Hi,
Is that standard practise for LSD? It sounds to me like the tester just wanted to have a drive in your car! Who can blame him? :)

All the best,
Andrew.

Keep in with him then!
Very few testers seem to understand that!

And yes, it is exactly what they should do!!!

Hi,
Fantastic news, glad to hear it's all sorted, despite the last minute panic. We've all experienced that before! :)
Now it's time to hit the road and enjoy the fruits of your labour! 8-)

All the best,

Thanks Andrew! Defo this weekend!!

Not far from there Steve. Turn right off Adelphi St into Silk St and then Cannon St which runs across the end of Silk St. Place is called HTS and is on Cannon St. Looks to me like they could make a good few bits so I'll be keeping them in the contacts list!

I will be Martin. He was showing me photos of the Capris he's owned over the years before the test. Garage owner also showed me photos of his previous Capris. They knew what they were doing, and knew their Capris, no doubt about that!!

Yep - I`m sure that`s the place! Used to get brake pipes made up there, years ago...

My diff was torqued to 120 ft lb. that was more likely to damage Their rollers than my diff. He was confused when the car came off the rollers on the brake test. He failed in initially for having a welded diff. Then I got a bar on it and showed him it was a propperun.

Hi Mike

For quotes & all code you need the first bit of code in the square brackets, then the message, then the last bit of code in the square brackets. Referred to as 'opening tag' and 'closing tag'
The opening tag for displaying a quote is:
open bracket, quote, closing bracket

THEN THE MESSAGE

Then you need to put a forward slash before the word quote in the closing tag.
Example, with a ROUND BRACKET as the brackets (can't use square or your comp will think it's code)

Thanks Nige. I'm not sure what happened! I've quoted before without a hitch. Must try harder.
