Following my recent trip to Lincolnshire, I can see why Opti needs more power.  Everyone drives at 35mph until you go to overtake, when they boot it.

This happened countless times in one weekend.

It took weeks for all the soot stains to disappear from my hands after that!

But it was worth it, as it went like the clappers* afterwards, once I'd freed off the wastegate on the turbo again


*Well, all things are relative, it went better than it ever had, but was never gonna win races

Enlightening.

Coil packs are one of those items that I have found are better to buy decent quality, the cheaper stuff either generates less energy and/or doesn't last as well

Ok I partially take it back. I found a little shiny spring on the ground next to the car. And it wasn’t in the coil pack 

The Haynes manual states GM 1940768 for 1999 onwards, although it only covers models up to 1999. I would say you'll be fine with that oil, but someone with more knowledge will probably be along shortly 

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed...

I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'

'No,' she answered.

I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'

She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'

So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And that's when the fight started...

TRW are owned by ZF, who also own Sachs Boge, so they could well be the same shocks as the Sachs

It took weeks for all the soot stains to disappear from my hands after that!

There's an environmental argument against such low speeds as vehicles simply aren't designed to travel so slowly... Not to mention the fact that localised pollution is increased by virtue of traffic build up.

Lundun being a case in point as localised pollution increases in direct proportion to each drop in traffic speed/flow.

Yet, some motorways have displayed the Matrix boards to reduce the speed limit to 60mph to 'improve air quality' (supposedly)...the M1 near Sheffield being one 

That's just ended because......work this one out.....air quality has improved. Now, has it improved because of the speed reduction, in which case why increase it again? Or is it just magic?

Or was it because all the traffic took a different route because that one was too slow?

It was 60mph instead of 70 between two junctions on the M1 at Tinsley.

Or was it because there are less of the pre Euro 4 emissions vehicles about now rather than the speed.........(including lorries)
