Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
oh dear mate. Its a bit hard to tell what im looking at as im on my phone. Is that a big end bearing thats spun? Either way its going to be a new crank at least. Good luck with it jord
id say, buy one, but as danny said be prepared to do some work on it. They are such good fun and so rewarding. I had one and learnt so much working on it. Some have been fcuked about with now, ive seen some with really bad loom adjustments. Be carefull when buying
from the looks of that. It's tricking the ECU into supplying the rail with more fuel pressure. This will probably result in more fuel being delivered.
It's an interesting idea, as diesels work by using a constant amount of air and varying the fuel. If you push in more fuel than the manufacturer...
Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
sorry mate, can't put a number on a light skim myself. Hopefully someone else can. Pretty sure you could just ask for an unspecific light skim, but then....knowing the luck this car has brought....hmmm
Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
New crank bolt in the bottom end - check it turns over
Light skim (although not essential IMO)
Back together
Timed up :S!
Check it turns again
Back in the car and forget any of this ever happened
:D

I don't think theres too much to tell atm apart from the fact that Gordon brown is a w*nker for the price of car tax :( Oh and insurance takes the piss too.

Short review:
It does uTube pretty well.
IPlayer application is cool, but christ it's a bit iffy. Stalling and lagging on my 10meg Wifi
Texting is a doddle. So So many keyboard layouts including handwriting with the stylus
Actually calling someone is good too. :)
Cliosport works well...
This could easily be an O/S wheel bearing (at the front or back - probably front)
Secondly. Get under the car and look man! If a shaft has gone then it will have thrown CV grease everywhere (inboard or out board)
Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
Reckon you'll be able to get that sheared bolt out jord? had a go yet?
Alll I can think is: If your starter engaged and then failed to retract off the flywheel, then your going to be turning engine and starter motor on the crank bolt. The gear ratio between fly and...
Do a quick google on making vista lighter.
Easiest way to start is disable themes
Windows+R > services.msc > 'Themes' right click >properties > disabled + stop process.
Also think about ligher security (like trend micro, or one of the lighter free ones - AVG)
Vista is not a progression. XP...
Absolutely ditch vista. I wouldnt think twice about it. Straight out the box and format the fcuker.
I will confess that some ways of installing XP are cheaper than others....
So you need to think about how your going to go about getting an XP install (not re-install) disk and key and then there...
