As above really. I put 350+lb-ft through the front of my Volvo on a daily basis and get very little torque steer (It used to be a lot worse before I changed the bottom arms) Worth looking at rack bushes, TRE's and general suspension wear IMO.

When you say 'pushing on' what speeds are we actually talking? (on your private track of course)

Don't divide it by 4.4 as that's the wrong number. If you're going to do it, do it right. 1 Gallon = 4.546 litres

Really? The one I had says 200mb. I know there were rumours of 300mb on the internet but VM have never said that have they?

I'd have thought a slight smear would be normal, not a pool of it.

Get a proper courtesy car, or get your car back if it's driveable

Which engines are Renault built? I'm fairly certain all the diesel lumps other than the D5 are PSA/Ford/Mini engines?

It isn't. It's 200mb unfortunately and Upload isn't changing.

At least you'll fit in on Broadmeadows now! I used to stick out like a sore thumb in the R27

Is Virgin Media in your area? If so then that's the only choice really. Blows all other providers out of the water in terms of speed. 200mb download? Yes please. lol - what's it like back in the dark ages?

Easiest option is to use the 172 block and a 197 head and inlet I believe.

As above, have some bolts that lock in place mechanically. @dangerous dave Turbo is off to remove the two snapped bolts. They sheared flush to the face of the turbo so it had to come out to be drilled and re-tapped. Wasn't a hard job to get it off, took about 2 hours to get it off.

We Volvo drivers don't wave. A tip of the flat cap is sufficient. @McGherkin

They were the OE bolts that have been in and out a few times. I've got some decent ones to go back in.

I've got one but didn't use it (lesson learnt), they didn't feel like they were seized, they turned fineup to a point, then they gave up! I only had a tiny 1/4 drive ratched on there too, about 6" long so it's not like I coudl put much force on them. Maybe I over tightened them last week when I...

i know that, but i've had it off 4 times in the past without a problem, just seemed odd that this time they decided to seize in such a short space of time.

Was hoping to avoid copper based if I can help it

I've had a bit of an issue with my car where 2 of the 3 downpipe to turbo bolts had seized and snapped off resulting in me having to remove the turbo to get them drilled out and re-tapped. Now, these bolts had only been in for 1 week, so how they got so tight in there i've got no idea. I've...

Can be used with the watch also https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204506

The grease could be from a torn or spilt CV boot

So the decat had a hole in it? Surely that didn't help either. Do it properly or not at all.

Is it not easier just to throw a bucket of water over it next year?

What car is this for?

I personally would reuse the idler and tensioner as they are only a year old. So that leaves you needing timing belt, dephaser, camshaft end caps, top pulley bolts, bottom pulley bolt. I'm sure others will be along shortly with a more comprehensive list, that's just what I can think of off the...

This is the reason why i always take my car for it's MOT 20 - 30 days before it runs out. At least that way even if it fails I can drive it until it's sorted. I know that doesn't help your situation but worth considering for next year. £100 to supply and fit the Lambda is probably about right...

Is that price for them to supply and fit or just to fit? What's wrong with your current clutch and gearbox?

Either leaking or burning it, either way it needs looking at. 4l in 5k is massive! My old 197 used less than a litre in 12k

British Gas are releasing more products in the HIVE range later this year. Lighting, sockets, motion sensors and window/door sensors. They'll all integrate with the HIVE thermostat and you can configure macros, so you can have lights that turn on/off with motion sensors, turn the heating on...

If you're in a rush then a second hand engine is the way to go. Rebuilding it to a good standard is not something you'll do in a day, swapping the engine out is. Also, if you're having to ask how to take the head off, do you really have the knowledge/expertise to be doing the job? Having the...

Just the front? That's a bad idea. If lowering then lower th rear too.
