Goats are great.

lol, Dry sump = re finance the house.

Quality, Well done Simon. Thats outstanding! Callum W

Congratulations Pierre! Callum W

They are if you beat someone to death with the limp carcass of one.

No bother at all. Glad to help when I can, and im glad you got sorted. Callum W

I have 1 stud and 9 nuts. Im sure I have more studs than that kicking about but a more advanced search would be required.

If you are looking for the studs give me 5 min to go and look in my shed, if classic studs are the same length as the later ones I may be able to help.

Glad to see you sitting on the fence about that one then, lol. Callum W

Talkinaboot.

A nice compromise. Good luck with it Callum W

Simon, Nice seeing you again today, your car is a credit to you, a very tidy job with more spec than you can shake a stick at. More importantly its been done right. Thanks for answering all my questions and being as blunt as me, I like that. I remember when we were struggling for 350bhp, lol. The next few months should prove very interesting for you, and good luck on Monday. Callum W

Who said I was talking about the Falcon? (Moia hahahahahaha!!) Yup shes got an ODB, but a sexy one Me and uncle Steven are going to hunker down and play the white man. I think its about time I gave the WRC car the power and torque its looks deserve, its got the handling and the brakes, just need the lump now, Injectors, and of course headers blower and down pipe, Ive got everything else, oh, ill need an oil cooler as well. and no doubt loads of other paraphanalia I havent thought about yet, Its exciting. Im going to get the falcon together first but Ill have this running in the background. Callum W

Have a look in your in box Dave.

Very Nice! Cant wait to have a squint under your bonnet, see her go.............then set about moving the goalposts Ill bet she can shift. Callum W

They are spot on. I have dealt with them for years without a glitch. Thier body shop is outstanding as well. Callum W

Hello Johnny, things are good, lol. As Johnny says check the maf as well, this has similar effects but it can also manifest as the car running really rough on start up as well which is an indicator of the maf on its way out. MAFs are dear to buy and hard to find sometimes second hand in good nick so best way to check is find a pal with a similar car and similar MAF and try his on your car and see if it solves the dramas.

If you take the coilpacks out take the rubber protector off the ends and check for hairline fractures on the lip of the packs where the touch the plugs, overtightening them on istallation or servicing can cause them, this causes stuttering. Also its worth getting a decent set and trying them in the car just incase the are shagged or one is shagged, this can cause the stutter. When you tighten the nuts just nip them once they tighten dont crank them down or you will cause problems like fractures. Also take you plugs out and have a look at them maybe they are gubbed???? This has also caused stuttering, replace them with NGK PFR 7B set on a gap of .68 I always found this the best when not running serious boost. If none of this solves the stutter well look at something else. Callum W

Never had this problem as the millenium Falcon will only do 128 mph.

If it was mapped with the BOV fitted then there shouldnt be any issues. If you have fitted it after the remap then its worth checking.

Some very good replies and advice to one and all. I especially like the thought that you have no idea about who may be driving the car you have just abused. Not only for the fact they might be a mentalist, but an incident springs to mind where a member of HM Forces in an unmarked car broke the golden rule and abused another motorist. The driver and passenger turned out to be the Chief Constable of the PSNI and his aid. To say his feet never touched the floor after that would be an understatement.

I employ the locals to do these trivial tasks Andrew, they use the Range Rover Sports, normally the Bollinger Paris/Dakar hybrids. I have no idea how many I own, Ill check with my factor. Would you like one?

This will hopefully provoke some good debate. If it decends into tripe I would ask the Admin gods to spirit it away but I dont think that will be needed. I put my hand up and admit that in the past I for one have been guilty of driving in a spirited manner unlikely to be embraced by uniformed inhabitants of a certain HQ in Helen St. However I dont push the bubble any more in public, and screw the nut on public roads, if I do decide to progress now its always within the law and to the System. Those of you that know what Im talking about will agree its far safer. I recently bought a "disposable car" a wee 800cc fiat which wouldnt pull the skin off a custard but which is good for nipping about at work and saves the big car from short trips and carpark dings. Over the past week I have driven in stealth mode, never broken any motoring laws and clocked up about 500 miles in this car. Despite being conciderate I have been abused, almost run off the road and had about 7 near misses due to other road users in too much of a hurry. I havent reacted in normal Wilky style to any of these incidents but mearly made a mental note of them. When I drive in a similar style in my other car ( Blue S9 bodied JDM STI) I get none of the above. It makes me think twice now when I see a young woman, old dear, or normal person in a wee car and I give them room at junctions and a chance at roundabouts, on the motorway I always make effort not to break the two second rule, in the big car everyone steers clear, in stealth mode I get everyone right up my hole, especially lorries. Why does everyone have a vendetta against small cars? And why does everyone have it in for drivers of smaller cars? I am seriously concidering giving one of these people the shock of thier life, lol. Athough we all know that wouldnt solve anything. I throw the subject to the shop floor..................................???? Callum W

I am by no means a master. There are many people who are more technically gifted and know far more than me. I simply talk from experience or from having observed. If I dont know or I get it wrong Ill always try and find out from someone who does.

You have Gumballs old car yes? That car had no issues with the dump valve it was sold to you wearing. I remember him checking. Callum W
