KerryS Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 and once in the air, I have a length of wood with two lumps screwed to the end that goes across the back of the car on the rearmost full width rail. The lumps of wood give space for the brake/fuel lines to pass. You can just see it here Kerry S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persil Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Ta Blatters...i would have done a search but had to nip to shop and get a wheel wrench before shop shut so quickly posted before i went... Will have a few more questions (about my misreading speedo and its pickup location later) Persil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 You'll be able to practice searching then, 'cos both subjects are well covered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano.1 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 When we all start doing searches all the time, is anyone gonna talk to anyone about anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano.1 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Anyway, best place for axle stands is on the shelf in the garage, while the car is out in the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Mack Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Of course. It'll be nice to not have to keep repeating ourselves... says he with 15000 posts to his name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 And with a fair proportion of those posts including the words: a, search, and do, I really can't defend the charge that I love it really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enterpryse Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 ...extract the word "Search" from his vocabulary DOH, he beat me to it FWIW I did a search for Blatman on google and didn't get any quirky gem of wisdom other than "Dr. Blatman has taken the art of myofascial trigger point treatment to a new level." WHAT !!?? "Blatman describes the 11th annual Cajun-Zydeco Crawfish Festival - 9/11" Mmmmm Food "Blatman, BS, RRA, CTR; Datta, ... (Blatman) Assistant Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology" now thats a job I could do "Blatman, cautioned the Board on spending money for esthetics rather than function" It did seem to slow the wscc board when I did the same search on here. Maybe I imagined it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persil Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Okies all jacked up and on stands The reason for this is to check the car over as its going back on the road at the end of the month so wanna check it over. I also have a problem with the speedo (VDO) so i needed to find the sensor and how and where it was mounted . Ok the sensor points at the 6 bolts on the Lobro so i now need to know how to setup the guage because atm it overreads x2 (roughly) 40mph = 80mph on speedo . Now i dont have a manual or instructions for said speedo so can anyone furnish me with exact instructions what i need to do to get it reading properly . I did do a search but there were no full setup guides . I did read about having to measure the rolling circumference of the wheel/tyre but thats not possible (very short uphill driveway which has another car there i cant really move atm) . Also i have spax shocks with black springs on front and white on rear...they look well past there best but like how the hell do you remove them without taking half the car apart? Also does the colour of springs sound correct for a 1800 Zetec? Tia Persil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurksalot Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I did read about having to measure the rolling circumference of the wheel/tyre but thats not possible (very short uphill driveway which has another car there i cant really move atm) . Persil I don't know a thing about your speedo but to measure the tyre cicumference just wrap a piece of string round it and measure how much string you used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
