My memory aint what it used to be :) Does the roof liner have to be completely removed or can it be dropped enough to get to the nuts? Cheers

Been thinking that I need to change the diff in the car now as the R230 feels a bit long geared for the V8, just been looking at the numbers. With 9000rpm limit, in gear speeds are: 56 / 93 / 137 / 179 / 234!!!! Obviously the 5th one is theoretical. Going for the 4.1 gives 50 / 84 / 123 / 161 / 214 Hoping I can maybe find a 4.4, any ideas?

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to replace the oil return pipes from the turbos? I bought these pipes a long time ago and attempted to fit one a while back but abandoned the idea after removing the clips and realising that I could not get the hose off. Is there any easy way? Cheers.

Hi I have the need for a fuel filler pipe on my UK 300 TT manual, and also the pipes that feed and go from the fuel pump, can anyone help as to where I may go for these please.

How do people do the trims in there cars ie cream interior trim kit or blue etc etc as i was looking to do mine, is it a kit i have to buy and fit or do you cover the existing trims with leather etc yourselves ?

I have a jap NA manual. I'll soon be dropping in a TT engine from a uk auto, but keeping the car manual. Will i be able to use the ECU from the uk auto if it is chipped? Second question, what the feck are the other 3 boxes next to the ECU? Cheers Scott

Hi all, going to be doing an oil change the weekend (engine + autobox) last oil change was at Zedworld but this time im going to have ago myself. i can get mobil 1 0w40 fully-syn cheap at work, would this be too thin? and pass worn clyinders? also is dextron 3 ok for a gearbox change??

Hi all again, just a little question about auto boxes. sometimes when im driving a long at say 35mph and i plant it the box doesnt change down to say 2nd it goes to 3rd which then it takes so long and slow to accelerate i have to select 2nd manually to get any steam? the car is ok at motorway speeds kicks down fine and at say 20mph drops to 1st etc but it seems when i come off islands or driving at 30mph etc? p.s. the box has no sign of slipping, changes up fine and you can hear the kick down relay working. any ideas? Thanks
