im not sure it would fit lofty, if it would then im interested as im sure it would be a more powerful one
however, at the moment i need to keep what little money i have for a diagnostic next week, and most likely new rear brakes tomorrow
stay in touch though, if it will fit and u still have...
cheers Alex, car is goin the garage tomorrow to check out the rear brakes and hand brake cable, and also possible strip/rebuild of the front calipers, so ill ask him to tighten the alternator and check the connections
hi mate i got some numbers now
ignition off - 12.5v
ignition on - 13.5v
stuff on - 13.5v
so this means its running ok ?
i had my headlights on main beam, the blowers on hot and on full, and my HU and Snooper on
cheers Gazza, ive seen those 2 before, been searching myself, however i think there pro ones and likely to cost a lot, plus i wouldnt have a clue where to buy one from
cheers Joe, and what do you mean by Renix.......?....
they got back to me, and the guy who called me said the only Haynes stuff Halfords deal in is the books, none of the garage equipment or anythin like that, he did suggest a Haynes book which apparently gives some information on how to get the codes without the help of a reader, im gonna go into...

hi Joe, ive just been on the phone to Halfords in Burnley and they said they havent got one, Gunson dont do them, but there gonna ring Haynes and ask em for me how much one is
im not expecting it to be cheap !
that oil is too thin for a 16v, expect to be usin a lot of oil, keep your eye on the level regularly, every 2 weeks at least if you use your car a lot
you should have used the 10W-60 variety, however this is hard to get hold of, as most places no longer sell that version
if you get a letter, which you shouldnt, then dont simply accept it as you seem pretty sure you wasnt doin over 30
for a start the camera has to be painted yellow, they cant just paint the front of it, so if you do get a letter, go take a picture of it before they paint the back
if there are...
