Itll be 4 wont it rev counter information
Maybe pop the cluster out take it for a drive with a multimeter see what comes up when the shift light comes on
unless its under one of the - Not used ones and they just arnt telling us
Im not talking about cost , take the out of the equation for a bit
im talking what "makes" them better does costing 20-30 more make them better
What makes them a better quality product
Hi there all
Im building somewhat of a budget track car and was wondering why budget springs "apex" "Gmax" get Slated on here
id like to know the spring rates but finding those out is proving fairly difficult
Did a search and all that came back was "get cooksport , eibach loads better"...
Though i do have issues with them calling them "re-maps"
unless youve written the map then is should really be called a "re-programme"
or is that just me being pedantic (and i am in no way a mapper or programmer for that matter)
What he Said :)
Its how it generally works - Pay bill get car.
Plus my invoices state that all parts remain the property of my garage until the invoice is settled in full - if this isnt the case within 30 days , the parts will be removed :)
To be fair its a very grey area and to be fair ive...
Clutch at Trade price is about 50 Quid - £150 labour isnt bad , equipped garage will have it done in 4-5 hours
even on a 1*2 its hardly a job for a specialist
It should have taken them one day.
Sometimes im the first to admit that some jobs take time because if its a little more involved ill do a quick set of pads or something to earn some money and occasionally a job gets put on the back burner
With that many there they should know better - Sod...
Yeah i understand that.
they shouldnt have taken that long. id say if they were busy a week would be excessive. how big is the garage , staff numbers an the like?
Because Garages work for free ? engine out engine in 8 hours , Swap Gearbox and clutch over ? 1 maybe 2 hours , Cam belt change while engine out possibly 2 hours?
Thats 12 hours - Thats about 58 quid an hour in labour.
OP is in cheltenham an im not sure what independants local charge in...
I run my own small Garage - No Payment , No Keys is how i operate on Cash customers , Account is 30 days , no settlement on account on 30 days , anything ive got of theirs doesnt get touched , and if its finished they dont get it back.
why has it taken 4 months to do?
As the PM mate I did a throttle body on it a couple of months back
I didnt diagnose the prblem the RAC read the codes.
Owner was happy with it and ran fine fornthe last few months.
Could be something along those lines maybe. Water sits in the loom
Under the battery and that can...
Your right they cant - Technically if the cills have holes in them under the covers they cant fail it for corrosion if they have to remove said covers to see corrosion
Same loophole as the windscreen wipers not having to work if there is no windscreen
Id check your insurance just incase the unthinkable happened
Must just be me that keeps feck all in my car then - The van on the other hand..................
Id Say so -Get the opticians they will have a record of your last eye test a prescription , misses did the same when the A1 went Awol with here seeing goggles in
Someone Crashes into you - You claim off their insurance - Remains of phone and glasses should be in the car - though why anyone has 3 sets of sun glasses at all let alone in their car is beyond me , maybe im not one of the cool kids
I know when cars go up they go up and dont take long to...
Totally Agree , hence the number of cars being broken once people are done with them
I also think that they are at their lowest point i doubt theyll get much cheaper - but are there the new breed of enthuiasts coming through to keep these things going , like the MGB and austin healeys ?
There is always a "tax" on popular parts
be is rare gay things in the VW scene - like homo trinkets
or Cosworth/RS parts in the Ford scene
Bits that people want people are willing to pay for
