Got told off for giving it full beans yesterday on a test drive, only floored it in 1st on a long, wide, empty road to make sure it felt right. Was told "no more of that :nono:, I could drive it like that once I bought it." I've always accelerated hard into at least 2nd when testing driving...

I think I'm right in saying poor fuel economy can be linked to lambda sensor issues. If so, will this show on the MOT emissions as they do the lambda test on fast idle? Its suppose to be between 0.97 and 1.03 and mine is 1.00. If that means my lambda is fine, then I must just have a heavier...

Are a mk2 ph1 5 door and a 3 door clio (more specifically a ph1 172) the same length and width?

Looking at Sony KDL32W4000 or KDL32P3020, 1st is 1080p, 2nd is 1080i. Was wondering since the W4000 wont have to upscale/downscale the PS3 output will it produce a better image? I know 1080p makes little if no difference on a 32" TV but its just the question if scaling will affect the...

What are the prices of parts like for a ph1 172? Won't be buying from a main dealer unless I have to. Are RS prices a lot more than standard parts or VW parts as a Golf GTI 1.8T is another possibility? Thanks

Anyone know of any adapters I can use to connect a usb stick to an existing hifi?

Very close to getting the Sony CDX-GT610 http://cliente.avenidadelcomercio.es/automobile/images/produits/info/xl/SONY-CDX-GT610.jpg But was wondering if anyone happened to know if any new Sony HUs were out soon to replace this? Been googling but not found much.

Everyone goes on about how great the 1*2s and I imagine they're damn right - not driven one yet. But not many go on about how good the lesser models are (not in comparison). Are all the clios across the range better than all the rivals?? Jus saying this cos got a few clear miles of road today...

I noticed there's some good things on the forum that you can do with an N95 (as standard or with add ons). So thought we could keep a log of what it can do, for ppl who might wanna add to their own N95 or for prospective buyers. So to start off: * GPS for sat nav (can it track travelling...

Drove past a speed detectors that shows yours speed and it said I was doing 52 when I was doing an indicated 59/60, over 13% difference! Is the speedo met to be that inaccurate or do I need to get my car recalibrated?

Done a lot of research and found that GT4 can be played in 1080i on ps2. Bought the component cable but after reading how to set it up, I realised that I don't have the option to change format output (ie. 480i/480p/1080i). The american manual shows it but I dont have the UK manual, can someone...

Change into fourth gear, revs fall to idle, nothing happens when foot flat on accelerator. Shift to neutral and back to fourth solves it. Only happened a few times but is it sign of gearbox on way out?

I'm condsidering a 172 as next car, but can only afford a ph1 172. £3-4k for 6/7 yr old car with between 50-80k miles. What are the likely probs/costs that I might get if I buy one? Already have an 98 RT and not spent loads on it, its been pretty good, only couple small niggles, but will an...

My sunroof will open with ease as much as I want it to open but it wont close for ages, tried the close switch for over 20mins till it finally closed. Happens everytime I open, any idea what the problem is?

Hi guys, I'm starting to need my boot space a lot more so am considering removing my sub. Is there any other good alternative to producing some bass but doesn't take a lot of space? Would 6.5" mid bass/woofer like these work...

My car won't even tick over and can't even jump start it from another car! Battery died on me on friday (hadn't driven for a week but started 1st time but had to park up 2 mins later and then would not start again) but jump started it fine from another car, then drove it for 1.5 hrs and was...

Hi boys and girls... I've had my 1.4 RT for a year now and have done nothing to it accept change my headunit and fit my sub. I've been thinking about lowering it 35/40mm (so just need springs and not whole kit) with 15s. But this would work out around £700 which is way too much atm. So...
