I put my car into the garage on Friday last week for the alternator to be repaired. I got the mechanic to put in some gearbox oil and the fuel filter to be changed. I got the car back and it really does seem to be really slow, only if I out my foot down it goes. Any ideas?
Driving home from work today and there is a nice collection of water in the interior light, im pretty sure it is coming from the sunroof. Does anyone know the exact location of the sunroof drainage channels? Is it under the rubber seal?
Put too much oil in my dads car for a service and the pressure blasted the cap off and soaked the engine in oil.
Only had one key for my XR2 which I lost and broke into the car with a flathead screwdriver and spent the rest of the weekend fitting a steering coloumn when i only needed a new...
My mate sold me his XR2 on a Q plate, I ripped the living crap out of it, had the Cossie style alloys, which I skimmed, turbo steering wheel and console and the meanest Ford Motorsport Rocker Cover. It was Black with Purple stripes, meshed covered front lights and fogs. The thing just started...
phase 2 dash lights up orange. The oil level on start up on phase 2 clocks stay for 30 secs, my phase 1 one stayed up for ten secs only. I replaced my K reg phase 1 clocks for a set of willy ones.
Sorry to hear it mate, if I were you I would get some mates to follow him home, get him done by the law and then 3 months later pay that C**T a visit. I will lend you my steel toed shoes if ya like so you can break his shins.
Sorry to be so drastic, but i have been mugged before and it really...

If you live close to St Albans my mate Jaz, who works for http://www.topgear.co.ukwww.topgear.co.uk will make one for you, straight from the downpipe. His number is 01727850537. They did my twin exhaust and it is cool.
I think you need to educate these KNOW IT ALLS and show them what your car has got. I suggest taking them out when the car is warm and drive really easy, let them comment on how slow it is and then boot it and watch their faces. ;)

taking the rad out of a valver and fitting a new one was a Fu***r, ripped my hands to shreads taking off the lower hose, also undoing the oil filter is a pain.
I had mine changed when i put in the new exhaust and it has stopped the jumping out of 2nd, it makes a difference, but from all accounts they dont seem to last so i would go for a uprated one, if mine went again.
I went to the Ace cafe in November, and this bloke with a Rsi was giving it, he said his car bottoms out at 140mph, which i think is a load of Sh*T and he reckoned his motor was better than a 16v. We will see !
