manages to sell the coilies on here. coolio!

With petrol prices crippling me and the need to an estate i've gone and bought a 406 estate diesel 2.1td. unfortunately its the one with ht elucas pump so cant run it on veg oil. it was cheap but its done a LOT of miles. but 1 owner full dealer history so hopefully ok. as a result my favourite car i...

evenin'.

what would be a good easy oem brake upgrade for a 1.8 CL?

do the 2.0 or gts have better front brakes or can i take the carriers calipers etc from a golf gti? does my lack of ABS cause any upgrade problems?

cheers all.

thansk mate. will bare that in mind. will make sur eits up to the job of runnin gdiesel first though. hopefully wont cost me too much to put right.

ok..I've just one another 35i for the driveway! £205 off the bay. 1992 1.6td estate. big miles **cough245kcouch** but it only needs to go up and down the A12. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120180830772 thinking of trying it on veg oil once its back. needs mot and tax.. ex...

maybe ( ahem!)

although to be fair.. im quite pee'd from a night of wine tasting so will take a look tomorrow and let you know. either way. £150 aint bad is it?

if you choose to sell it on.. try the thoroughly nice people at http://www.retro-rides.com

they will shoehorn it into an old datsun or polo saloon or similar...

yep, have just found it on the web. Sallon has 55 litre, estate has 70 litre. 12.1 Gallon and 15.4 gallon respecivly.

Hi, whats the official word on the size of the fuel tank on a 1.8 petrol saloon? I have a RP engines car and a PB engined car. both seem to have relatively small tanks and cost aprox £47 to fill up atm. but the PB (digifant) car gets about 420 miles if i drive like a granny whiles the best i can ge...

i got my coilies from german Ebay. worked out at £180 IIRC.. not fitted them yet though. still in the box frmo about 8 months ago!

I have certainly seen worse but pics can definately be deceiving..even if they dont mean to be. unfortunately no real chance to see the car before the auction ends. but will try and see it on saturday pm which will give me a few hours at least. regards to the lack of service history I assume it woul...

The roller is just very handy for the larger flat areas Well I'll be needing to get me one of them then! :lol: :roll: if you can get one of the heavy ones used for printing etc.. then that would be superb.. but i found that the fluro yellow ones for gloss paint from B&Q was fine. Just have to g...

ok, so our boots are huge.... what have you found in yours..

this is my most recent find at my brother in laws wedding reception!..

well our pug 307 is up for sale now to fund the new bathroom or windows. cant decide yet. However that means that i will be back in the Blue L and missus and baby will get the GL (with the power steering). this is good as it means i can finally have the excuse to get the coilovers on the L! oh yeah,...

It returns ok mileage and pulsl liek a train However.. it stinks.. literally. smells like its running rich. could a dodgy exhaust casue this? also im topping up my coolent fairly regulalry . the light starts flashing every couple of w...

you knows it... my "L" looks loads better than the "GL"

Cheers for the reply. i have one plastic nut that holds the tray that the ecu sits on. when i undo this the tray moves around but not out far enough. Alos which plug do you mean? there is a BIG plug directly into the ECU which looks like its screwed in? or hte small one underneath the "tray"

right, well i can only vouch for my fix from about the first 9-12 inches back from the top of the windscreen. however i also used a plastic Bike tyre removal tool (i know - a bit geeky!) but its got just the right edge to it to push into the nook sand crannies.somethign like a roudned cutlery handle...

Cheers Paul Is your rooflining still stuck where it should be?

cheeky begger ;) yes it is fine...

the key is make sure you have card against the windscreen, cos its a oh fiddlesticks! to get off the glass once it dried..
