On a serious note, if your changing gear and skipping one, by slowly lettting the gearbox change its speed, why would it be an issue? I only ever skip a gear when overtaking, and it happens like this: Your stuck behind someone (usually doing about 40). you see a gap to overtake, so you drop it from 4th to 3rd and give it some to overtake. When your cleanly past them (usually doing about 60 at this point), you slowly shift it from 3rd to 5th (letting the engine revs drop at their own rate to the right point)

I'm going to film myself driving around just using 1st, 3rd and 5th just to piss Jardo off

This is how you properly use a clutch

My entire day has reloved around this: (sorry for the shit picture, camera flash is crap) Removing the front bumper, radiator, intercooler, timing belt, injection pump, ect just to replace a £2 core plug Good news is its runs, well with a jump start (battery is f**ked). Hopefully MOT tomorrow, already have a buyer for it

Luke, you'll have to show me how to remove that part of the door handle. My golf is missing one, and for the life of me I can't figure out how them come off/ on!!!

ive been drunk enough to completly forgot whats happened, threw up over myself,ect ect, but i can honestly say ive never been THAT drunk

i know, more oxygen molecules per ser volume of air = more power, but i clearly said economy

im pretty sure that the cold air of winter will de-crease economy?

my phone keep reverting back to shit picture settings I like having adjustability though. ill properly end up getting some bigger alloys at some point, so it's not far off as it is. and i know :/ Quite amazed at how much different the back made. the front only felt slightly stiffer, however the back was the difference between night and day!

Fitted my front coilovers yesturday, and my rear ones today. Look dan ,properly greased coilovers Had to make a spanner/socket for my solid top mounts, was a 17/18th socket welded to a land rover grab bar :L Looking all shiny! Asked my dad for a bottle jack, he gave me this relick! no english writing on it, wind up bottle jack Now to fit the rears: top mounts moved across, springs ready metal locating ring removed All fitted in Annoyed with this though, this is the lowest it'd go and for the love of god, does anyone know what this washer is for? they came on the new shocks, yet the old shocks didnt have them and i cant find any mention of them online?

the throttle pedal one has more holes in it? - its bigger

yearly period Dan?

get a picture up JD! if its as Frankenstein as it sounds, itll be a laugh!

number plate bulb out? Just saved yourself a few quid

q6600, got it in one Now you're talking about real IT! I've recently implimented a entire new cluster at work, server 2012 r2, new HP gen 8 virtual hosts, fibre switches and msa san

i've been running a core 2 quad for the best part of 5 years

......

any video with a song from a danny mac video

when i had my astra 4 wheel alignment done, they has a special set of wooden blocks for lowered cars to get it on the 4 poster

glad you've finally done something useful

to be honest i grease anything thats either steel into ally, any bolts/nuts that are exposed or bolts that go into built in nuts (like subframe bolts). its alwas poor muggins here thats left with snapped bolts in the most awkward to reach places i mean, i snapped my anti roll bar drop link bolt the other day, and thats an m10 bolt

Why does no-one apart from me ever bloody copper grease the threads!!!! and its all your fault Dan, ended up buying a set of coilovers yesturday!

I've used those halogen style lamps before Dan, they're cheap, but the bulbs go quite easily if you knock it with you foot, ect. They also produce alot of heat. That site does re-chargeable LED ones for £30, something like this? http://www.sealantsandtoolsdirect.co.uk/tools/mechanical_and_auto/faithfull_freedom_rechargable_liion_cordless_led_work_light_P26698.html

finally found these. Wasn't even marked as an advsary, the bloke just made a comment of 'they might need replacing some time in the near future. Look at the pads on the right
