  1. Still running two belts, it's a double pulley but solid without the bearing, but it's..... Oh So Much Quieter! :lol: 8)
  2. 9a pulley fits straight on the noise reduction is simply glorious!!!! You can put a solid water pump pulley Part.no. V027 121 031 on any 4 cyl engine, it works and I've had no problems in 2 years on my KR 8) Edit: Thinking about it I have had some squeakings recently, and I've just realised i hadn't read the previous post correctly - got me going now. I think I stitched meself up....... :scratch: :gag:
  3. That one in the pic doesn't look mint at all you can see white bits on the red that ain't camera flash etc. :roll: Joke price
  4. That's a superb find, especially if you're happy to do it yourself!! Top work! 8)
  5. Could just be the locking mech is sticky, lashings of WD40 or similar and some excercising may help. You can undo the two big bolts holding the lock to the door and partially remove it enough to get a good squirt in there.
  6. my valver's done 191k, 122k of them are mine in 12'n'half years 8)
  7. Love the orange colour paint work in the BBC vid :luvlove:
  8. I was gonna say I just ordered a 90amp alternator through B&B Components in Maidstone and all I had to do was swap the pulley.
  9. Extreme +80% H4s and Nightbreaker +90% H3s, award winners in Autotest at the time. Very pleased, have an old upgraded loom and recently fitted Lamin-X in the Optic Blue flavour which really whitens the light output further 8) 8) 8)
  10. You can put a solid water pump pulley Part.no. V027 121 031 on any 4 cyl engine, it works and I've had no problems in 2 years on my KR 8) Sooooo much quieter you wish you'd done it years ago!!!
  11. I've posted the question on Talk Audio forum mate, see what happens there!! 8)
  12. I'll add it to my list!! I'll need to run it through in my head a few times to make sure I don't miss anything!!

    Can he trust the gauge????? I seem to get about a 10 deg difference between Coolant (lower) and Oil (higher) temps. Does sound like a problem though.
  14. What exactly is required for that then VR6? I should be able to sort something :D Could do with some better pics but i can always 'whip it out' and snap some more. :camp: :lol:
  15. It's a legal and above board, there are regulations for tinting which this stuff meets, but I've gone for the blue on the headlamps (which still looks a bit weird :lol: ) because it really does improve the colour for night driving 8) 8)
  16. I never did confirm it but this all worked a treat and still does!! :lol: 8)
  17. Yeah the later sunny switch etc is a good one to change, you can do it with just a late motor and cover/switch/light unit and loom but you have to chop the motor a bit or go the whole late roof assembly. I've had no roof issues so just chopped the motor, still works a treat - can put up some pics later if you like or i'll find my old thread! Edit HERE it is 8) Edit: You'll also need a later bit of trim to go around the sunroof aperture as the motor cover is a slightly different design - see below! Late cover - early trim!

  18. Clicky HERE for pics of switch internals, mind the springs!! 8)
  19. Why would you want a wafer-thin skinned euro/jap box with dodgy brakes and sticky electronic throttles!! :camp: 193k and loving it, daily driver for the last 12 years.
  20. 8) 8) Ha ha only 7 years to finally get spotted!!!!! :clap: :wave:
  21. No. The early switches are smaller than the later ones. The are not as wide. When used in a later dash they do not clip into place like the later ones. They just flap about in the dash. Sorry if some of my switch info was a bit wide of the mark - every day's a school day!! 8)
  22. I did realise the bloke wasn't the actual drink-driver but it is a problem and if they'd got a taxi home none of this discussion would be going on. I agree his actual charge of 'drink driving' does seem to go against common sense with him being a passenger, surely they could have charged him with something else that was more appropriate but serious enough to warrent punishment? Who knows?
