I guess with the detergent in the water boiling up produces the steam... I dunno. And yeah, I dunno how many posts I have read on here about how to fill a radiator without getting air-locks and crap like that. Man, I just so cannot be bothered!!!!! How much antifreeze needs to go in anyway?

What an embaressment! Next you will be putting screen wash in your coolant system like some complete a55 just did!

I have managed to be a complete tool (again). This time I filled up the coolant bottle with screenwash!!!! Its the type of stuff you get from Halfords that's pre-mixed. I have been running cold water into the reseviour and header tank thing to try and flush it a bit. Steam billowing everywhere and I think the water temp shot up! Will this cause damage and what to do now???

To be honest mate, I think you will have no probs picking up a nice Hawkeye for that sort of money and have some left over as well. The £400 is a bit of a hit, but I just do it in 6 months to ease the pain. Good luck!

Yeah, then cool as a cucumber, he turns and takes pics - legend!

Nice one!

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions, however, the noise (well that one) has stopped! There are other knocking sounds that I think might be suspension related, but the the noise reported on the OP didn't sound suspension related. I never got under the car either, too cold and I wouldn't know what I was looking for. Hopefully, the noise will stay away

Dunno Dunno Both aded to the list for the weekend's checks I hope that snow keeps off.

Hi All. Driving the car tonight and I start to hear a clunking sound from the rear. I pulled over had a look around, nothing obvious. Its not a continouse sound and there is no pattern to it. The sound is a bit like hitting a big pot with a wooden stick, weird! I can go along the road for a few miles and hear nothing, then suddenly a few random clunks, then nothing for a bit, then a clunk here and there... Anyway, anyone experienced this before? The car is running on Tein Superstreet Coilovers and has a Whiteline 24mm ARB. That's all the mods I have at the rear end. Thanks

utterly disgraceful. Sorry man. I hope the low-life who did this meet a just end.

Don't really know what you're asking Dave. Taking pics of the moon with your lens racked out to 400, shouldn't be a problem. Since the moon is giving off so much light, stick it on manual, ISO 200 with the lowest F number your lens will allow at that range, then set the shutter speed at 1000, shoot it and check the results. If its too dark, then gradually reduce the shutter speed a bit at a time until you get the desired effect. I'd have thought at such a fast shutter speed you wouldn't need a tripod, but if it is still blurred, use a tripod and shoot on timer (this is because the camera will move slightly when press the shutter button). Also, at 400mm your camera will get in tighter with the smaller sensor (1.6 x 400). Oh, I read your post again... are you having trouble auto-focussing? Switch the lens to manual as well and manually focus. Defo best results with a tripod.

That would be 6 mate. Don't forget his leg break put him out of action for a season

That comment really just says it all. Can't take away Boyd's achievment, and I wouldn't want to. However, any one with a nodding aquaintance with the Game of Games, will know not to compare him to Henrik. To do so, is simply to show one's ignorance.

Ha! I have a couple of ideas... watch this space

Boxing Day stroll through the woods

Hahahaha! Thanks! Dunk, I really did make the Morph from a big ball of plasticine I woulda done more, but I ran outta things, like I didn't have anything to make St3ph3ns big red shoes ...

A token gift from Santa; some plasticine, so I thought I would put it to use! Me bored? Sad? You betcha! JC Scoob MORPH Fai17 MORPH Col666 MORPH AndyJDMSTi MORPH Squiggle MORPH TheWelsho MORPH Aberdeen Scoobies MORPH (Sheep Shearers)

cool!

Brilliant! Great find!

Yeah, I can tweak it in CS3 but cant be bothered. I'll do it right next time

Cheers Dunk! I was messing with my camera today and realised I had the WB set to florescent light, idiot! I was shoot with studio strobes and forgot to change it back. I wonder if that affected the blueness, it was pretty bluish/grey anyway

Loch Lommond From Connick hill today: 22 - Dec - 09 Sadly, no nice light to really show the snow off...

Hideous!

Yes, yes and YES!

Jeez! What dedication!
