Order them from Smithy, that way you can be certain you'll get the right kit.

Someone who knew what they were looking for could tell whether the car had once been an auto, but many people would never know.

I think I've seen that car around before, once where I work and also at SE a few years back.

Nice - have always liked that colour.

You must have got confused with one of ChrisC's Dogging meets ....

Yeah, her and Mrs T wiped the floor with us that night - bloody hustlers !

The one you had is the best I know of for an NA, all the other gains will come from the expensive stuff like increasing the compression ratio, cams, headers etc. Start saving ! ;)

Don't we have someone called whiltelightning on here ?

Yep. t'was me !

If you can smell coolant in the car (a bit like curry) when the heater is on, then you almost certainly have a heater matrix leak.

The 4 speed automatic transmission is a lockup type. When in drive mode, gears change 1-2-3 then 3 lockup, giving the effect of 4 gears. When overdrive (4th) is switched in, the change goes 1-2-3-4 then 4 lockup, giving the effect of 5 forward gears. There is a communications link between the automatic transmission control computer and the engine management computer, and this amongst other things, allows the engine computer to retard ignition, thus momentarily reducing engine power, during auto gear changes. Auto gear changes therefore are very smooth. The automatic transmission fitted to the turbo model is stronger than the one installed in the non turbo. Although the gear ratios are almost identical, there are many minor differences between the two transmissions. The Japanese automatic transmission has many more features than the export models. A "power", "normal" and "hold" switch is fitted to modify transmission shift points. The effect of the "power" setting is to delay upshifting, but does not alter the maximum RPM that change occurs. In order to change at the red line or rev limiter speed, one must operate the shifter manually. The hold setting allows holding prevents downshift into second when the shifter is set to "D", and prevents downshift into first when the shifter is in "2". Another curious feature with the Japanese version is that lock up is also available in second gear.

One of the Dell ones perhaps. You can buy online and they seem pretty good.

He was on here yesterday.

This the one ? http://www.angelfire.com/geek/vg30dett/Cluster/Fix_Cluster.htm

It'll be linked from my webshite, was posted originally by Henri le Hir

If you have a spare it has to be legal, if you don't it doesn't matter (obviously!).

OK, that's a relief, becuase I vaguely remembered him asking on the forum about one of mine at one stage.

Was this me ? I don't remember it. Please let me know if it was and I'll help you out.

That was lucky, I thought you got a different message about unbootable disk when you did that ...

Sounds like the disk may have died or become corrupt or disconnected. Or just possibly she has left a floppy/cd in it - unlikely though ...

Sounds possible that a fan has broken. Power it up with the lid off and see whether they all spin up.

Try using AVG (http://www.grisoft.com) or Kerio (http://www.kerio.com) both have free versions.

... most security holes & most frequent patching reigime too ... ;)

An Intranet is just an internal network that uses Internet type protocols/applications/services etc. eg http/webservers

No, I must be too young for that ! I see it had Liza Goddard in it though .... Mmmmmm ....
