  1. No Rich, it's self tensioning. You only turn it clockwise to release its tension while you remove the belt. As soon as you stop turning it it pings back.
  2. The value of the car isn't the only factor to be considered when assessing the risk. I think one month's insurance is usually about 20% of a year's premium. So it's about right.
  3. He's freelance, you can hire him directly. He does a lot of work for TurboFit but he's not employed by them or anyone.
  4. Awww shucks You're very welcome mate.
  5. You just need a 14mm socket and a decent length ratchet or breaker bar. It helps if you remove the intercooler pipe to the throttle body to give you a bit more room to move. Put the socket on the nut that holds the tensioner pulley on and turn it clockwise to release the tension, then slip the belt off any pulley you like and carefully manoeuvre it out around the fan.
  6. Yes. Because changing the acc belt is only a 5-10min job there's no need to replace it when doing other stuff.

    Well it's a crap point then. I don't need to know muslims IRL to know recognize when one is looking to for something to be offended about on here, or elsewhere on the net/tv/other media.
  8. That sounds like the problem. You can't usually move the tensioner without a lot of leverage. Unless the belt has stretched a lot. Is the indicator on the tensioner within the limit marks?

    Yes. So what? Did you have a point? You seem to have forgotten to make it. edit, Did you mean loads of muslims? In that case no, I don't know any.

    It must be great knowing what people really meant when that isn't what they said. It's seems like you're looking for a chance to be offended. And that, sir, is a VERY Muslim trait, in my opinion.
  12. Drive it unregistered then. Is £125 for a months insurance that outrageous then? Doesn't seem too bad to me.
  13. Thanks Ken Yeah, did it last night. Works fine. Bit noisy though. Apparently 5400rpm drives are best because they're quieter. I can;t see why you'd need more than a 160Gb HD but you can put 250 or 500gig ones in if you want.
  14. Not sure what you mean Gaz. Explain?

    We've been lucky so far that these Islamic extremist idiots haven't had the brains to organize themselves properly. It seems like they usually mess it up in some way with the preparation or execution. I suppose if you're relying on somebody that's stupid enough to believe the '50 Virgins Are Waiting For You In Heaven' fairytale then you're likely to have a few technical issues. Somebody was saying the other day about those guys that blew themselves up on 7/7, if somebody had gone round to their families and slaughtered the lot of them in retaliation/revenge it might well put off any more of them doing the same. It seemed rather over the top to me but I could almost imagine it happening if things go on like they are.
  18. Didn't you tell me that the guy doing my 2nd interview loves his TLAs? I hope so, otherwise he must've wondered wtf I was going on about!

    Tabasco Sauce

    No, I'm just trying to worry Jazz. ISTR something about chillis being poisonous though, and that's what Tabasco is, innit?
