Re: I've made a boo boo..
yeah sorry; to test the clutch you need the revs at max torque.
.
.

drive at about 65ish and plant it.
.

the clutch
(if good) should grip!

Re: T-bar turbo vs tin top
you all are making this leak out as if its some waterfall... you get a drop every few seconds when driving (if that); and even less when its parked up!... dont let the leak put you off buying a t-bar.

Re: I've made a boo boo..
Yep you've shortened the life of your clutch.
Put it on a motorway at about 2.5k
- 3k revs in 5th gear- plant the loud pedal to the floor; if revs rise quicker than speed then thats a sign of clutch slipping.
If its okay and pulls true then you'll be fine but you have shortened its life span!

Re: Headlight!!

Re: My steering _____is...bent? advice please guys
i would say it needs tracking
& aligning.
you can knock the tracking out by mounting a pavement sometimes.
Does it shake at motorway speeds?

Re: How to get the correct value of a car after write off.
oooh bad luck there fella.
But yes, you have to prove your car is worth more by showing the real adverts of a car in equivalent condition
(before the accident).
They will then up the offer depending on your proof!

if the starters sticking it can also make that clicking sound. Usually means a replacement. If checking the wiring etc doesnt work try hitting it a few times.

Re: wheel dilemma
there shouldnt be a gap between the wheel and the hub
(PCD muct be correct).
If the bolts are tight then the gap would close IYSWIM.
The thing that makes them a wrong match is the bore sizes for which you need plastic circular things
(Spriggots).![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
