Yup 28 quid odd for 4L at the mo and if you can get the one with a seperate 1L top up pack attached thats 31 quid odd so works out even cheaper. And if you spend 50 quid by sunday you get a free 10 quid voucher so makes even cheaper.
Runs a treat on the Duckhams. Used to get mine done there as used to be 15 quid and oil alone costs 20 quid. Plus Filter plus hassle, not worth doing yourself.
They fill to the max line on your dipstick so dont worry about the 5L limit.
Since then have used Castrol RS which was great in...
Do a search for buying guide, when I bought mine 4 years ago think Jass was a good one and may be on the home page via a link.
Definately check anything electrical. Dont look in dark and try and get a nice torch to check out engine bay and all the dark places. Any signs of corrosion (not...
Id suggest asking KTEC as they should be able to say and probably have fitted them to a cup if they do fit.
FKs are good too and should come with a lifetime guarantee. Even come with lubricant to spray them with to keep working as they should.
Yup noisy in winter and different oils help. Best I have used although was in summer was Castrol RS. Just done first oil chaneg myself with it and used Forte engine flush and Forte Top End Treatment.
The top end treatment DOES work and got for a fiver instead of 18 quid via ebay. Recently...
Nowt.
Lifted from the R19 which used it for computer function.
Stupidly coming from a Metro with variable speed intermittent wipers thought it changed wiper intermittency but does nowt.
With 20 percent off the mobil one makes it a better buy, with the 10 quid voucher you get you can buy your oil filters or some meguiars or other stuff :)
Apparently if you spend 50 quid there in one go before end of month they give you a £10 voucher to use with a couple of weeks.
Also got 20% off Mobil 1.

Well for this to be a goer, I will just have the four bottles although with oldest car could probably do with the 5 but hey ;)
With Subliminaljay and Telford_Mike thats 3. So 3 more needed.
Just renewed my membership by the way so not going anywhere. Live in Kenilworth but travel to Rugby...
Its actually the paint cleaner, stage 1 that there is most off rather than the body scrub. Either means that you have 2 bottles rather than 1 for the stage 1 and 1 of each of the rest. Guess this would be quite useful actually because you would probably get through more cleaning stuff than...
Tell me about it. Got my Denon stuff from Pilot ICE in Coventry who I think have closed down now. Fitted by Car Fi in Derby as they had fitted 6.5s in doors before and others said it couldnt be done. They bodges one door panel so got replacement from Scrappy. Then had rest finished at Bass...

Bit too much for one person but basically 3 stage system plus clear coat body scrub.
Looks like complete set for 6 people...
Agree with Bryan as audio should all be about the quality and detail and delivery rather than volume. Hate all those who just add a sub and all you can hear is bass from a mile away.
If you think about it an ICE set up is probably the most cost effective mod you can do as a good one can go...

Seem a great buy at half the normal price. Would be interested myself if I hadnt got MB Quart stuff already
driver to replace 6.5inch that is faulty from PSC316 system or where could look at it to assess for repair.
Can try sending back to MB quart but may ask for me to send through a stockist and havent found a decent shop in midlands to use.
Got mine from bass monkeys (or should that be junkies)
Wasnt impressed with their boot build finishing off where someone else ballsed up (cut outs round speakers were uneven so they taked some wood in to make flush and carpeted over.
But their stealth shelf has just fallen apart where the...
Fast road came out on 16th apparently. Dont mind paying 3 quid postage for 4 catalogues and sharing them out as still cheaper than getting a so called tuning mag full of chip shop girls.
Has mine for 4 years and currently do about 56 miles a day in it plus whatever at weekends. Never let me down and can get up to 400 miles out of a tank (inc reserve).
You can drive it at under 4k as 90 is 4.5k in fifth. You should get good mpg anyway as shouldnt thrash from cold and it takes...
Depends where you get done. If you get on a proper laser rig set up they can advise of camber etc and I found my valver runs more on rear at one side than the other which cannot be adjusted at the rear. So from factory like that or from use.
Can get car adjusted to compensate however...
From their website. They charge 3 quid postage though so ordered 2 road and 2 motorsport catalogues to make most of postage charge and to pass on the spare copies.
Just thought Id let you know you can now get your hands on them, or wait for it to come free with Max Power or similar one month.
Think I have heard of Becker from years ago, aret they part of Blaupunkt?
If looking for a HU try and get one that is preamp only. Internal amps arent that good and they cant be a true high powered unit when you see the size of equivalent powered amps. Stuff like the top Nakamichis even come...
Nakamichi and Denon are the only HU I would go for. Nothing flash and no techno gimiicks, just plain and simple units with top quality sound.
You listen to ICE and shouldnt look at flashing things !!!
Check out specs and S/N ratio is usually a good indicator pf performance.
11 or 12 is what is usually quoted.
Problems have been lised numerous times:
Rusty rear arches
Any engine work being expensive due to lack of space: alternator, water pump, cambelt
Induction kits a waste of time as all they do is make a nice noise but suck in hot air. Stick to standard...
Shouldnt you worry about teh airbag before starting such a manouvre. Check Haynes Manual. Think you need to disconnect battery for a while before proceeding.
Get oil change done every 6k or sooner. National Tyres charge 20 quid for Duckhams QXR semi synthetic and filter. Oil is worth that on its own so not worth doing it yourself.
Check/replace dizzy cap, rotor arm, spark plugs and leads as this could lose power if worn.
Coolant flush when...
