Anyone who's tensioner pulley is squealing - be wary, mine started to squeal a little on Sunday after a fast run (don't ask how fast!!), so i thought i'll get the bearing and replace it. Called in at BSL in Bolton on Monday, but they operate a minimum order policy of £25.00, so i left empty handed, thinking i'll pick one up elsewhere before weekend. Driving home tonight, the tensioner pulley has shattered; luckily the belt stayed on so i just about managed to limp home. look's like I'll have to buy the complete tensioner assembly now... So, if your tensioner squeals a little - fix it before it breaks...

Sounds good - count me in!

A couple of cars that I missed out on when looking for my 'rado a couple of years ago. One may look familiar to some on here, ex PVW feature car. Are these 2 cars still around??

Amusing for a Saturday morning... http://www.donkeydoesf1.co.uk/ (hope the link works, first one i've ever tried posting..)

Deffinitely the problem. As Kevhaywire said earlier, you settle the bearing and then back the nut off slightly. Plus, packing too much grease in there is the wrong thing to do and can cause problems, so don't over do it when you replace the bearings.

burgundy (i think?) C on regent road in Salford about 4 o'clock, heading into Manchester?

18" are too big for a 'rado, IMHO. the ride will deteriorate as well due to the low profile you will need to run on. I'd say 17" is maximum.

Hmm, seem to have gone a little off topic here...is there any good reason why NOT to reset the ECU? Has anyone found that the car runs worse or even won't start at all after ECU reset??

major problem - I only have coffee experience - am I at risk of completely "Caffeine Overdose" of my ECU then?

how do you reset the ECU on a VR6? Are there any risks to it?

What speed was the braking from? Pic looks awesome..

Not many who would give time for free...

Fitted the suspension myself, run for about 40 miles to allow everything to settle down, then took it to Awesome GTI for rear bushes & wheel alignment - heard that the bushes are a swine to fit...

Koni top adjustables now fitted, new top mounts all round; new rear axle bushes and wheel alignment carried out today..what a difference, feels like a new car and corners like it's on rails..

I've received a response from my email, saying they have already arranged the shoot with someone and if it's ok, van he retain my details for future use... Who knows, a 'rado on Corrie??
