Only in second gear though AND at 5krpm? I assume that you've tried it at >5krpm in other gears also? Check the basics first: Engine mounts, driveshafts, suspension mounting/bushings for signs of adverse play. If these are all fine then it has to be an internal box fault. Mick

If it's only happening when starting first thing (true "cold" start) but running fine once up to temp, it is more likely to be something along the line of an H02 sensor fault (heater element or function control) or possibly even a the CTS (Coolant Temp Sensor). Ideally though a quick look at...

Normally it is a noise associated with wear or age to the clutch pressure plate. Mick

They're specific to the RS so if you're going "used" you want a Phase 2 vehicle with A/C, be it a 172 or a 182. Marking is Valeo A13VI300

Its not an insurance reason Josh, its because I only work on Renault/Nissan Alliance vehicles and have no experience with anything else (which is why I specialise in them). I guess it's an easy job but without ever having touched a Kia before, let alone see one, I don't know how they're built. Mick

About what @fairm010? I've not had any emails from anyone about a TCe in a while now.

I'm doing a little experiment with my watch today. I've gone nearly all weekend without a charge (it got 20mins yesterday afternoon) and I'm on 21% battery with a full day to go... Let's see how good this "power reserve" feature is.

At the minute the limits may be small but there are some retailers pushing for the removal of limits and it's only a matter of time IMO before the banks do.

You will need to fault find the circuit then chap. It could be a fault within the car or it could be the cluster itself. You will possibly need professional help as you will need more than just a few screwdrivers I'm afraid.

New cable time... Not the end of the world.

It's already booked in for the removal of all brake lines, covers and exhaust when it has the bit of welding done. Full chemical clean followed by an underseal to the floor and wheel arches. This fudger ain't rusting away on my watch!

Indeed, there is really very little difference between the 16v and the Williams bar the engine and running gear really and nearly everyone that comes in to our workshop always spots it and then utters the words "Ooh, a Williams" for me to have to tell them otherwise. Maybe it's the power of...

Oh yeah, because Apple device lol I really couldn't give a s**t about it which is why i wear it whilst working on cars. I paid for Apple Care + so want my moneys worth.

I get two days from a charge so Neeerrrr :P

Thing is, anyone who is really in to mechanical/automatic watches is never going to buy something like this anyway are they? Even some of the older G-Shocks are holding good value but it wouldn't attract the attention of a mechanical freak. I've got two Omegas (SM and a Speedy) myself along with...

As above, I only said I didn't like the look of it with the fashion bands. I honestly never saw the point of it at launch... In truth, after owning one for a month now, I still don't fully see the point of it but I fancied wasting some money on a new toy and this kind of fitted the space. I'm...

It'll be no different to having your wallet or phone stolen now tbh. You'll lose what ever cash you had in it but cards are pretty safe. The same is true with your phone unless you have it unsecured in which case, you deserve everything you get. You do need to authenticate ApplePay with TouchID...

Now, can we go to the pub? I'm paying... here's my phone, get em in lol

I think they're about on equal footings TBH as there are still a lot of Valvers out there used as serious track toys but there aren't many left in road legal condition. I think DVLA are showing around 400 in road worthy states which considering how many we used to have on show stands in the...

That's just it though, you don't have to do a song and dance with your device on show or make a bell end style announcement to the World that you'd like to pay with your iPhone/Watch. If the terminal is contactless it accepts ApplePay and I've had no one look at me and think "What a Wanker"...

It looks great @.Stevo.C. so take as long as you need to do it. I really wanted a W1 myself despite me hating the interior in them (I find the blue clock sets terribly dated now) but after looking at loads, I couldn't find a single decent one for sensible money and lets be honest... a W2 or W3...

No arguments from me on those points and I am a fan boy.

Contactless payments are used widely all over the World though without issue or limit and your phone is a device which *most* people tends to have on them over *95% of the time so it makes sense to have this as your "go to" device for shopping, boarding cards, travel passes and p**n. I'm all...

Using contactless payments isn't a prerequisite for looking like or actually being a c**t. You're either born one or you're not. Yes, you need to open Passbook and select the card you wish to use. Have you tried it shopping online yet?

I like it, sounds like you're building it for you rather than making a few £££'s

It's the only place where adjustment is possible. Remove the retaining clip and pull the shroud all the way out and then replace the clip. Back inside the car and you should notice the throttle pedal now sits higher than the brake and clutch does. Press the throttle pedal all the way the floor...

I use it whenever and where ever I can. Love it. We have it at work now but until the spending limits are removed, it's pretty useless.

We charge £550 to do this job with a dephaser but if you want to shop around feel free. More information on what we do can be found on our website at... http://www.diamondmotors.net/our-prices/timing-belt-replacement/ Mick

What percentage does your domestic fridge lose per year?

*Normally* when the refrigerant escapes it is for a reason (e.g.. a leak). A healthy system won't just lose pressure otherwise so it kind of winds me up when places just recharge and send you on your way. Chances are the seals are shot and need replacing OR you have a poor joint somewhere...
