Hilarious... Saw one the other day from a chap who heard two intruders in the back garden and had the presence of mind to get a camera ready before the outside light was put on and his three large...

I agree. But, having used Tesco 99 sporadically since it became available in my area, I always find it's about 2 mpg worse than other high-octane petrols, all other variables being equal. A friend...

I drive a V70 T5, with a 299 bhp BSR conversion. My general home-to-work-and-pottering-about mpg is 25-26 mpg. I habitually run on Sainsburys 97 RON petrol. I know, I know, but I live a couple of...

Spot the deliberate mistake... RS4, not 6. I know what I meant.. Even if no-one else does.

RS4 has got a 2.7...

Just seen the bhp requests regarding answers.. Fatha's is running at about 380bhp. Stock 0-60 is 4.8s, and the book says 155 limited. Derestricted, the motoring jounos reconed 175 or a bit more on...

Audi RS6. 2.7l twin turbo, Cosworth-developed 6 cyl.. Dad's got one. Exceedingly quick so it is...:shockedbi

Used GSD3 Eagle F1s for the last couple of years on my V70 T5. 225/45 17s. Apart from they rub a bit on full lock (They seem to be marginally wider in track than a lot of other 225s) couldn't be...

Afraid so. V70, then my initials. Ambition is to get on Spotted! Probably in the Sheffield/Worksop/Doncaster/Nottingham areas. Dark Blue V70N. A T5 of course, with a BSR monicker on the back..

Driving home last night. Warning light in dash illuminated, indicating emmissions problem. Now, having tried it this morning, have got same light, plus emmissions system service required message....

Phew! And i though two new front tyres, an aircon re-gas and a new offside indicator lens were a disaster...

My girlie's car (a 2000 S60 2.0T in silver) just went in to Riverside at Doncaster for...

Yes. seemed to work well, although all the fuel treatments (STP, Wynn and RedLine Si-1) seem to work well.

My choice is the Redline Si-1.

Incidentally, the Slick 50 engine/oil additive contains...

Subaru Impreza. Average figure. 16mpg. :jaw:

Agreed. Use Good Year F1s myself and swear by them. Fronts are on 14000 miles, with about 3 mm left. Rears are same milage, and I reckon will last about 40000+. Excellent in the wet, and good in the...

My mate's C70 has had a groaning clutch release bearing for about 16000 miles now.. He's waiting until the clutch itself needs replacing and hasn't had any ill effects as a result.

Obviously, his...

Best ever was 525 miles... Sheffield-Gosport-Sheffield. I was getting a bit nervous roundabout Woodall Services at J30 of the track... the yellow light had been on since Trowell...

That was on 95...

True. My Volvo never, ever, misted up inside (Rain X on the inside and outside of the glass) but, with the wet waether, 2 dogs and all the bootliner/blanket in the back, it does now... Moisture in...

Mansell's Mondeo vs Stone Bridge Pillar was the best one I remember...

Millers XFS 5w50. Fantastic stuff that I've used for years in my old Cosworths. Now doing a stirling job in the Volly. Also use a 250ml bottle of Xtralube ZX1 additive every 12000 or so, and swear by...

A certain colleague, who shall remain nameless, did a similar thing on his advanced driving course - the last hurdle before he became a fully-fledged traffic man - which caused much mirth...

"New Shape" V70s come up for a cambelt change at 90k according to the book.

If it's not had a service for 10000, it would certainly be worthwhile changing the oil and filter and getting ready any...

'Mer' polish and good old Turtle Wax on top. ££££ hot...

I can remember trying my cousin's fruity Evo 6 RS in Norway one time, when it was about -18 or something. A large expanse of deserted, slightly frosted tarmac and about 340 bhp plus loads of dense...

Also a satisfied BSR customer. Had a few teething troubles at the start, but, having run it for a year on my V70 T5, I couldn't be happier with it.

Back windows can be opaque if you want. (Think car-derived vans) Fronts must let 75% through, Windscreen 80%...

Hmmm..

My guess would be that it's running horrendously rich, but a recent mapping session which shows a good fuel/air ratio would scupper that theory; uless the lambda sensor's gone doolally in...
