Sounds like a wizard wheeze! Similar fitting issues with my leather S-type seats and, even when finally in, the base of the seat scrapes along the floor in a horrible seat/grit/aluminium interface.

Will probably give it a go.

Actually, I would alter the thought process a bit. Rather than worrying about ultimate brakes and sticky tyres, I would start by approaching the whole thing as a "brisk drive on an unfamiliar country road", and really get to know the place before any heroics.

(found the place really scary the first time!)

Jim

.....every time I see one of these

No, I don't know why either.

Wrong forum, but I don't care

Stupid question (not based on experience, but O-level physics):-

Wouldn't heating the bolt tighten it rather than loosen it?

Jim

Thanks Pierson & RJ

All other USB applications work fine (printers, camera connection, joysticks etc) so could be u/s stick - I'll try a different one.

As you suggest, I would expect a later bit of kit to be backwards compatible.

My home PC is unable to recognise a memory stick when plugged into a USB port, either for retreiving info or saving.

A number of people have suggested that if my PC is a few years old (it is) it may not recognise a newer-generation memory stick.

A. Is this true? - sounds a bit odd

B. How can I get the PC to recognise up to date sticks?

C. Failing B., can I get hold of "older generation" memory sticks.

Guidance from a boffin would be much appreciated.

The Quaife box can take at least 1 sec off the 0-60 time - excellent.....

If ECR does not want it, I do! Where are you, or do you know how much would it be to send?

Thanks Jim

Sorry - smartarse observation:

Surely the length of con rod does not affect the capacity??

No mail received - I've tried mailing you!

Jim

Yes please, if still available. £10 to NtL OK?

Cheers

Audi 2.0 TDI:

When starting, if I release the ignition key immediately the engine fires, it runs really roughly for half a minute or so. If I keep the key turned only for about one second longer, it starts fine and runs absolutely fine thereafter.

Any ideas what the problem could be?
