normally the higher the more worn the clutch is

the one from prima is 35 quid, having a similar problem with my pattern part system catching the rear beam so looking at fixes

jesus, where exactly was this lodged? did you have the standard airbox on?

doh - i am working that day too

will a battery disconnect not do the trick?

i would say get it to your local garage for investigation - especially if your not very car savvy as you say

does it mean your rear load sensor? what advice did the MOT place give? has it failed?

the rear discs only contain the bearings, for the fronts the old one will need to be pressed out and new one pressed in, take your hub off and take it to any garage with your new wheel bearing and they will do it for a little bit of beer money

a dremel might work (if you have access to one)

have you changed anything recently ?

yep looks same as mine (standard)

good point on the coil pack (if you end up taking it off) the threads seem pretty delicate NGK only on the 172\182

if it has snapped i wouldn't drive until fixed , or at least as little as possible - rear springs are easy to change

just get the back end jacked up, any problem should be obvious then, also worth checking the top of the struts are ok (under the plastic caps in the boot )

doh didnt see that the rear mounts are proper dog s**t on the backbox - it practically does nothing in standard form without the help of a few cable ties

no problem as long as they are in good condition - they should last well past 5k as long as your not tracking it !

fred at btm does them i believe , you will need to be a paid up member to see, you will need to get saving as they ain't cheap, everyone raves about them on here mind!

one for the back box which is secured by 3 bolts, and one for the center section . i have just replaced mine tonight actually and reused the center section one but got a new non genuine one for the backbox....its vibrating a little on the rear beam so maybe need to lift the exhaust a little. any...

people tend to stick with turinis on cups, have you seen the 2118s ?

mine has never dropped under 30 , let us know if resetting it does the trick

I am picking one up later today - £75 from my local parts place

can a DCI go fast? :) ....only kidding

i have a pipercross on mine and at the moment in 2 minds as to whether i should keep it on - sounds good though I wouldnt bother with a JMS if i change, will go with a V6 / Ph1 i think

i would say coilpack however the fact it only happens when cold means it may not be the case....do they have an Idle Control Valve (ICV)?

they are m8 iirc by roughly 40mm long

also more robust than oe ones - mainly just for looks though

I have wondered this and decided that hidden was the way forward - mine has just dropped off so sounds like a tank however i am replacing it with a pattern part center section from A1 in church - not bothered about noise.... already had a backbox 2 weeks ago from them, perfect fit

look at this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Autosmart-25l-TARDIS-9tar-and-glue-remover-/160568189070?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item25629c208e ok if you have the space!

yeah as camble said - plugs/air filter, fuel filter are good places to start as they are cheap to replace

depends what you want mate, do you want a visible tail pipe?
