Hi guys, I am putting together another one of the Essex laning days but this time I think we are going to venture a bit more north/west than we usually do so I am after some advice on where is good to go. I am sure you realise that I am not after how to find lanes or how to drive responsibly, I...

Nope, this is the one we was in: Halfway - Brecon Becons : Contemporary Holiday Cottage, stream, forest , views | HomeAway Heres the discussion we had in the Essex Lanes thread, have a read as we discussed various options http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f13/essex-lanes-70807-940.html

PM wickford90 on here, we recently went and rented a cottage that took 10-12 people I believe, it was beautiful, right in the middle of nowhere and wasnt expensive (think it was £500 for 4 days). It was in llandovery so is in a good location...

I was hoping to sort one out for the 2nd of june, I am struggling to sort a route out though as been very busy at work but im sure we can figure something out, is that weekend good with people or maybe the one after? Sounds interesting, I have been watching the classics section on eBay and...

Ok, let me re-word that, the catalyst works at a higher temp then the rest of the exhaust system, it gets this temperature gain from being close to the combustion chamber coupled with the burning of excess fuel that occurs in the cat. which allows it to burn of excess hydrocarbons, the use of...

remember that if your moving the plate then you need to move the light as well ;)

Number plate should be clearly visible so yes, its illegal but you would have to have found the biggest arsehole of a copper to pull you on it. May get mentioned MOT time though...

A leak back test determines how efficient an injector is i.e. how much fuel is getting squirted with each squirt. A faulty injector will affect your starting so its commonly used to test that but it will also help find a faulty injector, its not exclusively for poor starting issues. The test...

Have a google search, loads of info, it can be done but is not a simple bolt on job. When you remove your 200 front end sell it as its worth a few quid, lots of people fit it in place of the 300 front end which falls apart with the slightest puddle splashing on it!

I bought a SKIL version about 5 years ago, its permanently attached to one of the workshop benches and is used daily, never had an issue with it and it came with all the flexi extensions and bits you need, cost about £20. This is the one I got:

The reason I said to try it is often the pumps have been turned up a bit already, if he is getting poor MPG this may be worth looking into to, your right that less power doesn't mean more MPG but these pumps are so easy to get a few more MPG out of with correct tuning, its not just the spindle...

+1 I use MM on my iPad, very easy to setup, don't need a PC to do it, just the app and I think its good VFM, £25 for 25,000 sq/km or something like that, I got the whole of east Anglia, sailsbury and mid/south wales out of it. Get a screen mount and its ideal as you can see in this video...

Don't use cheap petrol station crap, go to a local garage and get some FORTE stuff (only sells to the trade), it is miles better than anything else. After that you could wind the pump back a bit, will result in a drop in power but will give better MPG. Also check the IC for damage, fins...

QFT Modern diesels, whilst very efficient, are fooking expensive when they go wrong and they go really wrong. The slightest bit of **** in the fuel and its new pump/injectors/fuel lines at a rough cost of £2K and that's a common issue, high pressure pumps at £600-1000 a pop, even the...

This /\ /\ /\ DPF and a cat is 2 different things, a diesel cat is still a cat, it works by having a heat retaining surface (usually ceramic) which remains at a higher than exhaust gas temperature, this acts as a catalyst and helps to burn off unburnt hydrocarbons making a cleaner exhaust gas...

People on eBay are idiots, they think it must be a bargain. I sold an inflatable for towing behind a speedboat a few years back, I sold it on an auction for about £70, they were available brand new for £50 and must have come up in the searches but someone got carried away with the bids and paid...

I had De Carbon shocks, never had any issues, stood up to everything well and still going strong...

It cant be used in the engine bay as the air coolers run at quite a high temperature, you need the specific stuff for that but I did find with all the panels done inside I couldn't hear the engine, a few times I found myself pulling away to either maximum revs or stalling, sometimes the engine...

Yes and no, it depends on the tester, any increase in noise levels above that of a standard system is technically a failure but its down to the testers opinion...

Not that I know of but I reckon you could get one made easy enough... The sound is awesome once you take them all out, this was my 200TDi with a straight through exhaust: Dunmow ford, 30-12-12 EMM laning day - YouTube
