Hey all, Last night I managed to strip the cambelt teeth on my 1.4 and I was wondering if anyone has any idea how much damage there's likely to be (all my tools are at home in Southampton and I'm at uni in Nottingham so I can't have a look at the moment!) Basically what happened is I...

I have had a runin with a fox this evening coming back from Warwick. Does anyone have any ideas on the cost of a new radiator and under cover splash guard for the car. Its a 2007 FR model

Some one unsuccessfully tried to break into my car, damaging the drivers door lock barrel.:( Its a 1.4 S so it has central locking but the key remote doesn't work. Currently i have to open and lock the car from the passenger side. The drivers door opens and locks fine...but when the key is...

Hi, I'm wondering if anybody has a 2003 Leon Cupra R bonnet and front bumper with the grilles lying about and willing to sell prefferably in black ? I usually use my works van but I left it at work for the weekend, so on Monday morning I asked my girlfriend to run me to work in her car. She...

A little while a go my car threw up about 20 errors, but still runs ok. I took it into Seat and they told me it needed a new ECU, costing me almost £800. After this i phoned Jim at Star to see what he thought (he owned the car from new, so knows its history), he thought it was water damage...

Arghhh!! I was pulling into my off road parking entrance last night and some absolute headcase was roaring along the road and wasn't going to break. I noticed him out of the corner of my eye and hit the pedal before he smashed into the back of me... Result? Scraped the right side against the...

I ve booked my LCR in for its first service since it was bought new in Jan 06. After not having a great experience with the dealer I bought it off regards a few warranty niggles and reading the damage people have had done to their cars while in for a service I m now on the wary side. Has...

I have been looking at a car to buy, but it has some damage hence the low price. The front cross member has probably been squashed by 10mm. I am fine replacing everything else, but is there a cure for such damage. The wheel alignment is fine. I was told a hydraulic puller could do the job...

Went to inspect my condensation problem this morning which has cleared up! and noticed that some idiot has opened a door into my rear end of the drivers side of car. Great, will need to be repaired as well before the rust kicks in. Just want you want at this time of the year!

Seems K&N are very keen to put this issue to bed. They've apparently even gone to the trouble of conducting tests that they claim prove their side of the story. See here: http://www.knfilters.com/MAF/massair.htm Appologies if this has been posted before. Cuprablue

I want to have a look at a car at the weekend which is standard bar a K&N filter. I have done some searching and seen that these tend to break the MAF. I have 2 questions: 1) Is it likely to affect anything else and damage the rest of the engine? 2) How easy is it to put the standard...
