Not for a J spec - 225 50 16's all round

BlackCircles is quite good too

And then get an alignment done

any money thats not the original engine....water pipes missing, throttle cables not connected, sensors not connected, bumper is falling off!......why is the engine bay red? someones having a laugh!

I'm with Freedom 2 surf as well - top company. I network mine with wireless router and works lovely. Always very fast and always seems to be working!

I suggests a smaller radiator....mine certainly doesnt look like that on my import TT.

Just out of curiosity - how did you adjust the dial without ruining it by pulling the spindle out of the inside? My speedo is 5mph too slow and I need to adjust it!

I'm in

I intend to call you guys when my renewals due up to see what you can quote me for!

Where can you buy seek and seal?

Phil at C&S Wood in North West - Near Manchester - Excellent mechanic and knows the 300 very well. Do a search.

No pills - just a choccy bar - yummy.

I'm from Preston way - as is Andy Duff I used to work at Champion in Upton - small world

If the thermostat was failed then either the water will take ages to heat up and wont regulate itself properly - or you engine will overheat. The temp sensor for the ECU and the sender for the dash are two seperate items. The one for the dash is the little black one - try giving it a good clean and see how it goes.

what do you need to do?

Which is very expensive.

I'll post up if I notice any positive effects as the week goes on.

John - yes - in front of the existing engine oil cooler. All the fittings i needed are listed - I didnt need anything else. Just been for a good run and its working a treat. When the weather improves I'll get some pictures together and post them up - I got drenched this morning!

I phoned up think automotive 020 8568 1172 I bought :- 10 Row cooler 230mm wide 3.8 bsp Male - 46.45 45.45 3/8 female 90 degree for 3/8 hose x2 - 1.90 each 3.80 Oil hose 100R6 3/8 x3 - 5.37 / metre 16.11 Pair cooler brackets x2 - 2.94 each 5.88 Jubilee clips x4 - 63p each 2.52 These prices are the full price - he gave me a discount of 15% on all the stuff and the delivery was £8.95 - Came 2 days later no problems. I connected mine in front of the existing oil cooler - I think a 10 row is plenty big enough and anything more may well interfere with the air box. I created a bracket by sawing 2 lengths off one of the brackets and taking the 3 bolts off the exisitng cooler and bolting my cut pieces underneath - then I used 2 full brackets and bolted them together to form a width that he cooler would sit on - then I bolted the whole lot together - This does leave the cooler sitting on some raised bolts so I cut a bicycle inner tube to length so it sits on that for some protection. Its all nice and sturdy and worked a treat - it'll also be easy to remove as well. I didnt fancy any drilling and you can control how far forward you want the cooler to sit. I left a nice gap between it and the existing cooler so enough air gets round it. Like I say - allow plenty of time to curse and swear at the pain of routing the new pipes but it is possible - I can sort some pictures out if you need any help! Its a reasonably easy job overall - just allow yourself a weekend just in case you get delayed. The pipes you need to connect to are easy to get to once you have removed the splash guard under the car - I left the exiting stuff there as there was no need to remove them - they just wont be used anymore! If enough people want I can do a write up on how I did it.... Enjoy.

:dance: :hyper: Just finished fitting my auto box cooler - was a pain in the neck to route the pipes but found a gap - quite pleased and i only cost me £86 for the whole lot with vat, delivery and all the fittings.

I bought these yesterday - but the part numbers are for a TT - I dont know if its the same as for an N/A but Nissan will be able to tell you. 92410 - 30P00 92400 - 30P00

Ahh the old bravenet forum - I remember it well! DaveW will probly have something to add when he reads it too as he was there too!

I had this out with the petrol station as well - it says 'no purchase necessary' but he wouldnt give me any unless i bought some Optimax - his loss.

Andy mate - I must have speaks with you - drop me your contact number in an email to 'email2@tiscali.co.uk' Cheers mate.

I'd reply - say the price has gone up to 15k - then when he says he still wants it - tell him its sold!
