Bit of T-cut will do it. In all seriousness that is ridiculous. Wonder what happened to do that to a piston!!!

...with baited breath...

Welcome to the site. What equipment any post processing was used for that first shot? Cheers Dave

That is superb. In your situation with my current insurer in the UK (Admiral) I'd be getting a 1.1 nissan micra or similar.

Without wanting to **** anyone off. Oversensitivity is an interesting thing. The leader of a cult died. It often happens. People have their right to respect him. I respect what he did as one of the greatest PR minds capitalism has ever seen. But people also have the right to say "Seriously, he's not all that". People still call Micheal Jackson a paedo since he died. Surely people can still say "Meh, I don't get Macs" now Jobs has gone. The only possible argument can be that it's too soon. In which case state your views but no need to act like children about it. I personally don't like putting people up on pedestals, so as such don't see why today is any different to yesterday in terms of stating your opinion on the man. Last of all. Did anyone on here know Steve personally? I doubt it. If you did then you have every right to take things more personally and I very much offer my sympathies for your loss. But assuming not: Why do you care? It's not like anyone's views one way or the other are going to impact Apple or Jobs' family? Or is it all just because it's oh so easy to get super heated on an internet forum in a way you wouldn't in real life... This is just my opinion, and without any specific pointed sightings at any particular individual. Dave

Well hello there!

Well. You break cars. Can you not quote stu happy for an engine? 1000 supplied sounds like a good way to introduce yourself to the forum :)

Mark I PMed you about getting Abbey to fit a new clutch chap. Can you drop me a reply when you get a chance. Cheers Dave

My bite is about an inch from the top of the clutch and frankly I know that means I've got a few months left in it at most. Just one of those things.. If there's a manual adjustment I can do it might eek some more life out though..

German insurance seems to actually be worthwhile, unlike the UK. Here it's written off if over 50% cost, and there's no discussion to be had. Furthermore the mere presence of an SC would mean they spent an additional 7 days trying to find an undeclared lug nut somewhere on the vehicle so that they could refuse to pay out at all. Hopefully you get a good resolution to your situation.

I need to buy some better pliers I think. I just couldn't do it with the ones I had, the teeth wouldn't grip the spindle sufficiently. I'm sure it'd go though. It's awkward as HELL to get down there and kills your back but with that guide it's not at all difficult to see what you need to do.

Great price.. nicely done :)

So then. I'm planning to run 225/45/17 on the front and 245/45/17 on the rear. This is a difference of 2.8%. The stock 18s I'm on now on the other hand are 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 which is 2.7% difference front to back. Should therefore be fine Many thanks for putting up with me as I flogged the dead horse back there, by the way.

Thanks Chris. That's exactly the answer I needed ps. sig changed. hehe.

Sorry to hammer the point... but I still want to know what the allowable speed differential % is without kicking out the system front and back. I'll go 245/50 on the rear: That's fine. I just don't want to go to that and still have an issue :)

Because I can't be bothered to change it. Also I still own the BM not that I tend to drive it with the Zed sat around

I would also like to know this.

Bad times. Sorry to hear about your troubles mate.

In the context of both this and any other conversation, I wholeheartedly agree.

Why ON EARTH would they think this was a good idea. Who the f*ck agreed to this? Someone gonna get a hurt real bad.

245/50 on the rear then... Not too bad, I can get some of those khumo jobbers. Not quite as good as the vredesteins but I've heard very promising things about them nonetheless. So dooes anyone know what the "rules" are about the TCS/CC system and tyre choices? IE max % speed difference without error from spec, etc etc.

someone must know?

It seems I've sparked some kind of greater debate!! lol

If you sign up for giffgaff through quidco then they give you a load of money for doing so. (i did it last week!) Not really "loads of money": But better than a slap in the face I'll grant you.

yeah. if my numbers are normal I'm not moaning. I knew what I was getting into. I've just seen some people saying they struggle to get it BELOW 23/24 which I find ridiculous based on the numbers I've seen!
