  1. My car was doing this, noticed mainly on a cold day. I also noticed that it stopped after say 10 minutes driving and nipping into Tesco. Since the 'warmer' weather of the past two weeks it has been fine! Saying that, I have topped the oil up, maybe just maybe that noise is related!!
  2. So, would the main factor on changing to independant 'make' of exhaust, be the slight offering of improved torque? I know it ain't going to be into the lambo territory but then again I don't want constant wheel spin, when I power off!! I quite like the standard growl of my de-cat exhaust! But I would never write off the chance of my car sounding like Aston, when I don't have Aston money!! Talking of money, knowledge of prices of said exhausts would be appreciated (full system) and would it be acceptable to try and get a 2nd hand one?? As a guide what's a decent price for 2nd hand one??
  3. Bit of a query this, does a full Miltek exhaust system improve the overall bhp of my VR6. My pal said it would improve it by maybe 20bhp?? I don't know, do I believe him or not???
  4. Hi, I changed my front discs and pads due to severe bout of rotational squeaking!!! They needed doing anyway. I continued to have a squeaking noise and from advice I received (brake pads contain loads of shite nowadays) I purchased a new set. I put them on yesterday, fine no squeaks then this morning I was out and about after 5 mile the squeak returned. Please help, anyone!! It's driving me insane, aaaghhhhhhhh!!!!!
  5. No, I had the discs done a couple of weeks ago!! I just fancied having a tinker!!
  6. I'm a complete novice when it comes to car maintenance, just bought some green stuff front pads and was wondering if it is a easy job for me to do,I wouldn't mind having a go!!! Please advise!!
  7. Maybe that was a metaphor?? For what I don't know but sounds good!!
  8. Cheers for the advice Monk, I can't see anything happening now, 6 years ago now but then again could be a weirdo pc, could have room full of CCTV footage of me, pictures completely covering the walls. Saying that, I did find a fork stuck in my rear drivers tyre on my navara. Woooooohhhh scary stuff!!
  9. Damn predictive iPhone text!!!! Aaaahhhhhh
  10. Taxi drivers, do they possess a unique license which allows themselves to become pig-ignorant, not acknowledge you by means of a wave at a passing point, don't even adhere to ego has right of way at said passing point, still go through!! Pull out whenever, pull over whenever, all without a slightest touch of the indicator!! Oh the many times u have argued outside supermarkets, they have their own parking zone but still want to block other drivers in!! Arrogant members of are wonderful police force who think it is fine to park in either disabled or mother/toddler zones. When in one occasion I

  15. Vrsick, I remember a pal of mine placing a smoked haddock on the air inlet, for a laugh mind! Even when it was removed, the smell just lingered!!! This was some 18 years back when we were 17! Great days!!!
