Re: East Midlands - Rolling Road Day - Date TBC I'm in, any date. It's only just up the road for me. I want to see 300bhp and 350lb-ft next time I run so end June would be better (gives me time to get exhaust and intake sorted) Chris

Get another one sorted ThomasBrentnall I want to get mine on again!

Lol, I can't beleive that i'm now getting better MPG in my new car. More weight (only just), 60% more power & an extra cylinder and i'm still consistantly getting hight MPG than my 197 ever did! lol I even saw 40mpg at the weekend over a 60 mile journey!

If your Dyson wasn't much good on hard floors, I think it must be broken. We've got a DC40 in the house and a really old (10+ year old) dyson in the garage (for hoovering the garage and the cars) and both are great. Of course the more modern DC40 has better suction and is much lighter and more...

The gearbox oil should be fine, that's what I used to run in my 197. Chris

It's warmer outside, so it will warm up quicker!

I didn't think you needed the breathalyser anymore, the new 'law' was scrapped/postponed wasn't it?

problem with pivoting it is that it limits the columns to 256, so if the data is daily 6 years is too many. Not seen the data though, so it's possible to just pivot if few enough dates are involved. You can then use the combine option in the pivot to combine at year level. probably just...

Only if they are plotted on the same scale though, which that doesn't appear to have been.

I can probably read the codes for you. Don't have clip but have a wifi obd2 reader and dashcommand iPhone app. Where abouts are you from?

Did you damage the other car? If they are claiming off you for the damage to there car you may as well get yours done too. You're going to end up with a claim against you either way. I'd let insurance handle it personally.

T5?

I'm tempted to buy an 850 just to make a replica. There's a full set of BTCC decals for sale on swedespeed!

What's the situation? We have insurance specialists on the site, if you explain what's going on they may be able to offer advice. Chris

What's the issue witht eh Insurance company? Are you trying to make a claim that they are refusing?

I'm easily seeing 25+mpg out of my S40 so I'd say you have something wrong! lol

If it's modded, it'll be much more than 300bhp and 400nm. Thats the std figures for the V70R. Unless it's a modified T5? Either way will be nippy. Not as heavy as you'd imagine either. 1500kg max i'd have thought. It's easily 200+ bhp per tonne.

I'd be surprised if it's not more like 500+ nm of torque to be honest. My S40 is currently only 277bhp but 440nm of torque. I'm not sure what the older stuff handles like, will be pretty barge like i'd imagine. Straight line, you have NO CHANCE. you may have him off the line (if it's anything...

How do you really know you are buying a straight car though? My wifes car is only a year old and has already had 2 repairs, neither of which would show up on an HPI report. There are planty of cars on the road that have been severely damaged but not dealt with by insurance. Car buying - it's a...

They won't do no writing, they will always put the postcode on as it's the only way to keep the plate MOT friendly. Also, they have 2 eBay ads, one with GB logo, one without.

No worries mate, thanks for asking. Chris

There's an idea! i'll see if I can pick up an extra L and switch it - maybe. It's the VOLVO badge that annoys me most to be honest, I can't make my mind up over it.

Hmm, I might have to 'shop it first. Can't quite imagine what it'll look like without anything.

Sorry, yes. Would have helped if I'd put that! It's not just a sticker, it's a proper badge type thing.

Yes or no? also, should I remove the VOLVO, the S40, the T5 or all?

It's rare, but occasionally you do get the reverse. My car is low miles for it's year (2006 car with 53k on clock, less than 8k a year) but has been back to the dealer 3 times a year, a winter check, summer check and annual service! There's more in receipts than I paid for the car!

eBay: Autosounds_direct £10.99 + £1.99 P&P. Delivered the next day. That's who I used recently.

I sure do, it's been running 2 degrees above ambient recently (even with some hard driving) so seems to be doing a fairly good job

I read mixed reviews, but I can't see how the current Airbox can flow enough air. For a start the actual filter is tiny, also the ECU sits partially in the Airbox. The noise alone will be worth it though, even if I don't gain many ponies. I've gone from about 8psi to 18psi so surely a better...

I'm decatted too, milltek downpipe and decat, but then std Volvo system. I't really holding it back at the minute.
