Thanks guys, all helpful stuff. Access at Silverstone was such a nightmare. The spot that I shot those from was the closest I could get to the track without having to shoot through fences etc, and I was hoping to get some good "crash" shots! I'd also forgotten how fast the open wheelers are -...

Hi guys, Been going through my World Series pictures, and I've come away with very few useable pictures. Silverstone isn't an easy place to get a clean shot as there are so many fences. As a newbie, I also have what can be described as "budget" equipment (a 400D with a £100 Sigma 70-300mm...

Hi guys, Been thinking about buying myself a DSLR for Xmas pressie, and had pretty much decided on the EOS 400d. However, just seen this offer at Park Cameras for the Olympus E410 and twin lens kit. Seems to be good value for money, and the extra lens would be very handy. Obviously there must...

Any help here guys??

Thanks Timmay. Any advice on best way to sell the car with finance still owing? I took it to an independant car sales place near me, and they offered £4.3 for it!!! Thinking it might be easier to take a lower price for it at a dealership, than trying to sell it privately and dealing with the...

Hi guys, Going to have to sell my Ph2 Flame Red 172, just wondering what price I should advertise it for? 03 plate 52k ITG panel filter & Pro-speed exhaust I was thinking around £5.9 - £6k? Also, I still owe finance on it, which will obviously show up on HPI. My plan is that when the person...

They were torqued correctly. I would pop over to Yozzasport, but its 200 miles and 3 1/2 hours. Suppose I could combine the trip with my service, which is due...... Just trying to rule out any other options before I swap them for new ones... Thanks for your help guys

hmmm. Difficult to tell. It changes pitch with road speed. If it was a tyre out of shape, wouldn't there be a vibration? Yozzasport have been great and offered to replace them for me, but it's a bit of a b*ll ache to change them if that isn't the problem.

Hi guys, I replaced the rear discs and bearings on my 172 about 3 months ago, but have noticed in the last few days that there's a whining noise coming from the rear of the car again. Is it possible that the bearings could have failed after such a short time, or is there anything else i should...

LMAO - Thanks Tarun....... CNUT

Looking for a video I was once sent by e-mail, and i think it might have been posted by someone on here. It was a Mk1 clio (looked like a williams or hybrid of some description), that was stripped and caged, going round a track (might have been Castle Coombe)?? The video showed it beating a...

yeah. was pretty booming. LOL

Woo-hoo! My first spot!! Cheers mate. P.S your new subs sound awesome!

I think she means Lambda sensor? It sits in the exhaust and monitors the escaping gasses. The ECU then uses this info to adjust the timing and fuel mixture. If it fails, it's likely the car would run like a bag of spanners. I don't think they're too expensive to replace though??

Had my pro-speed done a few months ago, and still love it. Haven't looked underneath the car to make sure it's OK, but it doesn't knock or anything. Sounds great too!
