  1. Another on just got a set of Toyo's fitted for 90 bucks. And even got a real cuppa Dickson Jim Tyres & Batteries 24, Baronhill, Cumbernauld, Glasgow, Lanarkshire G67 2SB Tel: 01236 720205
  2. Bosh Silver in mine and it by far the best battery I have put in. It actually started better than ever before. I often dont drive my car during the week or for weeks at a time and this one has never let me down.
  3. Just had mine replaced with one from a Jetta. Was either that or 170 quid plus Vat for a new one. Or at least that is what the mechanic told me. ;)
  4. It shouldnt boost at all at idle? Should it? Have you checked for a boost leak as one of your pipes may have came lose or something when they where working on the car?

    MFA Guide??

    What you driving? You get some more info on the G60
  6. The other thing is that these fuels improve fuel economy. But you tend to drive a little harder so you lose the benifit :)
  7. LOL how many use can you find for dubD 40? the list is endless :) :)
  8. At which point do you hit the reserve? Top of the read bottom of the red? Or some where else ;)
  9. Sounds about right to me check out http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17067 Would take off the pipe give it a clean and monitor how much oil is coming thru I think any more than a teaspoon and you should have it looked at. Some oil is normal. I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will correct me :) Or get a boost gauge always handy to have with a G60
  10. REV counter indeed lol
  11. I would say these are way out. You should look for an oil leak when I got my pressure guage fitted the sender unit wasnt fitted correctly and I displayed the same symptoms. It should sit at about 30 lbs when dowing around 70 (thats from memory on the VDO guages it sits at the second set of digits at 70 and first on idel) Oil temp on a nice cold day should sit between 95 and 110 at 70 on the motorway. But this will be influenced by outside temp etc. I'll check out the pressure when I go out later. What OIL temp is the MFA displaying and are you taking them from the same source? HTH
  12. the bhp limit seems like a strange one to me in that it would be difficult to prove in certain circumstances if you see what I mean or am I missing something ?
  13. I'm not following how could it help radio interference?
  14. Could it be for the heated washer jets i.e. same reason you have an earth on a plug? Also does anyone have a part number for this I just noticed mine has gone as well?
  15. 01792650933 Spoke to John today very friendly but couldnt match the price I got and advised me to take the other policy with agreed value you cant ask for more from someone in insurance sales honesty!!!
  16. They seem to have hit the same problems all other voluntary organisations suffer from. In that they depend on the time and dedication of a few individuals i.e. the club members and especially the regional hosts and all the people who deal with the club as a whole chairperson etc. I never received my membership last year. The cheque was not cashed so guess it was lost in the post. The other problem the club has with national events is the location. Being a Scottish member Woburn was just to far to travel for one day. It really boils down to how much the members put in to what they get out.
  17. http://www.123stickers.com/ heres a us company 16 bucks
  18. http://www.websticker.com do a group buy or ask the person who does the forum stickers if they can do one or where they get them. I think you will hit the not for a one off problem :(
  19. lmao :lol: I think i will give that a try

    Good thinking push them see if it changes. This is a bit of a long shot. But disconnect you battery and see if it resets it may just have jammed (very long shot but nothing ventured nothing gained)

    Does the switch gear work? If you flick it from 1 to 2 does this change to the left of the clock? It should say MFA 1 or 2 cant recall. Funny you look at it everyday and i cant get it clear in my head
  22. You might be surprised what your car will put out mines done well over that every time its been on the rollers(3 times now). As for the intercooler do it on a cold day :D not a penny spent ;)
