  8. one of the ones i used to use at first was ephotozine it allows you to add pictures and then people give you comments on how to improve it there is also monthly tasks and ideas and you can view others portfolios for ideas and there are plenty of tips and people ready to give help, havent used it in at least a year myself now so not sure if its the same but i enjoyed it at the time there is also picturesocial that i was told was good but never really used it myself i just go out and expiremnt on my own now and play till i get results i want.
  9. quick search found this many others are not fans either say its to thin and can burn off and escape to easily and a thicker oil is better

  11. yeah i use castrol edge and does the job perfectly in my opinion many people will suggest others its down to preference just use a good brand and stear clear of magnatec i have been told before.
  12. Where i am small village we get the police send us things like this, (one from a couple of weeks ago) am afraid to say there have been a couple of incidents in the last couple of days. 28 Nov overnight Heath Road watch, keys for two cars and both cars were stolen. A mini and a Mercedes. 28 Nov Attempted burg Church Road approx 13:40 trying to get into utility room with resident at home. 2 males seen running away and getting into a vehicle. and Please can I remind all members to think about security around the home at this time of year - spend some time thinking about making sure that your home looks like there is someone in. If you are going to Christmas parties, having weekends away ,visiting friends or are out at work all day, set a light to come on by an automatic timer or leave a light on, ensure that your doors, windows and gates are locked and if you have an alarm fitted to your property make a point of using it. Also set the alarm when you retire to bed. Many people have this facility with their alarm, but do not use it. According to the Home Office, no force is required in as many as a fifth of burglaries because doors and windows have been left insecure. I think we have all walked down our own streets and noted who is in and who is out, because a house is left in darkness. With Christmas coming up this is the time when we will all have more items within our homes. DO NOT leave presents where they are going to be visible. If you can, perhaps store any items up in your loft, well out of the way of prying eyes. By taking just a few simple steps you can help reduce the risk of burglary. 1. Make your home safe and secure by fitting 5 lever mortice locks on external doors and for all other doors and windows fit secure locks. 2. It is most important to take extra care when locking up particularly with regard to UPVC doors. Lift the handle and lock the door with the key. 3. When you leave your property remove keys from locks and place them out of sight. 4. With the nights drawing in make your property look occupied at all times by using automatic light timers and you might want to consider installing external lighting. 5. Nowadays burglars break into properties to steal car keys so avoid leaving car keys near a door or window where and lock your car in a garage or behind a locked gate if possible. also one was telling to watch out for suspicous vans that had been reported in the area, while the reports dont help stopping the barstewards it does give you the knowledge its happening in your area even if you dont know about and any types and colours of cars to be wary of acting suspicously and thats a good start Also a few years ago had a mate that had a cerwin vega stroker 15d like myslef and he was followed all the way to lakeside from billericay we believe, he then had the speaker box and amp stolen, couple of days later another mate walks into the pub and his mates boyfriend happens to have one for sale, so appart from them being rare we still need to check it out to confirm it was his, so a few phonecalls later we arranged to meet him at his mums house i think it was well when we walked in it was like aladdins cave protected by two big dogsfor ICE equipment as soon as we saw the box we knew it was his as it was a custom box designed specifically for him and his car but still checked the serial number and it all matched told them we wanted it and would be back in 15 minutes with the cash and asked where the nearest cash machine was, well 20 minutes later we turned up with aload of coppers got all my mates stuff back after the investigation of course and propperly aload of other people got theres back as a result too.
  13. Oil pressure at 60mph in 6th should sit halfway on the dial when oil up to temp
  14. Thanks Vik, I was trying to keep the exhaust standard not really figure hunting at the moment i was wanting the remap to improve the drive and remove the restricters for my trip to the continent next year. But now obviously wanting to get the y pipe fixed so if aftermarket is cheaper than an oem i will go that route im on contact with ZMANALEX so hopefully he will sort me out if required.
  15. What with christmas and the car being booked in for a remap at abbey on friday last thi i need is to notice that the exhaust seems to be blowing from around the y-pipe are now as u have mentioned its booked in with abbey on friday for tune and remap so need to get it sorted pretty sharpish as im sure it will need to be done before then but with paying for that and christmas around the corner i really need a cheap fix till the new year if possible now i will try work out exactly where the hole is tommorrow but if it is worse case of a new pipe does any one know of a reasonably priced one as im not sure the ebay ones would arrive in time
