I recently bought a Saab 9-3 Estate and have noticed the rear quarter has been resprayed at some point. Upon closer inspection you can see where it's been masked off against original paint work! The overall finish is also a little duller than the rest of the paintwork and actually looks a bobbly...
It failed on the lambda reading, not sure by how much but all other readings are OK. It had a replacement sensor last year, is it worth changing it again? What could be another reason for it failing on this?
Ideally I'd like to spend £45 on the OEM parts however my Mrs drops phones for fun so it would be a waste! I'll have a little look on Amazon and see what I find.
Thanks for the info all.
I've been running Sportlines for a while now and had no issues on 90k shocks! I'm changing to Cooksports and new shocks soon and this sounds a little worrying?!
I'm pretty sure it's a cheap replacement as it only cost aprox £200, this was fitted prior to me buying it.
It's been mapped with an RS Tuner a while ago however I think that was after it's last MOT.
The garage I use is a local one that's MOT'd the family's cars for years so I trust them...
Last year the garage had it for 2 days which consisted of spirited drives on the ring road and then testing. It helped to lower the emissions a little however it was still just failing. I'm not wanting to fork out for a new CAT however it seems like this could be the last resort if it fails next...
Every year my car seems to fail on emissions despite replacing various sensors. It's had a replacement CAT around 3 years ago so I'd also like to think that's ok.
I was wondering about dumping some Redex in this weekend and booking it in for Monday. I'm not sure this will make a difference but...
Yozza isn't for you so defo rule that out. RS192 exhausts are a little louder than standard and you can always increase the noise with a decat at a later date ;)
I bled my brakes earlier in the year with this, great stuff and performed without any issues at Bedford.
I forgot to suck the old out first so I learnt the hard way! I also used the Gunson Easibleed kit, highly recommend it if your a one man band when working on your car.
Great info, that really helps.
As you can tell I'm new to this so all the tips are good. The Canon printer seems very reasonable if its capable and could be a good start. I've still got plenty to spend on laptop, new lenses etc but if I can recoup some money that's great.
I don't think I'll...
Thanks for the advice, do you host your images on a website? My only concern was the cost of a website and the fact people want the images to take home with them.
Oh also if I did go down the website route what's the quickest way to watermark multiple images?
It was £14 a print at a one day event in Milton Keynes yesterday! Luckily we've got a local yard that runs regular events and currently have no photographer, also a bonus that we know them.
After some great advice from the CS guru's about lenses I'm now after a printer.
Myself and a friend will be shooting equestrian events and uploading there and then to a laptop. The riders can then view the photos and we can print for them to take home.
This isn't by any means a big operation...
That's my plan! The last couple of 1 day events I've been to have had no photographers or stupidly over priced ones.
I'm not sure this would be suitable due to it not having IS?
That thread is a good read, some of the shots are really good. I'm going to get saving and I'm pretty sure I'll...
I've recently been shooting some equestrian events with the kit lens (55-300) and I find it to be very poor quality. It's the non IS version and shooting without a tripod gets some terrible shots!
I need to invest in a new lens with IS so get some crisper photos without the need of a tripod. It...
