Although according to the castrol wesite the oil is API SL approved so should that not be ok for a petrol engine? I'll change it if I need too but it will be £80 down the drain and a lesson learnt!!

I changed my oil about 1000miles ago. I went to halfords and the only recomended fully synth 5w40 grade oil they had was Castrol Edge recomended for Turbo Diesels. Now I probably should have known that diesel and petrol oils are different but I didn't. I checked with the mechanic at Halfords...

I doubt you will get fade with a good disk, race pad and braided lines

clutch cable?

i'm looking forward to it as i may have to treat myself and get matched inlets at the same time!!!

Not so crap when some chav is trying to get your alloys off though!!!

May I ask why you need that much stopping power when even the stock brakes are more than up to the job? Just get some brembo disks and race pads if you need more stopping power.....

^^ I like exaltos

Ive got greenstuff and Brembo Max on mine think there a good combo the biggest improvement came from dot 5.1 fluid and braided lines though.

I used to post allot on OcUK and coolercases but this forum is taking up more of my time especially seeing as my pc is starting to get a bit dated!!!!

Funnily enough i just come on here to bump this thread and see how its developing

Vista has allot of crap installed with it to try and improve security and make life easier for people that arn't necessarily going to be using it to its full potential. Just like XP it benefits massivly by having certain unused/annoying functions disabled such as UAC. As for hardware I have...

I've had vista since it came out. If your PC is of a reasonable spec the speed between the two is minimal. Vista always looks as though it is using large amount of RAM however the OS is actually loading the program that you use most often into the system RAM so that they load quicker. This...

I just park as far away from anyone as I can now although i'm starting to become quite parinoid about it!!!

Unfortunately not I have a patch a little bigger than a 50p piece on the corner of my bumper which is down to the plastic. Need to get it sprayed in or get the whole bumper done as it really annoys me!

Yeah mines covered in stone chips too plus some lovely person bumped the rear bumper in tescos car park and has taken my paint with them!!

I work for AudioSoft which is just off of the Lidels car park I'm only there on a years placement from Uni. I'm renting atm in Brockworth near Gloucester. Your car looked pretty tidy from the glimpse that I got of it!!

Yeah was me saw you going the opposite way sounded like you gave it some beans. Do you live/work in cirencester?

sounds expensive. Mine has acutually stopped doing it or at least the new oil is buffering it enough for me not to notice... odd

I had a play with a type r the other day the clio was faster up to about 80 then he started gaining I let him past just before triple figures but he definately had an advantage at that point.

As said just going easy on the brakes for a couple of hundred miles is the best way to bed them in

Let me know how it goes

Thought only m3's came with them?

Who knows mine wasnt as bad on the way home tonight will just have to keep an eye on it and try to match revs better on downshift. I have an RAC warrenty till Jan 09 do you think it would be covered under that?

^ no idea. Possibly i'm sure someone with some know how will answer here though

Dan 172 what came of this as im experincing similar problems. Thanks

Yeah i thought they did also. I'm going to be annoyed if thats the case as it cost 60 quid!!!

no never crunched before thats what i find odd and it only does it changing down which is weird also

Up to the bottom of the fill port and 75w-90 Royal Purple. Cheers

As title really changed my gearbox oil now when downshifting at high speeds into 3rd I get a crunch its fine at low speeds and when changing up but its still annoying. Never did it with the old oil. Could this be a mount or linkage or is it the syncro going? Just seems wierd that it only...
