    slightly off topic but'IF' ;) i was a stalker or mad axe man i would now know where you lived from that link cos it contains your postcode so perhaps not wise posting that on a forum where guests can view... re the car - im not sure you would notice the difference too much. worst case is to go...

    bike crash

    hmm it pisses me off when some of the replies here say that bikes are too dangerous. The only reason that bike crashed was because it was being driven by a t**t with a death wish who deserved to die. Pity the poor other fookers that he crashed into is all i can say. Whether you drive a car...

    Acoustic valve help please

    close at low revs to 'aid' swedish drive by noise regulations, opened at higher revs - effectively limiting the air intake (not to mention induction niose :) ) ph1 172 dont have it, later ones do but many have removed it (inc me) for marginal performance gains and to make it pleasing on the ears !

    How to wire up the rear speakers?

    if your planning a better setup then rerunning the wires to the head unit is better as you *should* be using better wire than the standard loom. however i did the quick fix and routed to the existing speakers in the rear. iso pinouts are standard...

    removing speedo 182

    as long as you take your time then its not bad. I didnt put the rubber bits back and was ready to scream when i couldnt get the dash out cos it clips to the back of the passenger airbag and ended up damaging the cornersof the dash and bending the metal on the top of the airbag (now its cut off :) )

    removing speedo 182

    u mean the plastic bit which holds the dials ? remove the dash via torx screws, 3 by air vents close to windscreen, 3 under shiney metallic plastic bit in front of passenger seat, 1 right of steering wheel, 2 under cover of steering housing which pops off. remove the plastic pillar covers from...

    Sorry but another induction question

    digital slr...deleted pics...help

    i often use a prog called active undelete which works a treat. When you delete something on a disk it doesnt actually delete it. Think of it as just removing the line on the contents page of a book instead of actually ripping the page out. The only time the data is lost is when the page data...

    blue v6, M8X V*, matlock bath

    pah that was just for show. Only drivable cars were basic petrols and diesels, with the cabriolets being booked up solid all day. Highlight for me was the wife being told off for driving the diesel megane sport too fast !!

    Tidy Vee6 @ Chatsworth Sat renault day

    Was one of the many invited to the Renault ride and drive day @ Chatsworth house on Sat and instantly saw this at the front of the customers car park. Nice number plate too :) No cs sticker but worth the pic

    What is this sensor ? Help please

    I was just checking under my bonnet on Sat when I saw that a sensor to the left of the dipstick and above the oil filter had copper of the wires showing on both wires leading to it. When i tried to insulate them with tape the rubber insulation just broke away in my fingers as tho it had...

    OBD Reader

    the short answer is you cant. I looked into this and the old basic serial interfaces arent upto scratch these days. The hardware layer hasnt changed much but the communications protocols have and the only ones which work are £1k+ due to the investment involved.

    scratch repairing / buffing / polishing advice

    Ive been toying with having a decent play in trying to repair some of the various stone chips and scratches I have collected in the past 3 years. My wife works for a Co. which sells car polishes and various compounds so I have access to some half decent stuff at a reasonable price should I feel...

    edde care to elaborate a little on that ? I assume the water feed goes to some kind of valve which weeps when faulty ? I havent took the bumper off (yet) so am unfamilair with the unit but how can it be glues to fix it ? Am assuming the system is water pipe feed - ==unit== - feed to bumper/nozzle

    14v idle voltage, 12@heavy load, normal?

    12v full load is ok iirc but at idle revs ? and is that with a standard or hoofing great massive stereo / amp / sub ? it should be fairly rare all that lot are running simultaneously and is probably an indication that the system is overloaded. If your getting 14v at idle with no load then id...

    14v idle voltage, 12@heavy load, normal?

    the higher the enginve revs = higher voltage produced from the alternator = higher voltage seen on bat. unless something is pulling it down like a larger load or iffy gnd / alternator

    Sprint Booster

    an interesting idea. I assume the standard setup have the lever with some gearing attached to a pot (either linear or log) which moves according to the pedal which the ecu uses (with some degree of latency). From that description the new one is able to tell how hard you plany your size 11 and...

    14v idle voltage, 12@heavy load, normal?

    ye unless you have loads of after,market stereo stuff then 12v @ full load is a little low. you certainly wont be running for long like it. iirc alternator voltages should be ~ 13-14V @ 3000rpm
