Had this knocking noise since i got the car. The car would turn on both full locks with no knocking what-so-ever. It only made a noise when i a)went over bumps, and b)moved the steering wheel left and right only SLIGHTLY. Was quite a nasty clunk, and i could feel it through the wheel. So i...

Been meaning to ask this for a while, but only now when im contemplating what new amp to buy, do i ask it! I may be completely wrong here, but this is how i roughly see it:- I have 2 12" subs. If i were to get a 1000W amp, which could also push out 2 x 300W, and wire the subs up to the 2...

Just swapped over the starter motor on my old 1.4 RT for my mate whos got it now. Bought the new one from a scrappy for £15. Took about 2 bloody hours to do due to the bolts being very difficult to get off, and being in a hard to reach place. Anyhow, the car started fine, but it sorta...

Does anyone know where i could get a set of 4 or 5 red seatbelts to replace my standard 16v ones? My interior is getting coded black and red, and would really finish it off if i could get hold of some. Grey looks rubbish! Cheers, Al

Ordered some from K-Tecs website for when the cars done (a month or so now, cant wait!), and i was very surprised to see them turn up the very next day on my doorstep! Looks like ive been one of the lucky ones with K-Tec after hearing other peoples horror stories! The lights themselves - oh my...

Im looking into getting a Pioneer AVX7300 motorised screen to go in the vents (if poss) in my valver. I want to hook up a TV tuner and my PS2 to it. However, i would still be keeping my alpine head unit. I dont know much about ICE, does anyone know how i can route the sound from whats on the...

What sort of oil pressure does a valver usually run at idle?? Need to know quickly coz either my bottom end has gone or my cams are fcuked. The car is ticking over a bit more before it starts and the powers been sapped big time when running. Theres a loud clacking noise at about 2500 rpm...
