Not really a new newbie but...
29. Oct 2007 at 22:36
 
...I thought I should say hi in here anyway, as I never got round to it before.
So, hello everyone.
I have already posted a few times, and I actually joined to find out what I had broken when I did this:
...

And yes, it was the power steering pump.

I'm now waiting for my superchip to arrive from ImscherKris, and I'm also thinking about getting a second hand bonnet (£20 from my local scrappy- bargain) to have a bit of a play around with to see if I can get more cold air into my engine bay. Think cutting, and meshing and you'll see what I mean.
I'd also like to stiffen the car up a bit as it can be a bit wallowy (when coming off roundabouts sideways), but I don't want to reduce the comfort too much, any ideas are welcome.

No, it wasn't me. It wasn't my car. What CCTV? I don't know what you're talking about. I can't even drive. I wasn't even in the country that day. I was at work. etc etc etc
