    Worn top mount after less than 1.5k?

    Back in April I fitted new FK Coilovers with new topmounts allround from ECP. Today I had the Cordoba Mot'd and it failed on top-mount with excessive play (which I witnessed personally) which is very stange as the Mount has covered less than 1500 miles since fitting the new suspension...

    Top Speed Calculator

    Found THIS and filled in what i knew and blanked out the other boxes..... Redline RPM - 6500 5th Gear Ratio - 0.84 Final Drive Ratio - 3.39 Tyre Size - 205/40/R17 It came up with 159mph for my top speed. I'm assuming my input info was right? Does this mean in theory that the car would...

    Changing rear strut top mounts

    Has anyone on here attempted this themselve yet? I started last week, but due to a tool shortage I couldnt finish. The strut tops are secured by 2 16mm Bolts, that was the easy part, using the socket set these came off no problem, and I was left with the strut and the top mount joined...
  13. Mk2 top mount

    Does anyone have an exploded diagram of a Mk2 GTi16v top mount assembly?, the Haynes diagram only seems to show two bits and I have three! Taking my coilovers off, so its been a while since I dismantled the original stuff and now cant figure out how it does back together! Did a few searches...

    Hi to all (my very first post!) - I have just picked up an Altea 2.0 TDi Sport DSG today and whilst it is exceeding my expectations all round (it's bl00dy superb!:happy: ), there was one niggle hacking back over the M62 from York this morning (in a blizzard!) - above 25-30 MPH there is a...

  18. LCR Top Speed?

    Was wondering what the top speed anyone has out of a standard LCR. (Under safe and controlled conditions of course)? I got to 140mph and chickened out of going any faster, it felt like it still had alot to give, just didnt want to run the risk of getting busted :banned: and it felt pretty fast...

    ok, on the spec it says 120, and more often than not they are wrong. on a run back tonight i got the car to 120.. and that was it. it did have 4 18" alloys in the back mind you but my speedo is out by at times 10mph is this right? surely not.
