  1. My only question would be; how are they going to enforce it? There aren't any police in the countryside anyway. I've lived in our village for nearly 2 years and I've seen ZERO police presence. When I lived in the sticks up in Shropshire, I think I saw the police twice in 15 years and one of those times was at the Primary School :epicfail:
  2. Parts should be arriving today, but I'm working away til Friday. Probably be ready by the end of next week :)
  3. Top work chap. So, how much has the retrim set you back? Were the hides expensive, and was the sewing machine off ebay or summut?
  4. Ah, but isn't Yan using a VR throttle? :confused4:
  5. Oh dear, now you've done it..... :nono: Si, I totally agree about running a highly tuned car everyday (not that I have personal experience), it can cost a fortune to keep them on the road. Even just up rating brakes etc will dramitcally increase running costs for a car that DOESN'T break down :lol: Not really had any feelings about the old TT. My Mum has one, 225 facelift in Misano red, nice car, goes well, looks the part and to be fair, not a bad daily! It's much better than my daily anyway.... :(
  6. Tom, I can't find that TSW tool anywhere :( I see that you got the wheels off anyway :)
  7. Have you got any Irwins Karl? They should do the job, unless you've not got a bolt head left to get any purchase on?
  8. When I had to change the water pump on mine, I just put a piece of 2 x 4 across the bottom of the sump, undid the front engine mount and jacked it up.
  9. Block of wood on top of a jack would do it :)
  10. IIRC, there is one that runs from the RHS of the block round to the front behind the oil filter. It connect to the odd shaped T piece that connects the front top rad outlet to the pump and heat exchanger.....clear as mud....could well be blocked, they do rust like a rusty thing
  11. I second that....phat! Like the stance and wheels in the third pic too 8)
  12. What's interesting is that the fan doesn't come on that often, which given that the rad switch, rad, thermostat are all new suggests that the rad just isn't getting hot enough to warrant the fan coming on in the first place. I really think it's the sensors and/or instrument cluster giving you duff info..... ...if not then just drop a 20vt in there and be done with it ;)
  13. Jim, have you tried cleaning the pins on the sensor connectors? It could be your sesnors giving you a false reading??
  14. I'm pretty sure I've got a TSW spanner in the garage, if you are interested? Snoopy looks pretty tidy 8)
  15. Does anyone have the standard cam specs for KR, ABF and 9A. I've already got likft and duration for both, just need lobe separation etc. Can anyone help?
  16. Nice knees :lol: Looks good dude, you likely to be coming over in that to collect the hatch?
  17. Noooooo neeeeeed. Gutted. So what caused the fire, any idea?
