You can get one for £200-250 if you put 4k down.

Luckily the car I drove had the pp fitted. Going around a roundabout and nail it you can feel it pulling you in, so much grip in a little car! I think I may have to get one....

Funny this thread got a bump, I went to Ford yesterday and drove the new Fiesta ST and it was bloody brilliant. I quite liked the fast steering, the throttle was immediate and the torque was impressive! Even made a decent noise. I was seriously impressed, I was not expecting to laugh my head off...

Good is the answer, I havent had the chance to go round the twisties yet as it's been s**t weather and traffic, but the small windows of opportunity I have had, it felt good and the back felt alot better, but I need a proper run for a verdict. Really impressed with the guys at Wheels In Motion...

I can safely say the car is done for now. Few little bits I would like to do but nothing that cant wait, just odd bits of trim and stuff. Went for a proper alignment today, discovered one of the front wishbone bolts was wrong and dangerously too short so I went over to the local dealer who kept...

My so called refurb calipers I got were s**t so we ended up fitting new ones and the difference was night and day. The issue with the steering wheel rubbing is sorted. Handbrake is all good, then I got my refund from the alignment place so gonna book it in and that should be the final job lol...

Well according to some settings I found it's out in a few places.

Right good news and bad news again, always a f**king drama with this car. Got it back from alignment and it pulled left took it straight back and they said "we will put it on the ramp" I walked round the back and he was lying on his back adjusting it. I drove it again and it was pulling right...

Cars all back together, went surprisingly well tbh. I decided to have a go fitting my stereo, found some more old wires to remove. In all honesty I was expecting far worse. Sadly the stereo wont remember the settings so I guess it needs a permanent live as it has the switch live. I will see if...

Going back on Saturday morning and not leaving till everything is 100%. We reckon they didnt set the handbrake mechanism properly when returning the calipers but we will order a spare set just incase. Might answer the soft pedal issue also. By saturday I want it 100%

Car is back with me, some good and some bad. Good Car feels so much nicer to drive, maybe a bit firmer but so much more composed on damping and feels very tight. Even tho alignment is out, the turn in is very good, good control on change of direction. Must be amazing with a anti lift kit...

You can get kits on ebay that come with a dial, I had one and it allows you to change the resistance.

Just got the bill and collecting later this evening. Total was just under £700 which i think is decent considering i had to have a wheel bearing/hub as well. Was only charged for antifreeze, brake fluid, bulbs, alternator pulley and wheel bearing kit, plus 10 hours of labour (decided against...

Most standard places will charge anywhere from £30-50, but that would just be for your basic alignment. Places like Tyre City etc would charge £30 per adjustment. Unfortunately as the car has had so much taken off, it will need a lot of correcting, but if it turns out by some miracle not to need...

Should be picking up the car tonight, got a call saying someone had ground down one of the hubs in the past for some reason. They must of had issues trying to get the rear brakes off or something. So new wheel bearing/hub assembly going in as well. Went to VW to pick up my new centre vents and...

Had one of the worst if not the worst cars days ever. Went out to try and fix my cigarette lighter, which turned out to not even be plugged in to find the passenger footwell absolutely flooded. We have had a lot of really heavy rain lately so clearly had a leak. My first thought turned out to be...

That didn't hang about!

As it's you, 6k and its yours 😂

At least who ever buys it is getting a very sorted car for cheap 😂😂

One place reckons 28 hours to do all the work.... Anyways its booked in on Tuesday so hopefully goes alright, just got into a panic attack about it.

Guys i don't know what to do, i thought getting the parts myself and then paying someone to fit them would be easy! There seems to be a lot more to this then just unbolting and bolting on a few new parts.... The prices to do everything i want are coming out at anywhere from 1500-2000 from...

I find it alot easier to aim on PC, i am so s**t on console compared.

Watched a few of your videos yesterday Mark and i like your approach. Keep it up :)

@Big_Steve_T be careful with the power steering pumps, the tolerance for the pulley is about 1mm! I had a bit of a battle in the past! If you can, go electric power steering if not you may need tools to adjust the pulley. When i took it to Engine Dynamics they said it was out of spec and i sent...

Looks like a virgin router 😂 At least they have been bold with the design.

Good trick for battle.net/pc users that seems to have sorted mine out. Whilst its downloading open the settings, go to bandwidth change latest updates to 300 then click done. Pause the download and wait 3/4 seconds then resume, go back into settings and set it back to 0 and your done. My speed...

I don't know is the answer to that, i can't think of a good justification. Just tempted by a more modern car.

No idea tbh, i still have a room full of parts so i could either sell with all the parts for new owner or have it all fitted at my expense, but not sure if it would be worth it? I guess a car with basically a new DSG with warranty, cam belt, new suspension, brakes, tyres and all the little jobs...
