  1. I'll have the blue one please. Mine has 3 bulbs out (stock). PM me your details.
  2. If the engines from an auto you will need a full TT6 loom and ECU. Have you checked this?
  3. Apparently re-torquing of the subframe bolts is a service item. I think it has to be done with the wheels on the ground. I have read in posts that they can appear and feel tight but are way off when torqued. I.m sure a more techie member can advise you of the correct settings.
  4. Subframe bolts if nothing else obvious/loose.
  5. 10 amp fuse in the drivers footwell. PITA to get at, and a "headtorch" comes in very handy.
  6. Shits are fantastic animals, had 3 over the years If you've got small kids Cavalier Spaniels are an excellent breed. Had 5 of these! Pugs are cute, but a little annoyingly noisy with their breathing. Had 2 of these:)
  7. If no one buys the set, can you keep me the dash panel with the mirror switch please Adam. Can meet you Chester/Wirral or when you're next in Liverpool.
  8. The car has stood for about 6 weeks due to workload and bad weather. Went to start the car on Monday, everything dead. Charged the battery overnight, refitted it-same thing. Fitted a brand new battery yesterday and all was fine (I think) Driving home half an hour ago, I put my sidelights on. The dash lit up so I assumed all was ok. Whilst in a bit of a traffic jam the guy behind me kept beeping at me and eventually told me my brake lights weren't wotking. Turned my headlights on and they were fine. When I got home I checked all lights with the engine running and found that I had been driving without either stop or tail lights in the dark and fog! My side lights are also out but the front fogs are ok. I do not possess a torch so am unable to check the footwell fuses at the mo, but find it highly unlikely that all those circuits could blow together. Is there a main fuse I should check in the morn when I am able to see? Any pointers gratefully received.

  10. Steve, all of mine need replacing bud, not the LED ones, just the ones that show airflow direction, I'm guessing about 12. Actually, this is probably a loose connection inside, as I find it highly unlikely that they would all go either simultaneously or at random. How many have you got, I would like to pay for them should they be needed. Sorry for thread hijack Josh!
  11. What is the bulb size/part number please as a few of mine have gone like yours
  12. Sounds like your new bulb has blown your dimmer. Add the load (watts) of all the bulbs, then double it. This figure is then the MINIMUM load of your new dimmer. I usually play safe and fit 1000w dimmers, but you can't buy these at diy outlets, (trade electrical outlets only) and they are about £16 here in Lpool.
  13. I assume that as your car is a single it has upgraded brakes, UK spec minimum? You need to ensure that any wheels you are considering will clear your calipers. A lot won't. There is a sticky thread which members have contributed to which lists what wheels will/won't fit UK calipers. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?18157-Wheels-known-to-fit-over-UK-brakes
  14. Thanks for the pics. How much do you want for it? How much with the airbox and filter? PM me if you prefer.
  15. Pics and mileage of intercooler, and price with stock airbox and filter.
  16. The hoses are the same for NA and TT, and they make a great difference to the braking if you use decent pads.
  17. Don't listen to them, Plato is just testing you. Once he knows you are a real fan he will give you all the time in the world. He'll make you work at it though.... next step is to go round his house, don't go knocking on the door just yet, hang around in a tree, ideally get some pictures on him inside his own house (he'll love that kinda st, really shows dedication). Post some prints through the door with a note saying how good he looks and other random complimentary stuff - don't mention his BTCC career though, he doesn't care about that, it's all the other stuff he likes being complimented about so you did well to mention the journalism bit earlier. After a week or so dress up as a milkman then go knock at his door at about 530am - when he answers give him a knowing wink and lift your milkman hat so he can see around the disguise, remind him of your meeting outside the dry cleaners and ask him if he liked the pics - he'll invite you in and you'll have a great day playing twister and spin the bottle A brilliant quote from page 2. Hilarious thread
  18. You would think so, but i had a Freesat dish and box installed last week and some of the channels that the receiver tunes in to are "currently unavailable" I live slap bang in the middle of Liverpool.
  19. This is the chap then.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-TWIN-TURBO-/320623619959?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4aa6a82f77 If you are worried about the price of tyres I would reconsider your goals. What do you drive at the mo?
  20. As its only an "advisory" I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to rectify. Why not wait till you can afford new arms as I beleive the polybushes alter the feel of the suspension, etc. I have heard of members fitting replacement polybushes and de-crying them. Also, wouldn't relish working on any vehicle at the mo.
  21. Have a look in Asda, they've got loads of different ones in there.Different lengths also. You can degrade quality with excessive cabling, but the difference between 1 and 3 metres would be quantum. There has been much debate over the years with regards to the pros and cons of cheap v expensive cabling, and the concensus is that the expensive ones are not much better at their job than a £3 one.
