cos there cheap & nasty as standard. same as most cars!

>11 psi at idle, engine hot 51-65psi at 3k rpm the stock gauge is pants tho & this should be measured on an aftermarket gauge or test gauge fitted in place of the stock sender

iv got both a lightened flywheel & lightweight pulley on mine - nice upgrades :)

not true, the owner/driver is not ness the registered keeper. i think it even says that on the back of the reg docs, or words to that effect.

doesnt Luke at Zedcentre import SWB's?

1 daughter - shes 15 now. now thats aggro!! :cry:

fooked! :( (not really! :D) i take it the cam timing was out? what had caused it??

iv got a pair of 245/40 R 17's in F1's coming from my supplier no probs :confused: it seems some sizes are hard to come by now but thankfully mine were kept in stock :dance:

try Mike Feeney @ MJP in our traders section ;)

yup, sounds like clutch master cyl :(

not warped, but mine were siezed on the inner pistons on both front calipers

you need a special Nismo injector hammer. HTH :D

cant see how it can be fraud?!!? are you able to give a professional opinion on every item on the car? NO! is it his responsibility to have the car checked prior to purchase? YES! did he purchase the car & was happy at time of sale? YES! i think he's just trying to call your bluff! like i said, call the CAB mate. :)

depends where the connectors are located. BTW, does the fuse blow straight away or when you put your foot on the brake??

looking at the wiring diag: wiring diag the wire runs from the fuse, through a connector to the stop lamp switch. through another connector to the warning light sensor. then onto the 2 rear tail lamps. the centre stop lamp is wired in before the sensor best thing is to work back. check the continuity of the wiring with an ohmeter (should be open circuit to ground). as there is a few connectors, if you can find these it should be possible to isolate the section that has a short

Courtesy Neesan! :)

LOL!! dont put a higher rating fuse in. the rating has been worked out to protect your wiring. besides, if theres a dead short, anything less than a nail will still blow!! :D 1st of all, check to see if any other consumers come off the same fuse, if not then disconnect the rear lamps to see if the fuse still blows. if it does then somewhere along the wiring loom is prob shorted to the vehicle frame. (tailgate wiring is a fave on most cars for the centre brake light) HTH

dunno really, was the engine ok at time of sale? if something goes wrong after you sold it then thats tuff luck im afraid! as harsh as it may seem its down to the buyer. is prob worth getting legal advise, but i really doubt that they could do anything about it. for all you know they could have redlined it all the way home!!

From the AA website: Private If you buy privately, you won't be protected legally if the car doesn't come up to scratch. It's up to you to ask the right questions and have it thoroughly inspected before you buy. Safeguards Essentially it's a case of 'Buyer Beware'. As the onus is on you to make sure the car is sound, it's a good idea to get an independent engineer to give the car a thorough mechanical inspection. Hidden past Then, there are past owners to consider. You could opt for an AA Car Data Check, which will let you know if there's outstanding finance on the car, or even if it has a shady history. Your legal rights are limited and unscrupulous dealers often masquerade as private sellers, so beware. The only legal terms that cover a private sale contract are: the seller must have the right to sell the car the vehicle should not be misrepresented it should match its description: if the ad states that there is a valid MOT, there should be a valid MOT Key point Remember, if there are problems, you can only claim against someone you can find and if they have the means. Therefore: go to their address and if possible get a home phone number – don't meet someone on a street corner check the documents carefully – make sure the seller is the person named on the registration document and other papers. The AA Car Buyer's Contract can offer you some protection if you're buying privately.

yeah, but he says he'll only do a spit & polish! :rofl:

phone the CAB.

remove the cam belt covers set to TDC & check to see if the marks on the cam pulleys line up cam timing marks

always exaggerating chris - that was a fooking bird bath with 2 sparrows & a starling :tongue: :D

Michelins are always expensive, the Sports are meant to be a very good tyre tho
