Hi I doubt my strut would have survived the pot holed cart tracks of Lockerbie. Its bad enough up here on our Ayrshire billiard table roads :lol: Rab

HI All My subframe brace eventually came yesterday. So this morning was spent lying under the car fitting it. it goes on quite easily. took it out a short run but couldn`t really test it out as my knackered strut isnt getting replaced until Tuesday, plus it is Scotland, so of course it was wet...

Hi Im sitting here with my tail between my legs... I wimped out set of Koni adjustables £460 pair of after market struts £115 No contest cheapo struts win.:embarrest: well i have just been made redundant :confused: And to really make my weekend i kerbed my alloys :o( Rab

yeah that would be a bit better than the cops camera. Knowing my luck I`m more likely to get an old guy in a dirty raincoat :embarrest: Rab

Hi Guys You are probably correct. I wasnt thinking about changes made at their end of the cameras. The fact I sit at the speed limit show I am not convinced enough with my theory that I would risk getting points on my licence anyway. I tend to use cruise control quite a bit to ensure my speed...

Hi all yes I suppose your right..........in a way.But..........these were the first S.P.E.C.S. cameras in UK and are NOT linked. So each lane has a seperate set of cameras.. The newer ownes are operated, as yous say (linked) but ( if I was brave/stupid enough) I CAN fly through my local ones as...

Hi Waynne I dont follow you ;) If you drive on the inside lane, the camera pointed at that lane will log your reg number if you cange lanes you wont pass the aim point of the next camera watching the inside lane therefor it cant work out your average speed. There is a seperate camera for each...

Hi Guys Up here in Ayrshire we have a series of average speed cameras which measure your speed between each set. This is over a stretch of approx 20 miles or so.. On the dual carriage way parts, a seperate camera monitors each lane so provided you change lanes between cameras you cant get...

Hi Guys I`ve just had some fabulous news..... My right front strut is broken "YA BEAUTY" now I have an excuse for a set of Koni adjustables with a 35mm lowerering spring kit.... cant wait:D I ordered a 6 point subframe brace off Ebay On 22nd Jan and it still isnt here. The guy said it had been...

I was looking a a Viggan advertised in Auto Trader, I wasnt going to buy it, just salivate over the photos. It would need to handle a lot better than my Saab does. I can just imagine the horrors finding out what 235 bhp would do to to a bendy Saab Convertible. I still havnt bought the subframe...

Hi Just checked. the gas conversion company is called OZON and quoted £1200 inc VAT. they have a good website Rab

Hi Mate I think the last quote I got was from a company called " OZONE " and it was only for £1200. I think that was the name I`ll have a look online and see if thats right That anti roll bar conversion I was talking about was for sale on EBAY for £150 plus postage for 2 used anti roll...

Hi waynne Thanks for the advice. I thought the anti roll bar might help but as you say we do get a fair amout of rain around here so I probably wont bother. I havn`t done any mods yet as Ive just decided I`m going to keep the car. I did think about trading it in for a newer Aero but decided...

Hi All Can anyone advise me I found an ad on ebay for a 93 anti roll bar converstion using the 93 diesel front anti roll bar to replace the petrols version as its stiffer they also advised doubling up at the rear by fitting 2 bars. Does anyone know if this is a worth while mod. I intend to...
