I had this. It may be warped discs as above but more likely you have pad deposits on the disc. These should wear off as you use the car on the road.

You can access all the onboard computers not just the engine ecu. It is very useful but a proper one will be over a grand.

I had mine tested without the cat, CO was 0.6%, the limit is 0.2. With the cat it was 0.02%

You mean not having an airbag? When I spoke to my MOT man about it he said it wouldn't be a problem as long as the airbag light wasn't on, its down to interpretation I was going to try to hide the wires but it quickly became apparent it wasn't going to happen. Using the original switches...

Lol, I know this car. Its in my parents village and has sat on the drive for at least the past 6 years. I always had a good chuckle at it every time I went past.

Finally got round to sorting my cruise control after fitting a new steering wheel. Used this mount - http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/steering-wheel-bosses-accessories/sparco-steering-wheel-buttons and some extra buttons from ebay. I can do a guide if anyone is interested.

I run ET35 on a cup packed 182 (ET45 standard) and its fine so you'll have no issues.

There is no powerflex option for the upper mounts, its standard or what you've got.

I swap mine every couple of months. This means theres never a big difference between two to avoid any possible oversteer issues. I think you'll be fine swapping them but don't come running to me if you've parked it in a hedge!

They won't come out - ever. I managed to move mine enough so the bearing could be replaced with no problem. Just moving one took a few hours and much swearing. I'm not even sure if its a problem fitting a bearing with them in place anyway.

The smell is because you haven't used the ac enough, mine us the same at the mo. You can get bombs you put in the car then the climate on recirculate.

Guess no one noticed the date then...

My GF's did this, you can get a repair kit from ebay that has the cable and associated parts. Its takes a bit of working out how it all goes together but if your mechanically minded its not that hard. Was about £20 I think.

Leave it on and just disconnect it if needed.

I had no idea this was on, would have been pissed if I'd have missed it. Put me down for the rescheduled date (not the 18th I'm at anglesey)

The aux belt has an automatic tensioner, it may be seized. If this is the case it points to it not being changed when the cambelt was done (if the cambelt was done at all) I don't know of a way of checking cambelt idlers - I'd get everything changed ASAP

Im doing this at the mo. Using a sparco mount with 2 buttons on already, will add the other 2 myself (from tweaks) The problem is they aren't normal switches, they use a resistor to show a resistance to the ECU. You need 910, 275 and 100 ohm resistors, the other is a straight switch so no...

Theres no current so any wattage will do, get the 0.6w from maplins.

I think he pressed the button by accident instead of the heated rear screen button (which is the same just on the other side of the centre console)

I tried for a few hours once, wasn't happening.

No need for compressors on a sport.

Non sports do.

I've used mine loads, its all good.

Hard to tell from the pic but I'd say you need to put more paint on in one coat so it flows better. I'm a paint engineer but I only paint cars at 21 degrees and 65% humidity and with 8 robots! It could be contamination in the paint or on the surface.

Different diameter tyres front to rear will confuse the traction control/ESP. A mate of mine ran 888's on the front and T1r's on the rear of a puma. Despite me telling me he'd put it in a hedge it was fine, even when pushing. Whiteley ran slicks on the front with semi-slicks on the back of...

Its down to the interpretation. We were reading through the changes, 2 Mot guys and me, we all read it differently.

I asked my Mot man about this, if there's a mechanism it must work. Fixed buckets are fine.

Your power goes up slightly as it gets run in, it'll stop rising after a while then start falling until you give it a rebuild.

My stainless eye stays in because it scratches the bumper every time you put it in/out.

Got to laugh at some people on here.... Anyway, mine went through the MOT (I was going to change it but forgot!)
