Hi Ruben, plenty of advice on here when you need it.

On long journeys, I use ear plugs, deadens the sound of exhaust/swirl pot etc., and even after a 750 mile journey, I am fine. Try, it might help.

I run R26 360bhp/340 torque, road and track use. On a warm/hot day,, I've seen people get out of their car wringing wet, while I get out, shivering with the cold, take a tip from an old man, keep the aircon!.

Stick with it. persevere. I now run my sons car, forged r26 360bhp, the noisiest swirl pot I have ever encountered in the wheel well, no rear seats, roll cage etc. I put damping pads, from behind front seats, to rear of car, covered the swirl pot/wheel well with damping pads, then covered the...

Standard Rad on the R26, running360bhp, has no problems. I have come across several with overheating, and the rad fan was the wrong way around. Some remove the rubber strip from the scuttle panel. I used some paper strip, and it blew back towards the windscreen, showing air was moving in the...

Welcome, plenty of people on here, with lots of knowledge.

I bedded inDS1.11, and never had a problem, cold or hot. Go to a known dealer, George for instance, his prices are competitive, to ensure you don't get fakes, and please people, don't take this the wrong way, but get on the brakes, get off, don't linger. I have inherited Winmax, so I will see...

Don't sell, get it done, come and do some track days, you will meet some wonderful people.Problems?. There are usually people to help you if you need it. Don't want to take your car on track?. No problem, most people will run you around for a few laps. Age? no problem, I have 6 track days booked...

I beat everyone in our group for the first time ever, at Anglesea. Obviously my superior driving skills, me, on a new set of road tyres, and everyone else on Slicks, in the pouring rain!!.

Having installed some insulation, I have removed the bottom layer, kept the KT Carpet, and now use some ear plugs. If only I could lose 28lbs in weight as well!!.

In my 64 years of owning cars, I have never kept any photos, and I have had lots of cars!.I do know, the EVO was crushed, several years after I sold it, after a major Court Case.

I had an FQ 400, running 636bhp, it averaged a Gearbox around every 8 months!. I now run a forged R26, with 360bhp, and a lot of weight stripped out, and it is a far better car.Here in sunny Scotland, its not as warm as Qatar!.Keep us up to date with your progress.

I am at Anglesea on 14 June, and need a man,( Sorry, any Gender!!.) to run in front of the car with a red flag. Free food/drink, bring your own red flag.

Scuttle drains cleared, plug opened, and there were signs of rust on the pins, cleaned with a nail file, never had any problems after that.

It could be sensor/water ingress. On my Clio. it was the main connector from bulkhead into cabin, water had got in, through scuttle drains blocked.

If weight is a problem for some people, remove the Recaro, fit some buckets. I never liked the Recaros, and am far more comfortable in a bucket seat..

I will give that a try. Many thanks

Car parked, speedo shows 50mph. Ideas?.

Having the swirl pot in the wheel well on the R26, means it was very, very noisy, so I used some self adhesive sticky pads. I removed the standard carpet, ( With the quite heavy wooden part.) and used a flat plastic tray that I found in the garage, glued carpet to it, to cover the wheel well...

Pardon?.

It always baffles me, when there are rows over the keyboards on twitter book/facetwat. Why can't people talk to each other, rather than block/throw insults.I suppose when you are over 80 years old, these things seem a irrelevant.

I used to take the kids into the Garage with me, and then, as you do, left the wife to scrape the muck off them later!.

I have set up a Simply Safe system, Keypad/cameras/motion sensors/Remote, and phone app, Even good view at night, and very easy to install. Monitoring available for a monthly fee as well.

Now have forged R26 running 360BHP, I didn't expect a mid life crisis at 80 years go age. I really must try and grow up.

I did see rumours about Clives Performance in a newspaper, that was not good either. Shame, that was a good car.( Some of the time!.)

My old FQ400...M400ANW....disappeared in 2016, no taxed mot since then. Curious what might have happened to it.

I will be moving Battery to boot, but conditioner will stay under bonnet.

Mine is permanently wired to battery, and mains cable runs from wall box, to under bonnet connection, with bonnet fully closed.

Yes. Bluetooth headphones work with Bluetooth tv. No questions are stupid, if you don't know, please ask.

If the Guy is happy with a 0.9 litre engine, and a few stickers, that's fine by me. I hope he enjoys it.
