I've also been holding on to a secret... I'm not a 406 owner anymore... It will go to my brother, so it'll stay in the family and most tinkering will be left for me, but still... I, myself am driving a highly flammable car(you Brits should know the model(not french) ;P) but it's roomier when in 5 se...

Mobile steam-wash anyone? Coolest idea in a while (on car cleaning at least)

My daughter hit a fair sized fallow deer this morning, which proved terminal for the deer and none too healthy for her 307. :shock: She had Mrs Doggy and our cavalier, Rufus on board - thankfully no one was hurt. I was a few miles in front on my way to work and turned around to help. At first glanc...

The MOT guy said that retrofit-leds are usually banned because they blink. If a halogen\normal bulb goes out, it's out and it doesn't interfere If a LED goes out, it blinks. (depends on the LED but it's easier to ban all than some.) I don't know how much truth there is but seems plausible On paper i...

Happy new year!

Did my MOT yesterday.
Passed with flying colors.

Only problem was LEDs for my licence plate...they were a bit cross with me, because it's been a year and i haven't fixed the "minor" problem
But suspension, handbrake, foot brakes, lights and gases were a-ok

Yay. Got my trip comp. enabled. Is it normal that it doesn't show current consumption when driving below 30kph? The diagnostics guy said something about programming the display itself... thinking it only applys to the type-c display? Now to change the mirrors. So i could see the outside temp also. 8)

Steve... Your cat reminded me of someone that I used to know :D Found pics of a stray cat we had @ our work place. Had her with us for 3 years :D http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/1StBadAss/17102008.jpg Loved that cat. Had to give her away when I went to the military for 8 moths. Still lives, st...

The smell of burning clutch when pulling uphill... in reverse... :P Damn...those Noranza 001 held so good... no wheel spin, only clutch burn :D http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/1StBadAss/AFF9BB9A-43C0-429D-99A5-6BDD3906A113.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/1StBadAss/73E77A25-0689-4EBC-...

I've noticed a very very small coolant loss. Also seems that the engine radiator bottom connector(partly metal with a o-ring and fixing clip) leaks. But on the inside it seems that its coming from the inner core. Seepage and darkened area on the floor mat look that way(moisture climbs up near gas pe...

Small leak me thinks... http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/1StBadAss/2ACD0846-AA46-4D99-A212-E51CB225ADE6.jpg And bought a set of winter tires :) Bridgestone Noranza 001 http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/1StBadAss/DD3A710F-10D4-4AA9-8CA0-393D79AC7828.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/...

Got a type-B from my donor car.
Doesn't show numbers tho'
Need to activate it in pp2000?

The "twin" sure looks good for that little money. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/1StBadAss/91FE1572-FAB4-46BC-9CBF-024FA894A69D.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/1StBadAss/96D85EF5-A5CD-4347-AE88-9F1F5917C254.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g55/1StBadAss/C3062AF0-38C1-4D45-BEC5-...

How about a 165/170mm mid in a closed box? I ain't going to compete in SPL events anyway .
Thought that having 4 mids in all corners and maybe tweeters too would make a huge difference already
