    Can I use a 2wd rolling road?

    It could be but it sounds like you may be pulling more ponies than stock. It may work well enough but if you have spent that much time building a beautiful truck isn't she worth the extra effort to set her up 100%?. Just my opinion mind,

    Can I use a 2wd rolling road?

    Not really no. Taking parts off will mess with any reading you get. if you have a 4wd use a 4wd dyno. Wouldn't take my car to a dyno if they would use a 2wd one to work on a 4wd. Work will be a **** as their pride in their job!

    V8 18 year old insurance

    Not really. Putting a 20yo lass on my insurance wasn't that bad on my '94 3.9 V8. The V8 disco was actually cheaper to insure than my mums 1.5 kia rio. Her 1.4 pugugly 207 and a 300TDI disco! Any man is lucky to have a V8. My first car was a 2.0 ford orion cossie crossbreed. Cost my nan 4.8k...

    Manual Vs Auto

    I hate to correct but.. You have the choice of locking each gear giving you the control you need. But in traffic it's so much nicer and way more pleasurable to drive. My next car has been chosen as it is an Auto with the paddle shift. Don't think I will ever go back to manual for a daily driver...

    sunroofs again

    Best way to fix leaking sunroofs is to not have any sunroofs. Fitting a non sunroof roof will do the trick :)

    ***WARNING*** Number Plate Thefts.....

    Caravan places used to allow you to buy plates and stick on letters. but stopped as people used them to alter their own plate or clone others. Machines only cost £90ish to buy.

    Safari Snorkel in the rain question

    You would be suprised how little actually gets in there. Guessing it drips out the bottom of the filter box. Always wondered this myself TBH. It's like a tape cassette I know it works just never found out how :D

    ***WARNING*** Number Plate Thefts.....

    Heard of people stealing plates to bomb up the motorway without getting caught speeding. Most cloners just use pen and paper and write car details plus plate down then make up new plates! That's how my Jetta was cloned. Police caught them because I had modded mine and declared the transplant. A...

    Scared from Bristol!

    If it was mine. I would have it remaped as it will just improve the car no end. Make sure she is 100%(she does sound it). Blank EGR. If you are thinking of any other engine work I.e larger intercooler etc, Get that done before map!
