I used to use Slick in all the cars I bought,slightly improoved mpg but then again they were cars from years ago. All fords years ago when ran on the bench, ptfe was on all internal metal parts ( I dont know now though) Improovments in engines and oils might have reduced the need for additives,the mitsi I have was always serviced thru the dealer by using castrol GTX and strangely they have gone into magnatec for the last service as I complained about top end noise,they also use a petrol additive every time they service it as they never told anyone its always supposed to be run on super unleaded and if the additive is not used the engines tend to die around 60k (YIKES) :? :cry: :roll: just from carbon buildup,I think additives are ok as long as they are used every service,but not as a one off with high milage I have ran a RS turbo totally on stp with no oil at all to shut the main bearings up for a while,I fancy putting redline mt 90 ? in the gearbox if the specialist recommends it like coullstar did with his old motor.

They were 'very' rare when they came out and back then if you saw one you stared at it usually until it went out of sight as they had the awe factor. as for headgaskets Im sure someone could do a custom one somewhere... Insurance is another story :!:

God thats some damage for just hitting a fleabag,it must have been a right fat one

My alternator bracket broke on the lorry after the nut and bolt was worn and vibrating therefore causeing the belt to be thrown after it being shredded.. :| Edit:cos Im crap at spelling

I thought I saw it on Ebay as well

Bad luck

Example of the atlantic language barrier i think! funky(GB) - cool! eg " nice shoes pet, very funky 8) " funky(USA) - not cool! eg " urgh! this cheese is off, it smells funky! " I think i'll just say i like it and avoid any confusion! lets see some pics of bananamans smoooothed banana! Just dont try and bum a fag over there :-)

I dont know what the weather was like in Glasgow yesterday but there was 3 inches of rainfall up north yesterday...

Aye Get Skids Red G60 one up for a vote as his one would get mine just by the way he opened the door and closed the door on the wifes one you could tell hes very thoughtful over these getting rarer by the day cars chubbeeee

I have a Mitsubishi GDI engine in 1.8 guise and it is quite frugal mind you anything over 3,000 rpm and it drinks fuel just like any other petrol 8) it just looks like a petrol engine with a diesel fuel pump pushing in the petrol Gasoline direct injection,shame it cant be converted to LPG :mad:

Number plate surround and I suppose a price for 4 rims 15' for a set of Rm's and nuts to match :-)

How I laughed when I saw Teddy bear Ronals for the first time,in my best Irish accent 'I couldnt believe it ' :D I see just matz has rims for Rm's ;-)

I've ordered two £28 via paypal I'm also interested in a group buy of number plate surrounds. it just depends whos the cheapest ( as usual ) chubbz

Nice one I have one wiper but wait for the other one,dont come up here and use hawcos they are feckin useless still waitig 2 months for clips and they have my number too grrrrrrrr :mad: :mad:

Maybe the AA man told them it was 4 wheel drive so it couldnt be towed on a lift just a thought. chubbz

Heres hoping it was just that jim, They are into using lasers in small white vans up our way the ******************ers :cry:

Just phoned to get 2 for the wife,another thing for her car...

we used to have people trying to blow the cossies up before the warranty expired they tended to trash everything else... usually the B+W gearbox went first then the turbo ( they used to chip them and wonder why they needed competition clutches in a RS500

axle stands or if you cant afford them or cant be arsed shove the wheel under the car it would have kept it off the ground

Check radiator,check thermostat ( just remove it) and run on water and see what happens try 12 volts straight to the fan and see if it goes maybe a thermal switch ? check thermostat by putting in boiling water and see if it moves,check the ° on it to make sure it will open below boiling of course ! usually a number on the head of them.

can you get it off the ground ? at least leave the handbrake off and keep the petrol low as its a shame to run a car on gone off petrol

Bought car a year last August with 46k on it it now has 52k on it and its had 3 services :)

I drive all day with side lights on,its not to see but to be seen,its one of the first questions on an insurance claim form 'did you have your lights on' its also to be seen as you drive in wooded areas avoiding the strobing effect of the sun thru the leaves of the trees and avoiding slight blindness of seeing dark areas of the road as for corrado fog lamps they are just that FOG lamps,The driving lamp is the secondary main beam lamp. The headlight loom upgrade improoves the headlights noend any foglights just dazzle the shit out of me :roll: :x then they wonder why People leave thier row of 6 cibie oscars on just to show them what dazzle is 24volt style. I wouldnt leave the taillights on all day as Im a target for cops who think Ive either left them on or know Ive been working before dawn. but they do say to me they know they are on so I can be seen easier front and rear; chubby

Yep thats how our old boat is setup 8)

Hi all,just another dafty question....... Whats the differance between Fog and Scotch Mist ? ;-) :notworthy:
