  1. There's a wheel fitment guide for the wheels that fit over the larger UK style brakes, I very much doubt that it's up to date though.
  2. These are good for BPU NGK - BKR7E (6097) - gap 0.7mm
  3. I've been driving a diesel van for the last nine years and I've never noticed this.
  4. Is the car you are towing an automatic?
  5. That's exactly what I meant. I know they can't deliberatly go slower as this is very difficult to do this consistently not to mention the fact that it's easily picked up by other teams who monitor such things such as max engine rpm using fancy gadgets. It's still known as "sandbagging".
  6. I'm curious, how do you hit a water main?
  7. They still do it to some extent, if you follow F1 intently like I do you'll know that it's mentioned frequently.
  8. It's always difficult to tell who has the advantage , it's common practice to sandbag as some of them especially the front runners won't want to reveal what speed they've got.
  9. "project house" is this being built at the moment? Are the floorboards down etc as this will dictate labour costs? You could do it yourself and then get someone in to connect the gas.
  10. I'm surprised that the silicone is still holding them in place. You can buy silicone remover from B & Q, I cannot comment on it's effectiveness as I haven't used it before.

    Mobile Phone

    You probably won't be impressed, 200 minutes , zero texts - Virgin I was just trying to make the point that your monthly cost should come down considerably if you kept you phone.
  12. My dad has the 2.2 TDCI 155 Bhp, It's really nice to drive.
  13. When Clarkson was standing next to the lady with the big knockers which he could take his eye off. The out-takes are really funny,it took a few attempts before they got one which they could broadcast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6XtBbrPilA

    Mobile Phone

    I came to the conclusion that I didn't really need an upgrade , reduced my monthly cost from £30 to £15.
  15. Can't you use a right hand drive one in Portugal?

    Mobile Phone

    Why don't you just keep your existing phone and your monthly payment will come down, that's what I did. Upgrades aren't free!
  17. They're very easy to buy, £20 or more a set. The thread size is M12 x 1.5 There are two other variables, the seat profile and the size of the head socket size. These on Ebay show you what's available. I'm not familiar with the Advan alloys so I cannot tell you which ones to go for. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20-ALLOY-WHEEL-NUTS-M12-X-1-50-HEAD-17MM-19MM-21MM_W0QQitemZ250203615333QQihZ015QQcategoryZ72257QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Traders on here will have them, Ibrar at Tyrelogic.com will be your best bet (Look at the Authorised traders on here)
  18. The part number changes in May 97 .

    New TV?

    Carlos is right! I did a load of research into which is the best 42" TV before Christmas as we wanted to buy one for our man and dad. The best is the Pioneer, I'll not tell you the model as it's a little expensive for you at approx £1350 minimum. Now come the Samsung PS42Q97HDX and the Panasonic TH42PX70 , the Samsung is cheaper. They both give really good pictures with standard definition tv and obviously better with HD.
  20. "I didn't get where I am today without recognizing a real winner when I see one". I DIDN'T GET WHERE I AM TODAY.........
  21. Everywhere under the the carpet including the boot and the inner rear arches. In luxury cars they use acoustic felt type stuff. Dynamat is okay but it's more suited to dampening vibrations on thin panels, I used it on the doors . On the floor and arches I used dynamat and felt.

    Moral Dilemma

    He needs points on his licence, I wouldn't be a passenger in his car either. The resident cops on here should be able to give you the best advice. There should be an automatic prison sentence if you use your phone while driving.
  23. I fitted my toad ai606, It's never gone off since I fitted it three years ago.
