Re: Legal advice - NEW DEVELOPMENTS - Further Update!

Just going to ignore it again Good man. Like I said the more you reply the more he thinks he's got a fish on his hook. I would actually reply to him, if it does get to court a judge could take quite a dim view of your conduct if you ignore the claimants attempts to resolve the matter. I would send ...

Re: Rev 1 Turbo - Death Trap?

IMFO the most important thing is tyres, budget chinky tyres are not good, Falklen 452's are not much more than cheepo ditch finders.
Full wheel alignment is mega important, it makes a bigger difference than just aobut any other mod :thumleft:

Re: Another MOT, another gripe :cry:

Thanks for the info. From what you say I'd put money on this being the cause. Much more likely than 1/4 of the friction surfaces being in poor condition (though new rear discs are on the shopping list regardless). I'll see what I can learn tomorrow, got the whole day free so hopefully I will get an...

Re: Won't start - AA & Garage say Cambelt has jumped (Rev1na) ???

[Mk2] [Turbo] Bit Random Charge Cooler

I was given a funny 12V in car fridge as a gift, its sat gathering dust right now...

So i was wondering would it be worth cutting a big hole in it and putting the swirl pot/ header tank for me CC into the fridge, then sealing it on with some silicone or something.
