  1. Very Nice Indeed ... Top job there Almost looks as good as Mine Dean
  2. You would like to say that it is/was a good innings ... Although as you state some carry on much longer .. But i think 132k is not bad ... Plus Longevity can be affected by many things .. Not just service intervals .. Lots of stop start journeys will shorten the lifespan Etc. So many other factors could be a cause !! Something may of got sucked in & or come loose & become embedded in the Turbo causing the Failure .. It has been known ...... Trouble is also.. depending on the type of failure, The Turbo may not be the only item that needs replacing .. if The impeller Vanes have broken up & travelled around the Cars internals .. Well, you can imagine .... Dean
  3. In the 1st Pic, I thought you had got a screw driver stuck in there Dean
  4. Clutches go one of Three ways.. Slippage Gear Selection issues - Sticking/Grinding (No Slippage) & Bang .. No drive what so ever Dean I would try the Cheapest option 1st .. After all, If you do it yourself & still it does it, you have only lost some time & the price of the parts ... The Linkage/Cables have not become Mis-Adjusted have they ??
  5. That sort of Thing really P!sse's me off ... You try & look after something & take pride in it & some little (& sometimes not so little) Scrotes try to wreck it .... I really hope that the Day they grow up & earn something nice that the same happens & see how they feel Bu66er springs to mind :( Dean
  6. I don't wish to post Doom & Gloom ... But when a clutch is coming to the ends of it's life .. 1st & Reverse are generally the first ones to complain & Grumble ...... Dean

  13. You are a Psychic Can i have tonights winning lottery numbers please whilst you are on a Roll I need to price them up 1st .. Hopefully they won't be too much & therefore it wont matter if it is a fail !!!! Im worried it might look like a Storm Drain .. Cheers Dean
  14. Cheers All The Top Mounts are almost as much as the AP Coilovers Some intersting items here ... Top Mounts Dean
  15. Never Mind Surf Mobile .. Cruise - Drag Mobile Hilux Diff may slow the Topend a little , But the Noise & acceleration .. Should be Fun ... So we will be seeing some Pics & a Vid in 2 Weeks ? No time to post on here .. Get to it Dean
  16. With my car being lowered on Coilovers the front Tyres are scrubbing after a few thousand Miles on the inside edge , tracking & alignment is Ok.. But due to the lowering effect the camber on the front wishbones has increased & i am suffering the tyre wear effects .. So can you get adjustable top mounts ?? Or has anybody tackled this is some other form ?? Cheers Dean
  17. So im thinking that i would like to get rid of the Mesh on my front Bumper & go for the Plastic Slats Style ... But do you think it would be Too Much ?? Using a couple of the front lower grills to infill Lower Grill in Mind Car It Looks good on the Audi's .. but they go from Side to side & up Etc & efectively fill the whole of the front Anybody have some alternatives, I don't think i could Mod the Audi grill to go in there Dean
