I have a Face lift 99 model, my rear wiper has never worked ever. Firstly the fuse is okay. There is a clicking noise from the relay when i turn the stalk but no action. Now i know it seems obvious that it will be the wiper motor, but i cant get my head around why it would fail, i mean how...

comon the boss is worth almost that alone guys, i would av it but losing the airbag would give the N-CAP stars a kick in the nuts.

why are all the cheap parts sold by scottish members?

No problem Matie, I know you want alloys but the old steelies i still have are the facelift 14inch rims with the slightly wider tyres and lower profile, they will make the roundabouts a little more stable. You can have them as long as you pick em up!

Cheers Mate, camera phone photo makes the old dog shine! In total contradiction to my previous statement i bought this beut off Nikki aka Micrafish, in my defense it's not a aftermarket part!

Well i got mine off ebay for 60 squid, i might wack some new rubber on them after xmas but when you live 20 minutes away from the cheapest tyre shop in the UK its not really an issue. I'm going make an effort to get the suspension perky next and then the engine. I aint interested what the...

Thanks Dani, wish i had a rev counter in the dash like yours! By the way im after a ricer bean can and a set of Whiteline rollbars, if anyone has these items, shout me a holla dog or just email me...

I'm not sure anyone will care but this is my car, I'm not big on none HGV's (Heavy German vehicles), but i was forced to get a small car for work my girlfriend drives the "Family" C-class Merc. The grin factor of my hatchback years is well and truly back in business. Bits added on so far...

oh crap sorry mate was waiting for an email, still interested 100% no messing...email me and we can meet up. Don't matter if its after work or whatever ill be happy to pay 20 nicker no sweat. Or ill bid if thats better for you! Hang on a minute you have already added me on msn, doh!

Ah well the point in the forum is learning from others, maybe you should add an expansion chamber to your exhaust manifold?:laugh: Micky taking aside i think its great you guys with home made induction kits are giving the kids a better option that getting robbed blind by Halfords for a shiny...

The resonator has been designed for noise reduction i know this much so i'm sure this will have no preformance advantage as sound is air moving in waves and to reduce this would reduce the air moving into the throttle body would be negative. I think the reason for for your midrange drop is the...

Dude, its a throttle body not a carb. I aint being funny or nothing but maybe you should gain some basic mechanical knowledge before even dreaming of doing turbo conversion. An Alternative would be give your local tuner 3 grand to mount a turbo and hope he knows more than you. Its not a dark...

Thanks Frank, just wanted to know if id be running to lean. I'm i right in thinking the length of the induction pipe dictates the pulse harmonics, e.g Short=increased high rpm power, long= low-mid power hence a lot of the "off the shelf" Induction kits not producing power increase across the...

can anybody tell me if the fuel system will compensate for the additional air-flow provided by a free flow induction and what the optimum diameter/length would be for a good trade-off between air velocity/quantity?

I think the reading may be naff, but at least the oil pressure pattern is correct (rise and fall with engine rpm) Is there any other signs of excessive oil pressure or is it simply the incorrect reading? Is it spitting the oil out of anywhere?

I work in Finance now and i come to work on Monday with oil under the nails and grazed knuckles.

yeah you are quite right i shouldnt jump to conclusions. I might do a wheel rotation if that dosent sort it. Its just so annoying im gagging to rebuild the suspension and replace all the saggy bushes but i keep getting another general mechanical problem surfacing. At the moment driving me mad is...

Sounds like a plan, just for reference what kind of mileage are these items good for? When i bought the car last year the rear bearing had been just replaced and i've done about 12k since. I thought they "should" last at least 60k!

Anybody know a place that does rear wheel bearing set for cheaper than 131.58? The extra stain from new wheel offset has pushed them into failing. Many thanks.
