I'm on 121k now- so that's 10k miles on the Ronbox since I bought the car 4 months back. Yesterday I played with the Ronbox settings, but I still think the 10 setting is best for me as I pootle around normally, but like to have power when I overtake or climb hills so up the rev range is ideal...

What you don't want is water getting in the alternator, but it should be ok in puddles. What you also don't want is water getting in the drivebelt tensioner and idler bearings. They are a real ****e to change....

Yes they are ok. I used Mr Muscle foaming oven cleaner and it didn't work. I used dishwasher powder and it didn't work. I used petrol... and finally it worked very well! Use a bottle brush but expect LOTS of high staining black spray everywhere. Just don;t lose the little rubber spacers where...

Spoilers and that kind of stuff are regularly glued on with it and they don't come off. It's bloody strong...

Believe me- you DON'T want to come back to see Boscombe! 10 years ago it was the heroin capital of the south coast and I don't think it has got any better. :(

My 2004 has the wiring in the console.

Where would you draw the power from?

Crikey... I've just recorded 39.6mpg and I thought that was shocking! My worst yet!! But it did involve cruising around looking at houses in Newport, and being parked up at the Baneswell Express while I bought some booze, so someone probably stole some. Normally I get 42mpg at this time of year...

I'm planning on moving to ****-cheap-Wales from this ****hole called Bournemouth. I was born here (Christchurch) but been away for years and the hometown I knew and loved has long gone. Wish I'd never come back :( Anyway, I'd fit the switch and fuses etc first, then when the windscreen...

Ok, I'm just thinking aloud, but why not just glue them on with Tiger Bond, Silkaflex or whatever it's called...?

I used that stuff on my old MX5 at about 240k miles and it certainly worked. But occasionally it would tap again for a while. Didn't do any harm as it's still being ragged years later.

I would have thought that paying to swap the tyres over would be cheaper than buying spacers, and it keeps the right wheels on the right car. Spacers are a mod as well...

Not bad result considering the crappy paintjob they have! I used to get a mirror finish on my 98BMW cab with really sharp reflected edges due to the good flat paint.

Would also help if the bigger picture was addressed such as stopping the obsession by local councils in CREATING congestion points to 'slow us down'. Then charging us for the congestion....

Wow, that's a rather extreme suppository.... :eek:

A 1968 Series 3? Oh really...?

Looks like a good 'un. As far as the lights are concerned, I have Phillips +100% Extreme Visons in the dipped and Osram Rallye 65w in the main beam and it's MUCH better- very good on dark country roads. I also have good LED sidelights which are normally sufficient for daytime use. Have you...

I would normally recommend an injector cleaner that would be added neat to the fuel filter, but that's a bit hard to do on the TD4 I gather.

Mmm.. so would I to be honest. I can't see the belt flapping about either.

Agreed. I believe a 2wd version of the FL2 was being flogged for those who like the look but don't need the 4x4.
