Hopefully should have my powerflex mounts for the dogbone mount this week, just a question regarding fitting, am I right in thinking there's no need to support the engine before removing the dogbone mount? Logically thinking about it, you shouldn't need to because the two upper mounts will...

When I take the revs quite high in 1st gear then change quickly in to 2nd, I sometimes get a slight crunch, nothing major but I can feel it through the gear stick. Would replacing the mount in the dogbone mount to an uprated mount make a difference? Like I say it's nothing really bad and it's...

Another strange problem, when I pull the stalk back to fire the water to wash my screen the jets work normally and fire a decent amount of water out and will do until I release the stalk but if I pull the stalk back again I get a pathetic dribble from the jets. If I leave it 20 seconds or so...

Not entirely sure if it was a 172 because I only saw it briefly but it had white turinis and was parked up near the BetFred in higher Irlam on Liverpool Road around 11amish today.

With the starter being so close to the manifold, can the heat from the manifold cause problem, well more so for the solenoid because it doesn't seem to be protected from the heat? Asking because my starter has been playing up again, so much so I couldn't get it started today and had to call...

Female driver going over century bridge towards the M602 yesterday around 7.45pm ish.

After a couple of posts I've made here and there on people's threads blaming a recently fitted upper engine mount, it turned out I was blaming the wrong thing lol. I knew the centre exhaust mount was tired when I fitted my exhaust but I left it thinking it wasn't overly important. Anyway I...

My dipped beam decided it didn't want to work last night, the side lights and main beam work though. I've done a search and found that it could be down to a faulty fuse or relay but from what I've read people who've had this problem don't get that green headlight light lighting up on the dash...

What is it that actually causes this to happen? Only asking because my mates 106 Gti does it regular and he doesn't know why either. It generally does it when he changes gear at high rpm, it makes a loud bang with a lick of flame from his tail pipe usually followed by a bit of black smoke...

Came across this beauty as I was delivering around the top end of Irlam. You'll have to forgive the poor pictures as I had to take them quickly as I was walking past it without anyone seeing me.

Saw you bare left after leaving the M60 towards Trafford Centre, when I came passed you was queuing waiting to get in to the car park. Had a quick glance as I went passed and I think it was a young lad driving with dark hair and had a female passenger. Was around 16.30-16.45ish I think.

Decided I'm just going to switch internet providers because the one I'm currently with is rubbish. So I rang them requesting a MAC code so I can switch over hassle free. I was told it takes up to 5 days for a code to be generated and I'll receive it via an email. Is that true it takes up to 5...

As the title says it's a little weird this one. Last week my internet randomly stopped working, upon inspecting the router I noticed the green light for the internet had gone out. Tried alsorts to sort, resetting the router, running through the process of setting the router up again etc...

Is it really worth it if I can get hold of one? I know I run the risk of ending up with one as bad as the one currently fitted to my car but I'm kind of low on funds at the moment and the one I have fitted is steadily getting worse and I'm having to bang it to get it to engage on a daily basis...

Around 11.30am ish, saw it parked up at the bottom of Dean road in the Richard Reylond court car park.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1130699.htm Is it wrong I actually quite like it? lol It's way to modified for me though as I'd be looking for something a little more standard.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/712822.htm Been offered it as a part-x deal for my Cup. I'm not to sure the wheels suit the car but that could easily be rectified.

Yet another one of those faults that appear then disappear. While parked up stationary on a slight incline I got strange sensation through the steering wheel while turning the steering wheel from lock to lock, after a few times it started creaking on full lock to the right. Sounded just like a...

As a straight swap for my Cup. Lol. and before anyone asks, NO! I'm not considering it. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1008061.htm

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1115561.htm After some thought I've decided to stick my car up for sale on Piston heads to see if I get any interest. Feel free to point any flaws/faults in the advert, just as long as it's constructive criticism and not blatant flaming :rasp: I know the...

My non starting problem seems to have returned, fuel pump is priming but the engine won't crank. Left it for a while went back to it and it fired up straight away. Killed the engine and went to restart it and the engine stopped cranking again. What the hell is going on? Really winding me up...

Tried searching on here but there's no pictures with the descriptions of where to top the geabox oil up or I couldn't find any. In the pictures, is this where the gearbox oil is topped up?

Just thought I'd post a few pictures of my progress with polishing up my fuel rail guard. It's certainly one of those jobs I wished I hadn't started and paid someone else to do it for me, it's taking ages as I'm only doing a couple of hours on it now and then. Just a question though, while...

Decided to remove mine off my car to see if was split/worn. There seems to be a split in the rubber, I took some photos of it. Is this knackered and could be the reason I get the knocking noise on hard acceleration?

How much do each of the standard engine mounts cost individually? Tried searching but only found symptoms of possible engine mount failures. Also where is the lower gearbox mount? I've located the other 3 and they seem to be in reasonable condition so I'm presuming the knocking noise I'm...

Contemplating selling the Cup and getting something else, due to it's recent non-starting issues and costing me a small fortune to put it right I've really fell out with the car. On the drive back from Renault I really couldn't be bothered with it and getting home couldn't come soon enough. At...

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1097306.htm Not very knowledgeable on Gti's yet but it does look like a decent example, Guy's asking 2k for it, good price or not?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1057392.htm Just came across this Saxo Vts on PistonHeads, why do people insist on typing things that give the impression it's been hammered every single day of it's life "this car is rapid eats 172 182 clios for fun it has 150 bhp". Maybe it's just me but...

Took mine off today to clean as a last resort to try and resolve my non starting problem but noticed there was a gap all the way round it, you could push it so it closed more and it closed the gap, is the normal? See picture!

Had this problem at the Cat&Fiddle run but BenP sorted it it for me by fiddling with the bonnet sensor but I can't remember what he did. When I try to start it there's nothing there, the fuel pump starts to prime and I get the battery and Stop light on the dash, the battery isn't dead because...
