    Oil top up?!

    Checked the cup this morning to see how the oil level was and it was a bit down. I know the dip sticks on these are as useful as a chocolate tea pot but after I'd topped it up, the level was over the top mark (must have poored it like I do a beer!). Would a little too much oil be a problem, I...

    Exhaust tweakers in Hertfordshire?

    As above, anyone know anywhere that can re weld exhaust mounts and tweak my exhaust? Since the mount snapped a few months ago which was fixed, the tail pipe sits a bit lower than it did. Could do with fine tuning.

    FAO: Gary G (and Parada users)

    How are you finding these tyres? I can imagine wet grip levels aren't great but then I don't push it when it is wet so no problem. My contis (which I can't fault) are going to be shot after my trackday on 4th March so will be needing a new set of boots all round. I do a lot of motorway...

    Sitting in the usual grid lock M25 traffic this morning and up rolls a black Vantage...it really is the best of british imo. A beautiful car and it sounded as sweet as a nut too.

    Bit the bullet, she's staying

    The cup that is, got the cambelt changed and had the leaking water pump changed at the same time. Was going to change cars but she's sound as a pound according to my mechanic mate. And she's also flying at the mo, just run in nicely. 65,000 miles of bliss:D Finally got the Goodridge hoses...

    Dilema, for real now!

    65,000 miles is approaching quick. Gonna have the cambelt changed along with water pump (if needed), AUX belt etc when it's all in bits as soon as I can. Question is, do I keep it or chop it in for another low mileage 172 cup. Don;t really want a different car and the test drives I've had...

    Pop!

    4th set (on one side) of headlamp bulbs went at the weekend and the side light! Sure they're supposed to last quite a while? Anyone else get through bulbs like this? f**king annoying.

    182 cup intermittent wiper Q??

    A mate off mine has a 182 cup and to be frank the intermittent wiper setting is s**t! No adjustment. My 172 cup has the full adjustable settings from slow to one click away from constant. Can you change the stalk, is it expensive? Any help would be great, cheers.

    Michelin PE2's

    I don't follow the threads on here like I used to so apologies for possibly repeating something. I'm gonna need tyres all round soon so thought about trying the Michelins this time as all I hear is good reviews. Trouble is my tyre guy wants around 100 snots each fitted! Anywhere I can get...

    Creaking cup?!

    For the past 1500 miles or so I've noticed an annoying creak that sounds like it coming from the boot/rear area of the car and haven't a clue what it is. Would knackered bushings cause this beiing 60,000 miles old? I don't get much time to book her in because of my commute so thought someone...

    HELP!! Exhaust Q?

    Noticed a knocking over small/large bumps and thought it was spring related but found out it's my exhaust! One of the mounts for the back box has snapped. Trouble is I have a long commute and don't know anywhere where I work to get it checked. I guess what I'm asking is will it f**k up the...

    Mark Fish Maxogen kit update

    Only small news but one of my best buddy's got a call from him the other week asking if he'd design/develop the cold air scoop (he works in GRP). So as he has a 182 cup he might blag a test freebee. One for me too Mr. Fish lol.
