    Matts Blue 172 Cup - YE53MAT

    Something i fancied, its literally a loud beep. The old horns from the bumper /bracket but knackered and i fancied something different. The dixie horn also took up way too much bay space and toyed with the idea of a switch which could flick between both horns but decided against it.

    Matts Blue 172 Cup - YE53MAT

    The dixie horn is in the shed at the moment, Not sure if it clogged with water as it stopped working! Using a truck air horn which looks like the trumpet in the engine bay pic

    Matts Blue 172 Cup - YE53MAT

    I decided to look around for some new seats. Wanted something a little different. Found some cheap type r seats and decided to get them reupholstered (rails and upholstering probably matched the price of buying 182 recaros.. but hey lesson learnt) Under seat sub doesn't fit under these...

    Racing door cards and speakers

    Hi all I've been toying with having new doorcards and a bit bored of the standard ones. I want to have speakers in there as well. Has anyone got any examples of race door cards - front and back but with speakers in too? is the only example I have come across but would like to see one with pull...

    Passenger side dirty oil leak near wheels, unsure of source

    Yep 3 blue saxos. The vts had yellow fogs Also if you mean the roundabouts near green lane that's the one. Second one has a bit of camber if you drive the inside slightly

    Passenger side dirty oil leak near wheels, unsure of source

    Bit of a sigh of relief that it's not the gearbox or suspension tbh, do you guys reckon it can be sealed or need replacement due to the amount of oil/grease that's escaped? How much will it cost too?

    Passenger side dirty oil leak near wheels, unsure of source

    I only checked one side of the rubber, I'm unable to fully rotate to look for splits, would that be the correct colour? As splatter shows it was something spinning

    Passenger side dirty oil leak near wheels, unsure of source

    On my way home there's been nothing bad, no noises anything. Near my house are 2 mini roundabouts, went round first fine, went round 2nd and its a tad cambered and made a grinding noise like bottoming out (despite the inch or 2 arch gap..) I had a look under the car to see if it hit anything or...

    Lots of newish parts but still knocking

    Top engine mount has been renewed, it's a vibratech one been moved it's not the engine knocking. (It's got a washer in the belt cover piece too). It's the creaking when turning, likely to be topmounts, but running out of ideas.. Can springs be potentially a reason for noise? It does make a...

    Lots of newish parts but still knocking

    Such a common problem on these cars but I just can't rid of mine. The noise started with my ktec solid top mounts and I thought they had been damaged on potholes so they have been swapped out for standard top mounts with the washer spacer (just in case) So it's the usual pulling away makes a...

    Air Horn not working

    @leeds2592 It wasn't too bad a job. I removed the horn from the wheel/wing area and threaded the wiring back up through the engine bay to the front (there is enough length) Then added new spade connectors to the ends and then it was pretty much plug and play. (I did change the fuse to a...
