  1. You cannot buy just the pulley from Toyota, even if you could get it elsewhere it's probably good practice to replace the whole unit anyway.
  2. It can be a little inconvenient at times especially if you pull out infront of another vehicle. On a slippery road the traction control can cut in and you lose a great deal of power and the acceleration you expected to have, seams to take an eternity to get the power back. Imagine the situation you could be left in!
  3. Switched it over when Madonna came on, the stupid bitch was seen wearing real fur a year or so ago.
  4. Did you use something abrasive like T cut, that's obviously what you need to use.

    Funny!

    Grandma says to her young grandson "be a love and help me put this tampax in" "Course i will gran!" she bends over, pulls her knickers down and spreads her legs. Grandson says "Do i put it in the brown hole gran, or feed it to the Turkey!" Edit, just removed the one that was posted yesterday, hope knowone spotted it.
  7. That's horrendous. It's happening time and time again, I'm not sure what the authorities can do.
  8. Only 31! I somehow had the impression that you were in your late thirties.

    700 quid to spend

    Yeah, we need to know. If I had a standard exhaust then an aftermarket one would be first choice for me.

    Wheel Question!!

    Yes, that's what I've got on my 19's. Whether or not they rub on the arches is very much down to the offset of the wheel.
  11. I've got a feeling that the McLaren have a lower fuel load, I hope Lewis gets a great start and Alonso gets past Raikonnen. He's got a great lead in the constructors and 8 points would be great if he cannot win, we'll see.
  12. I've got tears in my eye reading this, I really feel for hs family and friends. It's so sad when you look at his latest posts, realising that the poor bloke is gone forever. I'll never forget his tent in the back garden for spraying the car, just the sort of thing I do.
  13. I'm really sorry to read this, what a lovely looking cat.
  14. So they don't rust in the rain preventing removal.
  15. You just need a multimeter to check the wires and to jack one corner up at a time to rotate. Think I had it on the resistance scale with the ignition off as far as I remember.
  16. Servicing the cars isn't particularly expensive and they're very reliable. The main costs for me are obviously insurance and fuel.

    Compensation

    They'll ring you tomorrow and tell you how much! How do they know how much it will be if you only had the accident yesterday, I thought you would have to give details regarding loss of earnings and costs that you've incurred etc?
  18. You can do it in situ. A thread just for you . http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=61142
  19. Click on "USE ME!!" above and it will tell you.
  20. Yes, they just don't look right.

    Bite Advice

    Cold sponge for the swelling.
  22. Can we have some realistic suggestions please.
  23. It's not easy to stay calm when you're in the right and they start cursing and swearing at you when it's so obviously their fault. I was going straight on at a three lane roundabout at the end of the motorway, I was in the middle lane which incidently could also be used for turning right together with the right hand lane. I was in my long wheelbase van which is much larger than the Supra. This stupid cow was in the left lane when on the roundabout and decided to turn right , no indicators either. I beeped the horn and braked hard , they had the nerve to turn around and gave me all sorts of abusive. I decided to follow them as I was fuming,followed them about three miles to the Asda carpark. I had calmed down by then, but I just wanted to know why they thought I was in the wrong. They stopped their car and, this big bloke who was about 6' 7" and 20 stone got out, he was itching for a fight and was trying to provoke me Needless to say I was lucky to get away, not that I'm a coward but I knew it just wasn't worth it as you never know what could happen in such a situation. I ended up apologising to him , I couldn't even speak to him rationally about what had happened, the nutter wouldn't even listen. The morale of the story is - best to not get involved, you never know what could happen!
  24. Just seen this: 1 collection attempt, 1 delivery attempt, only. Further collection/delivery attempts will result in additional charges. Not so good.
