Gents, I'm new to this game and after some sound advice... I've got a noisy alternator in my Rover 45, resulting a high pitch whine on my speakers... anybody know a remedy? Many thanks Jay

why can I not get a decent quote on the T5R? cheapest I've got it still £7 more than the sierra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then they say that they won't cover it unless it's garaged so where do I leave the sierra then? sod it, I'll just buy a scooter and save myself loads of moolah (or get myself that nice Scorpio ultima that's going down the road for £3k :) ) --

Previously, , Nom dipped their finger in oil and wrote: First change is I'm wanting to do away with the middle lap seat-belt at the back, and put in a standard shoulder-fitting one. I don't know if this is even a possibilty, it's just I'm not sure how safe the lap-belts are. Excellent - so you're concerned for their safety...

I have just started a web site about modifying standard mk4 escorts. It will include a photo gallery where i will put your pictures of your cars you send me, and any mods you've done to them. It includes a message board, and i am working on a how-to section. Try it out. http://mk4escort.t35.com

Finally got me new wheels after a 2 month wait: http://www.creationfactor.net/cars/index2.htm When I took my old ones off I checked and they had an offset of ET35. The new wheels are ET42. That problem I had with the scraping or grinnding when turning hard right is still there but I don't think it is any worse than it was (and the tyres have increased from 215/40 to 215/45). I need to get...

Hi. I'm new to theis group so apologies if this is the same old questions or if its the wrong group! I just bought a clio and was wondering about changing the lights on it. Its a 2000 model (front lights = 3 spots in a row) and i was looking at possibly changing the lights to the white/transparent version you see on a lot of cars. Even if anyone can point me in the direction of some sites i...

Now I've finally got a car with a bit of power behind it*, I'd really like to learn how to drive properly on a track. I'm reluctant to go straight into a "Run What You Brung" kindof day straight off in case I do any serious damage (don't know how likely this is?). Ideally I'd like to be able to do some track driving with someone in the car to advise/demonstrate, anyone know places that do this?...

Insurance for my GTi-R just increased by 800quid, so until I decide what to do with it, I've just bought a 1996 Saab 9000 turbo. Anyone got any experience of tweaking a little more power from these? I notice it has a recirculating dump-valve, but no intercooler so assume the boost level is quite low. What boost do these run standard and what is a safe increase, if any? Cheers, Aaron.
