounts to very little, if youve still got even a hint of feelings for her and your still willing to give it a go then ride it out and stay positive. It'll all come good in the end :) Good luck mate Chris

Will i damage my engine if....
it'll be mint! Get it done... I'd floor it down your street, see how many windows you can smash!
