Quote from morpha :

My car's manual clearly states that bump starting is NOT fine. I don't know the internal workings of a catalytic converter but I'm not going to ignore what the manufacturer says about the product, especially not based on the personal opinion of someone I don't even know. If that makes me a moron in your eyes, so be it.

And, if I may ask, how do you know your cat is still fine and doing what it's supposed to do?

its all to do with them covering there backsides, there problem is with unburnt fuel and tbh if you dont take forever to bump it it will be fine. at the vauxhall garage i work at they are forverer bumping cat equiped cars

lol sam

today, today, today or today?

i rekon it was today

ohhh i like those sam

number 3 is my favorite and as useual im not quite sure why but there all great

tbh having to call the rac out cos you battery is dead and just needs a jump and a decent run is a bit embarasing and a waste of time when you can easily do it yourself in a couple of mins

as for jump leads unless your trying to use them to start large engines you dont need anything heavy duty. one thing with jump leads is that its a good idea to connect the negative to the engine block, this is to stop the battery exploding cos a spark from the jump lead has ignited hydrogen coming fromt he battery, although i never do and it is a rare ocurance it can happen. starter/jump packs are ok but in some cases they wont start some cars and are a bit bulky.

one thing i will say is dont go anywere near these start through the cigarette lighter socket systems cos they either put a low current through and take ages or push the electrical system alot and still take a while before there is enough charge in the battery.

other stuff to keep in the car are things like first aid kits, warning triangle, possibly hivis jacket but mainly a wind up tourch with a mobile phone charger integrated in it

we have been known to go further, on the london to brigton land rover run we took a whole box of tools incase we came across a sticken classic landy or something lol

for once, I agree with you. It's fantstic, but wouldn't it just get washed off right away?

but that isnt the point of it, its like the guys who do art in the sand on beaches, art for arts sake

i dont have a usual thing for breakfast, had a packet of crisps thius morning, as im home all day i tend to eat what i want when i want it

to get a car that dirty isnt hard, you just have to use your imagination

lol the is a sinclair spectrum, mega drive and a game gear kicking about out house along with a 'fat' ps2 and the ps3 plus a wii and yes they all still get played on, olympics on the spectrum is hilarious

lol dunno if they would with mine cos its over 2 years old and has been open a couple of times now trying to fix it, if they still do after that wohoo

and no i havent emailed em yet, will do tonight lol

have just reconnected it after having it apart and now 1st,3rd and 5th register fine but it registers all bottome gate gears(2nd 4th and 6th) as 6th gear.

im with vigin and argree with both moose and sam, their fup is absolutely shite but the service is otherwise fast and reliable, reliability for me is my main concern as for my schooling atm i require the internet so can have random down times or suddent extreme slow up like alot of the teachers do on who are on bt

new lens for my 450D i also bought a uv filter on saturday

its not a case that i dont want a patch i could just see, using not many braincells, that the servers dont need taking down to integrate a new patch therefore showing it is genuine server maintanience

i want to see brawn gp do well, the best would be to see them absolutly walk all over ferrari

yh they do, seems like the maintainance worked

and rofl at anyone stupid enough to think a patch was coming

well tbh updating lfs manual could be done without taking it down at all and the other 2 wouldnt take that long, they never have when updating for other patches even with new cars (fbm) so i say its just inoccent server maintanence

yh im gonna fire logitech off an email now if they will sell me a replacement unit im suspecting it to be quite expencive lol

edit: ill email em tomorrow lol cos i need the s/n and cant be asked to get out of bed to go and read it off my wheel lol

looks like they only send to the us not the uk grrr

my shifter has finally had it so im looking to either replace the shifter or the whole package so if anyone has got either for sale or knows where it is best to buy one ide be very thankful

also did they update the shifter design in the newer ones(rev b?)

ide love to see mclaren and brawn at the front, mainly cos i want brawn gp to smash ferrari this year lol

usb power cable? you should have a seperate dc power supply with that connects to the wheel via a bullet connector

edit: and the other light only comes on when you go from h gate to sequential shifter mode

lol 15mpg aint that bad when doing all that, weve got a 3.9v8 discovery 1 and when my dad was using that for work(on site it support for the nhs) he was getting 15mpg(the highest we got it was 19 on the london to brighton run) if he was lucky but luckily the milage payment covered it, hes now using an audi a6 avant 1.8 that does 30 odd

edit: oh and dougie towing things isnt just about power etc the vehicle you are using has to weigh enough and if you get trailer snaking on you the heavier the tow vehicle the less you are to crash, the basic laws of phisics dictate that

lol yh maybe, the bmw diesel they put in the p38 (second gen) range rover was a total fail but its not too bad when its a v8
