also, have you heard an engine with too thin an oil, my handbook for my car recommends a 15W-50, when i used a 10W-40 once, my car was very tappety, i changed it about 3k later as i didnt feel the oil was giving a thick enough coating to my engine internals, based simply upon the noise it was making

yes, seein as your supposed to change em every 6k, id be interested in seein what one thats gone 20k looks like !

what i am sayin mate, is that thicker oils are better for older cars, they simply were not designed with the small tolerances of todays engines, and thin oil could possibly end up in places where it shouldnt, and not give a thick enough coating, such as in a Turbo, the GTT boys strictly advise...

also, then lets consider 2 other oils, of similar ratings to those being discussed 20W-50 Kinematic Viscosity @ 100°C - 18.3 Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C - 128.1 0W-30 Kinematic Viscosity @ 100°C - 11.3 Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C - 57.3 if i use some estimations, at say 70C, id say...

Joe what i was saying was that oils are actually thicker (more viscous) than others of a lower rating and if you consider the figures ive posted, then it still proves than one oil is thicker than another at operating temp, does engine oil actually reach 100C ?........i would think it would be...

on my RT you just disconnect the battery for half an hour, but i heard somethin about pressin the pedals in the 172 ?? might be worth a seperate post m8

yea

does anyone have one of these brochures yet

simon, is the file a jpeg by any chance is it in capital letters by any chance, or the JPG part is, rename it to small case, jpg

Joe, what you have said about the thick/thin is untrue, let me show you an example of two oils with different ratings, and there given viscosities 0W-30 Kinematic Viscosity @ 100°C - 11.3 Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C - 57.3 10W-30 Kinematic Viscosity @ 100°C - 11.9 Kinematic Viscosity...

Tim, ive had lots of grief from my ECU in the past (1.4RT), and possibly again at the moment, so ive done a fair few resets and lots of tests with my Ecotek on/off etc, if you change anything to do with the air intake i suggest a reset

hi mate, just thought i would let you know, today i had my car in the garage to check out the rear brakes and handbrake cable, and possibly front calipers as my car was drifting to the right slightly at any speed over 50 when braking my mechanic said i didnt need new shoes (RT) or drums or...

Hill Power - 01530 273633

based on my ECU experience id stick the pipe back on, if you want it off, reset the ECU while its off, and if you put it back on, reset the ECU again

i reckon it will fit mate tbh, but im pretty sure Nick Hill knows which ones fit so give him a ring hes a really nice bloke

well the black soot is just carbon isnt it........you used any Redex recently or similar ?

which strut brace do you have, it shouldnt, but i suppose its possible, im fairly sure the Sparco one is fine

its a bit like an air box yea http://www.mbrunskill.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/135-3520_IMG.jpg

its good, best designed kit for the RT easily, all the others for the RT just bolt onto the TB and as you can imagine would suck in lots of hot air if you already had a K&N on then all you have to do is remove that, put the hill power box onto the TB, put the three bolts in, M5 i think is the...

for the right price id also be interested, my mats are doin my head in they now slide all over the place

bump ^^

what did it quote for the other figure at the wheels ?

if its white you should be ok, shouldnt be any engine trouble or anythin like that, when is it happenin......how often ?
