General Discussion Area / Re: Abu Dhabi F1 wont contain spoilers

« on: 12 December 2021, 16:48:00 »

For many years it was dull watching the same car/driver always wining but to effectively give the lead car on the last lap a 10 second penalty and have the second car on new tyres(albeit with some lucky strategy) be allowed to pull up level for the final lap ....no thats just wrong in any book .

Not keen on either driver or team but that wasnt how it should end ...not right

Well that was a total circus and should be null and void and re run.

4 laps to go ...Hamilton some 10 seconds ahead of Verstappen then crash and VSC..All seems quite sane ,but then 1 lap left and they are both side by side....cant see thats right .

I would suggest its a re run

Put a bit of thick grease or even blu tack into the socket is useful.

There is just enough room to feed a 1/4 extension bar with a deep socket through the gap under the headlight where you have removed the trim section.A good strong led torch is needed to see the bolt and allow the socket to be feed onto it .Its not very tight so little effort removing.Refitting is the reverse but again ideal to secure the bolt into the socket as explained above.

Finally be careful when you remove the assembly as the leg which you have just removed the hidden bolt from is quite flexible but can snap if pulled too hard.

Sunroof is doing the phantom opening and closing ,
Have removed magnetic disc and cleaned with switch cleaner but hasn’t resolved issue,
As sunroof rarely if ever used am happy to disconnect it permenantly.
Where is the relay or is it on a separate fuse

I spent around £800 couple of years ago on a full front end rebuild and never regretted spending it as car drives like a dream,and still does hence my reluctance to get rid of it despite the body wounds on the NS.

Still only get around 9 months out of a £450 set of tyres but thats mileage not wear

Needs to be carbon filter with electronic climate control ,but would of expected easy enough to buy sub £20 even of fleagay....bosch or meyle would be my choices ...think mine fitted is bosch as tend to replace every year or so

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: S/L Headlight “screwed” in place?

« on: 29 August 2021, 17:06:30 »

Ali ones have long since gone as guy who made them has no further stock.You might find the resin type with a google search or maybe a forum member has a couple they would part with .

Looks like your light has suffered the adjuster causing the internals to bounce around and been repaired with a screw holding it tight

State if the roads I imagine doesn’t help .

I’m happy to replace springs just wanted to ensure I get Heavy Duty this time as unsure about the last pair and think 50k with weight I lug around isn’t too bad a life span .

Also as haven’t had 3 extra people in car and luggage for past 2 years maybe it’s just my memory of how long things last now

Thanks for offer J
Lots of pipework also removed and little hope of finding new SL shocks hence my decision a few years ago to run stock std .
Car normally runs just driver but with around 2 adults weight in boot .
Holiday luggage similar weight so 2 adults in back with weight of a further 2 in boot !!

No they are std non SL springs in it at present but Lesjors? Think that’s how it’s spelt as advised to avoid KYB,s last time

Just curious about how much a spring lost its strength over 2 years
