    They were cheap at some fuckin shop I went to! Terribly comfortable, unless you pull them up to your neck of course

    Funny judge

    'three mystic dwarfs'! Sounds like what I've read of DMT.
  5. I'd say not, but it would be worth taking it apart to see if indeed teeth are stripped on the reduction gears inside. Having read what Chris said, it seems likely to me that this might have happened, particularly if it's 'spinning like mad'. I said I wasn't an expert - I didn't even consider that there'd be reduction gears inside, but of course there has to be in order to get enough torque.
  6. I was kidding too to start with but I think he took it a racist comment against the Irish! I was just joking about how the theads with a couple of our Irish members tend to get a bit shirty
  7. I'll fucking say what I like.
  8. Well, I mean the lever. I use it to limit the gear that will be changed up to.
  9. LOL I love these Irish threads.
  10. From what I remember /ispriv and /ispub were for Exchange 5.5. and it's an alternative to actually giving the pathname of the databases you want to defrag/integrity check/repair. It just means "the default private information store" or "the default public information store"
  11. The lever acts as a limiter. If you select L, it'll stay in first. If you select 2, it won't go above second. D allows all four gears to be used. Overdrive switches fourth gear (overdrive) on or off. MANU makes the car stay in whatever is selected, e.g. 1, 2, or 3 (L, 2, D). The exception here is that the car won't set off in 3rd - if you have MANU on whilst in D, the car will still use 2nd gear at very low speed. Overdrive is automatically turned off in MANU mode, e.g. there is no fourth gear in MANU. If you're driving already, it won't actually change out of fourth gear though until you hit the gas. Red button allows you to pull out of park with the key out, or something (I have a UK car which doesn't have this.) Taking the above into consideration, you would use Overdrive switch and the lever itself to engine brake, and also whilst flooring it out of corners or sliding so that it won't drop to a higher gear if you lift off a bit. I never use MANU but I use the limiter a bit.
  12. Heyy.. I'm glad you're pleased! I was worrying for a while that I'd have to give you back the money.. that I'd spent
  13. or you could copy the database over to a workstation with sufficient storage capacity and use eseutil from there (install exchange managment tools or just copy eseutil.exe, jcb.dll, exosal.dll, and exchmem.dll over to the workstation)
  14. dismount the public store in ESM; eseutil /d e:\progra~1\exchsrvr\mdbdata\pub1.edb /f t:\publictemp\pub1.edb /p rename the existing pub1.edb pub1.edb.old then move over the defragged file from t:\publictemp
  15. Sorry mate I missed this. No the car that I've seen looks completely stock and like it could do with being T-Cutted. I think I saw a lady driving it actually.
  16. A not-quite-but-soon-to-be member has PM'd me with the following (says he can't post in Tech as he's not a member yet..) So I have said: I'm no expert on the starters, but I did the rebuild on mine and have a bit of an understanding of how they work. If it is spinning, then the solenoid part is obviously working (this is the part which 'pushes' the pinion gear/shaft into the gearbox). It's a dual-action thing - when it pushes the shaft into the gearbox, it simultaneously makes a connection inside which actually drives the motor. So, the fact that it's spinning means that it's also being pushed into the gearbox. My initial thoughts are that this could be stripped teeth from the starter motors' pinion gear on its output shaft, or more worryingly stripped teeth on the input to your gearbox. I recommend you post your question in the Technical section of the forum, along with what I've said so that other people can comment. So, any thoughts people? His car is a '94 tt auto.

    What would you do

    I can't beleive they're wanting to do such an expensive repair on it. From what we've heard lately it's the opposite - people having to work hard to keep their cars on the road!
  18. take the plugs out and have a look!
  19. Lots of NAs go for £4k. Should pick one up for £3.5k if he spends some time looking at a few and making offers.
  20. The UK spec Toyota shocks were not Bilsteins. As far as I know, there is only the one Bilstein option and that's the 'upgrade' Toyota branded Bilsteins. I have these on my UK car and am very pleased. I think they were a Jap-spec option part, but I'm not sure now.. They might be a euro-spec optional upgrade..
  21. well.. possibly. I think he changed the thread titles around. either that or I accidentally clicked on the wrong thread in the RSS list..
  22. LOL Great stuff re: the lights. Can't wait
  23. The thread title was "What's my car worth?" when I replied. He must have changed it..
  24. Did you change the topic title? It's just that it looks like I've come out of nowhere, saying what I think your car is worth. I could have sworn the title was "what's my car worth", but now I see that you have a totally separate thread with that title.. anyhow, i think £6k is high for an NA, so really that's allowing for your new seats and stuff.
