Sorry guys, right I've set them both to unlisted... Here is my badly timed moment to stop and take a pic, pulled up and was about to get out and snap a pic then this happened... Also here is me playing with the KA, like I said.... I was behaving ;)

Think i've sussed it... (should be a video below this) Keep in my I had my sister and my 8 year old niece in the car so had to behave to a certain degree ;)

Most of you will remember this.... Well here we go, the 2nd time this KA has overtaken me and in the same spot! I have a video to share of after it but don't really want it in public vue... how do I make it visible to you guys? I've set it to private but if I share the link will you be able to vue it?

I'm not able to get them shipped abroad, it would cost too much now weve switched back to TNT :(. UPS didn't matter... they would send anywhere in the EU for cheap!

(double post)

I will put the footage up tomorrow for you guys to see. Will also do another vid for the other bit, you can see the difference in the car handling... Mine is smooth and planted his is all over the place.

Guess who has just over taken me again... strangely enough in the same place as last time! This time however he overtook fast AND my new camera shows my speed. Do I report him or not? I've got two lots of footage showing him driving like that. However, a bit further on I overtake him in the national speedlimit....

Just because you have sorted the alarm doesn't mean you have to stop your routine of bursting out the front door waving a bat around... ;) haha. I love takeaway runs, doing one tonight :D.

I don't know if you can view that but those cows were too cose for comfort!

Think we know what my problem is now, not gearbox but differential, which I suppose isn't much better? Spent most of the afternoon cleaning my car. Washed it, clayed then polished :). Drove around the village looking for a good place to take a picture but in the end just stopped at the side of the road! lol.

From your description only thing I can think of it the brake line anchor. Like Stants said, a picture would make things clearer.

Makes me want to check mine ;) haha

My brother in law said he would prefer to keep this car up and running for as long as possible. So he wants to recon the box unless I find a 6 speed :).

Well as tempting as it is, straight cut will probably be avoided. I'd like to go 6 speed but only one i've found has the DCCD kit, I imagine that could be a pain to fit. A recon box would probably be the choice I go for, need to have a word with my brother in law about it see if he knows anyone. Thanks for the reply Savage :)

Hello, welcome to the club!

Welcome to the club :)

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed the dreaded whine from the gearbox, It isn't really loud but I notice it. Also when under load in 3rd gear it rattles/grinds. Also last night on the way home I noticed a knock from the rear on the odd occasion when I put power down or let off which I'm going to assume is the rear diff. If it turns out to be this problem then I'm stuck on what to do.... Not seen many 6 speed gearboxes around so swapping to one of them might not be an option. Is it possible to get the gearbox reconditioned and made stronger? Any other ideas?

I'm just wondering, I'm in the large format industry. We have got 5 printers, 2 are latex and 3 are dye. We print vinyl but only stuff that can be put on boards or signs not on cars. We haven't gone towards car vinyl stuff because it's a different market to what we are after. Just interested to see what printers you use :). However once I figure out what I'm doing with my car (keeping or getting another) I will probably go with what Gambit has done and vinyl my roof ;).

BIGD, do you print the vinyl?

It's also hard to tell what age car most of the reviews are based on, here is one a guy has owned for "13 years" "The most remarkable difference was the fuel computer, which was reading around 27 mpg on the way to Milton Keynes, was now reading 35 mpg on the way back (and I was much heavier with my right foot on the return journey). The car is far smoother and quieter and has regained oodles of the torque it had lost over the 13 years I've owned it." That to me gives it a thumbs up!

Makes no difference from previous reviews I have read, most people say the first test in the add was done from cold and they other when hot so it gives massively different readings. Most people that have had it done said the engine was slightly smoother but was hard to tell. Someone had a before and after reading of emissions and they dropped very little and was hard to tell if it was from the clean or not. Who knows?

Blackpool you say.... pretty much next to me!

Has your car been running fine? That looks like the Vac line that controls the actuator for the turbo.. if it's disconnected the it's likely that turbo isn't boosting correctly.

Gonna have to clay the car, it's covered in flecks of spray paint... can't see it unless you look close and the car is rough as hell to the touch.

I tend to just tap the throttle after a few seconds and it drops the revs down to under 1k. Easiest way to get around it I guess.
