I have used brake fluid a couple of times when i havent had any redex, never had any problems. A mate of mine who used to be a mechanic for Ford told me about it when i tried to blag some redex from him a year or so back when i had the Black Uno Turbo ie.

If the breaks really don't work and the stearing does pull badly to one side then they have good reason to want to check you'r car out. It is strange though, only times ive ever had the police think my car is unsafe they have given me this form thing and i have gone down to my local mot garage...

yup, change rotor arm and dizzy cap and check the spark plugs, if the plugs are black then mabey you'r autochoke is sticking. the autochoke hasnt worked properly on any of the K10's i have owned. Owen

I was talkign to George about this a while back and he said that Mk2 Golf coilovers fit and also he said that K11 Front Coilovers fit the front. Never got round to trying it though as i wrote of my K10. :) Owen

not to forget the FWD volvo turbo's aswell.. :) i.e 440, 460, 480. there are a few of them going round that are running 250+Bhp. I know for a fact there is a 460 going aroudn with a 2.3 turbo kicking out 230Bhp (almost standard) as i owned it for a few weeks before i got the CB900 :)

Fastest FWD car in the UK? Could be hard, there are a few metro's with 1.8 K series engines in various states of tune around at the moment, there is one with a turbo'd 1.8 k series that i know of ( i did a lot of talking with the owner who built the engine himself about my current project which...

A few of the early A series turbo conversions used suck through carb system, and the supercharged rover V8 we used to have in our ofroader used a suck through system, not the best system but it works. :) Why not go all out and convert it to Fuel Injection? :p I have a coupel of spare...

yup, it is a waste. but i personally dont have the time or space to mess around stripping car's and i am picking up 2 more cars tommorow that i am saveing from the scrappers. will sell them on when they are fixed and then hopefully i can get cracking building my new garage. just need rid of...

If you decide to put her back on the road i have a pre facelift you can take parts from, also got a brand new set of shocks in the shed you can have. :) only thing that wouldnt be compatible are the wings, bonnet, grill, headlights, bumper. but things like the starter motor and shocks and...

that reminds me though, if anyone wants anything from my pre facelift LS special then come help yourself, it is going to the scrappies in a couple of weeks. along wiht one of my metro's and a bmw 323i and a fiat panda. so if anyone wants anything from any of the above then let me know. :) the...

it all depends, the scrap man i get out to dispose of cars for me takes 4 cars from us at a time and crushes them to a mangled wreck whilst they are ont he back of the truch so he can fit all 4 on. cost's £15 a car and he usually lets me crush them myself with the crane thing which is great...

I used to have a cherrybomb on the back of my micra, 3.5" slash cut oval. looked pretty good and it JUST fit under there. It was VERY loud though. Probably your best bet is to have a look on ebay, i believe Rage and Savage both make short backboxes that can be made to fit with a 3.5" or 4"...

looks cool. now if only i could persuade dad to mod the saxo..lol..

i was just going to point that out aswell..lol..

shouldnt take too long aslong as you stick at it. if your anything like me then it takes no time atall to get things half finished, but then the enthusiasm seems to die of and it takes longer to finish than it should.. get your ass on msn :p I have a new car :D nother Volvo. Owen

wouldnt cutting grooves in the windscreen weaken it? the windows are important as they help maintain the cars structure if you roll it. still, if it dosnt affect the strength of the windscreen then it sounds pretty cool :D

yes dillo does support CSS. . I use Dillo mainly for debuging code as it has a built in debugger. Personally i wouldnt worry that the page dosn't work properly in Dillo as to be honest nobody really uses it to browse the web as far as i'm aware. Owen

Ok, tested it in a load of browsers and it worked in firefox 0.8, firefox 0.9, mozilla 1.6, epiphany 1.0.7, Konqueror 3.2.1. only borwser i couldnt gdet it to work in was Dillo, and that was because the whole site is totally f'ed up in dillo.. Owen

yeh, works fine for me too :p will test later in some diffrent browsers :)

how does he know its automatic if its invisible? sounds good though :) shame about the price really. Owen
