Re: im back and this time its a d9 lol

the 406 is a bit rough round the edges, but is proving to be unbelievably reliable... makes a nice change :lol:

I was hoping to do it up a little when I first got it, but I like it the way it is now - lots of character :lol:

XU10J2TE problem

Hi Guy, I'm having a small problem with my car :(

from cold, if I start the engine on my SRI and press the throttle lightly it almost stalls...

and even when warm the car can feel a bit "snatchy" sometimes when accelerating from low speeds

one of the sensors ?

coil pack ?

Re: D8 wing replacement failure

I'll have another go this afternoon mate :lol:

funny thing is - on the drivers' side light, the lower plastic lug has been snapped so is hanging free, but the spring is inaccessible

and on the passenger side, the spring is easy to get to but the bolt isn't... DOH :roll:

Re: is this legit

what are you using to decipher the build code if you don't mind me asking ?

I seem to recall there was a program / website that was giving bogus info

edit: not this one i guess :lol:
