    looking for info on my car

    yea I didn't see anything either.. I really just want to know if it's been mapped.. I'd guess at 192hp it has. but that was years back. and it don't feel like a near 200 bhp car..although it runs well and pulls very strong after 5k.. seems a waste getting a rs tuner just to check.. and what if...

    juddering under braking

    seems like my list of faults is just getting bigger and bigger. .was going to address this issue later but after driving it earlier I got quite tired of it. in fully aware it's most likely warped discs, shame as they look like new. no wear to speak of.. but my question is are there any other...

    updated engine mounts experienced opinions please

    definitely something to think about. it's fit sure a engine mount problem. unless there is something a miss when the subframe. but if that was the case I'd definitely have some knocking or clunking of which there is none. the car is vastly better than before I changed the mounts. the main...

    updated engine mounts experienced opinions please

    after swapping out all my mounts for genuine new items, I'm totally disappointed in the amount of slack in the engine. especially around town. I find myself on and off the clutch much more than my other cars to keep it from jerking. soooo.. I am going to bite the built and buy uprated ones. can...

    urgent brake question

    hi all, trying to find the source of my juddering front brakes when coming to a stop at all speeds. and clicking at lower speeds. so I striped them down today to find both lower slider pins were seized. luckily got the os one free, but then found the top slider is worn and loose. and with the...

    Non genuine engine mounts any good ?

    it's just to stop the excess movement and jerking at low speeds, around town etc..and the initial amount of movement when on and off the accelerator also in lower gears. cheers

    Non genuine engine mounts any good ?

    I don't have much gear stick movement, nor any manifold noise. just a noticeable amount of clutch control needed through the gears..?

    Non genuine engine mounts any good ?

    well that's me told... what a waste of money.. do the others give a lot of vibrations of the cabin? am I best mixing and matching? If so what are the ones to use. box, engine, dog etc.. thanks

    Non genuine engine mounts any good ?

    I was going to start a thread similar to this. I've just replaced all my mounts minus the front gearbox mount..with genuine items. and I'm still getting what feels like a lit of movement between gear changes, lower the gear worse the movement.. it still needs a fair amount of clutch control...
