Well, reconnected the whole system this morning, and went for a drive. Indeed so far no stuttering at all like before. I do get the idea that the ECU is still getting used to the whole thing as idle is a little higher than it used to be, but on the whole a very satisfying experience to drive around...

captive/captivated/captured nuts refers to the whole style of nut, in that the fastener is 'captive'.....it doesnt just mean that theres say a 10mm square nut in a fastener.....
each type probably has its own colloquial name...i dont know.....j nuts, u nuts, theres loads...

lol...its just dawned on me.... the classic in classic insurance refers to the owner, not the car.....the older and more classic you are, the cheaper it gets lol. im *cough* older, and pay hardly owt to be honest compared to some of you young whippersnappers......get old soon!! volvo owners insuranc...

you can get oem ones that fit you know.....just buy one from a car spares motor factor type place....you can always dismantle it a bit, and refit the 480 top and mounting bits to make it look the same.

Excellent, well, I thought Half an hour would be enough, ( it was on my little Citroen AX Gti ) But I'll leave it overnight then !! Shopping on the bike... and its raining too.... :badmood: I'll report the results tomorrow ! i dont know really if theres a minimum time limit....sure someone will. ov...

i know this may sound really simple, and i dont think you mentioned it, but.... do a reset on the car....take off the battery terminals to reset the ecus. it could be this? simple i know, but large apparent problems have been solved by doing just this. you need to leave the battery unplugged for a f...

its a good idea really.....

Any piccys of the 440? Is this the in-law's one that had the bodykit?? If it isnt, wanna buy one? ;) I like the C30 too, wasnt sure at first but its growing on me. Only the top models though. Theres a poverty model c30 on a local industrial estate and it looks very dated. dan, and roo... yes it has...

get it as high up as possible, and gently steam clean the entire underneath...take off the silly plastic inner arches, and blast all those out too....make sure you clean round the lip on the arches.... then fully dry off the whole underneath....then underseal/waxyoil/ or old motor oil, whatever you ...

well.....as JT has said....40 shy of perfect.......but it aint a bad car to be honest.....bit sluggish due to single point injection methinks, but not bad....did a reset on the ecu and that made a difference.....demon driver she wasnt (isnt), and i think the car had got used to 12 years of pootling ...

so...looking at esure stats....i wonder if it occurred to them that percentage wise and statistically, its got bag all to do withthe name other than there probably more people called 'jason' than say 'marmaduke' hence the chances of a jason haveing a crash are higher than say a marmaduke? christ, ta...
