I dont have ABS and on 1 occasion I really needed it. But I didnt and I went straight into what I was trying to avoid. ABS would have enabled me to go onto the other side of the road. Instead I locked up and I kept hearing my driving instructors voice saying "when you lock up take your foot off...

I assume you could fit the 1.4 16v from the mk1 clio. They are around...someplace, but I cant ohnestly say I have seen one. Paul

At least you didnt come second. So close but yet so far, third at least you know you had a go and got recognition. Paul

LOL nice explanation KDF Paul

Will all these brighter bulbs around has anyone else noticed they are being dazzled by the oncomming traffic? More than usual I mean. Usually you look away and look at the side or the road or something. But some of these lights ( I assume they are dipped, but you cant always be sure with some of...

The rule of thumb is "vehicle behinds fault". Unless your doing something stupid, which it doesnt sound like you were. Then its his fault. So you werent in it his field of vision, is that your fault? Are you a seasoned lorry driver with experience on that particular rig? I think not. How where...

I said Radweld. Anyway mine was a pretty big leak. Emptied the hole damn lot out. It took 2 or 3 kettle fulls before it got near the limet line. But it fixed me up, but then again as you say, a valver is a different kettle of fish...or at least I assuime it would be. Paul

Just go into virtually any car type place and they should have it. My dad had some in his garage so used that. Its just called radiator paste or something. Just tell the people in the shop about what it does and they should be able to find it for you. I think it was Radweld or something like...

Oh god Rob! I hope your ready for this: Torque is the twisting force about a point, sometimes called a moment. The torque is defined as the force multiplied by the distance from the pivot perpendicular to the force. Torque = Force x Distance Perp. to Pivot For example: One foot pound...

Ok people, take a deep breath and listen. One horsepower is 33,000 foot pounds per minute. To find the horsepower of an engine, the torque produced by the engine is measured and the horsepower calculated. This is done using a dynamometer, which is essentially a brake with a measuring device -...

You dont act gay, you just act slightly camp. Its easy enough, as long as your confident in your sexuality it doesnt matter. The only time people get offended by gay people or worried by it is because they are not sure about themselves. I have gay friends, I can talk to them get drunk with them...

These are road cars for god sakes, aerodynamics are not that important. Looks are. If it was F1 then I would agree, but its not. Paul

You sure its 5k revs or your speed? Cos at about 50 i have just started getting a whistling sound comming from somewhere on the drivers side. If you switch the music on you cant hear it. But with it off it just sounds like wind. So there is a little hole somewhere thats just opend up that wasnt...

Did it have a water leak? Cos I had a similar thing happen to mine the other week. Just decided to drop watter everywhere and get very very hot. I switched her off, let it cool, then filled it up with water and drove rather gingerly home. Got back filled it up again and put this paste in. Ran...

Do you have ABS? If you do, which I assume by the car you have, you do. Find a nice open road. Get upto a fairly good speed (make sure its a dry road) then slam on the brakes. If it still does it afterwards then check the pads, callipers etc. Paul

I might help if you appologise for typing in capitals. Paul

Yeah its 12.5% or something like that. Paul

You never said anything about a hill! 3 peoiple in and a hill, you were never going to win! Just imagine how much hill climbing ability he has with a turbo strapped to his engine. Paul

Nah nickg there are advantages to looking gay. I am not, gay I mean, but sometimes if you act a bit gay then you quickly get closer to women. They dont feel pressured by you. Then you get them drunk and move in. Or just slowly become more like yourself and then ask em out. By then you have got...

What about if you just win a tenner? Buy a metro I suppose. I would buy a Delorian, as featured in Back to the Future and then spend all my money on doing it up like the one in the film. Then buying another one, making it up like the one in the film, then putting a much bigger more...
