  1. Why would anything go wrong , don't worry. If they say other emergencies will take priority , that should tell you that they're not too concerned, all routine for them at the hospital.
  2. Yes, that number is for the timing belt tensioner. The one for the auxiliary belt looks like 16620-0W025 Check for yourself
  3. Let us know how you get on.
  4. Aren't the Powerflow exhausts custom made? Making it a possibility that the exhaust could be too restrictive!

    Alloy wheel help

    Have a look over on Supraforums ,plenty of wide wheels on there.
  6. It'll be fine, mine hasn't blown up yet. It's best to stagger the connectors on the two wires so that if the worst happened you won't get a short circuit. If they're the standard type crimp connectors with the plastic insulators they'll be fine, most of us on here do it this way.
  7. What a nice looking car. You can't go wrong with a stock looking car with original skirts and spats. Nice wheels too!
  8. The front will always be higher than the rear for obvious reasons, ie larger calipers, pads and brake bias I've never seen these sort of figures when I've had my MOT. If the cars stopping well and not pulling too much to one side then I wouldn't be concerned. Sticking pistons and sliders are what I would start looking for if they're not working too well and you've replaced the discs/pads.
  9. Haha You already sent my brother an email, it was his wanted ad on Pistonheads. That will be great, very much appreciated.
  10. Cheers . He's not finding it easy locating one in this country , he's after a red or yellow car . Some nice ones over in the US but you've got the hastle of importation.
  11. It was an eventful race, that crash was horrific and I thought the worst like eveyone else. Think I'll watch it again too, got to watch it for the press conference and post race stuff which ITV didn't show because of one of the most depressing programmes's ever made was on next - Coronation St.
  12. It is a C5 , the C5 Z06 has the more powerful engine -405 Bhp . I haven't got much idea either, there's some nice examples over in the States where he's been looking.
  13. I used the sandwich plate method but I wouldn't do it this way again. The adapter doesn't allow for the filter to screw on very far at all.
  14. Blitz have some on their site, I'm not sure who will supply them though. http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/Product-25.aspx
  15. Nine million isn't much to pay by today's standards. I'm not sure if we need him , Obefami Martins did fairly well for his first season but you'll always need some cover . If I was Owen I would stay and give Newcastle something back for their money I would only leave if Newcastle wanted this.
  16. Sump plug for the temp sensor. The Lexus bolt thingy for the pressure sensor, on the later cars they already have this bolt or you can buy a Lexus one or tap the one you already have . A search will reveal all.
  17. Where do you import from Jurgen? The reason I ask is my brother's been looking for a Corvette for a while now. He's looking for a Corvette C5 Z06 post 2002 with manual gearbox, preferably in red.
  18. That's really horrible , poor thing. It really is heartbreaking when something like this hapens You've got to think that you do your best for them but you cannot be there for them for unexpected events like this.
  19. That's great, nice to see him back home! We only let our cat out on his harness which is attached to the washing line with a long length of cord . The fear of him going across the road is too worrying.

    Mclaren F1

    Fingers crossed , everything for Hamilton has gone really well so far. I hope it continues. Nice to see Ferrari behind.

    New car help

    Looks nice, the front mesh looks very neat too.
  22. In my opinion anyone who removes any safety device on the car is acting totally irresponsibly . Infact I honestly cannot understand anyone who thinks it's okay to do this . Like Ric says, you would rather have shiney gauges and a nice steering wheel rather than dead occupants? A car isn't written off if your airbag is deployed!
  23. I don't understand what you're saying. I thought you said you had a passenger airbag?
