I just ordered a tonneau cover from these guys - due to be deliverd in about 2 weeks. I'll let the list know what it's like when it arrives. Apparently, these are the guys that supply TSSC. Another g

Sorry Jeff, you can't have that name, I've already used it! Oh, all right then, I suppose we can share it. I thought it was the perfect name for my car, especially since I'm a big Stephen King fan, t

Is it only the radio that has problems, or is it CDs, etc, as well? I'm thinking that it could be interferance, not supply voltage problems. Where is your arial mounted, and is the wire routed anywh

Patrick et al, I think the point Richard is making is that if you change the diff ratio, or the tyre size, the speed of the car at any given engine speed will change slightly. But you are correct in

Good point about more things to go wrong. In fact, in the time I've had my car, the overdrive has gone wrong far more times than anything else. But it's always been a simple electrical problem (brok

The usual reason that I hear for fitting a 5-speed over an overdrive (apart from availability) is weight. But you're right, I'm not sure that this would be relevant to Laura (especially since she se

No, this will never happen - manufacturers would never design a car like this, because then they'd never get any more money from people replacing their cars! How long before we need to simply upgrade

If all else fails, remove the head, then you can get to the bolts a lot easier. That's a last resort, though - I have seen the manifolds removed with thin-walled sockets and several "wiggly things"

Could it be the sender unit, not the voltage stabilizer, which is at fault? There were a couple of threads about this recently. Are there any other problems apart from the fuel guage? Dean --

Push-start the car to save battery. Keep the revs low (this will keep the current used by the ignition, and probably the injection, lower). Most importantly, make sure you have AAA card or equivalen
