also a nightmare to position a car on a 2 post lift as you need to push it into position and when you get out the car it applies it for you when you don't want or need it so automatics i 'drive' them on from outside the car then get it on the ramp then turn them off lol another problem is when needi...

we go off topic then it has to be dan who bats it straight back off course again lol

I like biscuits, everybody gives me biscuits

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p106/Rage_1988/DSC_0409_zps0025f864.jpg this is how me and my mate picked her up then 3 miles later and 3 massive backfires and we were left stranded trying to re time a replacement dizzy to get her running again to get the 80 miles home lol should have borrowed h...

well remembered thought the topic was familiar but just thought it was due to other clubs doing it

sounds like a plan will need to sort funds well in advance and definitely get my front bumper sprayed :@

IRT? ice road truckers? my mate watches that and has noted that there has been trucks with summer tyres

Ye I know what you mean. Like putting a length of carpet under the driven wheels except the carpet doesn't end :lol: that how i view them but i have never managed to get stuck in the snow bar once when i was trying to get reversed onto my sloped drive with the block paved road being covered in abou...

been fabricating the rear arch on my mates 1991 skoda rapid. its been a few years since any sort of thin sheet welding but i'm quite impressed with myself just need to sort the floor, other arch, doors and any other holes we find/make i'll try getting some pics up see what you guys think of my amate...

might have to experiment with my broken one first then see if i can get mine cleaned up

would have thought a silicone would do the job. don't know of any particular product for this but i have never had the problem myself

I'm with Humbucker on this try bleeding the system again as you may have a bit of trapped air that has shifted from use and start bleeding the furthest from the master cylinder so nearside (passenger) rear then the offside rear then nearside front then offside front. once you have done that let them...

their showrooms not garages how are you meant to service/repair anything in a place like that. very smart all the same but would prefer the muscle 'garages' to any of the others

prefer reflectors with black panel but how did you get the lights in the first pic to look so crystal?

my hatch sits on mk3 astra -40mm springs with 17's that just tuck into the arch on the back with passengers and a weeks shopping mine's 'dro' in both pics http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p106/Rage_1988/DSC_0311_zps1358d166.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p106/Rage_1988/DSC_0310_zps98b684f6...

wind has died down here but theres a little rain. im all preped for wind anyway got the top chopped out of the scraggy old tree in my garden and the fence braced seen as nextdoor can't be bothered to repair it seen as it's their fence so my cav astra and novavan should be safe

Yup even the best people drop the ball now and again. It's called being human. Also mechanics are often run off their feet with s stream of cars to work on in next to no time. So - pride aside, it is tricky to be perfect. i can definitely agree with you there I work with a guy who doesn't seem to h...

I had mine stop working but the spade was still attached to the sensor but yhe wire wasnt so I had to crimp a new spade back on now works fine. That particular sensor doesnt control the fan it only does the dash gauge. The fan is controlled by the sensor in the bottom corner of the rad

Yeah 1 psi is naff all but now I know my turbo is good I am happy

cheers for all your help i think i had skim read that before i'll have to read it properly found the standard 0.7 bar bit works out to 10.1526 psi so i'm about 1 psi down on boost but at the same time i don't know how well calibrated my boost gauge is looks like i'm going to start being able to play...

thats the bit im having trouble finding out can find all sorts of info about how far people have pushed them just nothing about what they should be standard i only want to know so i can see if i have a healthy boost before i look at doing anything

boost gauge fitted and working just need to route it and fit it in a proper home now. it reads 9 psi boost at max is this about right for a 1.5 td? been trying to find answers but no luck yet

nice one cheers need some sort of rep meter so i can add to yours for you.
still haven't had a single reply from the png guys would have thought they would have known straight away

awesome cheers. in the second pic of that link where the pipe comes off the side of the turbo for the actuator mine comes off the side of the output pipe and my turbo also faces up instead of down like those ones probably due to me not having an intercooler. which leads to my next question for a fut...

am i right in thinking that the actuator works on positive pressure not vacuum then?

by 't'ing into the actuator line would that affect the actuator operation at all?
