YE I'm sure its not an RS if it is its doing well buring diesel.
Should be fine without it I'd get another its desinged to help keep the engine and ra etc free of stones etc.
As has been asked many times there a a page detailing all of this

Another common problem is when you lock the car the alarm beeps 2 or 3 times.
Reason: The alarm system has received a signal from the vehicle ECU that the ignition is...
Early phase 2's have then under the car just like all phase 1's the later cars have them as an inbuilt part of the tank which is expensive to tplace.
No need to change them til 150k at leat.
Insurance depends on the company some wn't let you other will for fees other will do it for free.
No huge differecne for most type that you'd realy feel.
Vipers the best
Nothing to worry about red lines desinged to protect ideal you don't want to slam into it but change before ignition cut to stop shocking the engine mounts etc but its no problem.
Check the connection on the switch.
There always slow a bit of oil helps them but there not wonderful clean and oil the runners but thats about all you can do.
Possible yes like most things
Its beeing done now its been done before I think but they gave up.
Its a lot of work the engines way to big realy and underpowered for its size there better engine out there for the Hp and size.
Cost well it would be a DIY jobbie so parts alone and...
almost the redline in first then dropping down the revs to keep the maximum power band you go more over max in first as when you chnage up revs down drop as far so adverage power is higher
Accident damage.
Rust (there shouldn't be any)
Check for the electrical all working any wonky noise check it stears and brakes in a straight lines and bodged panel gaps etc.
Fuel filter is changed at 150k and its fine and since on the later Mk2 172's its part of the senser unit its quite expensive.
10-40 semi is fine the rules and regs say so long as outside temps don't drop below -20 deg 10-40 is fine. If temps drops to upto -25 you need 5-40. 5-40 is better...
No any enginnering place or even DIY redrilling of the holes would fix it.
Anyway Leda dampers should be able to be rebuilt by loads of places I'd have thourght. I'd expect one ex employee if they go bust will set up repairing there stuff
Most likly the'lll just go for a chnage of markets...
You need a rr test realy to see where the cars power is being made before knowing ideal shift points but I'd think you should be chnaging up at 6k in 1st then lower the shift chnage as the gearing gets higher to maximise your power.
You should realy replace both sides so both front or both rear at once.
However I'd chnage all 4 so there all equal age etc.
Stock would be my preference Bilstein do a replacment set but I'm not impressed stock are a few quid (litrally) more expensive and I fell a better setup.
£50 a...
Find one being broken for bits or use the Mk2 phase 2 calipers from anone RS care as they are the same (or should be there a fe that use the smaller 239mm disks all will be the 1.2 8V.
£3.2k someone getting ripped off.
Thats well overpriced even if you fix it for say £3k (assuming some of the damage isn't as bad as it looks its still overpriced since it will be a catagory write off.
