  1. Well...I dismantled mine today, redid the solder joints as they looked bad. No effect. I could hear the cogs moving, but not engaging somehow inside? So I decided to dismantle it further - bad idea. They have weird thin strands of copper that go to the pins, needless to say by the time I realised it was too late and I fear it's beyond saving now.
  2. No different to here.
  3. f If someone has fired nuclear weapons at us aren't we screwed anyway? Doesn't make a lot of difference to fire back other than tit for tat. I was hoping we had some kind of defence system to destroy missiles before they hit the ground? To me Piers is just stirring up public angst over a hypothetical situation that we should never end up in. (Not defending the useless sack of poo that is Dian Abbot)
  4. Has anyone actually bothered with this green sticker Emission Zone nonsense?
  5. Vote for "Pete's Party for Sanity", I have zero faith in the rest of them.
  6. I have the same problem, not had time to look into it yet. Let me know if you find a solution please! Ta.

  8. This lady struck more of a chord with me. She spots someone in need of help by the road, gets out and then another vehicle hits her. Lost her legs too. Her giving page is nearly at her $20,000 goal - https://www.gofundme.com/3osa58g
  9. LV just quoted me £300. Think I'll stick with my normal modified policy which include European cover.

    Europe

    Nonsense. They want to spank us for leaving, they'd welcome us back with welcome arms.
  11. It's quite sad, I saw the videos and can see how quickly it happened. Didn't see the yellows or understand why the stationary car hadn't pulled off track? I'm not sure what the crowd funding is all about? It's all very nice that people feel they want to chip in and everything, but I mean...motorsports are dangerous. Anyone that's done a track day has signed their life away with all the disclaimers and I get that he's had a life changing experience...but so do many other people on a daily basis. They don't get half a million quid thrown at them. What am I missing?
  12. I just got it for 50p and a pound of grapes! Oh...wait, that was The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. Who remembers what that bought Adrian?
  13. Third dash? Looks great from the small photo I can see. Makes the new steering wheel and gear knob I bought for the Tiger seem rather pathetic. I did start buying parts to make something up a bit more modern than the crappy switch gear that came in my kit...I have some nice black aircraft style hoop dividers in a bag. So many projects, so little time.
  14. How have we not got anything relating to Dragonball 2016 in the multimedia section?
  15. The "fields" harness is worth a few bob alone. I forget connector wise how they differ across Supra types, I know VVTi ECU has different connectors.

    Flights

    Just be thankful if don't get dragged out of the seat by your ears and beaten unconscious.
  17. I have this currently. Everything checked out - I've narrowed it down to the bump stop rubbing on the shaft.
  18. Not necessarily, but people do recommend it. I didn't bother, but do have an AFR garage to keep an eye on the fuelling. It always screams off the dial RIIIICCCCHHH! at FOT OP, read this: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?94705-BPU-(Basic-Performance-Upgrade)
  19. This is what I was elluding to.
  20. How do you figure that? Unit 49 did mine windows out, some restoration work and other bits recently and I'm very happy with the results. https://www.facebook.com/Unitfortynine Scroll down his page and you'll see mine and two other Supras.
  21. ...and mine's still in a barn 20 miles away, but the MX5 isn't so I'm expecting the sun to be out! Almost a shame the Tiger isn't taxed yet, but I've got a rad to change in that first.
