    Am a bit of a F1 hater love rally and rallycross but got admit that I really enjoy that yesterday. Shame about the rain but all in all a good race I have been converted.
  2. Have done around 5 motors now and no problems.That said my mate blow his turbo on a 07 golf 140 brake but he had only bought it, he was warned about previous servicing being a concern. If you have owned the vehicle for some and know it's problems then it no worry. Oil is everything when tuning diesels. Good quality every change and changed a few thousand less than manufactures recommended Mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Well done lad nice job to to get started with, hope it goes well for you.
  4. 60 psi you would need a new backbone after a long drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. What do you run them at now? I would run them at 32 psi rear 30 front, but a sure someone will correct me if am wrong. And the 32 on the rear would be if towing, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Also handy for greenfly on apple and plum trees. Best insecticide or well maybe the cheapest about I would say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. You have more torque from tickover with a remap, torque is everything really bhp figures just look good, and yes it is all to do with emissions. Next mod is to get rid of the most pointless item on any car the egr valve. It's going next it kills modern engines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Manufacturers have the the same engine range and all they do is change the software in the ECU. So remapping isn't a millions miles away from what takes place when they have different horsepower engines. I just bought a new insignia 2.0 diesel 160 bhp there is very little difference between it and a 130 bhp model just bigger injectors and a map change. Now I will remap it to 194 bhp and with regular servicing and mechanical sympathy, I have no worrys or fears of going bang. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Might see if rob is doing any climbing courses or maybe do a week in Scotland just not sure yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Was going to ask them same question regarding oregon chains, I have 1 on a 20" bar and a stihl chain on a 16" bar. Even when cutting small stuff the Oregon chain doesn't seem to cut the same. Anyone else find this between the two, I will be sticking with stihl chains as I only had the Oregon because got gave to me with a new bar. I won't be rushing to buy a replacement when it's done.

  11. The greek pumped I reckon good one.
  12. I am in the middle of looking to book my 38/39 and have no climbing experience, if I could have had 1 or 2 weeks with someone to show me the rope's then it wouldn't be so daunting. I would pay someone to get me up to speed with knots position and equipment, think that's a real good idea. As for the 30/31 and the five day course that whole thing could be done in an afternoon biggest rip off in training in my opinion.
  13. It just shows how annoyed people get over them.
  14. Happy birthday Tony your still a young thing never worry, just don't go buying a rover and I mean the car not the jeep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  17. Dull here today no wind but don't see it being a heatwave in the province not today anyway.
  18. Well if your in the south have you tried jenkinson at the border he does ifor there's only him and lamont in Ballymoney that does them in the north. He always has traded stuff in and he's better to work with than lamont. Here is the link with his address.... T H Jenkinson (Armagh) - New & Used Trailers - Horsebox, Livestock, Plant, Tippers, Car Transporters, Flatbed, Box Van, Spares
  19. Queens university turns out the highest qualified engineers in the British isles. Just ask the Yanks and the Chinese that pay so much to be there. As for the dale kane trailers if you are in England I would be looking at an Atlas trailer steve had a real nice one for sale. It's away now but the built quality on them is good and the look the part.
  20. There is only one place to buy a bike mate get yourself a B ONE from Bicycles | Bikes | Mountain Bikes | Road Bikes | MTB Bikes | Bike Parts | Bike Frames | Road Frames | MTB Frames Biggest bike shop in the world by the way.
  21. There's a full arb dog thread with tons users dogs get a look at it some class looking mutts. I would put a link to not sure how to when using the phone, you will find it in the search directory. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Am the same lite it every couple day normally after 5pm to have plenty of warm water for baths for kids, and to wash that stupid dog who likes to roll in deer **** when she finds smelly hound. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. The difference between 60 and a ton a day is 10,400 a year on a five day week, I see plenty of threads with people saying they won't lower there prices when it comes to quoting jobs, they would sooner lose work than do it for less. There's a company over here looking a climber with his own saw ppe climbing kit and transport and paying 7.20 a hour! That's just greed as far as am concerned. I know business is business but money's made round to go round and if the company's doing well then the workers need a share of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. You would be able to see if it's chain oil on the manifold, take it it's not coming from the exhaust by the sounds of it, how old is it? Has it had much use and apart from the smoke what's it running like? Does it seem to be hungry on chain oil just now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
