The guy that makes the box the OP posted is Roverron, albeit under a different company name( Energy Tuning as opposed to Synergy Tuning). Used a few of his boxes before and found them to be fantastic value in comparison to the big names, £400+. Also found them to give a tremendous difference to...

Yeah the badge part needs to be prised off with a flathead, I'd take out the horn fuse or disconnect the battery atleast to avoid annoying the neighbours :D If you need to go any further than that you need to prise the underneath out the same way, only this is abit more tricky an you can damage...

Well for a start, bin the EGR valve and get yourself a blanking kit, usually comes with a new rubber hose that goes straight from the intercooler to the inlet manifold.

I didnt, looks like a dodgy character, so wouldnt be able to use it without more hassle, however ill give it a few more days and then I shall polish his paintwork with some brick (hydrochloric) acid

Funny how stupid some people are, had my spare wheel cover stolen a few days ago, nothing special just got it because it was cheap, £8 camouflaged. Drive round the corner from mine today and some dickhead in a pajero has it sitting on his......pfffff!

Whats so messed up about this whole Insurance thing is that it seems to be not so much about the car now, more it seems about were you live. Im 22 been driving 3 years with no NCB and can insure my Discovery for less than any corsa or fiesta no matter how small the engine, its a joke. Last...

Mine did the same, turns out it wasnt the sunroof, if you remove the trim surrounding the speaker you will most likely see a nasty bit of corrosion in the corner were the rear quarter meets the roof, its leaking in through the gutter. Pain in the arse to stop, just need to wait for a dry day...

Just to add to this I also found Dan from Adrian Flux extremely helpful with a recent problem I had, as well as the lady(Amanda) I spoke to on the phone. Refreshing to deal with helpful people given the reputation of insurance companies these days.

this is in the wrong section btw but it sounds like runaway, usually when the turbo is ****ed, starts running on its own oil untill BANG can also happen if someone puts too much oil in.

Wilkinsons do 15w40 mineral for £10.86 for 5 litres meets all specs for my 300tdi atleast...

Hello Got yet another problem to ask some advice on -_- This particular problem started this saturday when it was ****ing down, Went through a few large puddles but apart from the fan belt slipping nothing else was untoward. A few miles later slowing down for a roundabout get a jolt and...

3.5 flew past me a few days ago on the M6 an I was doin about 85 :O Only my mpg was still in double figures lol

Yeah this question seems to get asked every few days. Anyway to make it brief, go limited mileage(say 3000) third party fire and theft with Flux Direct(although they may be 19 and over) other than that sell it and buy a corsa =/

It doesnt have a MAF sensor, you need to start with the basics as it can sometimes me something simple, check all your hoses for splits, even take them off and check the insides. Fuel filter change, clean sedimentor and bypass EGR? I had similar problems, I checked all of these but the...

well the egr is blanked and the hose plugged but the rest I shall check out, thanks

Over the past few months ive noticed a problem with my TDI, it revs cleanly upto say 2100rpm, at that point its like hitting a wall, the revs slow right down and feel strangled almost and to make progress you have to rev the nuts off it. I know this isnt right because occasionally its...
