not bad. what grade of oil u used? I just got some Delphi 10w 40 semi synthetic, cost about £9. Used in Porsche and BMW apparently so good enough for my valver id say lol. Is magnatec good? Stops the tapping when cold at all?

What you get for major service? Mines done 67K now. Had the cam belt done a few months ago. A PBV is a power boost valve. Improved fuel pressure regulator. Mixed views whether they are any good or not but mine seems to be quick.

Ive seen some about for £4.5K I think they are nice but they dont seem to fetch a lot more than normal 16vs. unless they were the ones with the cossie conversion

Bloody hell! Is that it! Well I got a K &N so that just needs cleanin and oiling. Oil and filter I got already to do. Done 5k since last change so about due. all pads are ok. Changed plugs 2 months ago. new wipers just fitted. Just need a fuel filter which i can do myself. all...

I know 17s may affect the speed mate. I have never driven it with standard rims on though as i had 16s when i first bought it. I would like a set of standard wheels if i saw some cheap enough. Im not overly keen on the standard phase 1 wheels, I prefer the phase 2s I think. But id have a set...

Im thinkin about havin all four alloys repainted if the price is not too high. Just wondering, what colour?? Same. I really like anthracite but dunno if it would suit my car. Anyone good a photoshop who could colour them in somehow? I need some opinions too. I think Anthracite with a...

I dont like to go silly with the mods. Whats the point. I got full leather as standard so the interiors nice. The bodyworks tidy and all a 16V needs is a different set of alloys and they are one of the best lookin hatches on the road. I was thnkin of having the alloys painted gold but I think my...

Get a quote on a 16V mate, you may be surprised with the insurance. They are only group 11. I bet the pugs not far off that. I know my missus AX GT is group 9. 16Vs are well cheap to insure compared with other hot hatches. I had quotes on Saxo VTS and Punto GTs for about £300 more a year...

Lambda sensor probably. Sounds like that to me. It should screw inso the manifold somewhere and have a couple of wires coming off it. They are about £50 I think for a universal one. They are fine. Just need to put in the new sensor and join the wires. You have to cut through the original wires...

I get like that mate. It gets driven normally most of the time but sometimes you just wanna floor it. I sometimes feel dissappointed with mine, think it seems slow. But then other times it seems fast as f**k! WEll pleased with it, even if it costs a lot to run and maintain. Williams is my...

I think ill take mine to a garage to get it done probably. Is steam cleaning really just a big jet wash that shoots out hot water. I got a jet wash, could i just connect the hot tap?

Oops I sometimes drive around with em on and my side lights. Dunno why, just think they look good I think. My mate got a fine once for havin em on. Think I just have em on as its a bit rebellious lol.

Thanks for the positive comments. :D Been feelin a bit downhearted just lately as Id just spent a fortune on paintwork and then a power steering pipe burst and the car was off the road for a few days. Ive had quite a few problems and spent quite a bit since i got the car in feb. Thought about...

Has anyone had this done? My engines looking a tad scruffy (not helped by a power steering pipe pisin fluid everywhere) Just wondered if anyones had there engine steam cleaned? If so did they have any problems. Im a bit scared to get it done incase it hurts any of the electrics etc...
