  1. if a bit jerky... how's the Lambda? Also assuming you're on standard injectors???
  2. nice!!! Personally not a fan of the vento front end and yours looks very nice....
  3. yup as above.... It is a pig to get out...... you have to raise enough to clear the engine bay/leg down there... I would suggest a couple of mounts need undoing... it made life easier for the lift and not so much strain on them whilst you're workin on it.. One extra point is give yourself as much acces as possible as they NEVER want to come out and be free.
  4. So... Mr & Mrs Mods... I had a thought... an addition to the wanted section? with the starter for ten on what people can offer nationally in the header/first post???? Give people a number of weeks to respond and then lock it... If it needs updateing then that is controlled by y'all???? Thoughts
  5. quick check .... pop a plug out and hold against the engine whilst cranking... you should see a spark... that'll firm that up and you should be able to smell fuel from the hole the plug came out of.... remember to use insulated pliers otherwise you will do the dance of shame as you get electrocuted...
  6. I have seen this on a couple of other forums... but if we have a lead on something before it hits the market place or we need "a trade" - builders etc Then this is where members can post and offer their services (at members discounts rates) or linky to jobs - especially in todays market place
  7. welocme back and a nice project there...

  12. this was the kit then bought a Sigma 500mm Lens http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-F65-28-100-70-300-Lenses/dp/B00006HAAS
  13. http://pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=24744 I think i might like this concept...
  14. LOL Nikon.... It kinda does... I'll read it again a couple of times... Now the lens thing is interesting.... I expect my old SLR lens not to have motors in them. But the body will/does... and the cheaper (more basic) DSLR to have the motor in the lens and not the body... So if that is/wouldbe the case then this would limt my selection of camera model would it not???
  15. oh and PS... not the bridge one the new ones advertised on tv... look like a compact but with interchangeable lenses????
  16. Cheers.... More detail please..... Just to clarify i have an Nikon F65 SLR (flim) camera already and want to utilise my 100, 300, 500mm lenses which is why i want to stay with Nikon... However I am aware that only certain bodies (new or Old????) have the motor function in the body rather than the lens so need to make sure the body has this function... So I like the idea of saving pennies and thus would be okay to go second hand.... BUT, which ones as the numbering systems dont seem to make sense and understanding which I can use and can't is a mine field... and how old they are etc.. So in th
  17. You are spot on the -Transporter is the way forwards... However, if you're starting up then this time I would do it the other way and find the deal to match your budget... Do not buy Iveco... they will kill you!!!! Do not buy Italian or French!!!! they will break. That leaves the old faithfuls... Vauxhall/Ford/Merc/VW If you can... now is a good time to approach a dealer and do a deal as they are looking for numbers to round the year off with... (if going new/nearly new). Different dealers at different levels so worth the time and effort... look out for their charts on the wall showing who'
  18. difficult to tell really mate... that said.... if you look at the very top photo you posted.... you can see that the element looks like it has broken.... could just be a trick of the light..... So no egg sucking here .... You are looking for the metal bit inside the glass to be completely intact...- one continuous strand. If there is a break in any way, shape or form....then... they're foobared mate..
  19. So I would like a considered opinion please from someone who knows... I am saving hard and was getting to the stage of buying a Digital SLR... (I have an old Nokia F65 and was staying with Nokia as I can then utilise the lenses again... (as long as I buy the right body)... plus I kinda like the old film thing of not knowing what you're gonna get until you open it... ANYWAY....... I have seen these new compact systems with interchangeable lenses... Marketing gimmck or are they any good? My usage is holidays/weddings and events/car racing (got a big lens for that)... so lets have your thought
  20. I had a thought.... Something to treat myself or the missus to buy me.... A complete professional car care service.... wash and polish Any ideas who is Local to me then??? A website would be great... so I could look at prices and services... (for after winter of course )
