Re: Rogue Systems Tubby Vs Jeremy Clarkson's SL55 AMG

Yes I know, but OCD is irrational :) I have to place the card a few yards away then walk back and check the door, lol. I'm a compulsive double checker of things.

Re: Rogue Systems Tubby Vs Jeremy Clarkson's SL55 AMG

Just found this thread, I've just bought that SL55 and the funny thing is my other car is an MR2 turbo with identical set up to the one described by the OP! (tried to post a pic but it won't let me) It was Jeremy Clarkson's, he sold it ages ago to a local bloke who I bought it from. It's in amazing ...

Re: charging problem how to tighten belt ?

I'm no expert, but I believe you can over tighten the belt which is worse than slightly slack because it will destroy the bearings in the alternator through too much pressure. My alternator has made an awful grindy noise on the overrun since I've had the car (6 months) but charges correctly, was thi...

Re: Headlamps won't pop up - help please!

A mate said it won't be the fuse because they're fused separately, and the fault developed in both lights at the same time.

Headlamps won't pop up - help please!

Hi all, I 've had to wind both headlamps up using the red knobs, all the bulbs work correctly just won't go up using the stalk.

Any ideas where to start looking please?

Re: £15 = 50 miles - Poor MPG

Don't forget we're being ripped off for about £6.40 per gallon (haha remember the protests when we said we would never pay as much as £5 per gallon) so £15 is only 2 and 1/3 gallons. Overall I get 23 mpg from mine (decat/1bar) which is like heaven compared to my Zed which does 17 mpg (decat/0.9 bar)...

Re: Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110's

I'm a bit of a tyre nutter, have tried many brands over the years on Zeds and RX-7's. My Mr2 came with Hankook V12 tyres on the front, and Contisport on the rear. The Conti's I will be changing soon as I've never rated them, even though they're supposed to be a performance brand name. I don't have t...

Are NGK PFR6A plugs ok in a turbo?

Hi all, hopefully someone can answer a few questions I have please! Just bought a Rev2 turbo and have checked the plugs which are PFR6A 11 gapped at 26 thou (0.65mm). The correct plugs are BKR6EP I think, so should I change them or leave what's there, it runs fine and never misses a beat. The car is...
