  1. i had everyday for ages. but since about 6 months have never had it since. i had 2 things done ecu update and coil pack/ht change. so its one of those that completely eliminates it.
  2. kangaroo hopping from cold can be common fault and is curable, but i forget what cures it. possibly ecu dealer update or maybe a first sign of the above fault.
  3. hesitation at just under 2krpm means you need a new coil pack and ht lead.
  4. i think it will look more normal than that. in the same way the sirocco was toned down.
  5. i believe the lupo gti is more exclusive than the R32. but that aside, power and perofrmance do not give you the character that a small car can provide. by character i mean it feels good to be in the car for no other reason than to be in it. plus the fact its a quality small car.
  6. maybe you should have been given a lethal injection at birth as at some point you will die anyway.
  7. the state benefits are one of the best things about this country. but they could do with better management. with the above example, before even the 1st payment was made a manager could have said it would be cheaper to buy a house for these people in another part of the UK. possibly even cheaper to buy a tropical island with a beach house as an investment and let people stay on it. no one can take away the fact that everyone has the right for shelter and food once they are in within the Uk borders. any other attitude is not responsible. the openness of our borders is another issue.
  8. the mini GP supercharged has 218bhp and 10.5:1 compression ratio i believe.
  9. its called the lupo now not UP!. and this is new news about an all electric version of the chassis.
  10. i would get the air con stripped out and sell it. and ooo i reckon 200bhp@wheels as a guess. going for a custom rev limit?
  11. the loads and possible footprints will be different from going in a straight line compared to going around a corner. this is why camber gives more grip in a corner but less in a straight line.
  12. i am interested in global climate change also, particularly ocean levels. recently its been said that the polar melt waters will take upto 50 years to actually give their full volume of water ( if they were to fully melt) to the rest of the oceans due to it being trapped from currents and temperatures. as always though there are counters to the speculation. this was said to be good news for pacific islanders who live at near sea level. but i think it just means they will get it as more of a sharp shock when it does come.
  13. thats good, have you done a study on climate change after a large asteroid impact? its going to happen some time.
  14. this is the impact picked by a weather satellite, it observed it in wavelengths from 0.5 to 14 microns, covering all 12 spectral channels of the satellite sensors. actual ground images are said to be doubtful as it was in such a sparsely populated region of Africa. it may not be long before a bigger object is detected and then "the popular media" may be forced to report on it.
