Found it, in my draw,
Pre Cat lambda: 06A 906 265N

Best place i found, was Skoda in newport, about £99.

ECP was £98 +vat, and special order.

Although try giving Fast Parts in Risca a call, as a guy in work picked up a Coilpack from them for £25.

Hi guys, my name is Rich from Cardiff and
I just recently joined the forum, so I hope this is the right place to put this request.
I've recenty bought a 2001 Ibiza Cupra which is running 250bhp and 280lbft torque and has loads of Forge goodies etc
I'm looking for a good reliable garage in the Cardiff (or surrounding area) to fix my slipping clutch.
Can anyone suggest somewhere? I've been to Westec in Newport and they've promised to ring me back twice, but never have. So they're obviously not interested in doing the job, even though they did my power run on their RR.
Any suggestions?

 

[Forbez]

Westec, didnt ring you back! Thats a shock.

They have a good rapor with many of the south wales members!




LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Dubusiness in Llantrisant is a good place mate, i think Stan, Dave and Phil have all been there.

Welcome, what car have you bought then? Any pics? Was it off Mike (Shock-Xe) from Cardiff?

 

[PhilW]

Is it a blue one? One of the boys spotted a blue one on on caerphilly mountain and on the A48.

 

[StanTheMan]

Any suggestions?

Yea, avoid westec and his services at all costs. Shouldn't be allowed to trade imo.

Dubusiness in Llantrisant is a good bet, honest no bullshit answers from Gareth. Best to go see him if you want something and talk face to face.

Phil wont bad mouth westec though.... hes grunts bitch lmao

 

[PhilW]

Got quoted 75 quid by my garage to fit my clutch, which i thought was decent.

 

[the-wishmaster]

Cheers for that. I will try Westec one more time maybe. Jock & Grant seemed nice guys.
Mine's a Black 2001 Ibiza Cupra with a K04 Hybrid Turbo, S3 injectors, Forge FMIC, Remap to stage 2/3 by Badger 5, K&N Oil Breather filter, FK Highsport coilovers, Blueflame highflow cat and downpipe, catback S/S exhaust, Oz 17" Racing Record wheels.........and some headlight gas conversion that makes the headlights blue - lol. No, it wasn't from Mike, it was a guy in Stroud. I have got pics, but can't upload 'em on here. I'll put some on my website later

 

[Forbez]

Car sounds familiar, but cant picture it.

Phil, who spotted the blue one on the A48 and Caerphilly mountain, and when?

 

[PhilW]

Thats nick barnes car who bought hoochs k04 by the sounds of it.

 

[Forbez]

Thats him!

 

[the-wishmaster]

I bought mine off a guy called Dan Rawlings in Stroud.
I'm in the process of putting some pics up on my website. So I'll post the address once they're on.

[the-wishmaster]

http://www.rich-graphics.co.uk/Cupra.htm

I'm unable to post pics on the forum

 

[Forbez]

Nice car, get rid of those damn stickers though!!!

Nice R33 GTS too!

 

[the-wishmaster]

thanks...both fast cars. the R33 is for sale now.
Gotta keep the stickers for nostalgic reasons, but they'll be the only ones on there.

 

[Forbez]

NOOOOOOOOOO! Awful!

 

[the-wishmaster]

LOL............I'm just a sentimental old git I guess, but they havta stay
Gonna give Dubusiness a call now, bout my clutch

 

[Forbez]

I'm going to be honest!

I laugh at them!

 

[the-wishmaster]

Well at least I can make people smile then!
Just spoke to Gareth at Dubusiness and he seems a nice guy. He's gonna call me after 6pm with some prices, but he did say it's gonna havta be a pretty
sturdy clutch to cope with the BHP I'm running. So I'll keep you posted on the prices for other members' in case they have the same slipping clutch problem.
As Westec promised to call me back, and haven't, I won't be going back there.
