    Handling dilema-Not the usual which coilovers

    Agreed. 'Feeling more stable' - handling, 'More capable in corners' - cornering ability.

    Handling dilema-Not the usual which coilovers

    TBH you're trying to compare an apple and a pear... Give up. Get an Evo or similar to beat an Evo or similar, or enjoy your car for what it is...

    Dell R210 / R410 servers - anyone have these?

    If the HP new generation is anything to go by, the servers should be a shade quieter as now they feature advanced thermal management which enables each zone to be monitored and controlled completely independent of each other - so if your processor 1 is a touch warm, processor 1 gets some fan...

    Expensive New Toy :)

    Mmm. That bigger and shinier than both mine AND dk's. *sulks*

    Yozza fitted today!!! Pic Heavy

    What a shower! Anyone with half a car mechanic's brain should be able to spot the MASSIVE amounts of movement in the two rear mounts! Sounds like a case of "any excuse to make some money off this mug and **** off an exhaust because we didn't make it". At least it's on and you're happy now, hey...

    V6 subframe torque settings

    Good point actually - it is when reversing and not moving forwards! Sorry, it's cos I have to have 2 goes at getting out of my space... Lol! It's a clunk when reversing - forwards is fine. Although it's not done either in 2 weeks :-( missing it! But sod driving in the salt and snow...

    It's alright, if you take it down this month you'll get your invoice... Some time when he surfaces from the cars! Lol!

    V6 subframe torque settings

    Mine's always clunked moving off. Don't think anything's broke, just you don't usually hear it in the car!

    Or what he says. He's probably righter than me.

    f**king tight. IIRC, put a big bar on it, push hard, stick a bigger pole onto that, and push as hard as you can.

    V6 belt change cost

    Just like to add to this as well (yawn!)... When does coolant need flushing? When does brake fluid need flushing? When does PAS fluid need flushing? When does box oil need replacing? Before 10 years? Sod it, economies of scale and all that - bite the bullet and get it all sorted in one...

    Yeah, that too! Gotta do our bit for global warming, it's funking freezing out!

    Indeed. And I think 15 hours labour is very conservative, given that it was on the ramp for nearly a week (no rush to get it done - told him to take his time!) and every time I spoke to him he was in/under/on it...

    Aye, fair enough. However with the engine still in he probably wouldn't have spied half the little 'issues' he did and had fixed... Swings and roundabouts, my friends.

    Most definitely! And I'm not saying it's wrong to offer that starting point, but at the same time trying to be realistic for Ste in that it's not just about what the starting point is... As for not needing to take it out, well - maybe you guys employ gynaecologists but I couldn't get Weeman's...

    I <3 it when you talk dirty to me David. At least I have the comfort of the knowledge that mine's bigger. x

    What brakes to get?

    Groovy. May have to have a crack at those next time round as my rears are dusty as f*ck anyway.

    V6 belt change cost

    Trouble is, with the greatest of respect, that's the bare minimum. While you're in there, is the clutch going to see another 5 years? Nah. Plugs? Well, the thing's out now so may as well. Air filter etc is on the other service I'm assuming? It's not as cheap an affair as people try to...

    Can do you good deals on HP servers... Didn't think anyone bought Dell anymore! What do you want? DL120 and DL160 about right by the looks of it?
