Yesterday I swapped over the whole interior with some 172 seats from @Kelv and seatbelts, carpet, dash trims and door and door cards courtesy of @AlexW. Already it's a much nicer and quieter place to be. The door looms have now given in electric and heated mirrors which the dash loom was wired...

Here we go again! Never did I think this would happen but with a few friends breaking Clios and the red shed sitting sorry on the drive needing some TLC the inevitable has started to happen. We did briefly put the car up for sale but it started to leak quite badly and after doing the maths, with...

I'm almost 100% sure this is driveshaft/gearbox related. I can't just swap back to the APs back on because they're on different hub spacing and it's a HUGE pain to change between the two. Look back at my recent power to weight shootout this looks to be quite a similar issue to the one I had on...

Yeah all working well and lubed up. They were refurbed not too long ago. I’m a good bluffer :smile: I barely know my own. Soft office hands. All the bushes are good. Was the first thing that came to mind! Checked the tracking again last night. I strung the car on Saturday and did it with a...

Martins car which they came off was fully corner weighted and perfect 50% cross. Heights are exactly the same on mine and we've got very similar cars and human mass!

Indeed, got ASTs on now. Don’t think it’s related to them!

Nope. I even filed the pads down more so they move very freely now

I’m after your ideas on this and what it can be. Brakes are not binding, all suspension is new and correctly torqued.

Cruise control is operated by putting 12v into one of the pins on the ecu, you then have those two wires which depending on resistance make the ECU do different things. 4 buttons work from the two wires.

That’s what I’ve done for now. Thing was creaking the whole way up :S That’s exactly what I was thinking of. Not sure how it would attach and detatch though.

Just to finish this thread off I got the boots from ECP today. They are listed as non powersteering ones as the powersteering is on the column not the rack. FSG3057 is the number of the kit. Google or ebay that and you'll find it. The diamater of the bit on the rack is 36mm and the boot is 30mm...

the fact I know you got them from euros was a massive help! they only list two so if it wasn't one I know it's the other :D

Cheers dude. I've just been looking on Euros again. I think it's the ones for cars "without powersteering" https://webcat.firstline.co.uk/ApplicationsDetails/47281/FSG3057/ Will go there tomorrow and have a look at both :)

I've gone to change my tie rods today and need new boots. Until now I've been using the ones from a sport rack but the large inner diameter is too big at between 39 and 40mm meaning water is getting into the rack. For the life of me I can't locate a part number for a smaller diameter DCi rack...

Evening chaps, I have quite a narrow garage making it difficult to get down the side of the car to jack it up on the sills. The subframe clearly isn't up to the job so I'm looking for suggestions/tools/jacking equipment (cheap) which will make this easier. I did think about having something...

Glad it’s all up and running! No risk of leaks now, yippee. God your engine bay is clean! Very envious of that. Mines grim. Climate and non climate looms are different in the skuttle so sounds like it’s only plug and play for cars with manual controls.

I replied to you on your youtube comment buddy :) I've just taken them off today to replace them but they've served me very well for a couple of years and can't fault them that much. Perfect for driving to and from trackdays but a little too soft for my very enthusiastic driving! They're made by...

I have come across this recently with my ASTs and am in the process of just changing over the hubs. You can pick hubs up for very little so why not just swap over and save the agro?

There was an issue with the rollers so whilst the paper says 212bhp it’s of course not possible without throttle bodies or a little snail under the bonnet! I assume it’s the same as when I went to Surrey rolling road which was 196 bhp and 170 lbft. Thanks Eddy! It’s difficult to find the time...

Just a quick post. I had another car day on Sunday with @Martin. and Rich. Signed up for a power 2 weight day with track obsession. Not a lot to write about really but it was a really fun day and as on all dyno days I left with a pounding headache from the lack of brain oxygen. Most interesting...

Didn't realise you had one of these now Dave. I've got a very early 330d e90. I wish I got that MPG out of mine, I really struggle to see anything above 38. Waiting to do exactly the same thing. Difficult to find it in good condition though!

the above is correct, any ph2 squib will be fine. The ph1 squib is totally different and the 182 version has cruise control integrated.

as soon as the reason for your original investment isn't there.

Got cryptos activated on Revolut today. Also guys talking about Ripple. It's owned by some of the biggest banks so running away isn't really a concern. The biggest issue for ripple is that unlikely other blockchain networks, you don't have to use ripple to use the ripple network. With bitcoins...

I was just thinking the same thing! My rear garage wall is falling down. Really like the look of what you're doing, especially how everything is wired so nicely. I'll be doing something similar but on a narrower scale! Do you remember what lumen the lights are or have a link to them?

I'm near J4 of the m25, can plug it in.

I’m pretty sure this is the creator still update as I got a load of rubbish installed like xbox live, 3d builder and mindcraft etc. Lost all my start menu arranging which was very annoying! Strangely Ren has used my PC all day today with no issues. I had a freeze a few times last night and...

Anyone else installed the presumed spectre/meltdown update? It was huge and required 8gb on my hdd. Now the PC is randomly freezing with no pattern. Processor: AMD FX8350

that one was a bit pricey for me. Ended up getting a USB 3.0 anker external SD reader. Great for £9. transfering at 4x the speed now and limited by the card.

That is extremely useful feedback and actually confirms a lot of the things I am already desperate to do. We did try to get a load of footage from Martins car but the spot meter being off on the gopro rendered a lot of the footage un-usable unfortunately. The biggest problem I have with making...
