    I'll be there to get my VR on the strip for the first time in two years :-D as well as Jim I think DLea is also out.

    No, Tony, NO!! how literal do you want your new name to be?

    over two and a half thousand pounds for a set of leads seemed expensive so I've edited you post to make them cheaper.

    I belive not (one of the things I asked him last time I saw him)

    no worries, that's better than starting a new one as everything is all in one place

    Currys. but they are also available from PC World and Dixons. Advent is their group brand. Down side is no optical drive, so you will need all your music as MP3s already and barely over 2hr battery life with the stock 3 cell one. rumours are for a 6cell version to be available soon. Pros. small & light but with a near full size keyboard. works effortlessly with an external monitor. Last night I had it playing DivX movies on my 19" wides screen whilst using the small inbuilt screen to surf. Runs XP which is a good or bad thing depending on your view.

    no recommendations. but I have just brought an Advent 4211 Netbook which does what I want and was only £280. what do you want it to do? As for insurance, a laptop of that price should be covered by your normal household contents insurance. extended guarantees are a rip as well. should come with a 1 or even 2 year manufacturers guarantee and frankly if it breaks after that buy a new one. they'll be half the price or twice the power - Moores law

    A quick look at Ekta has it listed as series resistor for the mythical EDS system ( low speed traction control ) but doesn't show how it is attached.
  11. thegoth
    with connecting wires that short there aren't a lot of places it will reach / fit, so I think you are right. but how to reattach it once the heads of the rivets have come off is a whole different question!
  12. thegoth
    I think a more technical term is a load resistor. mine is loose as well. think it was riveted on and the circular feature you can just see by the bottom left of the resistor is one anchor point.

    LOL, it was to mark boundary between us and them ;-) JPs budget turbo got a lot of attention.
  14. thegoth
    Just a handful. Do they do these is a cabriolet? With a VR lump??
  15. thegoth
    what colour cap have you got. the older black ones are notorious for failing and leaking.
  16. thegoth
    you should know more than most ;-) My O level chemistry has me thinking that N2O isn't in itself flammable, Nitrogen being inert.
  17. thegoth
    from what I heard today, yep. limit is 95dB.
  18. thegoth
    from experience the getting there is likely to take more of a toll.

    there is a 4 stage sequence listed in a small haynes guide available via this thread: http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?151642 a small diagram at the bottom shows the order. no 1 being theo ne bang in the middle

    at the end of the day it's the wheel power that actually 'gets you there' but the garage might be grateful to find out that there is something wrong in their new set up, or at least how they are using it ;-) though to be honest I'm surprised they didn't realise on the day as a 17bhp loss is so wrong.
  22. thegoth
    I'd say so. yep, from my limited knowledge anyway no it's measured by the rollers. when the car is in neutral it at least should be ;-)
  23. thegoth
    rest assured, 140 at the wheels is about right 17.6 for the transmission lose looks very wrong, usually more like 40-50. giving a flywheel total of 180-190 torque maybe a bit low which I'd credit to the exhaust.

    my top three would be: coil pack - very similar to the symptoms I had with a dodgy coil / final stage amplifier. Check for cracks lamda sensor - as suggested in this thread http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?185177 lazy lifter(s) - not working properly until the oil has thinned. mentioned in above thread as well. how long has it been doing it?
  25. thegoth
    good luck mate.
