cheers matey,i,ll try that tommorow.the car runs ok but i,ve noticed on motorways if you try overtaking it struggles even to the stage where the car starts slowing down,you have to take your foot off the accelerator and build up speed slowly again.fuel pump sounds good is there any way of...

ok 50 miles a week is slightly exagurated but its 100 at the most,its just had a good service,oils,filters etc although i have to admit i have,nt changed the fuel filter yet:behindsofa:.i covered 150 miles today to pick up a set of alloys,surely thats enough to charge battery,anyway once home i...

cheers lads,i,ve always run with at least a 1/4 of a tank but i dont think the needles ever reached the middle mark since i,ve owned it(i only do 50 miles a week in it)good job really the cost of fuel:)

hello lads,after looking up a few threads i,ve now hit a brick wall:(.my dse was purchased with a starting problem,the previous owner said it was the starter relay,so replaced relay problems still there?i,ve replaced leak off pipes,glow plugs are new but don,t know which make-besides it won,t...

22,s look cracking mate,but do they have any negative effect other than the cost of the tyres:).i.e handling,hard ride?

hiya,i,ve been offered a set of rr/sport alloys/tyres in super nick but they are fitted with matador tyres?there does,nt seem to be a lot of info on the net but what i have found is they are rated zr SUMMER tyres.anyone had any experience with these,although rated summer do you think i,d get...

best of luck matey,ours thoughts are with you:D.

i,m no expert but from what i,ve read about eas,its a fairly simple system that if looked after will look after you.think about it you,ve got a compressor-that can be rebuilt £30,a valve block-that can be rebuilt £30,and air bags which can costly i paid £115 for a pair but by all accounts last...

quite right matey,that was my plan but i had a claim going through at the time-against me:(and did,nt want to rock the boat.

yes mate they are bonded in,i found an independant fitter who was willing to take one out of a breaker and re-fit in mine.£80 all in,and thats including the cost of the windscreen:).otherwise you,re looking at £3-400 heated or £150+unheated fitted.cheers

unless you,re a spanner man and don,t mind getting your hands dirty-FORGET IT.i,ve owned mine for less than 3 months,matrix o-rings,blend motor,front air bags and both blower motors,all things that have gone wrong,some things just wear and tear,but ive replaced myself with of course the help of...

i,ve got a nice set of 22" alloys that would bling that up nicely,giz a bell if your interested:D

yes mate the dreaded RETAINING PIN,spent 2 hours trying to pull the barsteward out,looks like its an hammer and chisel jobby,did your airbag pop out after snapping the pins off?

good thinking batman.:)

cheers mate,been doin a little reading and it seems i,ve got the early ally bodied bags at the front,well 1 is the other is a new plastic one,the pin on the other came out fairly easy but this just does,nt want to move.from my search it looks like i,m not the only one to have had the prob but...

hiya after following our fellow member and friend datateks idoits guide to airbag change a couple of weeks ago i,m in the process of doing my other front airbag,everything was going sweet till it came to removing the bottom pin,its bent all over the place:(i,ve twisted,got a chisel on it,pulled...

i personally think that in buying any sort of car with the spec of a rr,especially knowing if things go wrong it could cost £££s you have to budget for the worst,don,t go buying a car for £10,000 if you only have £10,000 savings you,ll be knocking on your bank managers door.also you have to...

cheers matey,thanks for the reply
