Took a load of snaps today...over 100 in total..here is a couple of my youngest with her mice Fluffy (Houdini) and Blaze.

There are a lot of mobile diagnostic in swindon, one place i would avoid is scorpian engineering in swindon itself, i know the mobile ones charge anthing from 50 quid upwards.Best garage i ever used was laughing horses in wootton bassett, they are near sainsburys( if its still called that), down a little dirt track on the left hand side...he will give you free quotes and is a marvel..helped me a lot when i got stuck on my car and sometimes did work for free or for a pittance...His name is Keith.If you ever go there..tell him i sent you.He will remember me as i was always going there for help and advice.LOL.He is very well recommended and doesnt bullsh1t you either. If you just need help with diagnoseing a prob..he will help you.He will fit parts that you get yourself aswell.

Looks very good there Nik!!..very good job you have done.

No one hides anything on here in regards to information.Wolfie has basically done what some peeps should/can do.Which is search the net. If Google doesnt throw up the results that you want, then you search again useing different keywords.This goes for any search engine, inc the one on here. People come on here looking for help, and we give it..Wolfie included.Just sometimes, some people expect us to find the answers for them when they havent even tried themselves. Wolfie did suggest that the op searched the net. I myself have sometimes spent a fair amount of time searching the net and this forum for info that a member needed. This thread is now closed

Its a speedtouch 330.

I cant help, sorry. I have merged this topic with your other one on the same subject, always best to keep adding to one topic to do with the same thing rather than start another. :rolleyes:

I wont be doing anything to the car till sat.as will have more time then. To check what i need to check, i need to know what it looks like...no point telling me if i dont know what the various things look like.LOL. When i find Halfords i will get a Haynes manual.

"Just one squeeze!!please??"

No idea//My CC panel always flashed for 10 secs or so..just needed a regas..though i never got it done as it still worked ok.

1.6 yes..she does go.

WEll you could try pushing it out of the drive to face the way you want to go :( ..once you get the beasties moving they aint that hard to push..Had to push the Gal i had 50 yards once. Otherwise..i aint got a clue..will be interesting to see how many miles you can cover without useing reverse...gonna try it?.. :16:

shes a 1.6 LS....engine size is..well it says here 15980cc..that cant be right can it??

jimtdi is no longer a member of this forum. I very much doubt that the pictures can be reinstated, as when a member deletes them..they are gone.

74kbps download, 317 upload!

Mike, wolfie is the way he is and always has been on here.He has been a member under one name or another from when this forum was first started and knows a lot of stuff and has helped a lot of people, Yes he can be brash and sarcastic..believe me, what he posts these days in regards to sarcasm ... is nothing compared to what he used to post. It takes all sorts to make a place like this work and succeed.

ISP is Tiscali...I had to call them the other day as i couldnt connect and they had me delete my connection then reset it up.I am supposed to be on 8meg BB..I have tried uninstalling...reinstalling...deleteing stuff from my pc thinking i had too much cr@p on it..ive swopped the speedtouch modem for a new one...ive also swapped the filter.. I can be on two forums and one may load quick whilst the other fast..or both fast or both slow.Sometimes the connection is perfect othertimes its useless, soon as it connects it disconnects.I dont download a lot of stuff if anything.I just go ont he forums and browse the net for any info i might need.But my icon keeps saying i am on 7.6mbps.I have phoned tiscali and they said there are no probs with my BB connection.After i did the connection speed i rang them and they said i was on 7.6 and that there was no problems at all and it must be my pc.

Thanks for the link..couple o piccies of the engine..

my result..Yet the icon in my task bar is saying that my speed is 7.6mbps! The speed test has completed on test server speedtester1.nat.bt.com for user 01********* and you have downloaded a 1.7Mb file at a speed of 27 kilo bits per second (Kbps), your service bandwidth will have been quoted to you in kilo bits per second.

I went to see if it needed defragging again, and there was only 4 red lines so i didnt bother. But every now and then..the pc is slower than if it was on dial up still.

Umm...no link there turk...i will take a pic of the engine later and post it, cant this morn as its my daughters school play. Thanks for all the help.

im asking on here coz i know you lot know what you are talking about,

thanks turk, shes an R reg,10 yr old.

Your quite right about that. Anyone want a copy of Shrek the third or Die hard 4 or Harry P. had shrek 3 ages....Die hard 4 sounds good to me though!

Um...guys.....just one thing..i have absolutely no idea what all these parts look like! :lol: Anyone got any pics?..am searching the net..but if anyone has a pic of the engine with the parts pointed out that would be great...its an ecotec engine if thats any good? Gawd...rather work on a gal engine..i knew vaguely what i was doing on that! Will try as suggested as soon as i know what it is im looking at.

ok..sounding stoopid now...where the heck is the carb and what does it look like? and what is it supposed to look like if working normally?? If i rev it on the drive..the revs drop very slowly till it gets to 2k then it just drops.unless it decides to idle around 1.5k every now and then..also..if i rev it to say 3/4k..touching 5k.....then it sort off splutters a bit?? goes putt putt??..Hmm.. Sk...we dont have an old banger section :lol:
