Wasnt long before i had a problem lol Started car earlier fine - drove it for about 2 mins then i accelarated a little to get a bit of power out of it then the engine light started flashing lol, its been on for ages due to decat anyway but theres no power in it but anyway the exhaust is...

you probably got oil with it - just clean with fairy liquid and warm water then give it a spray of oil after its dired off

Not a very lucky chap are you :(

Autoglym isnt really a good shampoo to use for this in it not very bubbly at the best of times

you wait lol

Personally i would just go for the cheapest as in effect there all the same thing (piece of scafolding lol) There are silenced ones around but iv never seen one available brand new

Im decatted though fred :rasp: ;)

Well yeah everything breaks eventually lol, i suppose i should have said "using thinner oil will ruduce the life of the seals" perhaps but anyway Im using ATF and have been for months without a problem i cant imagine thats much thicker than 10-40

we got a monopoly for our region too - pretty cool lol

Yeap you are correct in what you say, 10-40 will be more than adequte for english weather. However i tend to use 5-40 anyway Merry christmas to you to fellla:D

Who told you this?? I was told thin oil will make its way through the seals and leak, again i may have been fed duff info though

If you dont want them to sqeak then you should have kept the stock setup, aftermarket brakes will be noisy until there warmed up.

Think 5w40 fully synthetic stuff is your best bet!! Personally ill never keep the car long enough to see the benefits of using good quality oil (ovi i keep it topped up etc..) i just use the halfords stuff Also fine with 10-40

best way - or you can get one of those fault code readers for like 20 squid these days

Dont take thie the wrong way lol but upgrading 1.2 to 1.4?? Might aswell put a 182 engine in a 172 :rasp:

Lovely & clean very nice :D:D Absolutely disgusting colour though sorry :(:(

Wd40 is quite good at dissolving thge brake dust and crap off the wheel, take it off first though

thats what i thought - perhaps the menz intensive polish? As for the menz pad i take back what i said about it - worked well on this.

I would be relectuant to use harsh stuff think your best off trying SRP first before all that. just to see if it can be polished off

front so you can crack on with some FWD dirfty drifty in this lovely icey weather ;)

why did you bothere getting it checked if you knew you were getting a new exhaust, or just to double check there wasnt anything else wrong with it?

i dont know what id rather have, why dont you just get another grand loan and do both :D

Yep just go for the cheaper especially if it is to be used on a track cos all sorts can happen

Agreed, it wont make jack all difference (if your just an averageish guy) Buy the one you like

Not trying hard enough lol - get some wagon wheels on the back then say that ;)

Panel filter £30-45 Decat - £60-80 Eibach Sportlines/prolines - £110-140 (depends on waht you want really) Braided lines + Fluid £40-60 Brembo discs £110-130 Half decent pads £60-110 (dependsing on what you want) Inlet manifold (would check the casting first myself to see if i felt it needed...

So basically the starter isnt turning at all - so it would either be down to perhaps corroded connecter the starter solinoid or the started itself. You would need to confirm with some more experiencied members though as its difficult to tell without having a look

with the symtoms you have described my money would not be on the tdc. What happens when you try and engage the starter?

6 shook my hand off but you need to be tough in this situation

cold in this weather when you first get in it lol ;)
