was the liquid black or just the plugs were black. if the liquid was oil then that aint good, i would put money on piston rings, but im sure that is the worst case scenario.

send them another letter, stating that you expect a reply in 40 days, and if they dont reply that you will take them to court, worked for me

just been doing a search on this, and it seems that jezza hamster and cpt slow or hacked off with the producers because there pushing for more celebs on the show and not concentrating on the cars, hence the increase in "top gear" adventures in the last series

nope thats the fireblade

found this on telegraph.co.uk "The BBC dismissed claims yesterday that the future of its popular motoring programme Top Gear was in doubt. The corporation was forced to issue a statement after the presenter Jeremy Clarkson said the programme, which regularly draws an audience of more than seven million, would not be returning this summer. In his weekly newspaper column, the 47-year-old broadcaster said that contrary to what the continuity announcer said at the end of the last series, the show would not be back this summer. "Can I just say, here and now, it won't be," he added. However, the BBC said that a special edition of the show would be broadcast this summer and there would be a new series in the autumn. It refused to discuss Clarkson's future, although it said that it hoped all three presenters would remain. A BBC spokesman said: "We're expecting all three boys to present the programmes.""

craig you obviously know the sums, im crap at maths. if i manage to get 160 miles out of 17 litres of fuel, whats the mpg?

i dont know what the mpg is, but i managed to get 350 miles out of a full tank of petrol, all of which were motorway miles, sticking between 70 and 80 mph

castrol RS 10-60 is what i used to use, never had any probs with it and it lasted well

yeah its still going. Ryans got alot on his plate so craig is the main contact at z tech at the moment

these ones, and powder coat the spokes black

just want to clarify something if possible, when you do an auto to manual conversion, you can still keep the cruise control?? if so how does this work, as i though the cruise control was apart of the auto ecu, and i thought you changed this to a manual ecu? or am i completely wrong? cheers nick

red axe........... curious

man i really really want to have a go on this! :shock: nick

gooooooooooooooooooooood film

like i said, i didnt want to come across as criticising your driving, and i wasnt there so i dont know the road layout conditions etc, so i was trying to give an point of view that the investigating officer MAY take. At the end of the day everyones alive, there are bits of driving that sound like could have been improved on, but every one, and i mean EVERYONE makes mistakes in which they could have done something differently, but surely thats whats called being human. As long as we learn from our experiences and adapt what we do for future references, then all is good. I dont think we should be criticise marc, we've all made errors of judgement in the past, and i have no problem saying ive made some HUUUUGE errors in my life, but like i said be live and learn. Just because he puts a thread up telling us about an experience he's had doesnt mean we should slate him Anyway, ive said it once, and ill say it again, glad your ok mate. Nick

who did the work on the waterpump?

contact your council and they will have a list to which areas have IAM schools

then it will have a grass verge at the very least, with enough room to get a vehicle out of the carrigeway enough so it doesnt cause an obstruction

Marc, i have to agree with you on the majority of somepoints you made and disagree with some. Firstly as most of you know im a serving police officer, and dealing with major accidents is something i do on a daily basis, so im probably talking from the most experienced point of view. With regards to the driver of the fiesta, your right there is no reason why she couldnt have made it to the hard shoulder. On a national speed limit road, she would have been able to coast to the hard shoulder. The only possible "reasonable" explanation for being in lane 2 is that she herself had been involved in a collision herself resulting in her car being disabled in lane 2. As this hasnt been previously mentioned im going to guess there is no evidence to support this explanation. If she had simpley broken down there is NO reason why she could not have coasted to the hard shoulder,and the likelyhood the investigating officer will take this point of view as well i would suggest is very strong. I would probably suggest the fact she was parked in lane 2, regardless of hazard lights being on, is the major contributor to the cause of the collision. With regard to the Saab driver, i think better observation was required, even coming round a slight corner on a brow of a hill, i cant see any reason why at a substantial distance he wasnt able to establish that there was a car broken down in his lane, or at least suspect that there was a car in the carridgeway. I think the above point carrys over to marc. Personally if i saw a car with hazards on in the distance and im not 100% sure its on the hard shoulder, i would adjust my speed accordingly. BUT im and trained advanced police driver, so i probably drive alot differently to alot of you. The part i disagree with the most is the "there was nothing i could do". Now think logically about this, there was plenty that you could do. The basis of roadcraft is that you drive on the information you recieve and act accordingly. Dont get me wrong mate im not trying to put you down or criticise your driving or anything like that, im just trying to bring another angle to the conversation and give an insight to what the police will be thinking. im glad your ok and so is everyone, and at the end of the day i wasnt there and neither was anyone else on here, so im only commenting on the info i have, but only you and everyone else who was involved know what happened. Anyway all the best mate and if their is anything you want to ask me feel free nick
