What with the escalating price of petrol/diesel, I wonder if, like me, any of you folk have adjusted your driving habits accordingly? I must admit to keeping to the speed limit (or below) in my Arosa regardless of whatever I'm doing driving. I don't think I'm being a softie. I've got a 1.0...

Hey All, Venturing into the lower end of bt for my mk2. Just bought a Jabba mani, downpipe and got a goosed vf34 thrown in too. It`ll be built onto either a stock Agu (with rods), or a built Bam with an Agu head on. I`ve done a lot of reading up using the search function, but the main...

Ran over something this morning which has burst one of my tyres so I'm driving on a space saver at the moment. New tyre is on order for tomorrow. I've left the manual at home so I'm not sure what allowances I should make. A colleague has said I shouldn't go above 50mph. Is that correct? Thanks

Hey, On my way to work I noticed that the car seemed a little slower to pick up that usual and that the MPG wasn't anywhere near the same as it usually is on the motorway. It almost feels like the brakes are on whilst moving. It is most evident over 50mph. When I got out of the car I had a...

Hi Just doing some research (again) into brakes and pads this time. The DS2500's keep coming up time and time again. As a lot of people on this forum use them, are they good pads for normal driving conditions (i.e. going to work). As these are race pads, do they need some 'warming' up...

My Leon has been in my garage for the last 3 weeks. Its been neglected and im sure it will hate me for it. Dont get me wrong its clean and its polished, its just not been driven, . What a waste of a fantastic car.

A few days ago my car went out of action, i had caught the oil sump on a stone that tore a hole that emptied my engine completely of oil, mega ****! i was hoping i hadn't damaged anything and stopped in time. So i took the damaged sump off and replaced it, filled the engine up with oil...
