shhhh ;)

£40???? when was the last time you went to a Merc dealer?? :D

thanks Mac:xxx: i'll do one for everyone but Macca then :tongue:

not ness unless you want big power (IMO) a little overkill for most applications, but it is a nice precaution if you can afford it i suppose.

good, otherwise you'd end up with really bad piston slap!! :D

just been looking at our fixed priced servicing for Mercs, If your lucky enough to own a new S600 that needs a full monty service, your looking at £1,273.71 !!!!! bargain eh?? :D

would you like a write up in the FAQ section for general pre MOT advice?? obviously I cant list everything, but i could list all the MOT sections & any pointers i think are relevant?? what do you think? is it something you think would be useful to you all?

if your a subscribed member then read my write up in the FAQ section ;)

reboring is only ness if your replacing your pistons with oversize ones.

thought of fitting smithy's hybrids??

the ball bearing part is the thrust washer, which allows for faster spool up as there is less reisistance compared to a regular thrust washer

sounds more impressive!! :D

sounds like theyve tried to turbo it without lowering the compression ratio, so can only run at low boost

just the chip???? bugger all!!

caster isnt adjustable either (unless you have adjustable tension rods), & wont cause tyre wear anyway!

BTW, the Holden is pure Aussie!! ;)

LMFAO!!!! :D :D :D

LOL!! nice try :D the wiring is the main problem, it cant take the extra load

id spend 20k on my zed!! what a motor that would be :cool: :dance: or maybe see if you could get a Holden HSV. wicked saloon

PMSL! :rofl: mike - shes had it nearly 2yrs now

cant remember! ask Mike Feeney in the Traders section, or see if AndyZ's got a 2nd hand one in good condition :)

the auto box has just decided enough is enough on mrs c's Micra 1.0 auto. must be all that power :D found a 2nd hander for £85!! lets hope its a goodun. feck, feck, feck! i know what i'll be doing next sat :(

i take it you mean the 1st inner race on the drive flange? 3 options: 1, find someone with a proper bearing remover, this presses in between the surface of the race & the flange, allowing it to be pressed off. 2, put the hub in a decent heavy duty vice, split the 2 with a chisel & hammer off 3, carefully cut a groove with an angle grinder in the race, when it becomes thin, it will split easily when hit with a chisel & fall off. & yes, it should be a press fit back into the bearing

you could also fit a lightwieght flywheel (i have ;) :cool: ) & de-cat

Mark, i had 350 with my tyres still smoking!! :o the RR operator estimated mine at around 400 without wheelspin, maybe a little optimistic, but 380ish is quite realistic i would have thought, couple that to an engine that is a little fresher than mine & 400bhp seems very achievable! :)
