but it doesn't remove images in signatures only turning them off completely does that.

cheers - much better - don't have to switch skins to search now :lol: btw back button appears to work fine with opera mobile (vs 8 core though 8.6) - I assume you are running vs 9 opera shame you cant turn graphics off in the signatures though - inconsiderate peeps like ..... Me :ph34r: with loads of graphics in sigs makes it difficult to use the site on pda's :ph34r:

sorry had no intention of dis...ing your mates :ph34r:
-
thank you :lol: I'm pretty sure I've posted it before but I can't find out where - apologies to BJ :lol:

as per jimbo's advice - put your car details in your signature for future reference (click on the red link in my signature for pointers) and have a look through the faq (click on the link in my sig) by then someone will have come up with some suggestions, btw does the washer empty itself on to the ground - maybe one of the pumps has come out of the bottle if it does !

umm needs more than a pile of paper (some of which disagree with you) and a mechanic to counter, sales brochures, TIS and/or Elsawin :lol: :lol: need better than that - much better can't really see any future in this thread now :lol:
-
I think to regain any credibility you would have to disclose the source of the figures since they seem to be quite a mixture with some appearing to be in agreement with the sales/tis and elsawin (those are obviously wrong) cos we can't have that then - so far the jury (cat and I) think you have not proved your case and at the moment are losing ground fast :lol: :lol: :lol:

Isn't it ????? ps if we are being pedantic, its acceleration and its not constant and the earth creates a gravitational field which gives rise to .... damm students they never listen :lol: :lol: :D :D

To be a pedant .... 115 has 113bhp = 83kW, Torque = 198Nm 130 has 128bhp = 94 kW, Torque = 224Nm 150 has 147bhp = 108kW, Torque = 257Nm So your figures are wrong :16: :16: :23: :lol: :lol: :lol: according to elsawin (see post abosve for the 115 and 130 Tims figures are correct !!!

don't you have to use the poiloader to convert to gpx system (use an ipaq myself so not certain )

reckless driving ?? or must get those parking sensors seen to reckless lifting ?? going going gone :lol:

Matt is that avatar a picture of you ? I bet as a student now he doesn't dress like that very often :lol:

noooooo it just luuuurvs chasing tail :lol: :lol: :lol: :16: and sooo hypnotic tooooo :23: :16:

It was based on a doubt of the figures that appear on the brochures Only one set of figures appears 310Nm torque at 1900rpm for the 115Bhp, 130Bhp and 150Bhp. This seems to be the only figures available and it seems unlikely to me that these 3 engines would all have exactly the same torque at a particular rpm. It seems much more likely to me that this was innacurate and the figure for one of the engines ( most likely the 150Bhp ) was being quoted for the other engines. "I've driven 3 cars and what you say is rubbish" is the same statement just condensed into an easy to understand format. I understood that the 115, 130 and 150 engines were basically all the same design with minor differences - ecu mapping and the like (all pds) and since the max torque & max power are only loosely connected and not measured at the same RPM why shouldn't they be the same, from what I understand shape of the rpm/torque curve will be different - not fall off so much at higher revs for the higher powered engines. Certainly I have a brochure (2001 MK2) which quotes the 310Nm figure for the 115 - at this point in time the 130 and 150 were probably only twinkles in the designers eyes so if your reasoning were correct then its likely that the subsequent torques would have been higher (as tim_spam maintains for the150BHP - 320NM at 1900) I find it less than believable that ford etc would have missed the trick in not advertising a higher torque for the 130 :lol: . One thing does seem a bit odd is that the autobox was not available for the 130 and 150 models because of the higher torque of the engine although this appears not to be the case with the 130 - although the curves would probably have to be looked at. As a slight aside to the above - apart from fuel/air/timing mapping what else is likely to have changed to give the greater power. Whilst I have qualifications in Mechanical engineering design and physics etc I think that engine design appears an arcane art - at least in overview :lol:

good idea - especially if we link the other recent post to it - see below Twinkles thread about fitting the MTX75 to a galaxy

I was very interested to see the comments on driving a diesel compared to a petrol car I have only ever driven diesels since learning to drive in a 1.4 polo -petrol is it the consensus then that the highrer torque makes accelerating easier in a diesel see this post from gsmguy and others comments from here (excepting BK and el doggo's dingo's overboosted A4 (ps what does this mean BTW) )

Utter rubbish ! Check your facts they are clearly wrong. Therefore if 150 BHP engine has a torque of 310Nm the 110BHP = 227Nm the 115BHP = 238NM the 130BHP = 269 NM I await a more sensible reply ;) I think that answers your question. sorry I was trying to work out the basis of the doubt with the figures whether it was based in fact or a case of 'I've driven 3 cars what you say is rubbish' ?
-
I'm a bit puzzled - Who is disputing the published figures ?? on what basis - seems unlikely that anyone could drive a couple of cars and then say 'car A' has 10Nm more torque than 'carB' without taking some measurements?
-
are all the pulleys in line ??

don't want to argue it - its basic physics - but like all other basic physics has to be applied in the correct way :P ah Why did you use ratios since all the data is available - can only think it didn't support your argument since ratios has to assume that ford (tim_spam) is correct for at least the first figure doesn't appear to stop you :lol: :lol: they dont (as in fact the majority of engines don't - but don't let me disturb YOUR reality) and you don't :D (an extremely simple Google search will reveal all I could give you some links but you will only say they are special cases - they are all car engines :lol:) Fish Barrel - : like my year 9 Physics students :D :D something in German ??????? but according to elsawin the same as ford only in Kw not BHP :lol: :lol: depending who or what we are comparing it to - I know its more likely to be correct than you here :lol: ps: just wondering If I being teased by a semi-magically creature under a bridge here

Back in the good old days when they were simply 'The Midland Bank' and they had a manager you could talk to and a direct phone no. for each branch. :lol: Andy. I know - and if you struck up a reasonable relationship with him you didn't have to worry about things like credit scoring. As a poor student I spent manyhours composing begging letters - hopefully amusing enough to work which it did. After it had changed hands an attempt to get a
