    Pops and bangs, maybe it’s not meant to be?

    Injects but doesn't ignite I would assume..

    Worth a viewing?

    If the servicing wasn't mentioned in the ad, you'd have called up. Chances are you'd not have noticed that level of detail in the service history. Maybe it's just the major ones ? As someone once told me - service history is just a list of things the car no longer has..... Get it -...

    Knocking Sound

    Leave a bigger gap to the car in front. Buy better tyres.

    The Impreza picture and discussion thread

    Hasn't actually moved since..... May ? :( Oil leak, wheel bearing or something at the back end and it idles at 2.5k so assume the ICV gasket has gone. Needs some serious TLC. Poor burblebus :( Millennium Revolution or Revolution Millenniums .. can't remember haha

    Tax Renewal on a Mk4 Clio

    It's not really luck, is it ? The costs are not hidden when you buy a particular car. Both of mine are something like £230. Guess I had some back luck not getting one of the diesel 90's Imprezas.

    Coilovers

    BC Racing are on both of my cars .. I think they're fantastic. MicKPM sells them and ran them on his own car. Dr Jekyll too and some others... Had regular Gaz adjustables on my old Clio .. no issues there. Spax seem to be very poor quality at the moment - would avoid. Avoid anything...

    Unplug it ? Have you checked and confirmed that was what set it off...? It could be boot / bonnet / sensors / LH/RH side door...

    Alarm goes off randomly

    RTFM Dawnie... Count the beeps or flashes or whatever it does on these. Find out what triggered it and go from there. Really heavy rain might have just triggered the pressure sensors... Maybe ?

    Ktec coilovers to bouncy! how to stiffen up?

    Sounds like they're too stiff. Put couple of mates in the back seats and I bet it gets better...

    Filthy Fiesta ST (Cleaning product suggestions please)

    I suggest you learn how to get in and out without wiping your leg against the lower parts of the car, TBQFHBBQ. In all seriousness - take it to someone like Jim @ WD in/near Notts and get it sorted properly. Cleaned, sealed, wheels and bodywork. Buy a very nice wash mitt and some...

    182 failed on emissions

    Don't know what it is - but no. Just no. Get the car hot. And I mean HOT... Go for a 20+ min drive before going directly to the MOT centre. Be in a gear or two lower than you should be everywhere. Get it stinking hot - job done. You can see the thing wasn't nearly warm enough as the...

    Cub's Flamer - Supercharged, Cage etc

    Re: Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc IIRC them's the rulez. Build track car. Spend all of the money. Don't go near a track. Sell or break car. Get some money back. Enjoy the feeling of "making money" to spend on new toys. Wonder why you have no money.

    How do you get rid of a 182 body roll

    Every day is a school day .. Even someone like Tony Hunter will tell you we've all got something to learn. ;)

    How do you get rid of a 182 body roll

    TBQFH.. It sounds like some driver training might be needed. Stiffer it is, the more susceptible to LOOS it will be to some extent.. Why are you lifting off mid corner anyway ? A little bit of oversteer is fine because you might want to tuck the front end in a little... grabbing armfuls of...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    TIDL: People offering me advice to clean my fairly decent headlights... 'Use toothpaste and then when that's cleaned your lights, use polish to protect them as it will have UV barriers in.' Err ... LULwotm8 ? T-cut was also mentioned.

    using too much fuel.

    Something is very wrong here. If you were ~5% different' I'd not be worried. 50% .. something's wrong. The computer should know how much it's putting in per squirt .. so it should be pretty accurate. Are you filling and calculating brim to brim ? I assume you are... How many miles...

    Rare Clio found - mk1 with 2 gearboxes

    Clio Sport on OZ F1's!

    £60-80 a wheel !? Normally powdercoating refurbishment is ~£50 a wheel. Best time to do them IMO is when you need new tyres as they'll normally put them on for you included in the price ;)
