Gambit

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C If we can help at all we will. I will have a word with the owner see if we can get something posted on our FB and Twitter. We have had success in the past with a wedding car and tracking down one guys car that had been written off :( So you never know :)

Works fine for me Are you on windows 8 using IE ? If you are the top of where you type there is a light switch looking emblem hit that paste and flick it back and post should work.

Handy having them local and not a bad price at all or could look at another 2nd hand turbo seen plenty getting sold recently but least if you get it sorted locally you know it's all been done and should last.

Nope me neither. I don't recognize it at all :(

Good move that mate :D might even be something easy to fix ;) Have to let us know when you get chance to have a look I'm interested to see if you got a steal or a project :)

If I had the money and was looking for one for my collection ( I can dream) It's the only thing that would put me off otherwise I'd I would have looked for the blue I think.

No slagging people's car on here mate :) And the last time I remember seeing smiles on a car was on a done up XR2 was all in black with a monster energy green with the same colour smiles on the spotties. God that was many years ago now I remember I always wanted that car :D

Nice £250 hell I'd have bought it for that and had it brought back on a flatbed if needed too bargain :D Least you have something to look forward to coming home.... Other than the Wife of course ;)

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Good list of mods planned there I like it :D As for the clutch I couldn't give you any tips sorry I'm sure someone on here can thought plenty of members that repair and do there own for pleasure or as a living.

I wouldn't drive on it being bad if you can help it with it making the mixture bad will soon damage other parts. But I did drive around on mine for about a month and had no issue with it after that occurred. But it will get to a point it will cut out on you when you approach traffic lights round about. I even had it cut out on me going round a corner a few times that kills the power steering thats fun :D But sooner the better really could try a 2nd hand one you might get lucky but with anything like that run a risk it might be bad also.

I'd say the drop in revs is down to a faulty MAFS almost sure of that. So would say that needs a new one, but could try clean it but has never worked for me :( the smoke I guess could because of the MAF making it mix wrong I'd say that is bring on 45 at least but would start with that rest the codes and see what codes come back

Possible timing belt issue I would check the coolant see if it's drained or has mixed, and look under the oil cap see if it looks bad you will notice if it's bad be like mayo mustard. Be better to check the smoke in the day really under street lights at night is hard to get a true colour of what the smoke is. It might be a bluish colour but would white at night if you get what I mean. :) And have you done any mods like a full through exhaust and not remapped it ?

UPDATE First time F1 legend's condition has been described as stable and non critical since the accident that led to an induced coma On the mend: Michael SchumacherOn the mend: Michael SchumacherGetty Michael Schumacher’s condition was yesterday described as “stable” for the first time – without the rider “critical”. But spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said the F1 legend , 45, was still in an induced coma in Grenoble, southeast France, after hitting his head while skiing on December 29. Earlier, rumours were rife in German sporting circles that the seven-times world champion may not recover from the brain injury, which he sustained in the Alpine resort of Meribel. But Ms Kehm said claims from anyone but Schumacher’s doctors or management were “pure speculation”. She insisted medics had the full support of Schumacher’s family’s about his treatment and added: “Michael’s family is very happy and confident with the work of the team of doctors treating Michael. “They trust them completely. Michael’s condition is still considered as stable.”

Cheers mate fantastic deals as always :)

I'd be tempted to risk them they're only plastic ones aren't they ? and if they're cheap enough.

Yeah it was Fleebay well he should have been back yesterday I was tempted to message him asking if he had sent it today seeing as he could have posted it last weekend I don't hold much hope. :( But you never know.

I would have said rear diff if it had been in 1st without the handbrake being fully released but for 2nd gear only and at the rear I'm not sure, but would say rear diff just letting you know it;s there. I'd keep driving it mate see how it goes might just have been one of them noises maybe a stone come loose and flicked up made a thud sound.

Nope don't know this one at all. The guy at the bottom look's like a guy I used to work with if that helps :D

I've never done the walk of shame I've either been fast asleep still or too drunk to really care so had no shame :D

Glad to have you back mate. I knew the addiction would kick in again before long :D And how the hell did he warp disc's in less than 500 miles I didn't think it was possible. :( and shame about the turbo but if your quids in even with needing to fix it it's good news all round :D Welcome home ;)

Nice one mate will boot up in a bit see if you have sent it out.

2nd matt with the colour it's not for me but sure some people like it. And I also agree more than I would pay maybe 1k for each 1000 miles. But is nice clean car :)

They not on here so if you give them a ring or do use them be sure to say we sent you. I'm also not to sure how close you are to them, but for years these have been popular http://www.slowboy-racing.co.uk/ Unit 28 Blue chalet industrial park Kent TN15 6BQ Tel; 07782 106604 email; [email protected]

I couldn't tell you mate I use tie wraps if anything comes a bit loose if I can't find a replacement ;)
