I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here... If you're just trying to change the setting for the URL, go to Admin CP => vBulletin Options => Site Name / URL / Contact Details => Forum URL

I'm not really sure what you're trying to do here... There are full instructions here (http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersarea.php?do=viewusermanual&productid=4&pageid=7) though on how to change the links and such for different ways of running the CMPS.

Done that..i have one index.php in my root directory right! have changed to forums.php in vbulletin as forum url..ok....made index.php in cmps ..ok...so why is not working...to me it should be straight forward...

IN index.php what forum path should it be?

Enter the full path to your forum here
// Example: /home/vbadvanced/public_html/forum
// ============================================

$forumpath = '';

Did you rename your original vBulletin index.php file to 'forums.php'? It doesn't appear so since the link you've posted above isn't working.

ummm..yes and no... what about the file path as above post

[Brian]

A blank $forumpath variable is fine if the CMPS's cmps_index.php file is placed in the same folder as your forums.
I'm not sure if you changed this since I first looked or I missed it the first time, but you also need to change your Forum URL vB setting to 'http://cartalkuk.co.uk' and remove the '/forums.php' part from the end.

Brian,think i'm nearly there.. what about the links on www.cartalkuk.co.uk/forums.php

They not show up on www.cartalkuk.co.uk/index.php

plus admin link not work

I would guess that you have some kind of <if condition> in your template that's preventing that link from being displayed on the CMPS.
