Re: First Car..........

I know she wants yellow, but to be fair the NCAP rating should be the first selection criteria; My mum had one of the small citroens and the bonnet folded when our cat jumped on it. The cat was an egyptian tabby without a smudge of excess weight. Hate to think what would have happened in a real crash.

Re: Possible humour.

A moth flies into a dentist's office. He sits on the chair and the dentist asks him "Can I help you?" The moth answers "Well I've been cheating on my wife with a spider. Things are rough at home, the kids are 5 and 3, the young one is having a really hard time communicating and it's making him very ...

Re: D4 ATF Change

I take it the thermostat is buried deep inside the bowels of the transmission and cannot be temporarily removed like you would a water one? Or if it's a controlled solenoid valve rather than a wax disc, perhaps IID can convince it to open? Just thinking out loud. Stu; how easy is it to access the su...

Re: Timing Belt Locking Pins ....

I'm not aware that the club has such a set, but unless you're a real expert at changing the belts without accidentally moving the crankshaft, you'll also need to lock the flywheel which requires an extra part.
