Tilbrooks have closed down in the past

They then reopened and looks like they are now shutting down again?

Yeh i change my jocks quite often also........... Oh hang on wrong thread..... :thumbsup::)

Nah seriously tho they have been around for quite some time, must be a solid reason for them to be closing, never actually took my car there as i use Boosties, but good luck to Mark and whatever he decides to do!!

IT'S OFFICIAL TILBROOKS IS CLOSED AT ELM ST AND RELOCATING TO ANOTHER LOCATION AS OF 31/07/08

I have spoken to Mark today and he asked me to say;

I would like to thank all those that have supported me over the years I really appreciated I have enjoyed working on your cars it and loyalty means alot to me.

I would like to wish everyone good luck in the future.

I will be doing Custom work and Building Race cars from another location, as I have found employing people to to work at my work shop has not been benificial for me or my customers so that is why i have made this decision to lease out my premises and relocate to personaly do the work for my customers myself with the best contractors and same great suppliers, I will still be listed in the yellow pages, Thankyou once again!

But on a better note Chad and I have nothing to worry about as Chad said befor we are still having Mark work on our cars :D

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
