    That is some pile of sh1t news for a morning.
    He was a good poster, pity.
    But I know the feeling sometimes you've too much sh1t going on in your life and you need a break from here it might be one thread or comment that pushes you over the edge and you close your account to keep your mind away from the internet trolls!
    Best of luck KaiserD!

    Have you taken a real reading of it ardennes?
    Just to see difference is all.
    The 530's reading is always so close to correct!

    I did when it got to 46ish 2 weeks ago and it was about under 1mpg less than the trip. I put in 50e yesterday, travelled 42miles to work this morning and the trip says 270miles left to empty

    50/1.55= 32.25 litres

    32.25/4.545= 7.1 gallons

    270+42= 312 miles.

    312/7.1= 43.94mpg

    If my maths are correct :)

    Dont ask me anyway! All I know is when I brimmed it and checked the mpg that way 2 weeks ago it was reading .9 mpg too much so I can only assume its the same now. I would doubt the miles left to empty in mine as it doesnt really go up whether you're doing 30mpg or 45

    It's like them all, there is probably 10 mile left in it once it goes off the dial. I got caught with the bmw one day and she kept going!

    Rented a few things on holiday, one of which did about 2.5mpg at 20mph. Some craic though.

    My other chariot was this RWD Japanese monster. :cool:
    Such a fun little thing to drive around in, the two girls loved sitting in the back.

    Just so you know, mine does 45mpg with me ragging the arse off it;)
    But it doesn't do much better when you drive it easy, so I go with option A :D

    Lads. Need to find what could be an obscure fitting. In a small size, possibly 4-5mm. Any ideas?

    Hi Mycroft, that's would be a 3/16th pneumatic t-piece. Any hardware place etc will have one :)

    I have limited wifi here but I was kindly given a boards "holiday" for a bit of an out burst I had. :p

    Waiting around for a few hours before I go home, no access to a room to get changed for the pool and I'm melting in the 40c heat.

    Love it here but I'm dying to get to the airport now!

    Ah right :)

    Where did you go man?
    Over the past few weeks I've been quiet on here too. Got an s14, tried to get Pickles in it, he wouldn't but I don't blame him :), generally annoyed neighbours and then sold it. Realised I want an sr powered 86 :)

    Went for a spin in the motor for the first time in a week and a half (shock horror!). Had been driving a Ford B-Max all week...thought it was a nice enough car, then getting back into my yoke I realised just how much I love the 325. Hardly a fair comparison at all, it was more just being out of mine for a while that seemed to remind me how much I enjoy driving mine.
    Which 325 have you got?

    Oh dear :o

    Well here's to a good procedure! In fairness the guy who's helping me has nearly 25 years under his belt, and knows these yokes inside out, so I'm not as scared as i should be :pac:

    Saw an E46 M3 badged as a 318ci, loved it :D

    Phoenix Yellow, so that was a dead giveaway.

    I wasn't sure when I first saw it as their was no badge on the front but everything else confirmed it. Some yoke, I'd love one in the future.
