Hi guys,
My mate is visiting Northern Ireland and his MOT ran out yesterday. He tried to book it in over there but they won't take it unless he registers his car at a address over there.
He is back in a week. Does anyone know his legal position. If he calls a garage back in Scotland and...
Was getting insurance quotes today and the DVLA database has my car down as a DCI (80) i was sold it as a DCI (65)! How can I check? Although it would be nice if it was a DCI 80 it would mean my insurance is probably void!! How can I get the DVLA to update their records?
Cheers Dave
Fair play mate. I dunno if anyone has any great recomendations for £30 speakers. I reckon u should just go for some. Most of the people who read the ice section are spending £100's. I had troubles getting recomendations for speakers with a budget of £100!!! Everyone always says u should get jut...
If the head unit he fitted puts out decent power he will definatly get an imporvment with some new speakers? My Sony CDX-7500 sounded gash with the standard speakers. I don't run an amp and it sounds much much better with uprated speakers.
One thing to remeber is that the under dash tweeters will still be wired up if u replace the door speakers with coaxils. I had a set up like this for a while before I got comps and the treble was a bit on the high side.
It is funny how everyone has ignored your budget and speaker type!!
Don't think you will get much for £30 I would wait and save up. Better to save and have around £80 than spend £30 now for little improvement and have to speand £80 anyway in a few months.
Although I guess these...
Cheers guys. Don't think there is anything wrong with it I am almost certain I was just being paranoid. I will take it into another dealer and get a second opinion.
It is running perfectly. There is only really a small puff of black smoke if I sit and rev hard. Much less than before the EGR...
Cheers edde.
I am probably just being paranoid (as usual). I think I am realy just trying to find any old excuse to sell up and get a sport!! I will take a wee video of the smoke perhaps you could give your opinion?
It is under warenty yup so good plan. Anyone know if the cleaned EGU will...
Hi,
Sorry to drag this one out.
I asked for some advice on the parkers board. They have recomended that I sell up becasue the car will get knackered doing the short journies that I now do.I went from 100 miles a day down to 4 miles a day!!
They also asked if my turbo whistles at all...
Good idea cheers Mark. I have just had so much conflicting advice. Some people saying it is fine some saying it isn't. The most worrying was the mech telling me it didnt seem normal this monring and then them telling me there is nothing wrong this afternoon!!
Ok I took the car back in this morning as there is still a cloud of black smoke every time I accelerate.
This happens when the car is hot or cold Any time i rev to about 3 - 4k rpm from idle I get a cloud of black smoke.
Yesterday they cleaned the EGR valve and sent me on my way. As soon...
Nope they didn't wash it.
And they didn't actualy fix anything!! there is still the same black smoke as before the cleaned the valve.
They also told me I was lucky as cleaning that valve isn't under warenty but they did it as a good will gesture!!!
Great back in tomorrow then!!
