Yes I was thinking that, the thing is I changed the green pipe just before the chassis swap was done so I had a check of said pipe and it seems OK. Thanks for the reply. Stewart.

Hi all. I'm looking for some recommendations for the best rivets to use for S3 88 door rubber seals. The couple that have survived don't look like typical "pop" rivets. TIA Regards Phil

Good, we can all rest easy, until the next time!;)

Reminds me of the bloke who bought a big engined bike despite being rather skint. He was showing it off to his mates when one of thm asked him "How many does it do to the gallon?" He said, "Dunno, never had a full gallon in it." 🤣 🤣 Having...

Thats a long while to be looking for earth cables 😊 Battery to inner wing then engine, body etc fo example, the cables will be thick black or braided, a workshop manual may help.

I'm beginning to wonder, as it started after you had the chassis work done, whether one or more of the fuel pipes has developed a tiny crack or something. There is a known place where one or more rub on chassis rails, outa sight.

My other bug bear other than the no return on thread is the ones with a problem which several of us here give good similar advice on how to sort but the still go off down their own road on what they think the issue is and coming back again with...

Possibly a daft question. Are there metal sections lining the intake pipe?

Does get one a bit peeved when there are no returns.

Again no update, so frustrating. I hope he got it sorted, l wonder what the fault was in the end. My guess would be oil contamination on the clutch, but the mechanic who replaced it should have noticed if that was the case.

He's not been back since his original post. l wonder if he bought it?

Sorn’d her. 😢 After roughly 1k miles of testing, she’ll be hibernating until I return. On the plus side, she’s only got 18 months until she’s Tax & MOT exempt. ☺️

ive never really trusted a gps speed as just about every car i had a gps unit (sat nav) in was reading around 5kph slower then the cars speedo, a isuzu truck it read around 10kph and i was like nah no way a new isuzu truck would be out 10kph. i...

i was thinking just that i did the same with some pins i had on a bonnet latch i put on my 2a, it sort of wortked a while but kept on getting caught when inserting the pin.

thats only really for the idle tune the screw if its running lean it means the main jet has an obstruction or something else, but as i said the mixture screw is only for the idle. the main running jet is fixed and cant be adjusted but changed out...

Having ceased ignoring this thread whilst on vacation. I shall now resume doing so.

Thanks for reply very helpful, think I’m going to do away with the lift and go back to original springs and shocks

I have been extremely busy all week ignoring this thread. It's been exhausting.

Yes it's worth checking that hose to the throttle body at least a couple of times a year, i have a spare just in case. This is my tool of choice to do the oil changed which is due in about 7 weeks. 1 2

Thank you, much apprechated 👍 .

A quick reminder to myself to do the Haldex in September and the Autumn oil filter and oil change.

Terrafirma rear shocks have an issue bwhere the lower stub snaps off, especially on lifter cars and without the anti-roll bars. The fronts are fine. At least thats my experience. The springs are OK (metalluricaly speaking) but the paint (as...

Nice un cool smornin. Gentle breeze. No rain int forcast this week. Tis a shame. We need some. Squirrels av bin chasing each uvva. They dun't like each uvva entering me nut feeding area despite there being enuff for all to feed.

How'd you get these clips off?

Should I do the injector seals and washers again or am I just wasting my money?

Surely they both have hairdressers in common ?

I would agree as that is my preference. But as there is already holes drilled in the wings for the separate headlight guards I would Be going guards and a-bar. @Landlover99 it may not be a cosmetic change. But I would fit a set of these: LINK...

But are you ignoring the thoughts…
