he said the mechanic already replaced the membrane on the back door, thats why i said check the front

there are rear sun roof drains, but also, check the front door for water getting in. both via door seal and under the door card. the shape of the floor pan pushes water that gets in the front into the back.

i think a full fat Overfinch may find it way onto my soon to be extended driveway. along with an M5 touring and an exige (sunday play thing) and a fully restored and tuned up 'stang - shelby gt350 to be exact and also an old restored 50s yank truck not picky on which really, just think they were really well shaped and proportioned.

0035am.... up to resettle. 0355am.... up to resettle.... failed. bottle. back to bed 0510am. 0630am.... alarm.. off.... 0715am.... out of bed and went running. its not good when your yawning instead of breathing for the first 2k, and the rain made it extra lovely. 8.7km of misery was enough. i did finish the supersapiens challenge though look to the positives n all that

hi, the first thing you need is the bluetooth kit which is located under the driver seat. then a suitable head unit then it needs to be coded in through vcds. @Rustynuts is pretty handy with the detail on headunits etc, maybe able to offer better help than me

its surely the ecu mileage... given talking to the ecu is the whole point of the obd2 interface

i always have a smile to myself when i see a mk1 octy still on the road, esp if its been kept looking pretty well. as i know what it can do and what its probably been through they are getting rarer and rarer mostly due to easily fixable NCT (MOT) failures.

i like my running. i like getting out and the feeling of accomplishing something. i dislike getting up really early in the morning to do it. i hate getting up after a broken nights sleep courtesy of what i believe is an evolutionary oversight - the growing of teeth. anyway, i dragged my sleep deprived head out of bed and went running. went the tow path again, but added on a bit at the start to bring it up to a 10k. ive also noticed im getting pains in my knees since i swapped to my new asics trainers... not good, hope its just while they soften in.

im gonna say no, as the overall front suuspension on diesels is completely different to the vrs. eg droplinks are only about 4inches long on the diesel compared about a foot on the vrs

imperial or US gallons? i paid €1.189/litre yesterday for a tank of diesel, about $6.53 / imp gallon going by xe.com just now...

@DeanVRS20VT might delete one of the posts, to help confusion.. assuming you arent accidentally pulling out the switch to turn them on with regular lights.. check the wiring to the light clusters, in particular under the cd changer's home as this are can get wet if the windscreen washer hose separates and cause electrrical gremlins

im not sure tbh, do they part numbers match?

look what turned up today... just flicked it in for a quick test, with the 10mm eyepiece i can more detail in the neighbours roof slates than if i was standing on them.. so the magnification is now 400/10 x 3 = x120. bit of good "seeing" this evening for a moon test would be nice..

thanks. my rivnuts arrived last friday and my new regulator panel arrived today just need to get a pack of m6 bolts and then a few hrs to go and do the nasty...

subsidiary systems start to get shutdown by the ecu as the battery starts to lose life. its probably locking okay as it has a decent charge after a drive, but the slow drain is putting it into a sleepy state. if the Excide battery is the right size and strength for your car then its going to be fine.

yet another 2am wake up cry... and then he woke up 2mins before my alarm was set! so i left for my 10k an hr later than usual. it was more of the horrible damp cold. my legs necer warmed up, just ached the whole time. slowed me down kind of aching.. i think they felt the extra 1.5km hilly section from yesterday a bit more than i realised. and the recent lack of sleep is starting to catch up on me too.... any way i got through it and eventually warmed up. rest day tomorrow... hoping we avoid the blizzards forecast for the end of the week... really dont fancy running in that.

drop the sump and clear the pick up pipe, its likely blocked - common enough problem. if its clear and clean then the pump may be gone, but that its only doing it on heavy load i reckon your pickup pipe is a good starting place.
