Hello bud, Yes it's XP. I haven't tried windows startup repair, do you think that should be my next step? It doesn't show up in disk management.

Even classic used to be way more than that. I know I haven't insured my Z for a few years now but I used to pay close to a thousand and I was in my late thirties then with a clean license ;)

I wanted to add a larger second SATA drive to my PC so took out the Western Digital WD5000 AAKS-00UU0A0 drive out of the ESATA casing I had. I assumed I could just throw it into my pc as a replacement second SATA drive. I've hit a problem though as it won't format. When I first put it in, it all recognized fine, I could access the drive and move files. So I used the drive copy function in Acronis True Image 2013 to copy all my windows files onto the 500GB drive. When it finished and I booted the drive, even though it recognized it on boot up, it wouldn't boot into it (something about the DMI pool I think it said). I booted back into my original drive and I could see the 500GB drive there on my computer. I tried to format it and it wouldn't complete, saying it can't format it. I then tried booting with an XP installation disk and tried to install XP onto it, but once again, it got right to the end of formatting and said it couldn't format it. Has anyone any idea if I should be able to use a drive from and ESATA casing on an internal SATA cable? Cheers Vijay

Mine's with the guys at Custom Exotics, we found even more problems caused by previous so called experts :(

185 quid in London - how???? lol seriously, something sounds a little wrong there but hope it's right for you ;)

Yep lol I hated seeing your car every day cos it made me miss mine even more!!!! lol

Hello bud, You were working in NW2 a few months ago weren't you? You were parked opposite my house for day after day but I never caught you to say hello (I knew I recognized the car from here but no idea who it was) ;) Vijay

Which side? if it's on the passanger side, could be the air con drain pipe ;)

That's very cheap mate and makes the effort of going to one of these places well worth it ;)

Not sure I would go to any branded store as they will obviously just want to sell you their own ;)

Just done mine a few months back, an oscillating flat saw helps too ;)

I think it depends where you drive mostly. Normal town and a few A roads, an auto NA is brilliant. I found the one I drove to have plenty of power. I think where the TT is hugely different is at high speed acceleration, the TT just goes at 60+

I undone those from underneath with a 1/4" ratchet and 10mm (IIRC but could have been 12mm) socket.

Do you mean the bolts behind the bumper or the ones on the other side (higher up and towards the middle of the car)?

Got Asics myself as that's what the shop recommended for me ;) Did you run on a treadmill while they watched it too?

Yep, 12v tyre pumps just don't have enough in them. You need to do it somewhere where it's not too loud so you can hear any leaks ;)

Pleasure mate, nice to meet you too :)

You can ge to them without removing the subframe :)

Proper fitting running shoes for your style of running really will make a difference mate ;)

Morning Alan, I started running a couple of years back, went from 13 1/2 stone to just over 11 now just from running. My advice - warm up and down religiously and get proper running shoes - they make a world of difference ;) Everything will ache after a while with age though mate! lol Running is the only exercise I've really enjoyed, as you said, clears your mind and you just feel better after it.

got that too mate ;)

I've used Paisley too, cost was £12 and that was a year ago

Spend an hour cleaning all engine bay connectors, it's more than likely unburnt fuel as you said ;)

I was with Orange for years, always found them to be over helpfull when I was renewing my contract and then less so when I had a problem. I finally told them where to stick their contract in January and moved to Giffgaff and happy I did so far.

Would it not be down to the cold weather/car sitting around and oil taking longer to circulate?
