241 switchover.

The drift demon has had a slight tappet noise that lasts about a second on startup since the cold weather. I put the cheapest oil I could find into it. Guess that says something...

New idea; SN's should come with remote control's like stereo's, wearing a harness I can't reach it.

How to use a Satnav; Rule 1: Make sure it is positioned correctly, for best results it should be mounted directly in front of your face above the binnacle or if you prefer, on it. The Satnav must have priority in your field of vision at all times. Rule 2: Never try to second guess your Satnav...

Recently sold a Passat 1.8t, its been sitting for a couple of months in the cold weather & when I took it out to drive it the oil pressure warning light came on, never seen that before. Continued driving & started to hear the tappets on the over run. Engine was fine before it was left sitting so...

Yellower.

Oranger.

Lowrrrrr.

Also got stopped once because my car had apparently flagged up an ASBO complaint, pretty sure it wasn't me though as I had only bought it a few weeks previously.

Got stopped the other night following a police Landrover & asked to turn my fog lights off because I was dazzling the driver. Guess following someone going down a hill the fog lights shine right into the drivers mirror.

Runs on pure vegetable oil.

"Game over" on the fuel filler.

I've done this in cars when I've had to drive a short distance with no brakes. It is possible at very low speed but the noise & feel of it makes me think I'm definitely causing major damage.

Guess I'm not the only one who's had this issue...

You explained something complex in a way my feeble brain can understand.

Eh? why?

Fog? I thought that was just all the VW drivers.

Making friends with the airbags.

Found these though...

So I asked a bunch of these "cheep spring makers" on eBay what the spring rates / stiffness ratings are, here are some of the replies: !This would not have been tested by ourselves. However many customers have bought these for their cars and they have not had any issues on fitment. I hope that...

Mk1 NSX.

I'm liking the MacGyver style ideas, keep them coming.

Nah, I need some springiness but minimal.

Because it's what I want & its difficult to find out how rigid springs are going to be whilst browsing.

Appreciate the answer. It is going to be a cheep set though because I'm not spending heap's of cash on an old banger. Some cheap springs I've had in the past have been spot on.

Q1: Where can you find the spring rates of a set of springs, the cheaper one's that are available don't seem to publish this info. Q2: Where can you find the maximum load capacity of stock springs? Q3: Is the maximum load capacity of a spring an indication of its rigidity?

Hmm, a VW. Where are the plumes of sooty smoke?

Here's the issue; I know of no way to check how hard a spring is until I put it on the car & try it. I can only rely on feedback & reviews.
