Hi Ross, I'll keep my eye out for you! I'm in the south (the Shire!!) and apart from heading out on long trips every now & then, I do the...
The nuts will be normal RH thread. Trick is how to break the taper of the rod-end "shaft" which passes through the hole in the hub. Just...
Tone, driving around Sydney I get about 18 litres per 100 km, dropping to say 12-13 on a run outside the city. If you punt it pretty hard in town...
If you can get it jacked-up onto stands you can try disconnecting the shifter rod where it comes out of the back of the console tunnel, just in...
You may not be getting full disengagement. The 25mm bore 147 cylinder will give you approx 50% less clutch pressure but will require 50% more...

ditto (I also need to know). Actually I wish mine was DIMMER, as the damn numbers are *way* too bright. At night any car following you can see...

Just seen a re-run of the Top Gear F430 episode, and it brought back to me just how UNWILLING my own Mondi 3.2 's engine has always been. Sure...
Coming in a bit late, but anyway ... 1. Re tightening torque, 18ft-lb is pretty light. It's 18 lbs on the end of a 1- foot socket bar, or 2...
If you're using Microsoft Outlook in a corporate environment, you should be able to click on the Deleted Items folder, and (if the item isn't...
First determine if there is excessive free-play in the steering linkage. If you can turn the steering wheel rim by more than say 1cm (1/2")...
Great info. Thanks So anyone know what goes on inside the box? Does it have a separate ODO link to the gearbox, or is all electronic taking...
Ah, where IS this small button exactly? I had assumed (wrongly) the light was reset via the electronic diagnostic plug in the engine-bay (ie:...
