  1. Have you done this before then?
  2. Does this mean a gauge can be used to display an output from the ecu?
  3. Are these temperature sensors any good? Can anyone recommend a good quality one?
  4. The fastest road car ever made deserved better though! Demonstration in a straight line against a Lamborghini, Ferrari etc. Show us what it can do!
  5. Agreed, handy to know someone who has the use of a guillotine.
  6. Very disappointing! These races they do are becoming even more stupid. The fastest road car ever to be made and they cannot even do a proper demonstration of it's huge capabilities! I'm sure it was nice for Clarkson!
  7. To do it properly you've got to remove the bumper and fit it behind the opening. You don't want any mesh edges showing. Like anything, it's only worth doing if it's done right! Good quality mesh sold here: http://www.espdesign.co.uk/esp.storefront/EN/Product/38801

    So's mine, he didn't like it last time when I went in and gave him the part number. Asking me how I obtained it, told him I got it off here. Probably thought I had an EPC, which I do.

    Washers

    Wash and wipe on mine! Might be a facelift difference.

    Best Tyres?

    Goodyear Eagle F1 are the most popular on here!
  11. In Hadyn's defence, It was on a certain traders website who has this product for sale. It does appear to be a crazy place to put it though.
  12. Once you've got it started the engine will heat up and retain some of this heat during the day. It needs this heat to get the diesel to burn and to start the engine, on some diesels the compression of the fuel/air mixture isn't enough to get it to explode. You need the help of the glowplugs when starting from cold after it's been standing all night. I'm using my van all day, on a cold morning I sometimes have to wait 20 seconds or so for the glowplug light to go out before I can start it. But during the day I don't wait at all because the heat is already there and you don't need the glowplugs.
  13. Yes. Testing them in situ will confirm that the problem is either them not working or lack of power supply.
  14. Very strange, the symptoms you've got are exactly the same as I had and 2 of my glowplugs had gone off. You've really got to test them in situ connected to their electricity supply. On my van I could remove the injectors and look into the cylinders to see the ends of the glowplugs, when you put the ignition you can see them glowing red after a few seconds. If you can't do that you would have to remove the glowplugs and leave them all connected to their wiring and again try the ignition to see if they're working.

    Decoke set?

    They don't. Curt Aigner from Elmhurst Toyota - Supraforums
  16. Definately glowplugs, get some decent replacements. Either Rover or Bosch, cheap ones only last a matter of weeks!
  17. Good advice! Sell privately, buy privately! Try to get a new a car as possible! 94 car for 12K!
  18. Correct, they're fine! I've got them on mine - 255/35 18 I really need wider tyres and wheels, 285's would be nice!
  19. You don't need to know anything specific about Supras to fix this. Any decent garage could fix it. It could be adjustment or something seized or broken. You've really got to take the brake disc off to have a look, even if it needed adjusting you've still got to check everything else aswell to make sure it's still okay.

    Get a Netgear one off Ebay. Good prices from this seller - JustDeals-uk. It says refurbished, we've had a few things from this seller and they're all brand new, must be some loophole or something describing it as refurbished! http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=NETGEAR+WGT624+108+Mbps+802.11g+Network+Firewall+Router Buy It Now £21.95
