Bristol to Camberley
That's a fair old distance, and you won't be doing it (legally) on the motorway if you have to use a stiff bar.
AS far as i know... using a rigid tow bar(sprung or not) there is no limit to the distance you can tow motorway or other however it is not recommended due to needeing some one else in the towed car

.......
The main rule with them is dont buy the petrol engine versions!  ;D

I know it's a Ford engine (Ford is the 1st thing you see when you lift the bonnet) but the V8 seems to look good ......at least on paper.  ::)  ::)  ;)

Thirsty and underpowered....although at least its rear wheel drive.


the 75 was rover's last bid to produce a decent car for the middle managment types it failed only the v8 is rear wheel drive detuned ford unit only 260bhp.
oil burners are the dest ones to go for but as already said cramped inside given its size and next to no aftercare/parts garentee

as my missus only lets me put in £10 worth at a time ;D

running a car low on fuel can have an adverse effect on you wallet as it can cause blocking of fuel filters due to the sludge in the tank sloshing about as you drive.this it very true of cars older than 5 years as the crossion inside the tank gets worse over time imho

fuel light on pre facelift comes on with approx 5 litres fuel in tank fuel light flashes when fuel drops to 2 litres according to the manual. However the brain of the unit bases its thoughts on how the car has been driven over the previous 50 miles,so if you are light footed you would go further.
Has anyone noticed that when you fill up your tank if you watch the range left if you are on a steady cruise it will go up if it states you have 186 miles left and you go 50 miles on cruise control you could have 213 mile range left however if you floor it and use the power it drops sharply

We are the parts supplier a bunch of muppets, not mechanic.  We can try our best to help with generic questions, but it is best to consult a professional turbocharger installer with specific questions.

There are no installation instructions included.  The install is simple and most customers install it themselves in a weekend.

PMSL  ;D

The piping needs to be fitted up.  Because of the bends and couplers included, it should be simple.

PMSL again.  :D

capable of producing well beyond 485 horsepower at 25+ PSI*

*- When this $1k collection of junk is bolted onto a $25k blueprinted engine.

I wonder who would try to fit this to their car,it only has 1 turbo and as such would be unbalanced on a v6 motor or do i have it wrong in thinking that you would need 2 on a v6 1 per cylinder block

Very nice..... BUT ..... I reckon the Lotus Carlton beat that.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.  :) :y

The Lotus Carlton was the fastest production saloon when it was made and remained the fastest until 2003/4
0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds
0 to 100 in 11.1 seconds
176 mph
and in my opinion the best vauxhall ever made
 ;D :y

General Car Chat / Re: Mixing Nitrogen & Air
« on: 02 June 2009, 22:34:53 »
nitrogen in tyres instead of air the only benifits of this are better control over pressure normally used only in race cars thats is f1 and nascar cos its lighter than air not really any benifit for road use. as for mixing air and nitrogen the only down side to it is after pumpin your tyres up over 2 weeks the nitrogen will be gone

Was it proved that the man died directly from being shoved to the ground though? It was an assault yes, but was it responsible for killing him?


The finding by the inquest jury;

3.42pm: The court was caught unaware by the jury's quick decision. They returned to the room and answered four short questions, known as the inquisition.

What was the name of the deceased?

Ian Tomlinson.

What was the cause of his death? Injury or disease?

Abdominal haemorrhage due to blunt force trauma to the abdomen in association with cirrhosis of the liver.

If the person died of injury, what were the circumstances?

Mr Tomlinson was on his way home from work on the 1st of April 2009 during the G20 demonstration. He was fatally injured at around 19.20pm on Royal Exchange Buildings ... This was the result of a baton strike from behind and a push by the officer which caused Ian Tomlinson to fall heavily.

The jury said both the baton strike and the push were "unreasonable".

"As a result, Mr Tomlinson suffered internal bleeding which led to his collapse within a few minutes and his subsequent death." The jury decided that at the time of the strike and push Tomlinson was was walking away from the officer and "posed no threat".

What is the jury's conclusion as to the death?

Unlawful killing.

When I was in uniform I policed civil disturbances many times the complexity and violence of that demonstration and I can say that I would have found it impossible to justify the assertive action Constable Harwood sadly decided to employ against Ian Tomlinson.


im pretty sure that if you assult someone and they die then it is murder. and ihere is a time line to determin this within the written law.

the pc should be dismissed and imprisoned.
