  1. I've found a few lurking around the internet, but indeed, they're hard to find.
  2. What year is it? Microcat is showing me the 3.5 EFI crank from the RRC 86-91 to be ERR4060 (just picked a random example, not necessarily what you're looking for). HRC1400 doesn't turn up anything in Microcat cross-catalogue, so I guess that isn't a part number.
  3. GG AT² I can definitely recommend, excellent behaviour on the road, and off-road they give quite the "how did I get through this I don't even..." kind of feeling. And not too loud either, except on those concrete tile thingies, but then again, everything is noisy on there.
  4. I've snapped cheap tools by removing my mudflaps. Split the socket over the entire length Facom I definitely can vouch for, the breaker bars do break (or so I've heard, never done it myself but I've seen them destroyed a great many times ) but are replaced under (life-long) warranty.
  5. I've heard very good stuff about the Piper cams, know of two engines with one fitted (4.0 and 4.6) that apparently drive much better.
  6. I guess you can, indeed, catch a bull with that. And in that.
  7. You forgot the title text. The magic smoke sure is Lucas-y
  8. Ah boo, that picture only contained one naughty word. But here, I bleeped it out
  9. I have a Belkin F5U109 that worked perfectly with it, but not for a 64-bit OS though. W7 found the drivers automatically.
  10. I have a very lightweight VMWare virtual machine with XP on it for Microcat. Works quite well, although VMWare insists on syncing the time even when you turn off that feature
  11. I wonder how well those'd work in X-Lites, could be interesting.
  12. There's a .5mm height difference between the two, so not exactly lethal, but I wouldn't keep it like that anyway. Get some more 235/70s. The viscous coupling is most affected by this, and when ran a long time with different tyre heights it'll seize.
  13. The start of all of it. Replaced it, new rockers and all. Did timing belt at the same time (*sigh*). Then...: And the culprit: Somehow the cam pulley bolt came loose, resulting in the belt being loose and the valves hitting. I'm pretty sure I torqued it Took the head off to inspect further damage, but all seems fine luckily. Third time's the charm?
  14. Yeah, had it happen a few weeks ago... Now I'm on to bigger problems. When a TDi doesn't feel like working, it really doesn't feel like working apparently.
  15. After tightening turn it around manually and recheck. Then you'll know what way you'll have to turn. And if it isn't a lot, the three bolts holding the pulley are in adjustable holes, so a bit of adjustement can be given that way without removing the belt. Oh, and don't worry, if you've done it once the second time is so much quicker
  16. Sounds familiar Your timing is one teeth off. Even when the timing pin is in, it'll still be one teeth off after tightening. So the trick is to set it wrong just right
  17. Does the LPG system have a pressure sensor? If so, wire the output of that to the MS switching pin. Just switch over to LPG, and when it's ready it'll tell MS to switch injectors. (Disclaimer: as per usual I'm talking from the darkest hole in my body here.)
  18. http://forums.makezine.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=2819 The end of that page lists those you'll want to use: LM150-250-350. Like this one: http://www.fairchildsemi.com/pf/LM/LM350.html
  19. Late RRCs had them too, but it's offset differently. I'm guessing the box sends a VSS signal once the gears have lined up. I don't know how proficient you are in electronics/microprocessors, but making your own 'ECU' for it in that case wouldn't be exactly rocket science - as long as the box isn't signalling the gear is in place, you keep rotating the motor. Still pure speculation though, haven't had one to fiddle about with, although with all this talk about them it's tempting
  20. Your c's broken There are some new types of nuclear power plants under development that I wouldn't mind having in my back yard. From what I've read they're very safe, hardly produce any waste, and what they do produce can be largely recycled. The name of this new tech is escaping my brain atm though, I think it had something to do with tritium?
