BenR, A quick question for your friend... does he have his car serviced by Peugeot? if so why havnt they changed his brake fluid (every 2 years) or if he doesnt have it serviced then its his own fault! Tony

Ok, Brake fade and what is it? Basically brake fade is when the heat is transferred from the discs (and hubs) into the brake fluid, this causes the brake fluid to expand and boil.... this in turn leaves gaps in the line, now, you have gaps in the line so you dont get pressure..... its not...

Craggy, its an F14 Tomcat, the F15 is the eagle Well if it is a tomcat, the engines are pretty tunable but the chassis sucks, good straight line but nothing on the corners. Those turbod MG maestro things though.... there is one out there that does 11 sec 1/4 miles or something like that! a...

Could have been one of the Wentworths, they were boxy but had a large turbod engine, basically a top of the range model back in the early 90s. Tony

Ok, ECUs do adapt to the driver and the fuel, they may even be reset after your car is serviced, this may be what you are feeling (some Subaru garages do this and the car feels a little stronger ) The cleaner oil may also be why the engine feels better (not as sludgy so smoother running) or...

Well if you can save 9k importing a new one from Denmark i suspect they are a production model Tony

Phil, the P1 is based on an STi5 type R which normally come with no ABS and a center diff controller, these on the other hand didnt, you get all the good bits except crappy a/c which is fitted into the normal uk cars and not the climate control you get in the STis, but the do handle extremely...

Not a bad scalp but those 2.8 z3s aint the quickest of cars out there and they push out less than 200bhp (190ish bhp if i remember correctly) now if you go find one of the newer 3ltr ones that should be more challenging (231bhp ) Tony

You may actually find that if your car came as standard with a catalytic converter then law requires you to have it fitted, but like most people, we remove them and then add them back for MOT time Tony

You walked away, be happy ive rolled a van before, on a main road (bloody animals dashing out in front of me ) so know what its like It lets you know that your not the boss and that many things can happen on the roads..... scary aint it Tony

Sorry guys and gals but the SO3 PPs suck..... The previous tyre (the SO2 PP) was and still is a better tyre, the SO3 is a direct replacement for the SO1, the SO4 will be the replacement for the high performance SO2 If you never saw the tyre test that one of the mags did, the SO3 was by far...

Your green fluid is normally coolant (well it has been on pretty much every car ive had ) but the damage looks pretty bad and unless you rag the car daily with little oil in it then id expect it to run perfectly for years (unless something did break ) Tony

Looks like it could be quite interesting when completed but i still see some problems with putting the power down on a front wheel drive car as torque steer can make the car undrivable (esp in the wet ) Man, having checked and have now found that the std turbo on MY97 onwards is actually a...

Joe, i take it your changing your injectors, fuel pump etc? I know for a fact that in Mans case, 250bhp wont be a problem with a TD04 turbo, but the best one that has been found to work with scoobs is the TD04-L as it gave better spool up and is capable of running nearer 300bhp The major...
