  1. I have searched on this topic either im not putting in the correct information or im just thick but the problem I have is this:My auxilary belt tensioner (gas strut?) seems to be pushing the tensioner pulley right towards the power steering pulley and the belt seems pretty slack,I would take it that the belt is knackered and requires replacing but what else is needed,Do I need to buy a new tensioner or anything else to remedy my problem Thanks in advance Tim
  2. Have a quick check on the pipe work by the bulk head,I keep blowing pipes there!
  3. Spotted on the A4 in Box near Bath,Did give a wave but got little responce!
  4. If I knew then what I know now I would have gone straight to a single,I didnt have a puter when i bought the car and I have benefited from the knowledge of a lot of people on the forum,Hybrids cost me best part of 2 grand supplied and fitted,Mine also has a FMIC,Boost controller and ECU and I'm seeing around 407 at the flywheel which as far as I know is near the limit with the standard fueling,Seriosly consider going single,Ive wanted to for years
  5. To what I'm referring to that the piece of rubber trim surrounding the window is an incorporated piece of the glass,The rubber cannot be removed from the glass like the front and back
  6. Just letting you guys know that the rear quater lights come with the windows,They are fully encapsulated meaning the trim is non removable,The front windscreen trim is removeable but there is a possibilty of breaking the glass in the process as the trims are bonded in with the screen so once removed they need to be stuck back in using a polyurethane glue,Also because of the hardness of the trims they are better heated up and go in more smoothly,the back window trim should be alright to be removed from the screen by heating it up around it which should then give enough movment to remove it,Once the trim cools it will be back hard again so to put it back in the best thing to do is get a large plastic bag,Put a few large holes in it,Put the trim in the bag then close the end over a hair dryer and let it get warm in the bag for 5 minutes or so,If theres anything i missed then dont hesitate to ask!

    Runaway BMW

    Im sure I would be corrected and im still unsure as to why nobody has made the suggestion that if he had of just knocked the ignition off the steering lock would not have come and and also by leaving it in drive with the ignition off would have still provided power to the steering as the engine would have been still turning but also slowing him down at a lot less rate than the roundabout
  8. I have searched through the forums just to find a picture of where the thermostat is on a TT engine,My mate thinks his is knackered and mine is in my garage 30 odd miles away so I cant check it!,Help from anyone please???
  9. Wow,That makes for some interesting reading!,I will have to follow up on this I reckon!

    Well Colin,Josh is always up for car related stuff and I know that Daniel isnt,I reckon that the france thing by far out weighs football any day!
  15. Ive had more than enough work done by Hyeline and I have nothing but praise for them
  16. Where in the world are you Yankee as I fit or used to fit glass for as living so if you need help just ask
  17. If im not wrong then the V8 is an all alloy block and is lighter than the 2JZ lump which is a steel block
  18. Good to see you still have the original rear lights!
  19. It does look exceptionally low but I was wondering if the black bit on the coloured bit is removable as that would make life a little easier!
  20. There is an interior shot which shows that the gear stcik is sat rather high,So i'm guessing its not got the Getrag in it
  21. What you want to do is wire all the lives to the ignition live,That wat=y the gauge will illuminate when you turn the ignition on and wont go out when you turn the lights on
