Sounds like exactly the same thing that happened to me. As Chris says, its the contacts. Dont call Toyota... I did for a laugh and they quoted me £480+VAT=fitting for a new starter motor!!! Well worth the expense driving up to Chris's place for the repairs.

Just found the thread after a brief search! £6/gallon...

Hmmm... Toluene sounds good. I remember CW mentioning something about it on a thread not that long ago. Arent there issues with storing it? How much does it cost?

Can you remind me of the benefits of Millers again? It raises the octane level and helps reduce the possibility of det, is that right? How much is it and where can I get it from?

"They're taking their time to sort this case out!" "Yes dear, looks like I wont be able to sell the car for another month now!!!"

Is that the excuse you told the missus

OK I've got a TT and run it on Optimax... but my general question is that what is the best option if you cant get hold of Optimax? Is it BP, Texaco, Esso...? Which of these has the best SuperUnleaded option?

So what happened to selling it Dave? Have you decided to keep it or has it been hard to sell?

Good news Dave. Been a long time coming.

I'd say change your IC regardless of stock boost or not.

Cant be bothered to try and figure out the maths... its too hot in this office! If we're trying to get figures as close to 'at the crank' as possbile, then short of getting the engine out, you want to try and remove any of the inacuracies of a dyno or RR as possible. An RR will give a certain amount of wheel slip, this would be unmeasurable in real terms, and as such only a 'fudge factor' could be applied to give a 'crank figure'. A hub dyno removes wheel slip and would therefore be slightly more accurate, although you would still have to apply a guestimate on the transmission losses, and even then each cars' transmission losses would differ. Am I making sense or talking out of my arse!

Very impressive run dude! Leons wasnt a bad time either! Staying well away from impending bun fight

We had the same discussion on the first RR day to Petes!! 10% loss is too low, but 20% is too high, I think we settled on something like 15-16%, but it wasnt just as simple as that We based that on some cars that were pretty standard that were there! It was confusing... my de-cat Jspec registered 367 at the hubs...

Typical, me and Susie have just bought a place in Fairford Leys and are moving in a couple of weeks... and you're buggering off!!! As tonight is a bit short notice could we suggest something for next week? If not woking them we could simply meet in Aylesbury somewhere? Are you still on the same mobile number?

Oh crap... not sure if I can make it... Am in woking tomorrow though (well just up the road!) When are you off Tony?!??

There hasnt been lead in many Eastbourne residents pencils for several years now

And thats the dilema... this government have got some things spot on. I cant complain about interest rates (just bought first house!) and and employment is low, although its amazing what you can do with statistics and the definition of employment. Unfortunately they have (like most governments do) just started pissing people off. There are lots of (not so) minority groups starting to make themselves heard; the middle england lot... its just a feeling of general dissatisfaction. I didnt vote last time cos I felt that no-one had anything to offer, but I will this time, to try and make sure that for the next 4 to 5 years we dont have this lot...

Any that I can afford :flame Dev

Joe Public is crap at getting off their backside and doing things. Think of all those dumb noisy minority groups that make a song and dance about things. Everybody tells them to shut up and crawl back in their hole, but at least they're doing something. The Old Folk who recently stood up against the Council Tax are great IMO, if the rest of the public made themselves that much of a pest then the current government would grind to a halt. There seems to be so much resentment of so many government policies that something should be done. OK we can vote for someone else and get more of the same... The only shame about the current voting system is that there isnt a "None of the above" box to tick. Who would govern the place then? The current lot have got in with a turn out of about half to two thirds, and even then they only got about 45% of the votes... so they get in on ~25% of the possible vote... 75% of people either dont want them in or are fed up with the whole thing! Where's the petition to start the revolution???

Its gonna be a big mistake to raise the level of fuel duty by 2p. A protest can certainly focus minds and bring the point home, but it isnt going to bring results. Yes, the government gets a fotune in tax from every litre sold, and the garages only get about 6p... I heard this morning that if they cut fuel tax or dont put it up it would effect the health and education services... these are services that should be funded totally by income tax and not rely on top ups from other taxable sources... once again the motorist is paying for all other failings, just because we are easy pray, knowing that we cant do without vehicles for transport

Agree with Keith on that... great bit of kit

It must have been on holiday or something, but the "D" light on the dash came back on this morning after weeks of abscence... I've noticed it being intermittent ever since I've had the car, but this is its longest failure. Apart from a loose wire is there anything else that could cause it to go?

Wasnt that a Citroen?
