  1. So this was basically all down to have an exhaust that was too restrictive?
  2. Well, I do have a Kenwood with Garmin SatNav. I have no idea if they're better or not. I've just always been a fan of Pioneer stuff.
  3. Nice, but you could also buy well-thorted-thingle for that money.
  4. Makes me wish I'd never bought a Kenwood... but the shop I bought it from were willing to reduce much more than the Pioneers, so I did. Woe is me.
  5. I liked it. Made my missus chuckle too.
  6. Nice work. Now you'll have to pick a new av.
  7. It works just like you described it... If you put in a bid that exceeds the reserve (and no one else does), then yours will show as the highest bid and will match the reserve price. If you put in a bid that doesn't meet the reserve, then that bid will only show if it's higher than an existing bid.
  8. Well, they didn't seem to be turning up and the clonking's getting worse, so I had no option to buy one new. I could have bought a whole car for that money... (Not a very good car though!)
  9. I remember getting told off my in my driving test for engine breaking. The examiner criticised / questioned me about going down through the gears when coming to a stop. I told him that I felt it best to match the gears to my speed, should I need to pull away again, and that the engine breaking would assist in bringing me to a stop. At that point he went off on a rant about how brakes stop all four wheels, while engine breaking only affects two and is therefore 'bad' for the car. He suggested that I should always skip gears when changing down. He then declared that my answer demonstrated a lack of understanding about how cars work, and said he was going to put it down on my form as a 'Major observation fault'. He said there wasn't a specific category for the issue I had demonstrated, but the observation fault was the closest he could come to. So, at the end of the test, I had four minors and one major, which he clearly made up. And because of that, I failed. That was my first driving test, some 13 years ago. You can see it still traumatises me now! I passed the second time around a couple of months later, but I'll never forget the a-hole that failed me, or the lame-ass reason why. Back to the plot... If your objective is to get someone to run into the back of you by slowing without showing your brake lights, wouldn't it be far easier to use the handbrake?!
  10. Near the BP garage in Bracknell. I waited at the roundabout and you pulled alongside and gave us a wave.
  11. As title says... I'd like to get my hands on a HKS SuperDragger in good condition.
  12. Still after a propshaft / driveshaft. Anyone?
  13. I wouldn't know! Is there an easy way to find the answer to that question? It's a Golf 1.9 TDi.
  14. A friend of mine has a newish Golf TDi. She says the clutch pedal has so much resistance that after half an hour of driving, her thigh hurts. She recently drove a courtesy car while having her car serviced (it was a petrol Golf), and apparently she found that clutch to be very light. Do you know if it's possibe to adjust the pressure required to press the clutch pedal, or if there's anything else that might be causing this?
  15. Darn, turns out the one I bought was for a UK. So, I'm still in need of a complete propshaft for my J-Spec.
  16. Cheers guys. I've bought the one d8moa has.
  17. I'll take the propshaft if it's in good condition.
  18. So James says, and I quote: "its the splined section that connects the two section of shaft that have too much play and therfor both should ends should be replaced."
  19. Thanks Keron. I've asked James if this is what I need. Hopefully will get back to you soon.
  20. Confirmed... it's the spline end, not the bearing end.
  21. Cool, thanks. I may hold out for one from a breaker or something though first... 495 is a lot of pennies.
