  1. This might not be the full answer but it may help. 37100-14810......Production date......May 93...to...May 96 37100-14840......Production date......May 96...and later It obviously depends on whether the other drive parts on your car are stock aswell. .. ..

  3. It's important to use an impact socket and not a normal one as the impact will be absorbed to some extent, avoid using an extension bar for the same reason.

    Sunday!

    I'm off to the football to watch Sunderland v Man City this afternoon. We bought my mother a season ticket for Sunderland as a present, but we didn't want her to go by herself as she's getting on a bit. So I've got a season ticket too to go with her and I support Newcastle like everyone else in the family. They must wonder why I don't jump up when they score. . .
  5. If you buy a vehicle you can offset a percentage of the vehicle cost as a capital allowance meaning you'll pay less tax on your earnings. If it's classed as a commercial vehicle they give you a higher first year allowance which is 50% of the vehicle cost , a non comercial vehicle is 25%, both restricted to a maximum of £3000. Each year after that it is 25%. So for a non commercial vehicle that cost £10,000. In the first year your allowance is 25% of £10,000= £2,500 The vehicle is then valued at £7,500 for the second year. Second year allowance is 25% of 7500 = £1,875 The vehicle is then valued at £5,625 for the third year. So in your first year you made a gross profit in your business of say £30,000 you would take 2,500 off that aswell as other capital allowances and other expenses etc to get to your net profit which is what you are taxed on. In your second year you take £1,875 off your gross profit etc.
  6. The race unusually starts at 12.00pm , on the tv from 11.10.
  7. Very interesting how it works. It is suggested that air flows into the cockpit via a chimney, believed to be known inside the team as the 'F-vent', on the nose. The air is the channeled through the car and out of the rear end. The air tunnel is believed, however, to have a hole in it that the drivers are able to block on the straights - using either their knees or elbows. When this hole is covered, the air pressure inside the vent is changed - and this helps stall the rear wing. This design, allied to small slots in the rear-wing's upper plane that were the original focus of complaints from other teams, helps stall the wing at high speed - reducing drag and helping produce up to six miles per hour of extra straight-line speed. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/81997 . .
  8. I use mine with a snow foam lance from the group buy that Peter Richards did. It's useless at cleaning the car when you just put the typical shampoo type stuff in the small tank as an additive.
  9. I fitted new oem Toyota droplinks, they were 10mm longer than the original ones on the car. Jim, did you get them from Toyota?
  10. As long as you fit them in pairs a difference in length should be okay as you still get them push/pulling against each other through the twisting action of the anti roll bar. I'm not sure what you mean. They're the same on the TT as the NA car.
  11. 20 quid is a lot of money to throw away even if the odds of winning are good. It's nothing personal at all, I'm sure the car would look fantastic . If the national lottery had a game like this to win £320 cash do you think there would be many takers at £20 a ticket? The chance of winning a few million at terrible odds is more attractive.
  12. I'm sure it will depend on how much extra boost the bleed valve is giving you over stock.
  13. If the brain dead idiot won't supply larger pictures I would just forget it, inundate him with ridiculous offers.
  14. The door opened, he stepped in but the lift wasn't there so he fell three floors. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8555609.stm , ,
  15. It doesn't come with an airbag so you may aswell look for a genuine wheel from a company like Momo, at least you know what you're getting.
  16. If it's done using the RAC wesite directly then: "The report is delivered on screen to you immediately after you purchase it. You will also get an email with a pdf version of the results attached. You should save this email for future reference as you will require the reference number to update your check". https://www.raccheck.com/consumer/RACgeneralFAQ.do

    Rusty nuts

    Soaking them in paraffin won't remove the rust, malt vinegar will.
  18. You've got it totally wrong. All "proper" vans have reduced speed limits.
  19. You're correct. But my J spec second decat came with a flange, I used it to fit my air/fuel sensor.
  20. It's not readily available like it used to be, Whifbitz on here do it , you'll need just less than 2 litres. Do a search on here and you'll find that it isn't particularly clear which lubricant is a definate replacement. No. Some recommended lubricants. The car needs to be level. I filled mine using a couple of metres of clear plastic tubing. Stick one end in the filler hole and attach a funnel to the other end and fill it up from the side of the car. You shouldn't have much left from 2 litres and it should be level with the bottom of the filler hole. It might be worth checking that you can loosen the filler hole plug first before you drain it out from the bottom hole.
  21. Megafactories - Watch the Lamborghini Murcielago SV role off the production line. 9:00pm - 10:00pm National Geographic Channel The series includes - Rolls Royce , Audi and Porsche .
  22. It looks terrible though, far worse than the original.
