Has how much can you do them for? Paul

Right, switched on the old radio today, fart central on MW and LW but FM was just whiney. Will see how busy I am over the next few days and maybe have a bash...and if there is more time have a look at the wiring...boom boom Paul

Andyrig, Yes it whines louder or quiter depending on the revs, sometimes it sounds cool, but most times not. I conned a mate into thinking I had a turbo :D...well for 5 minutes anyway. No matter whats its on, radio/md/cd it still does it, used to be terrible on radio. On medium wave it...

Aha pete, you may have something there. They all run together down under the bottom bit under the door. Would that cause such a problem? Paul

Good, so where does it have to go? Paul

Why mount it on the sub box? Thats asking for trouble, all that vibration is going straight into the amp, and it may dislodge or damage something. You never know, so best not to risk it. Paul

Well the earth cable is no more than 30cms on all of them, but its all about 1 cm thick, or something like that. So do I need to go thicker still? Paul

Thats what I thought, but everyone one I asked started with a sharp intake of breath, you know. "wwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhuuuuusssssssshhhhhhhhh well, its hard to say what it is wrong with it" Its the alternator isnt it? "Well it could be, or anything connected to it, you could put a supressor on...

Hello all, I fitted a nice little setup in my car, two home built sub enclosures and a nice acoustic box for some 6x9s. (fitted behind some race seats to level out the stripped out back) They all have there own amps individually wired up. The amps come from the head unit, the two subs off the...

Hello, Be carefull, your video may not be admitable in court if you do not clearly state that video recording is in operation on your property. There was a case I was told about where a theif, sorry a suspected thief, broke into someones house, they got him on camera. He sued, and won, for...

Oh and can you show us the picture? Paul

If you have any doubts dont bother, or if you think it might be worth it you could ring up the AA and get them to do a check on the car, ie to send someone round and check it out, do checks on the computer to check it is that car etc. Costs about £80 for your first one, half price for the second...

How are you driving the car? ie are you thrashing it everwhere? Paul

So does anyone know if I am likely to get a ticket from this? Paul

The funny thing was, I was looking at the van thinking "what the hell is that thing, and why is it parked there" and not looking at the road, so it was is very much a distraciton, contemplated ringing the police and telling them so. Paul

Just to warn you there is a temporary speed camera on the University roundabout, well just off it actually, going down to town. If your comming the other way you cant see it because its parked behind a big sign. I think I was doing about 33 in a 30 as I always accelerate off a roundabout...

Cheers BenR. Paul

Dodgy valve maybe. Sounds like it. Paul

Hello I hope someone is reading this. Anyway, my final year project is on car modifications, well in particular 3D representations of visual mods, where users get to pick what they want and have it displayed on a 3d car. I am writing about all types of mods and I am writing it up now and...

Hello, Spotted a new 182 on friday afternoon driving out of Lincoln, but it didnt have any reg plates, on either the back or the front. Well actually thats a lie, it had blue ones saying "clio" in fancy writing. No delivery plates in the windows or anything. Is that legal? Paul

You and you girls with your power steering. Paul

Could of course be a dodgy light aswell :D Paul

Noel Pilot you can get pcs called barebones pcs. They come in really small boxes. Paul

I wanted a touch screen slide in and out sat nav/cd controls one. Never found one anywhere near cheap enough. A bit pointless really, especially when I spend most of my driving time going down the same routes as I always do. Paul

I darent go anywhere near the limet in 1st, 2nd is a different matter though. Paul

You got 35 out of first? On a 1.2? Paul

If its lowered you might have too, but mine isnt (at the moment) so I could easily get under it. Oh another point, do it after its been sat for a while or you will go burning your arm on the exhaust. Paul

Hmmmm low bhp, I think its down to something wrong with the engine :o;) The easy stuff would be to check the breathing, ie check the filter and air intake, make sure there are no blockages, also check the exhaust, kids round here like to put things up them and jab them up till they wont go any...

Spoke to a police officer about this. If the wheel is illegal (ie bald) and its on your car, even if its in the cradle, you can get done for it. But its not legal to have one. Remember to get some of that spray stuff to re-fill/seel your tire if it bursts. It will make the back end higher though...
