Looks lovely now it's together. Proper fresh looking in red too. What do you reckon you'll see from it?

Love that! Always wanted a bug eye Prodrive

Nice to see another being saved. Would still love a nice phase 1.

If you need to look behind you, you're not going fast enough 😂

It does sound similar to the engine mount vibration. How stiff is the guard? If you were getting contact between it and the engine/gearbox, I wondered if you might hear it more but, if it's pretty stiff, you may not I suppose. Yeah I would 100% use threaded bosses if it was on a rally car...

Rivnuts are a bit of an odd choice for this application in my view. Fine for your use, but I think I would want something a bit more substantial on a rally car, as the sump guard is going to be on and off a lot, and it is so easy to damage them. Anyway, that's nothing to do with this :ROFLMAO...

You're definitely selling the wrong car lol

I give it a fortnight. If that.

Looks well, but god I still hate the mud flap rules lol. The rear ones are so ridiculous on FWD cars.

Car went in this week to have the manifold swapped out: New and old: Evidence of a previous repair: It's better, but I do wonder if there is a bit of a blow from the join. Sounds a bit odd with the windows down. Will see how it goes for now. The guy at the garage said to just pop back...

Wow.

GTi TCR was a bit of a letdown really, especially after the Clubsport S.

A friend of mine has just bought one of these. I really like it. How much was the exhaust? My friend has talked about upgrading his.

Spotted in a driveway near home today:

I can't believe you're selling this and keeping the Chelsea tractor 🤣

Look at this - a MK1 Laguna, complete WITH it's splitter 😂

I keep trying to resist, but I keep failing lol

It looked good I thought, though I think the R does look better as a five-door really.

Couple of recent spots... Old skool Unimog: And a modified Golf R. They do look decent with aftermarket wheels:

Had the rear wheels balanced today: Had the fronts done a couple of weeks ago as, ever since I fitted the Speedlines, there was a bad vibration through the steering. The fronts were 50g and 20g out and, while having them balanced improved it a lot, I could still feel some vibration through...

What is it?

Spotted this today - anyone on here?

Welcome aboard! I wouldn't go too mad as it's your first car, but a set of wheels and a subtle suspension drop would do wonders for it. You could always fit the seats and door trims from a 172/182 as well, just to make the interior a bit sportier.

I wouldn't worry about miles anymore, unless you want a real collector's item. They're all 15-20 years old now, so low mileage cars aren't going to common now. It's all about condition.

Maybe. But not yet.

Oh god, now I feel like I should do mine.

Nice, like a MK3 Cavalier

I think there are probably too many unknowns there to definitively blame the venue. I would put that down to coincidence. With the used pumps, you simply don't know their history in terms of fluid changes, whether they've been run low on fluid, or whether they have been used on track. I would...

What I'm trying to get at is that, by knowing the cause, it's easier to identify the workaround. Fitting a different pump may not be the solution. Do they have cooling as standard? I would assume it's the fluid overheating and causing wear to the pump, so it may be enough to fit a new OEM pump...

What's the actual problem that causes the pump to fail?
