I gots a spare speedo cable in the posts today and my new nob from Scott (ooh err) lol



http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/spudly01/81a2857c.jpg




On a side note, has anyone else come across having to grease/lube up a new speedo cable before fitting, i bought one from work on friday and fitted it right away and there is a horrible grinding noise from/behind the clocks, id already ordered the ebay one aswell and ive been told to either lub my current one, or lube the new one and keep the other as a spare!

Ive never used a new cable before now so ive not encountered this before, is it normal as a few peeps in garages have said they think it sounds right but not anything 100%!

Is its a pattern cable Spud ?

As I have a grinding/clicking noise coming from mine which is pattern, black one off ebay

Thinking of fitting a old genuine one

[pie]

^^ funny enough ed i fitted a pattern one on the mrs corsa n it make a hell of a noise the faster you go f lol lol sound like its goin to snap again lol

[leggattr]

I fitted the cheap pattern one from the bay, was well oiled but lasted a few weeks before snapping. Got a used gm one and it's still going strong.

[novadave24]

sod all :(

[NOV4_SPORT]

Got ma new karcher pressure washer today. :)

Iain

[Spudly]

Insignia washer jets landed today for the disastra, cant fit them yet as i need to ask Joff very nicely if i can borrow his wiper arm puller, stupid astra's and not having the same type of arms as everything else, that you can just wiggle off lol

[NOV4_SPORT]

Spud, you can lift the plastic scuttle panel up enough to get your hand in and remove the old jet and fit the new ones, that's how I done my Astra and my brothers Astra mk4 coupe, but then again I do have tiny hands flol

The one that just landed from the bay is a 'First Line' one, same as we supply at work funnily enough, is there nothing you can do about it then?

Ive got some bearing grease for my bike thats reeaaallllyyyy light, im going to slap a load of that on the new one and swap them at weekend if its nice weather, see if that makes fix :d

back from the post office with this little lot

:)

[mowgli]

tj, they have independant motor factors in derby...... with the money you'd save from the postage, you'd have been able to buy a new nova....

[mowgli]

re the speedo cables...

oil is nearly as bad as wd40 on one, as they drain down. a light grease, like png's favourite, vaseline would be a decent idea, but don't ram tons of it onto the cable, just smear a bit on it & them hand turn it. any resistance & it will not last long

[turbojolt]

tj, they have independant motor factors in derby...... with the money you'd save from the postage, you'd have been able to buy a new nova....

if you can recommend any good ones i will go to them, while my foot was in cast this was the only viable option mate

I'm going to be my own courier/postal service. Off to Newcastle this evening to pick up my new bumper. Normally I'd just send a courier but it's a bit to fragile to trust them with.

[Plug]

/\ you bought that nova?

Just see new bumper lol

Has that shell got a sunroof?

[SimonTW]

It's a non sunroof model. He's breaking car. It's up on ebay at the moment. If I didn't already have an early Mk1 in Silver on Astra fan blades I'd have had the whole car. It's got a C20XE on 45's fitted but the blocks cracked I believe. He offered me the whole car for about a grand.

[Plug]

Just need to find some pins then I can hinge my boot. Cause I'm fed up having to take it off when I pop down the shops. lol

[scott.parker]

Lol see rm can get stuff there just from post codes an house names, streets and names are only a fine way of identfying a destination if you know the jutey well!

[mowgli]

Are those harness' road legal Mr Jolt or is yours a trailer queen?

i think it will be the latter.... lol lol lol

[turbojolt]

DUNNO??????? dont matter, i will be going so fast the police wont catch me 'like' 'init' blood

[Hobbit]

I thought they needed to have a normal push button buckle to pass MOT.

[turbojolt]

i really dont have a clue mate?

[pie]

pub mot for nova's ftw lol

[paul080803]

I beleive the MOT requirement is for the belts to be E marked, they do not specify the type of buckle/release mechanism.

I am pretty sure that the Megane R26R has a lever style buckle and that is a road going car

[Hobbit]

****, should've got fancy buckles for mine then :(

[turbojolt]

they are mega :cool:

[paul080803]

Quote from Megane Sport about the R26R harnesses, effectively yes they are buckle style and road legal as Renault got them E marked but there are no 'off the shelf' E marked buckle style harnesses. But semantics here, it is not the buckle itself that is not road legal, it is the lack of E marking.

"Thanks guys. I am pondering upon the legalities. The R26R harnesses were homologated for road use, other harnesses with the aricraft style buckle are not E marked and therefore not road legal. The road approved ones with seatbelt style latches are NAF.
Would it work to fit .R harnesses to another car (http://www.meganesport.net/community/showthread.php?52246-R26R-harnesses#) and maintain legal status?"

[turbojolt]

just looked and there are none of these 'e' markings on them, ****.

[Stuart]

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4L3-Nn0nA-Q/UCOH5OgopTI/AAAAAAAAExs/MSUUaudrZPY/s640/WP_000027.jpg

no nothing exciting lol Just a pair of switches to test.

[steviegsi]

just looked and there are none of these 'e' markings on them, ****.

Can you not just leave the standard seat belt stuff in for mot? Would be much easier to drive on the road I'd imagine, especially at junctions when you need to shift about in the seat!

Also how do rally cars pass mot? I wouldn't have thought they had anything other than harnesses.

[Hobbit]

My harness' passed a proper mot,

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p72/wiggardywoo/a005.jpg

but you're right, they are a ball ache on the road.

[scott.parker]

I thought they needed to have a normal push button buckle to pass MOT.

There "meant" to, but if you take the car to an MOT station and the guys clued up but not Anel, he will realise these are better then a normal seat belt! lol

My old Track car had buckle type and passed every time, it depends if you got a good MOT place that will pass the car as it's safe, or fail it as he's a dick and wants to be anal about it all, fact is he could get arsey as theres no rear seats and the VOSA data base say's there should be! lol

[Mark]

Taken around 20 cars for MOT's over time at different garages and never ever had one query a set of harnesses.

[turbojolt]

if i was involved in a accident and the only belts in the car are non road legal ones would that not void my insurance?

[Mark]

Not if you have declared having them.

[scott.parker]

Are they TUV approved? as thats the same as CE/E marked no?

There "meant" to, but if you take the car to an MOT station and the guys clued up but not Anel, he will realise these are better then a normal seat belt! lol

My old Track car had buckle type and passed every time, it depends if you got a good MOT place that will pass the car as it's safe, or fail it as he's a dick and wants to be anal about it all, fact is he could get arsey as theres no rear seats and the VOSA data base say's there should be! lol

My red nova was declared as a 2 seater, changed at same time as engine. So there's an easy fix to the rear seats :p

[Hobbit]

fact is he could get arsey as theres no rear seats and the VOSA data base say's there should be! lol

Nope...

[turbojolt]

[MK999]

No good for motorsport they are out-date hope they were cheap :)

Hmm dates on seats are normally build dates, doesn't that apply to harnesses as well?

[turbojolt]

they have not valid after 2016 on the other side?

[MK999]

yeah they are in date then, 5 years is FIA regs. Thought it was always build date.

[turbojolt]

seems a waist me having them then lol

[MK999]

can give them to me if you're bothered lol

[Mark]

they have not valid after 2016 on the other side?

5 years from 2011 is correct.

[turbojolt]

might put them up for a swap them for two (matching) harnesses

aren't 12.9's a bit over kill?? or is it a legal requirement?

[AndrewJenkins]

easy three points pfffffttttt and nice i have my season ticket just awaiting the first home game need to go buy my shirt soon lol

[paul080803]

Don't think legal requirement!

I am just a fat b*****d so don't want them to break when I drive into something lol

[Lewis.]

tbh a standard 8.8 high tensile bolt is fine for a seat. even most suspension bolts are only 8.8, with a few being 10.9
interesting fact: higher tensile strength = much more brittle bolt, therefore less shear strength :thumb:

[paul080803]

Don't need shear strength though, tensile is what is needed! For this application.

[Pete]

All looked good Paul bar the Manc tops lol

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/CorsaNova/NovaSaloon/73d1f412.jpg

[MK999]

FIA regs are at least 10.8 on seat bolts iirc, it might even be 12.9 but I don't think so. 99% sure 8.8 standard tensile isn't allowed though.

[Hobbit]

I just got some bolts with omp stamped on them and assumed they were up to the job. lol

[Stuart]

12.9's are too brittle for anything automotive related imho

[pie]

[John]

Yes that is Peesters car now. It was mine and i built it initially :)

[Spudly]

Not trying to detract from your workmanship dude, nice looking car, thought it was previously yours, but wasnt sure :p

[John]

Dave has made some major changes now though! :) it sits nearer the tarmac for a start lol I had my gammas cheap when i worked at vauxhall (not as cheap as £50 tho lol) think they suit a nova quite well :)

[Benn]

Yes that is Peesters car. It was mine and i built it initially :)

Did you have pics of you polishing up the paint by hand years ago? As i sure i remember them.

[Benn]

And this came again today...

[John]

Did you have pics of you polishing up the paint by hand years ago? As i sure i remember them.

quite possibly somewhere. Dave's had it for a fair few years tho now (6-7?)

[Benn]

Always thought it as this car. Think it might have been longer than that.

[Liam]

Used to have an awesome stereo back in the day, way back when, and i regret getting rid of it all very muchly!




So to start it all off again, we have a Harmon Kardon AVR 10 pro-logic receiver, and a Mission 73C center speaker, very pleased with my little self lol

These are both the exact models i used to have, need a marrantz power amp as the H/K has removeable bridges to run as either power and pre amp, or as a power amp so i can run two amps with bi-wireable speakers and i used to have a second marrantz amp, running through a digital technics equalizer, a sony and kenwood cd players, a kenwood mini disc player/recorder, and it all went through a set of dark beech coloured Jamo Classic 6 tower speakers, the Mission center as pictured, and a set of Wharfdale Modus rear surround speakers!

Need to get trawling the web for the rest of my collection/suitable replacements :d
