Well, I suppose you could do it by forcing the wastegate open, although why you'd want to is another matter. I had a circlip come off the wastegate actuator on my old Bluebird ZX and that happened (thought I had trashed the turbo), it drove like a pig with no boost.. don't forget, turbo engines generally run much lower compression ratios than N/A engines, so with no boost you end up with a gutless N/A motor.... Just make her pay for the petrol.. that'll slow her down! Cheers, Plug

Excellent. Cheers, Plug

Well done! 3 years off sick Hope it works out for you. Cheers, Plug

B*gger me, the rail network is in an even worse state than I thought.... Cheers, Plug

After going to the MOT station today, my next call was to the Shell garage to fill up (as it was running on fumes ). My good mood swiftly evaporated as I was confronted with a pump saying 102.9p a litre How much is it round your way? Grrrrr.... Plug

Took the old girl down to the test station this morning... Sailed though without a single advisory Here's to another 12 months of Scoobydom... Cheers, Plug

That's about all it's got in my one. Helpful, I don't think. Cheers, Plug

It's that Brian Harvey out of E17 showing off again.. Cheers, Plug

Hi, I've got a set of Champion RC8PYP platinum tipped plugs that I bought to put in my previous scooby.. they never got used. 3 years old but I hardly imagine they've got a shelf life. Think they cost me about £45, but yours for a tenner plus postage if you want them.. Cheers, Plug

That made me laugh after a sh!tty day, thanks. Cheers, Plug

Coming soon to a reality near you... (and don't think it isn't) Cheers, Plug

1st or 2nd cambelt? The 2nd change is at the 90000 mile service, which is eye-wateringly expensive.. over £700 for my standard UK turbo HTH, Plug

Sad news

Oooh bugger.. Oh well, a bit of melted wiring, no-one got hurt. Back to the drawing board.. Cheers, Plug

Hello Ben, That's a photo of an IDE drive.. 40 pins on the data connector. 4 pins for the power, the section in the middle is for jumpers to configure the drive as a master/slave if necessary. SATA drives connect with a 4 pin connector, I think the power connectors are smaller as well. Cheers, Plug

Don't like the graphics and the crappy rear spoiler would definitely have to go. Apart from that, would make a nice Q-car.. Cheers, Plug

7 years old 73,000 miles Absolutely, 100%, bog standard. That must make it unique Cheers, Plug

Hmm.. I've just some computer hardware delivered... 9 days after it was sent on a 48 hour service. Nice to know it's not just me.. I thought the Post Office was harbouring a grudge or something. Cheers, Plug

Yet another one from the Viva school of crap motoring.. 1968 SL90 in a sort of matt blue with a side order of rust.. lovely black vinyl bucket seats. They used to heat up to the surface temperature of the sun when it was parked up in summer Cheers, Plug

Lol, I thought you were going to say you'd rolled it!! Looks good Cheers, Plug

Oh well, if we're having a pop... Cheers, Plug PS it's not a photo of Kim...

Depends if it's right or left hand drive Cheers, Plug

10 minutes... No wonder the fuel consumption is so poor, it only ever gets warmed up properly at the weekends.. Cheers, Plug

I wouldn't expect too much for that kind of money but there are a few out there.. Here's one from the Trader, to pick an example at random... doesn't look too bad, recent cambelt. Probably got a few miles left in it. Cheers, Plug

Me! Guess what I'll be wasting my time on this weekend... Cheers, Plug
