Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. I was going to get a new laptop this week but just read that Vista will be released here in the next few weeks. Do I wait to buy it with it already on or just buy one now and stick with Windows XP?
Legend, thanks guys. I'll have a good wiggle then get the bad boy soldering iron out if needed.
Yeah not a bad job Edde, btw, thanks for the email, very helpful.
ARGH! I went to the garage to get my car valeted and when I returned to drive off, the airbag light and service light is on. Nothing appears wrong with the steering wheel. I think they've knocked something? If i switch the car off and then start it again it won't appear for maybe 5 seconds then...

Lol, yep sprayed it on the car, I could not for the life of me loosen the nuts. Broke a wrench trying :o . I unplugged the map sensor, temp sensor and...
Decided to spray my plenum today, pretty pleased with the results. Just need to sand off the Renaultsport logo and then give it a little polish. Do you reckon I should also do the fuel rail?
Thanks to Ben for giving me a few pointers (a lot) as to getting it off the car.

Thanks for all the help Ben, I'll have a look tomorrow..I'll just remove any plugs, lines I see obstructing its removal and see how I go. I'll take some pics too so If someone wants to do it and knows sod all like me, it could help them.
Thought so, just wasn't sure...
Okay I think I can manage the bolts, just a little unsure about the brake line servo and carbon cannister bit.
Is this safe for a complete novice to do? I can't f**k anything up can i? lol.

Hi all,
I want my engine to look like this, I've bought some heat resistant paint and have a few Q's..
i) Do i need to primer it first?
ii)I've had a quick look and seen the bolts needed to undo it, do I need to be careful of anything? The map sensor will need to be unplugged, is it just a...
Hi Guys,
I was hoping some of the more technical of us could help annotate the F4R engine. I'm a complete novice when it comes to engines and want to learn a little bit more about the engine. If you asked me to point out 'item x' I probably wouldn't be able to do it.
This is a fairly...
