fixed

I know most of you will laugh but I am quite proud of myself. I am normally the kind of person who takes the car to the garage and says 'fix it and let me know the damage.' Yesterday, the end of my sat nav fell off into the cigarette lighter socket. I tried to fish it out and got a nasty...

anyone tell me the best way to take the rear windows out as im putting opening rear quarters in. i know they are bonded in but wondered if there an easier way than sitting inside the car and pushing them out with your feet and getting your mrs to catch the window as it comes out lol.

has anyone been able to find a way of stopping the parcel shelf from rattling when going over speed bumps etc?

For the first time in a while, the wife was in the car, which meant I turned the stereo down, and noticed a funny noise... There's a strange pulsing / rumbling noise which gets faster with the car's speed (not the engine revs). Everything else seems to be working fine and there's no...

Hi all, As some of you knows, I've had a really irritation problem regarding boost and CF's 2 weeks ago my fuel pump went and I had a new one. I then out of interest asked revo regadring a stage 2 upgrade for my LCR and then got the infoimation, "You already had stage 2, we did this so you...

Well guys i'm very surprised. I have now got my dpf delete completly fixed, and i had it rolling roaded again by Henry Roy from kilmarnock. Private rolling road but he helped design the first rolling roads in south africa. Anyway i have had all my cars done there as he and a lot of others have...

Hello, I've just had the secondary air pump replaced on my MK1 Leon Cupra 20VT. All seemed well, then the warning light came on a week later. Diagnostics showed same air pump problem although the air pump is fine. The garage did some resets (or something) and the warning light went out...

Right folks here's something to get you thinking! :p Tonight when just about to go out i went to start the car and it took a couple of turns before it fired. When it started it had a lumpy idle for a few seconds which then cleared and it ran fine Set of to my work and the car drove like...

I apologise for starting yet another thread about clutch problems. I have searched through the forums and found a few, but they are all either very old or not quite the problem I'm having. Okay, short story long... I've got an Ibiza 1.9TDi MK2 98R, after a while of owning and driving it...

Temp keeps going up Coolant way over the MAX mark and boiling Bleeded the rad to find an epic amount of air came out but even when it's all gone there still seems to be air in there Any ideas guys? Just a block in the pipes or head on the way out? Mike

Basically i was on my way home from work and just turned a corner, when i started to accelerate there was no boost from the turbo and i noticed the temp gauge was between 90 and 120. Pulled in, cooled down and carried on. When i searched the forum i found loads with the same symptoms, so i'm...

Its been a bloody long time coming has this fix (noticed the fault on March 18th this year!)but finally after changing a shed load of bits and some completely pointless expense due to poor advice, I got it fixed this past week. :D The symptoms started as the compressor not kicking in. I went...

I find the MP3 compatibility of my new FR is good fun. I've burned a few CDs with about 6 or 7 albums on each disc and I like to listen to them fully randomised - i.e. using "frnd" setting, so both the track and folder are randomised. Trouble is, whenever I switch off the ignition, the head...

hey people.. my cars starting to cut out on me. :( it will do it very randomly, and only when i'm either changing gear or when i put my foot on the clutch to stop.. the revs just fall and yeah, it cuts out! it wont do it all the time though, which is the strange bit! the steering...

Hey all again, After fixing the cutting out problem, I now seem to have another problem although not as annoying. My car now seems to idle badly about 2 minutes after starting it. Its fine when I start it in the morning after being on the drive all night, but 2 minutes up the road, it...

:confused: My oil temperature seemed to be going higher than normal the other day, and then one point reached like 210 [:@] then the car's water temp started getting VERY high - driving normally on open roads. (Blue normal - Yellow Current) Anyway checked my oil and it was below half...

Hi guys had a maf gon on my car couple months ago and it was not boosting correct as when i brough car it hit 15psi on a unkown map. Now i brought a new maf and it did not correct the problem so i unplugged it and used car with it unplugged for a while. In that time i fitted a pro alloy fmic...

I`ve had my k03s running on a revo stg2 for well over a year now and ever since having the k03s fitted its pulled back on WOT from low down and surged like crazy, it got to a point where it was awful to drive and felt like it took ages to catch up with itself once it started pulling back, Bill...
