Hello again.Some good advice here for removing the aerial from its base.Simple really but effective.After much difficulty attempting to get mine off to replace with a smaller nicer one and tugging and pulling my guts off {yes I have some before you say it} I decided to try using a 90 degree...

Hi folks is it worth me buying the injector cleaner that you add to a full tank. 1. Is it as good as they claim? 2. Could it damage my petrol cupra? Cheers Dai

My conundrum guys... Going to the ring in May this year and have just about scraped together the cash to pull all the mods together to make the car tip top for the trip. Soon to have CC stage 2 with all the goodies (ko3s, forge FMIC etc etc), suspension and brakes are all tip top. Conundrum...

Hi guys, I imagine all cotton panel filters are much the same, but I know Green is the name normally bandied around on here. I've had a pretty decent quote from Storm Developments for a Custom Code remap with Forge 007P and J&R filter (sounds like they don't stock Green). Has anyone used one...
