Torque wrenches should be fairly easy to check though shouldn't they? Stick it in a vice and hang a 20lb weight one foot from the fulcrum .... 20lbf Won't that work?

The carbs are worth way more than the manifold, I sold a pair of 45's on eBay last year and got about £280, I sold them as needing a service and un-verified as they had been off the car for a good number of years. They ended up with some guy in Sweden. Stick them on there for a starting bid of £100 and see where it goes, it's probably your best bet.

70 p / Lt I remember those days

I'm on Three, all you can eat data, 500mins 500 text for £24/mth, I live in the middle of no-where with usually bad cell coverage for most providers but I don't have any issues. People still get through to me Damn it.

Personally I don't drive my car on the main roads like I'm on a race track, yes I have a very fast car ! but it's capabilities far outweigh mine, I know that, so I don't pretend I'm Ayrton Senna. So as long as the tyres meet the required speed rating, last a decent amount of time and don't give me the heebie jeebies every time it rains I'm happy. Saying that, I used to own a Supra TT and put Pirelli Pzeros on it once at a recommendation, now! they did scare me when it rained, they may as well have been made from Teflon, so I've never used them again. Got Toyos on my S4s at the moment and find them perfectly fine, decent price, good reputation, and I'm not parked in a tree, so can't be bad.

Mike! football? it was rugby... the players have different shaped balls. oooeeerrr missssuss! Anyway it's quite simple. If you're like me and want to watch a bunch of idiots doing things with cars that you wished you could do when you were eight years old then watch Top Gear. If you want a boring car show watch Fifth Gear or read a magazine. If you don't like it switch off, no one cares, the program will still air and I'll still have a laugh when it does.

If you click the back button and hold it down a list of previous pages should appear. What's in the list? Works fine for me on my PC in IE

Just posted my speakers on eBay if any other Hi-Fi buffs are interested http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221171379985?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Every one of those crashes was filmed with a dash cam or by a car near the accident that had a dash cam..... In conclusion, dash cams are nothing but bad luck

Pull the connector off the sensor attached to the water pipe near the cam belt, and the gauge should read zero, touch the connector to ground and the gauge should go full scale, easy way to tell if it's the gauge or sender.

Maybe the cross overs have had it, unusual, but possible. I wouldn't really bother trying to find replacements, speakers or cross overs for speakers this old, you can pick up some decent speakers on fleaBay. Just read, both went at the same time.... Most odd unless the speakers have really been overdriven. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mission-773-Main-Stereo-Speakers-/281036585335?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D4200536757826464349%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D2%26sd%3D281012885312%26

I deal with the phone systems that go into a lot of call centres so know how they operate quite well, the trouble is the staff turnover is very high and nobody cares, it's just a means to an end, I had a comment recently from one centre where we needed to do some testing and wanted around 30 agents, the manager phoned us and said "Sorry! it aint going to happen today, It's a nice sunny day and I've already had 9 people phone in sick" Just shows you the kind of attitude the people working in these places have. Sad but true.

I'd be interested if it was around £600 all in, I had one fitted that came from SW Lotus that lasted less than 5 years and had to have another fitted last year, again from SW Lotus, dno they wouldn't accept that it was a bad casting. So I won't be buying another from them if this one goes.
