  1. Do you have an aftermarket stereo fitted? Are your rad fans actually working? I'm going with no after the last line, so get those sorted as a separate issue to the battery drain.
  2. ...but you can't legally use them here.

    Safest thing to do. You don't want that virus spreading to your phone or PC!

    Spacer too large >.<

    I was more wondering if the wheels would still clear the brakes, at least that way you can measure exactly what spacer you'd need as the wheel would be on the car.

    Hope you get your iPad fixed soon dude

    Hmmm. Daft question, but do they fit with no spacer on at all?
  7. Could be anything at all, without reading the code it's impossible to know or even take a logical guess. I could ask a bunch of questions to try and take a stab, but I reckon I'll wait until you've read the code to make both our lives easier
  8. There's a field down the road, they can go graze in that

    Same as me then, and I've not been notified yet either. Looks like they're hitting the big users first.

    Hope your cat is okay dude.
  11. First of all, don't just reset the CEL, read the code and find out what the car thinks the problem is. That said, sounds very much like it could be a battery issue, I'd get that tested and possibly look to replace if it's around the 5 year old mark.

    They have millions of accounts, it will take time to get round to everyone especially once word got out at everyone started hammering their servers to download pics. Col, how many images do you have in your account roughly?

    We tried that via PM a few weeks back, they're TE37s and don't have the offset stamped anywhere, which is really helpful of them. Has to be the old-fashioned measuring route I'm afraid.

    I reckon start again before doing anything else. First off I'd take some pics and let us judge how excessive it is right now, and then take some pics of you measuring the offset, see if we can work out what went wrong.
  15. It's called OCD, and I'm totally on that train too Bumper tuck sorts it, or a replacement bumper that doesn't have two cut outs.
  16. I agree, you shouldn't have to reset anything however it's a quicker solution than pulling the plugs again, so I'd do that first. Use the guide on here rather than anywhere else, members have found that to work without complaint. I wouldn't touch the butterfly for cleaning just yet, no need to add another variable into the mix.
  17. Cool, just wondering. Tbh if you're sure the intake is 100% and you've done the various TB reset procedures (which you need to do next), then you're going to have to pull the plugs and refit. They're the only other thing you've touched, so logical to believe that it's them at fault.

    Yeah, need the details dude. Spacer sizes too.
  19. I can only assume they ran the business model for that and it didn't work. Personally I reckon it was storage and bandwidth that they were trying to cut down on, and as long as they achieved that then they'd live with the fallout.
  20. When I said soooooon, I mean like over a year later obvs Bored of the Prodrive exhaust now, as it's great but just a little too quiet for my tastes these days, I volunteered to pay for an exhaust 'upgrade' on Jo's car. Nothing fancy and certainly nothing too loud as it's got to be her DD and she'd kill me if it droned, so I went for an Afterburner Vortex made by Hayward & Scott. Cheap enough to not worry if the quality isn't all there (although it's H&S and they're normally spot-on), I went to get this fitted during the week. Straight forward 30min job yeah? No. Once I eventually found my axle stands buried in the are-end of the garage (why on earth did I put when under a box of cushions for the garden?!), got the car up and gave the bolts a Plusgassing. Tried to get a grip on one, no dice as it was caked in mud and road crap. Proper hard stuff. Grrr. No probs, I think to myself, I'll go grab a small screwdriver and chip it away. Still much tougher than I expected, until I look again and realise that I'm not chipping away mud, I'm chipping away actual centre pipe flange... And I didn't buy that. Eeep! Emergency stop before I do any real damage luckily, and a new resonated centre pipe on order. Bit irritating as I wanted that done for this weekend, but hey ho. Will have to get a new flange welded on there at some point, as it's the PPP one I want to keep it for the provenance of the car when/if she ever sells is. Also picked up some new wheel bolts as the locking ones were stating to resemble cheese, and some new brake pads too as the current ones are getting a bit low. I love the Brembo calipers on these, makes changing the pads a breeze. TL;DR I'll get some more pics up when I fit the exhaust. Sweardown.
  21. Unfortunately this whole thing will only work out well for one entity: Photobucket. Think about it, they've had thousands of user remove all their pics from the site, which immediately cuts down on storage costs. No more linking either, so down comes the bandwidth bill. All they're left with is a group of people happy to pay ridiculous rates. The leech who was only using them for free pic storage has gone, and now they can be a much more profitable company. I doubt it's done much harm to their brand either, as those that can afford it will shrug their shoulders and insist it's the best tool for the job.
