  1. Been thinking of overhauling my bushes on the car. Any ideas to the cost of a complete set of bushes for the rears and the fronts. Any help would be appreciated .... Thanks
  2. I had a switch like that. In bed one night and heard a car trying to turn over. Well the drive was on a slope and by the time I realised what was happening, my car was in the main road and pointing up the street. But hah ha suckers coz they couldn't start it and made their escape in another car which I got the number for.... job done. Still kept the car and just had to replace the ignition switch. Failing that mate. Ambush them with paintball guns and call the police. They won't get very far and they will think twice with a couple of well place paint balls in the lower knacker region. Good luck with all the advice mate.
  3. So you think someone is worth 18 million over four years of chatting shite on the TV and Radio whilst making cheap jokes at someone. Thank God your not looking after my licence money. These people are grossly overpayed for what they do and our money would be better spent on something else. Scrap the licence fee if this is where our money is spent. I rather make a coffee whilst the adverts are on than be made to pay for this over indulged bunch of time wasters like the BBC and it's overpayed presenters
  4. Imagine finding a message on ur answer fone from some twat that looks like a caveman and some overpaid idiot talking about having sexual intercourse with ur grand daughter. Now imagine that everyone in the country knows about it and see how you feel. These two are disgraceful with the amount of money they take from the licence payer that they can make cheap laughs to someone that can't defend themselves. Sack them both and save the licence payer 20 million over 4 years. Can't stand either of them, they are both a disgrace to society ....
  5. Originally I think Katies idea of moving it to the afternoon was a good idea but since then numbers seem to have dropped off which is a shame. Myself included although I have had a few probs with the Supe. Maybe if we moved it back to an evening time of 7 pm again, the response might be better. Any ideas or sugestions would be greatly appreciated. It's a great shame because it's a nice location with some great people and we always have a laugh. Maybe different commitments have prevailed but it would be nice to get the meet back on track.
  6. Anyone going to the Fairmile in Cobham on Saturday 1st November. Can't see a thread started ??????
  7. Well, you have done a damn fine job there mate. Excellent
  8. By the way can I ask how much the paint job cost you mate ????
  9. Sorry to say and disappointed with myself for neglecting the engine and in the end it costs you more. Am now sorting it all out. This was a problem highlighted through another problem with the core plug. Again, neglect. I got my cap and rotor arm from Camberly Autofactors ... special order but still got it the next day. Think they are based all over Surrey. I have to say as in the thread that mine was flat and pretty worn out. I think this is something that most peeps forget for the N/A as is out of site, out of mind. All I know it has deffo improved fuel consumption and performance......
  10. Have loved this kit from the moment I saw it and would love to do the same to mine sometime. Good to see a thread of the complete build and comgrats on a great job, especialally at the road side. WELL DONE MATE :clap::clap:
  11. Most of the Supes are about 10 years old. Mine has done 130, 000 kms so not much in miles really. Was shocked at the state of the rotor arm and cap. One of those things that peeps tend to forget. Changed both and now much improved fuel and performance. Any other peeps had the same or if not I suggest you check out ur rotor arm as mine was flat lol. ....
  12. I did mine with thinners or white spirit and one of those wire net scourer things for frying pans. Very easy job. Hope this helps ...
  13. Does anyone no the locations of all the core plugs on the engine. I think there are six on the exhaust manifold side. Any help would be appreciated ...
  14. Thanx Ian .... I think that would be better idea to attack it all at the same time. If the O/D light still flashes at least I can break the sound barrier at 113 lmao. Nice Supe by the way mate :thumbs:
  15. I need to delimit the 112mph top speed. Would it not be better to replace the kph-mph converter with a new kph-mph + delimiter unit from Thor Racing and see if that cures the problem ... Thankx guys ....
  16. My overdrive light flashes periodically. Sometimes not at all and then it will have a constant on off flashing. Turn the engine off and it will reset. I saw in a previous thread that it might be the kph-mph converter chip. For what relevance this has to the flashing overdrive light I don't know. But the poster said it sorted the problem. Question .... Anyone had any experience of this problem and where the hell is the kph-mph converter chip. Thanks guys......
  17. Last year I asked Father Christmas for a shotgun. He said "sure Ben, but what do you need a shotgun for. I said, "try sticking ur f**king head down my chimney and find out ya fat git ....
  18. Where is the kph-mph converter chip located .... thanks
  19. Thanks for all ya help guys. The car is back on the road and running nice. Scott I'll give ya a call about returning ur crank shaft pulley tool. Thanx ever so much for all ur help mate ....
  20. You probs heard this one but hear goes ..... A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde. The blonde cop asked to see the blonde driver's license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. 'What does it look like?' she finally asked. The policewoman replied, 'It's square and it has your picture on it.' The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and handed it to the policewoman. 'Here it is,' she said. The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, OK, you can go! I didn't realize you were a cop!'
  21. Thanks mate the pulley is back on and eveything seems aligned and ok will be putting the distributor, new arm and cap tomoz .. will keep you posted ... Thanx for all ur help mate ...
