OMG it's TVs now, Samsung are the new evil megacorp. http://gu.com/p/4cq4e?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Where's it going to end :scare:

Easy there Linus Thorvalds with your technical wizardry talk

Maybe they weren't the only one, den den derrrr http://gu.com/p/4czfg?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Must go like stink! Congrats

Little extra cheese on the taco?

Well, I'm sure they have enough money to sort it out but it's a complete public relations disaster...how much long term damage will this have done to their reputation? Pete It's an interesting question Pete. For me, and I'm assuming a few on here, I don't buy cars because of their emissions or tax band. So it would't cross my mind if I was considering a VAG car in the future, not like a major safety recall might. That said, I saw some guy on the news talking about how "cheated" he was and that he bought his VW "due to the clean credentials" (a diesel for cleanliness, really?), so perhaps some people will. Though, I couldn't really decide if the chap was being disingenuous because he sniffs some compo from VAG. I bet most people will still buy a golf because it sounds like a golf

Not just you at all, it's a stupid test designed to make stupid consumers feel better about their stupid purchases. So what are you saying?

More goodies arrived today, got a whole bunch of mods lined up ready for my next trip to the tech Shocks and spring, thank you Ewen @ Clark Motorsport ARBs and drop links, thank you Octet @ Torqen Shiny plenum, thank you MopedMark New steering wheel, as above ^^^ Super exicted!

You'll be saying Windows XP is out of support next YOU DAM DIRTY GEEKS!!!

From a Test Strategy point of view am I the only one who naively thinks that setting a Test Criterion of "Produce X amount of badness at Y rpm" is actually the root cause of this problem? Rather then evil megacorp?

I read they found 6 billion down the back of the sofa for sorting the mess out, probably only affect one year's results.

Anyone got any technical info into what they're actually going to do during the recall to "fix" it? Just re-map them to death until they do 0-60 in 30 minutes like a good old fashioned diesel?

I really like the leaf for what it is, cheap to run commuter/trip to the shops cruncher, they're a nice place to sit in traffic. The app that goes with it is cool too, so you can fire up the heater in the winter before getting in. Enjoy!

Can you tell me the lists of all the service parts you got there? As I am due to p3 full service in 6 weeks. Thanks. Errr, there's quite a bit. 5 litres of OEM coolant, 6 litres of titan pro engine oil (5w-30?), PAS fluid (same as OEM auto transmission fluid I think, but check that), couple of litres of brake/clutch fluid, OEM diff fluid, OEM gear oil, HKS panel filter, HKS oil filter, some molyslip and a partridge in a pear tree Easiest option is to and get a P3 kit. I think I got my engine oil from Opie and the HKS goodies from somewhere else, though you can also get a cosworth panel and OEM oil filter more easily/cheaply. I also got some stuff from Cougar Store - http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_12 If you're going the whole hog, why not get some belts and spark plugs too! I've not used a bad trader on here yet and most of them can supply some/all of the stuff if you get in touch.

You can always mix things up if there's a big group, have a funner car or two mixed in with some RV action and swapperoony around so everyone gets a go in the truck and with the muscle!

As per Rock_Steady, go for the spacers as they're so cheap you'd be mad not to try them first. They didn't fix it for my Berks but they have done for some. Ultimately, sounds like a good excuse for an UpRev and getting the CEL disabled.

No need to worry, they'll be illegal by the time the next election comes round

Great route I loved the San Fran, San Diego, Vegas triangle. Ragtop Camaro FTW, you just squeeze three men and light luggage in! The three of us booked the first hotel and the last one, all the others we just barrelled up at night to hotels & motels. There was only one night where we even came close to sleeping in the car and that was in SF. Did the same thing in The Deep South and only got one raw deal, Gainesville, WORST MOTEL EVER. Smelt of murder, empty pool with growing algae, 110 degrees at night with a rattley AC unit that didn't blow cold air and sheets with bloodstains

That may well have been us http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/101839-anyone-up-for-a-static-get-together/ Are you following the North West Region? http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/75-north-west/

Did you have to pay any import tax when it arrived? Any fitting issues? Fitment is spot on for my DE and the sender wrote it was worth nothing on the box, so no duty

I just bit the bullet and had the whole arm done. If you do the bush, it's bound to be the ball joint.

Another impressive project Andy, you've got the skills to pay the bills Shame you can't put a lightweight linux distro on there

The dew on the paint left a mixture of teeny tiny microbeads, about size of a pin head, mixed in with some big ones. I couldn't resist an iPhone snap These formed on Gyeon WetCoat ❤️

Nearly as nice looking as that '70!
