You're only 30 minutes from me being in Welwyn

not unusual for a worn out downpipe gasket to cause a knock. Once the gasket is worn the springs loosen up

they overhang parts of the head and rocker cover so it wont come apart if the pulleys are still on.

All my 205s have done that too. Odd design, epic engine

Mintex M1144 are ideal for road use. If you're not goin on track they're perfect, and considerably cheaper than the Ferodos

I know with the CL's there's the RC5 and the RC5+ which is meant to be lower squeel and kinder to disks. That may be what they mean. What are you using them for? Those are some seriously hardcore compounds, and none are suited for road use.

going by location, it is SUPER cold in derbyshire and i doubt you've had the chance to give the car a decent run or even get it warm. I'd think it's condensation, but keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse

pipercross is better and cheaper. so that answers both questions ;)

Most likely down to engine movement. Could be worn mounts, or could just be something loose. Dogbone mount bushes are the most obvious culprit

doesn't sound like it's getting fully up to temperature to me. 3-4 miles wont be enough driving to warm the engine fully with the outside temperatures being so cold. My coolant was at -11 yesterday when i first started the engine, that takes a fair bit of energy to warm up.

you need to remove the pulleys before the cover will come off

oh FFS

managed to push it into the door yet this time?

Been using this dongle for about 3 months. In the last few days I've not been able to use MSN at all. I get an error code 8100030d. Troubleshooter says it's an invalid IP address. the "repair" button doesn't make any changes that help, so i'm a bit stuck now Help please

yeah that sounds like the belt is just loose

high load on the alternator, trying to re-charge the battery after starting. If the battery is weak it takes more alternator current. This makes the alternator harder to turn, and thus the belt can slip

this

they've probably cocked up the fitting. Incorrect seal is a common one

NTK or Bosch only really. Cheaper brands are not as durable. A motor factor would be a good start ;)

Could need the belt tightening, or it could be that your battery isn't liking the cold

what's that???? Sorry, i can't hear you, WHAT??????? you're 2 miles away??????

the description on the website says it's specificly for use with the ultra exhaust. Dont have a compatible exhaust, buy the decat that does fit yours ;) Would fit with a piper system also fyi ;)

slides into the mid section of an aftermarket exhaust, removing the need for an olive joint ;) looks like it's been dropped or taken a hit on that end to squash it a bit. As long as you can get a leak free seal, it'll make next to no difference

well that was a low blow :(

Same as that, much more fun when everyone knew everyone and it wasn't all about what wheels and bodykit you had fitted.

leaving the car idling is a good way to encourange condensation in the engine and breather system.

it takes you 10!!!!!! minutes to scrape the ice off?

Pah, where were you in 2002?

LOL, someone just got the driftworks newsletter email ;)

Start engine, de-ice windows, get in, drive
