AVG also gave me warnings of a attack on front page, told me it blocked a malware file i think, was fine when ive just came back on the site, this happened yesterday.

Hi Guys, Been helping a guy with a water leak, found the problem to be the gasket on the thermo housing, sourced the part and left him to it, but after a phone call and later a visit, it looks like one of the threads have stripped so i now need to order a helicoil kit for him, however i do not have the bolt to hand (the small one of the three - presume they're the same thread sizes anyway) and was wondering if anybody knows the thread size, I remember it looking like an M5 standard pitch but need some clarification. Thanks Craig

With road handling I'm guessing your going to want to get the diagonal cross weight 50.0 per cent, for good handling in both left and right hand bends, toe and camber would want to be in a good neutral position - tyre wear is a good indication on the road and is the only real way to tell what the best set up is within reason - unless you go into looking at temperatures. Ride height is personal preference, ideally try running lower at the front than the rear, then zero rake, then lower at the rear than the front, you should notice differences in oversteer/understeer and longitudinal acceleratio

Had the exact same problem. I can tell you the problem lies with the immoboliser, however there are a few things that could be up, ranging from as simple as dodgy connections behind the steering wheel, or a faulty coil reader. You can pick a vr6 coil reader up off ebay for about a tenner, but first just trace the wires and make sure everything is sound. If youre not bothered about having an immboliser or you have an aftermarket alarm with immobolisation i would be done with it, send your ecu to one of the dealers on here and for 80 quid or so can rid of the system so you wont have this proble

Any chance of pics of installation when it gets done? Mine are in same state as yours by the sounds of it, and thought it would be expensive.

right guys, as title suggests im in the middle of fitting some poly bushes in my wishbones, i have just come to take the bolt out of the front right of the wishbone but the sump is in the way... is there any way around this? is it a case of lifting the engine? cheers, craig

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here but basically if you look at the back of the engine bay on the firewall, you will see quite easily two pipes going into the cabin, if you take these off at the firewall and get some pipe to sit over these and then two jubilee clips to make them water tight. Cable tie the pipes up in order to stop them flapping about. Will cost you no more than a fiver.

Yeh after all the problems, my last ditch effort before buying parts was to remove the column surround to access the wiring and i had a look around to make sure there was no dodgy connections. As I took the surround off i got a better look at the chip reader (brown circular thing at the end of barrell) and thought if it was on its way out it might just be recieving a weak signal from the key so thought if i moved it closer to the key it might help - and it did, i drove around for a while without the surround so that if it dropped back down and wouldnt start i could move it back up. This happen

Try just shuffling the coil reader further up the barrell towards the key, worked for me, not had problem for well over a month and it did become a pain in the arse!

Using normal unleaded will be fine, although you will lose perfomance and economy (noticeable but small losses) and also lose the avdanced cleaning agents found in premier fuels which do benefit your engine. Obviously though if push comes to shove then I don't think normal unleaded will cause any problems. Interesting read on performance gains if anybody is interested: http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/tuning/Fuel_Test_Results_Update.shtml

That's really impressive, looking forward to the finished article though, great read

Could well be a problem with the bearings or hubs, have you been able to check that they have been pressed in straight? If you do the work yourself, i'd first just get it up on the stands and do a full spanner check on the front to elimate anything loose, and go from there.

Don't go out and just buy a ps3 for this... Splash out even more on a 3d tv, you won't regret it!
