Do a gearbox oil change, run it for a couple hundred miles and then change again. In the meantime bleed the clutch hydraulics and check the free play at the master cylinder against the specs in manual. Systems you describe sound like syncros in which case an oil change may well help extend their...

Ignore wire gauge and look at manufacturer spec for a given wire/cable. You should be using multistrand for auto use and the number of strands can have as much or even more effect in the current capacity of a cable as it's overall gauge. Thickness of insulation also has a large bearing on...

Agree - put the bigger ones on the axle that dies the most work, on a fwd car definitely the front. Larger rear tyres tend to be fitted to high power rwd sports cars, there's also an effect where a wider rear track actually gains you grip with a narrower front end hence many sports and race cars...

Head bolts for a 2.8 tdi iveco engine as found in nissans, vauxhalls etc are the right size and pretty cheap if bought as a set, cheaper still used from someone changing them on an engine

For lightweight, security and ease of working have you considered polycarbonate sheeting. 4mm will withstand a pounding with a lump or even sledge hammer you can cut it with a jig saw. Will take paint with an appropriate primer or have it vinyl wrapped any colour you like, or chrome/carbon...

Are you looking for a 12v ignition switched feed or just an ignition switched trigger? If the latter you could take it off the back of the alternator on the wire that runs to the alternator warning light. They'll only work with the engine running that way, but do you really need them on when...

Sounds like head gasket failure between cylinder and water jacket. Have a smell if your coolant and see if you can smell exhaust fumes or get a garage to test it. Means a new hg and preferably getting the head skimmed or at very least checking for true ( side of a steel rule or other straight...

Interested, in Milton Keynes today and travelling up M6 to Manc tomorrow stopping if at Cov on way, where abouts are you?

Spring lift won't give you any more clearance over standard unless you fit massive bump stops too, only a body lift truly gives extra clearance without having to compromise suspension articulation.

About time one returned the favours!

Sold to and collected today by big bunny, hope you have as much fun with here as I did. Just drove the Quattro back from Middlesbrough, I think I'm going to like this car. 53 plate A6 2.5tdi 4 door Quattro in silver 119k (barely run in for one of these lumps) pulls like a train, 6 speed box...

I doubt I'll be doing much recovery work with the Quattro (picking it up tomorrow hopefully) or laning come to that but you never know, with a decent set of boots on smoother lanes it should be ok - you're unlikely to be able to keep up with that though - oh and I was taking it easy lol

In your dreams sweety :lol

As with everyone I'm looking for the best I can get for it. I figure it's worth at least £150 if I just weigh it in at the yard down the road but the wheels and tyres would get me another £250 on eBay and the rack and lights at the very least another £100 plus about the same on the suspension...

Ooops X plate not Y plate, could a mod please edit.

Not right now, am after a Quattro tdi IIRC the two in the front are from a coach company I used to deal with, the two in the rear roof are motorcycle cargo nets, place I got them from have now closed but available on ebay, branded Oxford, I removed the metal hooks and used black P clips to...

Known to a number on here my truck (the one in my avatar) is for sale and I am open to offers for a quick sale. It's currently situated just south of Selby and will need trailering away. I just don't have the time to do anything with it, that and I have moved away and its on the drive of my old...

Just to add I bought a pair of these and they turned up in just a few days, genuine boxed hella items - very happy with the purchase.

Am in need of the above, anyone got one or know a good place to buy them?
