  1. Will degrease the engine best I can tonight and keep an eye on her
  2. That's my thinking too, or least have a noticeable leak She's pulling like a train
  3. Easily could be wear n tear Need to check but it is around 170,000 km I replaced main perishable items (seals) , would you really need to refresh piston rings , I would expect signs of smoke Might be the baffles in the after market valve covers too
  4. Hi Below was all done in 2015 , Cam seals in 2011; No smoke on start up , all looks good ; had a couple of spirited drives since she was back on the road start of the month (March 2017) Was fitting some stereo equipment today , brought her up to temp messing with the stereo , turned off , had some lunch (40 mins), went back dow, to head out for a drive ; Low level Oil light , dipped her , nothing on the dip stick , no signs of an oil leak , Parking spot has no fresh oil stains must be about 700 miles since last oil change (10W60 fuchs), any idea's what would cause the oil consumption?

  5. Yep that's the ones , you cannot get them in Ireland unfortunately
  6. What would you guys have done as a young second class citizen in 1960s Derry? Certain professions are not open to you due to your religion and partition has economically crippled the city, cutting it off from it's natural hinterland despite being only 3 miles from the border. Entering politics is not really possible either, you can't vote cos you don't have a house and you can't get a house because you're a Taig. Even if you could vote the electoral boundaries in your predominantly nationalist city are rigged in such a way that a unionist minority holds control. You can't express your chosen identity as an Irish person. You cannot display the flag of your nation - it is against the law. You see what is happening with the African-Americans in the USA and seek civil rights, but on the first attempt in 1969 you are beaten off the road at Burntollet by a mob of unionists including members of the B-Specials, an irregular force comprised of only one side of the community. And as your civil rights movement gathers force, 14 of your unarmed friends and neighbors are shot dead in the street by an elite British Army regiment. People are talking about Martin McGuinness as if he woke up one morning and decided, on a whim to launch a terrorist campaign and then equally woke up another morning and decided to sit down with Ian Paisley. The reality is both processes evolved fluidly and he was not always in the driving seat of either. But it should be remembered above all that he was born into an apartheid system and through his actions, violent and peaceful, questionable or not, as a young and as an older man ended up concluding his life on an equal footing with the same civil and human rights as everyone else on the island.
  7. Only reservation I have about these units is if my car is stolen and hidden in an underground car park , container ; rendering the unit useless I presume you can use the unit to monitor your car if it was in for a service ? How easy is it for me to hack your account , for example if I acquired your gmail & password I am in ?
  8. I wonder did they get their bicycles back ....too soon? - - - Updated - - - I wonder did they get their bicycles back ....too soon?
  9. You are saying England intervention by taking our lands was merely to bring civility and unification to our little isle, to save us from ourselfs , I can see where you are coming from , considering England at the time was peaceful and a prosperous land , not like they had civil war .....wait a minute
  10. Your ignorance of history is astonishing The goal of the unionist and overwhelmingly Protestant majority was to remain part of the United Kingdom. The goal of the nationalist and republican, almost exclusively Catholic, minority was to become part of the Republic of Ireland. This was a territorial conflict, not a religious one. British oppression -- Look up Plantations of Ireland Plantations in 16th- and 17th-century Ireland involved the confiscation of land by the English crown and the colonisation of this land with settlers from the island of Great Britain. Independence -- Look up Michael Collins In particular Anglo-Irish Treaty,(1921) , Tyson was referring to this when he said Britain should have given the country it's independence Ross Kemp did a fantastic Documentary on Northern Ireland present day in his Extreme world series
  11. No love lost for the death of Martin McGuinness, he is no loss to society but he was pinnacle figure in the good Friday agreement ; based on some opinion's here , history books would suggest the UK involvement in the NI was all roses, some despicable atrocities on both sides of the fence during this vile period I find it a cop-out the aggressor occupying another country deems somebody who is fighting for their sovereign land a Terrorist, a word thrown around by politicians to justify their hidden agenda, and to inject fear in their constituency for public favor of their actions , fuel media propaganda
  12. http://www.evo.co.uk/news/19047/pirelli-connesso-system-new-intelligent-high-performance-p-zero-tyres How cool is this They have a chip that measures tire pressure, tire temperature, vertical load, tire wear, and the number of kilometers driven per tire. Pirelli says a future version will also estimate remaining tire life and act as a remote tire pressure gauge when the tires are being inflated. The current version also alerts the driver through the smartphone app when the pressure of one or more of the tires drops too low or when the wear limit is approaching.
  13. block connector was not full pressed in , doh Few bulbs are gone though and need some new block connectors , plastic clip has lost its tension , bitch to get out Will just get heckler to do led conversion on the unit and centre cluster over the winter Thanks for the help!
  14. Yeah Think it's just solder is old I wonder does Heckler still do them
  15. Lights on the Heater control are flickering , the unit it self is flicking between Recirculation and Non-recirculation (symbol above) Inside the cabin it is extremely hot all the time as if it is set to max temp, intermittently dimmer lights are coming on/off Fan and LEDS on the switch work as expected Will verify the internal Thermostat is hooked up , but any idea's , did not come across anything on here Common they need re-soldering ?
  16. I used POR on the brake Calipers , still as good 2 years on
  17. I have the 3M Body Schutz, and used some ACF50 on the suspension arms when I swapped mine out ACF50 , will be an annual thing ; from the aerospace industry mainly used in the biking community
  18. They are better than the standard halogen I had in the MK5 Golf but not as good as the Philips Racing vision (but these have a shorter lifespan due to the intensity)
