huh, ive had tons of help... i realised my maf was alright when i disconnected it and the damn thing hardly moved.. it isnt a slow car i just find that there doesnt seem to be much pull at about 50 in 4th.. but then you know what car i have to compare it to!! :D it was a tongue in cheek comment - where do you think a lot of the info has come from - people have bought tis, elswin ekta epos haynes and share the information freely

shame nobody has given you any help here :(

oops didn't occur to me - just trying to keep all the items wanted where we can find the list - wasn't mumof4 :D :( :D :D :D

how about a split in the ducting after MAF - whoosh of air being sucked in - lean mixture giving poor acceleration

we'll all be in trouble when MM catches up with us later :D :D

sabre-toothed tiger ???

dont need to say it :D :D :D just filling in time waiting for some details :D :D

Put in in the items wanted post - pinned in general discussion and nonsense - best read how to post it there though otherwise the wrath of mumof4 will be terrible to behold :( :D :D

more appropriate

blue - swimming in them now :( :D

BJ - struggling with your quotes old boy??

stefan-wein law IIRC - not taught it for years :D frequency of emitted radiation depends on the cube of the temperature ? things need to be 1000K (700-800C) to emit much visible light :( :D

get it to learn the words :D sorry :(

could always try I suppose - tis isnt always correct :10:

now I'm cofused on the other thread you started you said you bought sony's were they already sony speakers and did you mean to post this on the other thread???

they absorb the light - warm up slightly and re-radiate as infra-red (ps which we can't see so it looks dark) As in light is energy and energy can not be destroyed so it has to go somewhere. I knew about the black re-radiating though, I still remember the cube lesson at physics...... All household radiators would be matt black if we wanted them to really work! household radiators transfer most of their energy as convection - they are misnamed, in our old science department we painted all of our radiators matt black to emphasise the point

somebody posted to this effect - seems that sometimes this works sometimes not :10:

Checking TIS just gives the following The charging system warning indicator flickers or is intermittent Possible Source(s): Circuit(s). Action(s) to take: CLEAN and TIGHTEN all generator, battery and power distribution connections. TEST the system for normal operation. If the concern persists, INSTALL a new generator. Possible Source(s): Generator. Action(s) to take: CARRY OUT the Generator On-Vehicle Tests, REFER to WDS.

it does but air is a poor conductor, for the air in the car to get cooler it must move by convection to cooler parts and lose some energy - without forced convection(fan blowing) it will rise to the roof because its less dense - if the roof is not cooler the air gets hotter and hotter until the skin of the car in contact with the hot air gets hotter and radiates more and more. the roof is cooler then the air will transfer some energy by conduction, become more dense and sink again, the roof may lose this extra energy by radiation or it may be carried away by moving air in contact with the roof. The movement of heat (thermal energy) is controlled by the interaction of conductoin, convection and radiation all forced by temperature differences.

in that case what 'processing' does the output of the alternator get - presumably full wave rectificatiion, regulation and at some point voltage sensing/comparison with some reference which will set off the indicator lamp on the dash board. How much is built in to the alternator, can the regulator be changed independently? ummm

when they believe it :D :D

against all common sense I agree I've never found much difference and always run with aircon on anyway. In physics terms you must do work to pump heat against a temperature difference mechanically there must be almost as much work being done with the aircon off as whan its on - this must come down to engineering though

:10: ....file under "Urban Legends"......next to Dellboyt..... :D -_- :D :D wow I remember delboyt and his claims :D :D

ehhh No its infra-red which warms up the skin, ultraviolet stimulates the production of melanin e.g tanning. Ultra-violet photons have enough energy to knock electrons out of atoms - thus doing chemistry, photons of visible light can in some circumstances do the same (usually in semi-conductors with small band gap energies) but in the human skin they and infra-red photons knock the electrons around and make the atoms vibrate more - raising the temperature surprisingly enough :10: the boring old normal laws of physics do apply :D :D darker objects absorb more but they also radiate more wow this carpark's dark there must be a blacked out car in here -_- this is what the ancient greeks believed for a while :D they absorb the light - warm up slightly and re-radiate as infra-red (ps which we can't see so it looks dark)
