We need something like that....

I love the red Gen 5

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

Best bet is to charge the battery overnight and take it somewhere like Kwik Fit for a free battery discharge test, I wouldn't normally recommend them but they can't really screw that up, this will conclusively tell you if the battery is goosed or not

and sell you a set of shocks at the same time :xmas_laugh:

I think it is a Battery issue...IMO...

If it was an earth issue?why would Daves Battery work in your car?

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

Was Daves engine warm?

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

yes, it was dark so lights on

so how would you expect a dead flat battery to charge that quickly?

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

hes refusing to do it. he says if it does start after an our of charging then its screwed and theres no point doing it

did you have your lights on ?when you did this "charging"

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

yeah we did, his battery started first time in mine which is why we think it is the battery. didnt try mine in his though. daves convinced our battery charger doesnt work

So it's a battery issue then get it charged properly or get a new battery..

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

so is that really all it is? we have a battery charger but not sure if it works

This weather always finds knackered batteries..

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

would prob take you driving all day for a battery to charge from dead flat..

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

how long for? after we jumped it in tesco, i tried starting it again when we got home straight away and it didnt work. This sucks

you need a battery charger..

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

no the other battery we fitted was dead but we did charge it for over an hour by driving it

that wouldn't be enough IMO...not if it was dead to start with..i would give it a good charge..

[Is there any other reason other than a dead battery why a car would need a jump?]

was the other batt you fitted fully charged??try giving it a charge maybe..

[What is a good weight for an alloy]

Just looked up an enkei rp01. That's 7kg for a 17 x 9

that's a good weight...

[What is a good weight for an alloy]

10kg for the 3 spoke gt4 rim seems alot to me...was thinking of a set for myself or enkeis..

When i see the title,i assumed it was going to be a pic of one in bits in a garage :xmas_biggrin:

[import gear box]

s54 box is a s54 box regardless if its in a 3sfe or a 3sge

No i have been told this a few times...to do with gear ratios..

[import gear box]

3sfe & 3sge engines use the same s54 'box.

s54-06a means open diff

s54-06D means LSD

Most are open diff, & LSD 'boxes are usually way more expensive (unless the seller has no idea it has an LSD).

As long as the car from which your replacement box comes from says the same 'box code you'll be fine.

(There are other LSD 'boxes, but as you have a 3sfe engine, it's unlikely you'll have anything other than an S54).

pretty sure ratios are different in the 3sfe to 3sge ,pretty sure they fit though..

[Sanity or Stance?]

I'm running coil overs and the ride is fine,i even found it to soft on the lesser settings...i'm not running them stupid low though as i like to be able to drive over speed humps with no issues...

[Places To Buy OEM Parts]
