PMSL! Can honestly say I've never done that before, I have missed a gear before and had the dreaded crunch (not in this cup). How high were your revs? I'd imagine if you did it alot you'd strip the teeth off the cogs.

It's French? Lol. Wouldn't be anything to do with a worn dog bone mount would it? although generally that normally effects 3rd gear and reverse.

I never knew you lived in Stockport Lol. It was at Stockport Cruise/Meet. The one near the Stockport Junction off the M60. Can't be more specific because I'm not all that familiar with the area. It came hammering passed us, took a few seconds to register because we heard the noise then saw a...

You know when you say it doesn't start, when you turn the key to start it, is there no nothing there, i.e nothing even trying to fire/start? Mine did this on the Cat&Fiddle meet, BenP fiddled with the sensor that's under the bonnet then it started.

Think I saw this last night. It drove past me and my mates and it certainly sounded like it was turbo charged.

To remove the torx bolts I used a drill with a torx bit, came out really easily.

Are you talking about the IsoFix bar? (I think it's called that). It sits just behind the rear seats.

Really? Majority of the comments I've seen about it have been positive. I'll give it ago and if it's not suitable it's not that much of a loss. With it be non-acidic is a good thing.

Same here, I've just ordered from I4detailing.

Is this only available online from places as an example like I4deatailing? Or can you buy it off the shelf? if so where can you get it from?

There's a guide in the guide section for metal polishing but beware if you do start polishing it yourself it takes alot of time and patience. I wish I hadn't started doing mine now :dapprove:

At the shell garage in Sale. Was quite an oldish guy, long hair beard etc.

PMSL! If it's a guy he's not going to admit to it now seeing as you've mentioned a tanning studio. :rasp:

Awww I was hoping to enjoy the video then but I'm to late as Mark's removed the long version :dapprove:

No problem mate ;) lol

If you care about the car I'd stick with what you've been putting in, or if you're like me when I had my Escort (didn't give a s**t) use it.

Drink it! ;)

Mine was missing it's jack when I bought mine, previous owner had probably broken it (they're not very good). I invested in a trolley jack for mine.

Sounds like you may have a problem somewhere if the rev limiter is cutting in at 6750rpm. On the day you said it felt more alive, the problem had probably corrected it's self. RS's do feel poor until properly warmed up though.

I've tried that in the past, might last long enough for the M.O.T but after a short time the moisture will eat away at the paste and you'll have the leak again.

Every car aerial I've come across simply screws off but if you've had a wrench on it sounds like your's is stuck on with something.

I have, I remember reading in the paper a few years some old guy got 3 points on his licence for having an empty water bottle. You'd have to be incredibly unlucky and catch a mini-hitler copper while he/she is having a bad day to end up with that though.

Have you altered the suspension in anyway? if not then I believe Cup packed 182s sit slightly lower than non cup packed 182s in standard form.

Oh nooo, not Dynamat, you'll regret that if you ever want to remove it at somepoint. :dead:

Yeah the back end will become more unstable lol. You do notice a little difference once you've stripped the back out but it gets very echoey, especially if you've got an aftermarket exhaust.

Take it the cambelt needs to come off to replace the water pump? and would that mean a new cambelt if it is taken off? Sure I've read somewhere it's advised to use a new cambelt if the old one is removed for whatever reason

Lol talking of the dipstick, on my previous Cup I never found the dipstick, I just presumed it didn't have one and it went off the electric gauge inside the car :o I found the washer bottle fairly quickly though.

LOL! whilst using the left handed wrench to take off the filter? :rasp:

Sure it's not your brain that "broke'd"? ;)

Lol! have you been on the sauce? That's the 3rd time I've seen you type that in someone's thread in a matter of minutes.
