Where is it located? My car is a 1.6 ph2 just for reference

Hi guys, Ive had this intermittent fault for a while now, sometimes when i turn the ignition on nothing happens, all i get is a relay click from under the glovebox but the starter motor doesnt come to life. for a few days it will be fine and then i get a couple of days where it does this every...

Mine on coilovers. pre spacers, camber and a few other bits and pieces ive done since then. Splitter is probably around 2" from the floor on the front. adjusters removed on the rear.

Bought my car from these guys, they do loads of replicas, some better than others. Pretty reasonable guys though.

Hi guys, My 1.6 has developed an intermittent missfire. I was just wondering if there was anyone local to the Chichester area that has a code reader, or any sort of diagnostic equipment i could perhaps borrow, with your assistance for 10 mins to see whats going on? Already replaced all 4...

They are plastic and glued in place with a plastic pin that pushes into a drilled hole underneath, i tried to take one of mine off to do the same thing and it just snapped off, luckily glued in to place again fine. if you could source new plastic 'screws, rivets, bolts, whatever you want to call...

I've got some for sale, would be suited with uprated shocks though. Pm me if interested and I'll send you a pic of how they sit. I have no need for them now as I changed direction with the car.

little thin screwdriver was what i used on my old phase 1. just wedge it under the clear plastic and pop it off. looks like you had a go at that already though looking at the marks haha.

You were bang on mate, cat had disintegrated. All sorted now. Cheers for your help

Ahhh bollox, that sounds about right tbh. It looks like a proper tight squeeze under there. Will get it in the garage tomorrow

What's it like while ticking over? Mines quiet then. It's just when I put my foot down its gutless and really loud!

Well this is what I'm thinking now. It all sounded like induction noise. But now it's gone totally gutless and it sounds like it could be from the manifold to cat joint. It's sounds horrible!! It's kinda odd though as when the cars stationary and I give it some revs it sounds like induction...

It's gone abit rusty tbh, was only a cheap metal mesh eBay jobbie, gunna swap it over for another new one I've got and see what happens.

I've had an induction kit that I made up myself fitted to my 1.6 16v fitted for around 8 months now. (Positioned the cone behind the headlight much like the ktec kit for the sports) it's been fine since I fitted it at the beginning of the year but last night on the way home it became unbearably...

And me haha, been running over 3 on the rear of mine for a while now with barely any abnormal tyre wear. quite suprising really. a couple of degrees should sort your issue. just get the shims :)
