The only thing those cameras should is catch the lane hoggers! Effing hate them!

Every summer I do just under 2k miles 1 way. 1270 to Hungary (21-23 hrs), and over 700 miles to Greece. The worst part of the journey are the roadworks in the middle of Germany. Good for fuel economy but drive me nuts. 50 mph! They've been going on for the past 3 years .

Any updates on this?

Any means to fleece the motorist!!!

The cartridge/turbo MUST be balanced after the rebuild! So I don't think this option is viable mate!

Centre housing rotating assembly, or cartridge .

I had a similar problem to yours. Changed only the chra it was about £100 off fleabay. Its been ok in the 10k I've done so far.

Alien influence me thinks!!!

Man, is there anything you won't do to your cars? You're a legend!

What lumens should a good bulb have? And should it be a 4300k or a 500k? Cheers

You must be chuffed now

Fresh gearbox oil?

Just wanted to wish everyone on here a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

2 years and 30k miles later the J&R cv joint and boot still going strong. You get 2 years warranty with them anyway. And you get the bolt in the kit as well, as it's a stretch bolt. The torque on it is mega though.

Happy Xmas to all!

Holophyte, don't you mean: from full to empty?

My money is on the stat too!!!

Might be the microswitch!!! Just check that first, and spray some wd40 on the ms contacts first before you buy a new motor mate.

You need the part number. On ebay they range between £50-60. Try gsf or ecp first though.

I had the same problem. Turned out it was the bootlock rubber seal was not sitting correctly. Put a bit of sealant around it and it'll be ok.

I got the seal from gsf for under e tenner in the summer. Victor Reinz brand.

Tesco fuel gives me around 620 miles to a tank. Esso gives me a minimum of 670! Mine is a awx 130 bhp with 139k on the clock serviced every 7-8 thousand miles.

The viscous fan runs has nothing to do with that sensor mate. If the speed of the fan is constant or if you can't stop the fan with your hand while engine is running, then the fan coupler is faulty. Don't spend your money on that sensor!

Its a lhd guys, it can be exported to Europe! That's why its that much. Not that a rhd can't be exported but a lhd would be very conveniently re-registered in mainland Europe!

I used L shaped allen keys for those 2.
