  1. http://www.bmw-sport.net its still pretty young by all accounts but well built and not nazi-run
  2. I believe its in the tank and may take a couple of hours to change, depending on model/year etc. Have a look here http://www.realoem.com and you'll get an exploded diagram of the fuel system, like EKTA but online. (and free)

  4. does your camcorder have a USB streaming facility? Not all have firewire but most have USB. What make/model is the camcorder?
  5. hover over the link and look at the address, its probably something totally different to the HMRC site like http://www.bobsays.ghu.rrthgy.net if in doubt, dont click...
  6. This is a genuine Toyota Manual that I sourced from Toyota GB head office. I was told by my local dealer these manuals were impossible to get hold of, I got one. The guy at the dealers said he was hoping I didn't collect it as they wanted it for their garage, its the last one that Toyota UK had, its been thumbed through by their guys, they had no more for sale, this was their own reference copy! I no longer have a Supra and don't think i'll ever own another MKIV, i might wait till the new one comes out if I ever get another. I have held on to this manual for years as I couldn't bear to part with it after going to such lengths to get hold of it. It cost me 120 quid 5 years ago. It covers the JZA80 Supra and the chapters are as follows: 1) Clutch 2) W56 Manual Transmission 3) V160 Manual Transmission 4) Auto Transmission 5) Propeller Shaft 6) Suspension & Axle 7) Brake System 8) Steering 9) Supplemental Restraint System (airbags) 10) Body Electrical System 11) Body 12) Air Conditioning System 13) Electrical Wiring Diagrams All these chapters are well laid out and describe the repair of every part, incredibly superior to a Haynes manual. I also have the manual on DVD but the real hard copy in your hand is far better as any mechanic will tell you.
  7. That's not strictly true, the resistance in the lead can go sky high and stop the current from flowing to the end at all. Most leads are now made with a carbon conductor which can break down over time and stop the passage of electricity, even if the insulation were to break down its unlikely that you'd see it arcing all over the place" as the insulation would have to almost disappear entirely for the spark to pass through it. Most faults occur near either end of the lead where the connectors are, try pulling the lead off of each plug with the engine running, if when you pull of a lead there is no difference in the speed/note of the engine then you have found the faulty cylinder. (use insulated pliers). Also check the plugs, see if they have a brown ring around the porcelain where it meets the metal body, this would be a build of of metallic oil which can lead to something called the corona effect where the spark travels along the outside of the plug and down to the block, this can be almost impossible to see actually happening. As for looking at the engine at night and seeing some sort of light show that will give away the faulty part, its very very unlikely.
  8. what about that don't you get? The police were there, they had a volvo. There was a ford (maybe a focus) which appeared to have hit the supra up the arse.

    craig is not how ian fleming described bond, he is too macho and blast everything. the old bond's were not like that.
  13. my rear hatch hinge broke in two once, that was interesting...
  14. rear view mirror then, or pocket compact one? lol
  15. what happened to the car, looks well mangled!
  16. have you run someone over, maybe they are trapped underneath the car and the squeak if the last breath of life ebbing away from them as they are dragged along the road while you check your make-up in the sunvisor mirror?
  17. yes you can test them, a haynes manual will be able to give you the resistance reading they should give you, its in the k ohm range if i remember from college (12 years ago!) but if you take a reading from all 4 and one is significantly different then it may indicate a faulty lead.
  18. Have a look here http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/3-4in-heavy-duty-water-hose
  19. I have completed this twice now, and when you have to snipe zacheive(sp?) with the .50 cal its impossible to kill him, i have tried again and again, all you can do is take his arm off. I have played sniper elite for ages so i'm good with the sniper rifle and i know i got a centre body mass shot on zachieve (or whatever his name is) and with a .50cal it would have taken him apart, i was looking forward to a different ending but alas, only an arm was missing.
  20. King Leonides, his actions saved the foundations of democracy.
  21. it sure is an ugly little fu*ker, what sort of trap would you need for that!! does it eat cheese??
