Jake, you really are a gem how you doing mate?

A 98/99 vvti manual in RSP overpriced at 12k? A bit puzzled as to why someone would put the old style indicators on. The wheels are just wrong

Unless the quality has changed over the last 2 years, the eagle rods that were fitted to both Mike B's car ( then Terrys) & mine were fine. Both engines have stock pistons. When weighed, both sets of 6 rods were all within 1gm of each other, & just over a third lighter than stock. There were no issues with fitting & the engine/s are far more responsive than with stock rods. I have done just over 35K miles with no issues, Daily driver & often hit 1.6-1.7 bar,........Risky? ...maybe. My engine has no oil loss between Changes( every 3k), & nothing apart from a little condensation water in the catch tank. But both cars were mapped by Reg Riemer using the F-con V pro, & the VVti ecu seems to keep Detonation under control . maybe this has made a difference to the longevity on our engines:shrug:

such a shame, I know you put a lot of effort into this Car will be ready next wednesday So I'll be at the next one.

If you must change it, go for the VS1.

Don't think I'll be going.....car is still at GVN

Dean not doing many mods:rlol::rlol:

I had this on mine, the bearing carrier was worn and not keeping the bearing straight on the shaft. a new carrier cured it. You can check for movement through the gearbox inspection cover. I also had the lever pivot crack & bend...the should be rplaced as well John

not very big,....80gb I will see how this goes tomorrow. At the moment it seems to be stable

can't imagine it will be dust. it's ok at the moment, just got to figure out this update question Hi Daman, would a driver issue suddenly cause this?

That's odd, I've had the sp3 update for a few weeks now & everything has been fine.

Okay.....Claire might have something here. I have run the recovery again, turned OFF updates, just updated Norton & that is running & everything seems rosy:D PC boots up fine, I can log on, everything loads as it should .....no hissy fits....so come on Claire spill the beans, which bloody update is causing this grief[ANGRY][/ANGRY]

Hi Dean.......Latkes are a bit too big to go through the vents. Chicken soup would work a treat though........which is exactly what I feel like doing with the bloody thing right now:D

Thanks Claire I'll try that first

Yes JB.......gets past the logon, it's in the middle of loading up after that it reboots. Antivirus has allways been up to date & I have regularly run scans. Hi Claire,..... I was only online to windows update. But even when I disconnected ( I allways turn off the wireless link when not online) it was ok

Thanks for the replies, Guess it's off to look for a new HDD

Says fie systen is fat 32, goes through check, finds different named files with with invalid unit allocation , then converts these lost chains to files.......says o.k & goes to logon screen.....The rest you know not a f*^&%£g clue:search: Hard disk buggered then? BUT how come when I did the recovery last night, everything worked o.k ........even after the gazillion reboots to get things loaded back on? No Dust in it anywhere.....Clean as a whistle inside

it's a Acer aspire 7000......good enough for what we use it for. Bloody typical...just about 14 months old

Thanks but can't get that far...........as it's loading up after logging on bloody thing just re-boots itself whilst loading

xp..was on service pack 3

Hi All. yesterday my laptop came up with a blue screen stating the discs needs checking,....so it does it's stuff, gets to the log on. When I have logged on, as it is loading up, has a hissy fit & goes back to the checking disc screen. Last night I tried the recovery disc, which has put everything back to factory settings everything seemed to be o.k. Just switched on this afternoon,............& it' back to disc checking again...... Help!!!!!

I don't know yet, depends on work..... I would have thought 6 p.m. ish with a bit of luck it's only a 45minute run I'll talk to Peter to find out when people really get there:)

If work allows JB. you fancy it then?

Just for your info, some of you may know pete & seen him at our events...... He's my son:) - Kiss of death for him I know!!! & a cheeky sod work permiting, I'll be there john
