Hi, Am swapping H/U with my mate as hes selling his car. Got my H/U into his car no probs but his Sony will not light up when in mine, just get a beep when trying to release the facia. I think somehow I may have lost my constant feed, have checked the fuse which is fine. How easy is it to...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on what this annoying rattling could be on my 16V. I can only hear it from inside the car when it is idling or when on full lock it seems to get louder, could it be the bearings in my alternator, cant tell where it is coming from under the...

Thinking of getting rid of my HP Induction Kit [offers ?!?! Am only thinking at the mo though !] and putting the original box on with performance filter in it. Will this be better and what one do you all suggest ? I think with the warm weather coming up my power is bound to be down with the HP...

Got a 96 N reg 16V. Recently started running very lumpy even when warm. Also when idling the revs die and nearly cut out. Is the problem my idle control valve or something more major ? The car is on 65K. Where is the valve located, is it a difficult job to take off, clean and replace with some...

Has anyone seen the performance chip on e-bay for 5 quid claiming to add 20 BHP. Whats this all about, has anyone bought one ? Am I missing something here !?! cheers

I know you seem to get bombarded with questions but you know what youre on about. I have Infinity Kappa 50.1 in the front running off the H/U, Phillips GTM 6935 6x9s also running off the H/U and a magnat 1200 sub running off a poo amp in the boot [as I am slowly upgrading]. Can I run everything...

Was an old shape J reg maybe. Was at some lights waiting for them to change and as they did he came round the corner and floored it past me, giving a sneaky grin as he did, what was I supposed to do, so ......... tried to catch up but hit the limiter in first, DOH, managed to recover and started...

Had it checked out by a local transmission place in Erith. He said it was the clip in fifth gear that had gone, apparently 5th is the only gear with this clip which is obviously why the gearstick only moves when in this gear. 300 sovs to repair it though, what do you reckon, take the risk or...

Driving home from Essex last night doing about a ton in 5th no probs, then I notice that every time I accelerate/decelerate the gear lever is moving backwards and forwards making a nasty knocking, grinding noise like the gearbox is going to fall out !!! Does anyone know what this is, is it a...

Mines stopped working on my 96 16v. Has anyone else had this problem ? Ive played with the wiring, checked the fuse/switch etc and no joy so think it may be the motor, are these easy enough to replace or will I have to take half the roof lining out and has anyone got one going ? Are the motors...

By the weekend I should have my full Magnex system and HP cat back [second hand]. Firstly should I have my car MOTd before putting the catback on ? Also, is it better to fit everything at once or can I put the exhaust on and at a later date the decat ? How easy to fit are exhausts on 16vs, I did...
