My car is failing its MOT on emissions. Any advice on what to do to bring it down? What are the usual things? I have noticed that my idle is high, around 1200 rpm.

as the title says "clutching at straws " here with my starting problem but, if any of the belts were slipping on start up could this cause problems when trying to start her up ? Maz

I have a TT 1991 and am having some problems and would appreciate some advice on a few things. The car has done 92K miles and has been driven extremely carefully and the turbos rarely used. The car is always heated up ans cooled down at the start and end of every trip. The last few weeks I have noticed a few problems. Firstly, there is a very loud tapping noise coming from the drivers side behind the dashboard which could either be in the car itself but can also be heard outside the car, near the drivers side wiper. Its normally only when cold and when idling in traffic. Secondly, for the last few weeks the car has smelt very strongly of petrol despite being …

Just two pictures of the car now it is sat back down with the lowerings springs fitted. Will post more tomorrow as I have just picked up the side skirts from the paint shop but it is dark now. Started on the intercooler system to, what a headache :headvswal

anyone on here parked on leonard road on sunday. was grey with a uk rear bumper (me thinks) and ferrari rear lights.

Sounds stupid but does anyone else's car give off a weird smell from some the rubbers, the headlight rubbers seem to be the worst,always noticed it since owning the car but as it's been stood for 6 months it seems stronger now.

what price would this be http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/detail/CU0003717904/index.html

Hello, my car started being wierd this morning, i turned it on to go to work and the clutch biting point is now really close to the floor (was perfect last night) and the gearstick has become very very stiff to move. any ideas? The gearstick was a lot looser on the way home but still pretty solid, the clutch was still on the floor

Can anyone post a piccy of the Oil Pressure Gauge Sender on a Jap N/A 1990 ? Mine is knackered and I think I've found a new one, but cant get under to check if its the right one before I buy it. If no-one has a pic. does anyone know the original part number. Cheers.

Hi all, I discovered the other day that I have heated mirrors! Awesome! However, what isn't so awesome is that I have in fact got heated mirror. As in the driver's side one. The passenger one doesn't work! Is this a common thing with a common fix, or shall I just pull it apart and start checking?

Who is the best person to get one of these from, and how much? And also, a price for a set of flywheel bolts..... Tudor...

As you may well know my Zed is currently stuck in my garage with the front quite severly damaged due to some old dink pulling out of a side turning in her Focus. By the time I hit the brake I was colliding with her front wing. My car is repairable but the cost of parts alone is quite a sum. A Border front mount and AB Flug front panel is just over £2K, plus the other radiators, front wings and bonnet, lights etc., and an inner wing. No doubt my viscous fan is mullered too. The man from the bodyshop states that it is 'beyond economic repair'*. I do not have an agreed Insurance value, so where do you start with a valuation especially as prices today are grim. I have spent s…

What is the wheel in my avatar? Is it a std Series 2 jobbie? Thinking of going back to a std Zed one form the small momo I have. Cheers

Hi I have purchased a cat-back delete kit including the new elbows. In the process of removing the existing cats section I have sheared two bolts from the left three point hook up to the stock elbow. This even after much soaking/heat etc. So my question is - based on my experience to date and the above - I am pretty sure the turbo elbow fittings (two studs and two nuts) will be [hell of] a LOT harder!!! :hurl: I need to know that if I shear a stud/bolt on the actual elbows - will I be able to recover/drill out without removing the engine etc etc. Your guidance as ever is appreciated. ;) AndyGP
