Also handy for undoing things like glow plugs (y)
I have a couple of the Halfords ones, they are well made and accurate. They also have a decent storage case.
I was behind one of these a couple of days ago, I couldn't get a photo though. It had a hard top on but was in this colour.
82 on the road according to how many left, I'd never seen (or even heard of) one before
I had this. Crashed my Volvo due to having an undiagnosed heart condition (suffered a cardiac arrest whilst driving). Insurance tried to claim back the cost of a telegraph pole and someone's garden wall due to not disclosing a health condition. A health condition I wasn't even aware I had until...
It's highly unlikely that they would be checking for a cat after an accident.
I had a Volvo S40 written off a number of years ago. Stupidly It had a fair few undeclared mods. Koni orange shocks, front mount intercooler, intake pipework, downpipe and decat, remap and none original wheels (still...
Ticks a few boxes this one.
2.0d badged as an 'R'
s**t private plate
Crappy 'R' matching decal on the bumper and to top it off a fully functioning flashing brake light stuck on the bottom of the bumper.
Rest of the car was bog standard, wheels, ride height etc. What a moron.
A few cars from today at The Carding Shed. Had breakfast and a workshop tour.
Cosworth 4x4 powered
Lovely 205 GTI
You really don't appreciate how big these are until you stand next to one!
GT40 Replica
Points if you know what this is without googling it!
Nice SL
Me and the other half have 5 insured between us currently. She's got 3 on a mulitcar policy at around £800 a year (2 x Minis and a Jimny). I insure the other 2, Jeep Wrangler is on a normal policy using my no claims and my MR2 is on a classic car policy at <£200.
Combined its roughly £1400 a...
No photo because I was driving but I was behind an Audi A6 a couple of days ago with an RS6 badge on the back, along with the TDI badges still. Completely boggo basic diesel A6, not even slightly modified.
Why? What's the point?
About 5 miles ago :). It had all filters, plugs, oil, belts etc when I put the engine in the car. It runs spot on so I can only assume the cat needs a proper clean out or swapping.
Yes the lambda and HC results being where they are suggest a good fuel mixture, but high CO says otherwise which is slightly confusing!
What should I be looking for on the lambda readings? It has 2 precat and one post - would I need to be looking at all 3? Looking at voltage fluctuation I...
Not on a Clio, this is on my MR2 Roadster.
Sent it for an MOT yesterday but it failed on emissions. HC and Lambda were a pass but CO was over. Picture of the results below. It did previously have an engine that was burning a whole lot of oil, so there is potential for there to be some residual...
lol at 2k gear changes! What did you drive previously, an HGV?
N/A engines generally need revving much higher than forced induction to make power. 2k is fine for pottering about, but if you want to make progress you need to be getting up to 4-6k as that's where the power is (the little that it...
