Asked the mechanic about gearbox mounts, they have checked and they seem ok. If the box comes out they will really know I guess. Rubber donut thingy is ruled...
Hi cain, That is the theory about pulling out the lamabada sensors. If the vibration goes away we have to start thinking the cats are blocked/stuffed or the...
Thanks David. It's amazing how you can drive these things keeping the revs below 2000rpm and still stay ahead of the traffic. I'm driving 1 or 2 gears higher...
Andrew, there was a Top Gear episode on recently where Jeremy was driving a Corvette Z06. He took off in 5th ... yup 5th. And was able to get it to 150mph...

Andrew, Have you checked all the coil units, and the the injector flow rates?Perform a compression test, dry then wet , and a leakdown test while the coils...
Lets not forget, gentlemen, that "lugging" an engine puts far more stress on the bottom end than revving it does. As for 150mph on runways - an 18 year-old...
Hi Ian, Nothing happened to cause the vibration that I know of. It just started very mildly then over 2-3 weeks got more pronounced. Haven't done the tests you...
Andrew, you have said that it has ingested some water. Where did it come from, how much and what circumstances. It does not take much water in the combustion...
Hi Ian, Its only a worst case scenario that it has drunk some water. We are not sure. I certainly don't remember driving through any deep water. Your reasons...
Hi Andrew, I recall you mentioning a while back that you also had a shudder / noise from the clutch?? Is this still the case? These cars do sometimes suffer...
Hi Andrew, Sorry to hear you are having problems, I think you first need to know, Is it an engine misfire or an imbalance, that would narrow it down. If its a...
Hi, Ok as far as I know it has not been for a swim and had a small hydraulic but my mechanics keep asking that ugly question as we have had a lot of rain and...
Hi all, Apologies for the delay, but the photos of No 8 have now been added. Enjoy! Scott ... On Behalf ... himself in ... there. ... and is ... yahoo.com. ......

Looks great. I really do love the Techno-violet. They look fabulous in the flesh - as mentioned. What sort of front bar does it have? Cheers David #62 ... ...
Hi All, #2 urgently requires new/overhauled front suspension. Can anyone suggest options open to me, other than new items from BMW? And does anybody know if...

Hi there David I think had somone in Melbourne that can rebuild them. I had mine done over two years ago and it cost me nearly 5k. Hope David can find you the...

Am I right in thinking this guy has blown up the motor in his M5 so he is just scraping the whole car ?? It can't be that expensive to rebuild an M5 E34 engine...
