On startup each ballast can draw upto 15 Amps for anything upto approx 1.5 seconds, but this quickly drops to approx 3 Amps which is less than what your dipped beam would draw. If you've got the engine running first and don't switch on the dipped beam/fog lights together then your battery shouldn't have any problems. A good indicator of battery condition is how quickly it the engine cranks over on a cold winters morning.

It's a good idea as long as it's Shell. Difficult trying to get everyone to participate. Most people wouldn't bother because it would be pointless as everyone would have the same attitude.

Are you a member on Supraforums , did you ask?

Under £500 to buy without being too specific. If you're competent with a soldering iron and good at identifying wires it's possible to fit it yourself. Or Traders on here can fit it for you.

Stock traction control is well known to be useless! Racelogic Traction Control - RLTC is much better and is easily fitted.

I've got know idea when it appeared, I didn't have any anti virus software installed until today . I'll try a system restore first. Thanks

Had a few problems with the pc lately, not being able to copy cd's , shutting down for no reason. Just done a virus scan, turns out I've got the W32/SillyWorm.GK virus. If I do a clean install, formatting the hard disc and installing everything again. Will this remove the virus, feel like doing a clean install anyway to get rid of all the unwanted stuff thats accumulated. Cheers

You cannot buy them new, but it's possible to remove them for cleaning or to replace with some others. You need to heat the unit up in the oven or wth a hot air gun to soften the mastic.

It's not a film, just the "TT" ahem software for my pda. I had it stored in the top of the bookcase which has a small speaker on top, could this be the cause? I'll have another go later.

Just tried copying a dvd onto the hard drive and it get's about three quarters done and I'm getting a "cannot copy cyclic redundancy error". Also tried just copying to a blank dvd and it's doing the same. The computer decided to shut itself down aswell and emit a loud bleeping sound. Does this mean the dvd is corrupt? Thanks

Only kidding, it will be fine!

It won't I'm afraid, too wide.

Are you any good at moving files around and copying stuff from the net etc. If you pm me your address I'll pop a cd and instuctions (once I've sorted them) in the post.

Not sure about the Phone satnav. But the one in the link above is totally portable ( you can use it when walking through a town if you like), it's got a built in battery which you can charge up via the mains or cigarette lighter. It's got a built in aerial aswell. All you'll need extra is a sd card to store stuff on, a 256mb one is sufficient if you just want the UK maps. Most of us ( I got one recently) have Tom Tom installed. With TT you can use a full postcode or town, street and number or just point to a place on the map. Very easy to use.

LOL , It's perfect apart from the lid.

Could do with a new one, mine's all dented. I keep dropping it.

I would say it's definately the piston seals, it's the only thing that's been disturbed. With the engine running the pedal's more likely to go soft as you have more pressure either compressing any air that's got in or pushing fluid out. More difficult to do this without servo assistance, making the pedal feel firmer. -
You can also get different size sockets at Halfords which have a plastic coating to protect the wheels.

The car is often parked in the main street in Hexham. I had a look when we stopped to get some chips late last year. Don't like to offend another member , but god knows how it won any show car trophies. Anyone paying more than 9K for this car on Ebay would be shocked when they actually see it. Red fluffy interior, J spec brakes, useless monitors etc! Hope I can save someone a wasted journey.

I was the closest then , at 11.5K.

Really sorry to hear this! I know what it's like unfortunately.
