is yours a centrefugal charger then? as its not really commonly set up in that way you normally have the supercharger between the head and the throttle bodie its only really these centrefugal setups you see plumbed in the same way as a turbo

autodata gives you 6, although i can do them in 3 by leaving subframe up and moving box to one side.

you cant run twin/multiple bodies with a supercharged setup as the bodies mount after the charger ie throttle bodie-supercharger-head whereas a turbo set up goes turbo-throttle bodie/s-head but you can only run a throttle bodie or multiple if you can make up a sealed plenum chamber to bolt...

or diff end float - knackered thrust races causing diff to float side to side +cause fluctuations in speedo dial

can do the 1.2/1.4 8+16v's in just over an hour provided theres no probs with the crank pulley.. so you dont want to be paying too much for it.

you do all know the drum brakes will always pull up better than the rear discs! hence the reason in the olden days cars with drums all round didnt need a servo. only reason they are no good is because of there design the heat up too quickly and fade,, dont know who said drums are easier to...

quin direct do it, im just coming up to 19 and they have let me do it since i turned 18.. dont know if im insured with axa on traders insurance aswell as my quin policy?

its really hard to tell from the video, but i can hear a belt slap and a bottom end knock in the vid

i had the same problem on a polo that had some accident damage,, noticed the engine mounts were adjusted too far over to the o/s of the car and on hard cornering the engine was leaning on the driveshaft leaving no free play in it. felt terrible.. like the car was falling to peices. so yeah...

dont understand why that would impress you or why thats a better way of doing it??? airguns do no damage at all if you know how to use one with the correct sockets etc to protect alloys, and do nothing but speed the job up? they should always be torqued manually afterwards but i dont see how not...

thats the sort of thing i want to hear :approve: now for the next question - anybody handy at that sort of thing fancy taking the task on anywhere near essex, for a few beer tokens?

no? you asked what it was - its a clutch kit. what more do ya want?

and the fact that you still have all the weight of the winder mechanism - one of the benifits normally gained by polycarb on the front

a clutch kit

you have to wiggle it quite alot and beleive me it does take a bit of force - pulling straight up will do nothing you need to jiggle things abit :rasp: sounds stupid, but make sure you have the wiper arm lifted off the screen when you do it, otherwise the spring will act on it and stop you...

and of course the fairly standard rear hub bushes mot fail on vectras,,

could work if you had 5 or so cars ready waiting in said carpark for you to drive out with,,, or you could of course just pay for the stuff:lolup:

i would say you are probably right :rolleyes: every panel on the car looks a very slightly different colour, and its never been in a bodyshop from new! other than ofcourse my wing.

to be honest i've never had a problem removing wiper arms and i've never needed a tool on any ive ever come across- remove the nut spray some wd down it and pull it off. some one said be very carefull when pulling them off- its not that delacate they take a fair bit of force but always come off.

yep ;)

just out of interest how is that done on the pug radios?

yep ;) thats what i would say it is without looking at it- it can be mistaken for a tapping noise too. have had a few problem with hydraulic lifters collapsing on the smaller ecotecs

i recently bought a pattern wing from ebay (amazed at how well it fits by the way-with a lot of fiddling all the gaps are perfect) and due to the fact i couldnt be without my car to have it painted on the car, i gave the wing and the paintcode to the paintshop next door to the garage a work at...

ive since ordered a surround for mine, but here was my first attempt - wasnt that easy at all but the backbox was designed to fit an rs turbo fiesta which didnt help matters.... all i did weld the exhaust on then mark the edges, cut a rough circle shape (but too small) then just cut bit by bit...

fitted mine tonight quite easy took 2 hours though. had to take wiper arms and scuttle panel off, release all wheel arch liner 3 or 4 bolts along the door shut 2 on bottom of door 2 along top of wing under bonnet one upside down 2 bolts for bumper under wheelarch spat need to be released and...

if you put it in gear and rev does the speedo go up ? depends on wether your cars speed is sensed from the g/box though what model is it?

well first you need to answer the question of how much too short it is. then go from there. put the old box back on the car, bolt the mount up and look at what is missing. if its just a straight section then easy you need a length of pipe of the same diameter and 2 sleeves to join it together...

how much too much? its still not exactly a difficult fix
