Can't help with the fuel but the water leak is one of two things;
Leaves blocking the scuttle drain (remove all the bits, pull out the rubber bung, sorted)
Or it's the brake master cylinder to bulkhead seal. An absolute t**t of a job and one that I'll happily pay someone else to do.
I've witnessed an apprentice drive a 6 month old 7 series off a ramp. That was 6ft in the air.
I know of two drivers crash two customers cars into each other at traffic lights.
A mechanic (who's now fired) went and sat in a customers car for a fag on his dinner break and burnt a hole the...
What do you mean 'down the pecking order' ?
He's a customer. Simple as that.
I don't understand how people get away with s**t like this?? We get monumentally fucked if we're more than 12 hours late with a customer deadline.
To the point that some of our blokes start at 4am to make sure the...
50 mile or 150 miles i'd have been down there. I wish my customers were as easy as you!!
They haven't been repairing your rust. It doesn't take 8 weeks. In fact you'd be hard pushed to drag it out 8 days!
You need to find out wtf they've done to your car.
My bet is, they've crashed it.
Mines £3k and it's as good as anything out there.
Hmmm, not sure. I assume so??
It can keep up with my mates MCS up until about 80mph.
Unless it's wet. Driving a tdi hard in the wet is pointless. Zero traction as soon as it picks up.
I took it on a track day and whilst I agree about the handling day to day, on track it's actually quite good. Everyone that came out in it couldn't believe what I was keeping up with. And it did 25mpg over the whole day! Lol
My Subaru won't do that downhill with the wind behind it let alone on...
160bhp with a map.
With a different intake, hybrid turbo and some odds and sods, 200+bhp and 400+ft lb of torque.
It goes like stink as standard though. I e yet to drive it and think "this needs more power". It's just got torque everywhere.
I love this little car. It's fantastic!
I washed it after work and took some pics as I've got someone half interested in buying it.
If anyone wants a cheap to run, quick, comfy car I'd thoroughly recommend one. (In red or silver, black is a pain in the f**king ass!)
If it's purely a track car you're pissing in the wind in all honesty.
My mate has a track only car. His wheels were powder coated and polished/sealed and after 10/15 track days they're pitting and bubbling up already.
IPA will dissolve rattle can lacquer so go careful.
I'd just send them for powder coating. £40 a wheel is cheap as chips and you know they'll be done properly.
Seal them with a quality product and bob's your monkhouse.
I personally wouldn't buy an unknown box.
If you remove it, fit a new clutch, refit it all and its whining, you're going to be very very angry.
(That happens loads on here btw!)
I'd buy a nearly dead one and get someone reputable to rebuild it before fitting it. I'd say get yours refurbed...
I have one cloth that's soaked in it. I just spray 3 or 4 squirts over the area and then wipe the whole panel.
I'd offer to send you a sample but I don't think it would last the journey. Parcel kicking Postman c***s.
