People seem to like eibach and cooksport springs on here and no I wouldnt use the standard shocks going that low, they will be fine on 40mm springs but any lower and id get new shocks.. or coilovers.
Take it to a mechanic or something if you can and get them looked at to be safe. Most important parts to change would be the waterpump, cambelt and aux belt. Talk to HMS Derv Destroyer on here, he knows a lot more than me :)
Nice to see another diesel!
Mine is on 156k miles and runs perfect.
Most important thing to do would be to get a new timing belt unless its been done recently, then oil filter, oil change.
Thats fair enough mate like you said each to there own, i happen to love the sound of my diesel but I know a petrol sounds a lot better and my next car will be petrol and im really looking forward to it.
Thanks for backing me up, people don't seem to think much of diesels on here. It does feel quite different and more responsive with the new exhaust, one of the guys at prospeed showed me part of the cat had been blocked up which was worse on emissions than a decat.
I will get a decent video soon for you :) it will sound lovely with a decat and mine is a nice volume not too loud but not quiet.
Speak to charlie at prospeed he knows his stuff and will do you a great deal for being a member here!
Thank you for putting him straight :)
Its a straight through, the cat is still on there but has been hollowed out and has a pipe running through it so it will pass mot no problem.
Remap is next on the list and will only cost £150.
It WAS NOT a waste of money it sounds amazing and looks superb!
It decat system only cost £270 so its not expensive at all.
