i sold mine for £300 ish on 56k, once the engine ois out the car the mileage is irrelivant and almost totally improvable (also true when in the car) but what i did was advertise mine when it was still in the car so the guy could test drive it and see what it was really like, its the best way of...

you think this is hard but we have got it easy, there are people that rebuild cars that went out of production 80 years ago, imaganin the effort in a nut and bolt restoration on anything old and rare but 1,000s of people do it, just use a bit of savy and keep your ear to the ground i bet i...

I paid £300 in the end and got the manifold and everything, even at that £400 i still had to haggle and it saved me £100, To be fair there is no way you could find stuff like that it was pure luck, the only way i would sugest to find the real bargains is to put a wanted add in your local free...

alter will be £35 inc post if your intrested, its a proper OE renault fitment Valeo one that came off my valver engine when the williams angine went in last month, Fitting isnt difficult provided the nuts arent rounded, just make sure the belt is held in place while you swap them over...

when the light started coming on on my car its was the alernator, but it turned out the alternator was not working at all because one of the wires had broken off, in this case the battery would only last a short time especialy at night and i got stuck with it and had to drive home with the...

RT fogs are smaller, when i ordered mine he asked if i wanted yellow or clear (clear obviously) and they were about £60+VAT this was from GSF parts counter by the lawrence hill round about in Bristol, it amazes me that 1 company can trade under 3 differnt names andyspares,GSF,Sweduetch, in my...

i had a glance through a scooby forum the other day, its well know that the standard scooby exhaust and air box is restrictive, therefore when they do the same simple mods we all do (exhaust & induction kit) there is a good improvment but....... one thing that seems aparent is that when people...

go to 2ltrs if possible, its a large outlay in one go but the differnce is massive, real effortless power, havnt really had the chance to compare it to many other cars yet but its loads quicker then my 16v, its running hillpower stage 1 chip with exhaust de-cat and induction kit, how much...
