Hi all, I thought i'd post this thread, just in-case this has happened to someone else, or is another common problem and before I start stripping it all to bits. I flashed my main beam at a guy who let me pull out yesterday, and now the main beam is constantly on when I switch the lights on. I am assuming the switch inside the indicator/main beam stalk has bust, or is there a relay or something elsewhere? Has this happened to you? If it is the switch bust, does anyone out there have a unit for sale?? Look forward to hearing your replies, Chris.

I bought a plenum and throttle bodies last night with the intention of polishing them and fitting them. One problem: the throttle bodies were stripped to bits with the intention of having them polishing professionally. Is there a guide anywhere on how to rebuild them?

Hi All, Where is everybody buying their service parts from. Mines due and I was hoping that some of you might know some good places to buy filters, plugs, oil, belts etc. etc. I'm not sure which oil to use for the engine, gearbox and diff either. If anyone has any advice, great. Cheers.

I have a huge hesitation from a standing start and dont know where to start looking. The car is a jap auto but I know it's not the box. I have cleaned the carbs but other than that I just dont know where to look or what I can start changing. I have lived with this since I got the car but now its really starting to get to me. Pleas help... Chris..

Hi all. I have a load of very light scratches all over my paintwork. Looks like it's just in the lacquer. Looks like someone has washed the car previously in a carwash or sommat. What's the best way of getting these out? And what is the best make of whatever produst I could use? I don't have a buffer and I currently use Autoglym Super Resin Polish and that just seems to clean the paintwork but not remove the scratches? Ivan

I have a problem with the heater. It wont og to hot. I have been told there is a solanoid and a cable that goes to a flap on the matrix somewhere but I cant see it from underneath. Any one got a picture of the dash out so I can find out where it is. Thanks. Chris..

If I follow this tutorial http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=793373 to remove the rear spoiler, (silly question) will mine be the same underneath? And can I clean it like these fellas have until I get something else done? Thanks!

Hi, Don't know if I am on the right track here but I noticed on my car suffered from hesitation/stumbling after it had been parked up after rain. I had my suspicions and thought that the seal between the headlight panel and the front bumper wasn't up to the job. I wet the panel and noticed the apexi filter was wet when I took the headlight panel off, as it sits directly below that seal. Might try and rig up a temp seal to deflect water off and see how it goes!

i,v got the u shape trim for the back window with the 2 plastic corner pieces ,how easy is it to replace with the window still in place ,and any tips if possible cheers tom

what does this actually do and is it better to have or not to have?

hi all. i've just noticed that my park light on the dash stays on after iv released the handbrake,in fact it stays on until the car has fully warmed up then it disapears. does this indicate something wrong with braking system or maybe a loose connection or something? i noticed it a couple days ago and its starting to bug me now,cheers fellas.

Hi guys, anybody got any advice on removing a scratch from clear plastic? somebody has decided to kindly scratch my 99spec rear light. I did hear that using t-cut on it would sort it out but i dont wanna go ahead with trying that and totally ruin the lights. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :) Sean.

right. now the body side of things are done & the exhaust being made next week, its time to make some decisions on the interior. could do with a few ideas on colour, or colours you would consider. this will all be custom made using nappa leather. ;). heres a pic of the car to maybe give you a feel for the colour.

Can the hoses and restrictor thingy just be cleaned if the rubber is ok if so what with?

woohooo just watching a zed being pulled over on bravo...

After much searching around i have finally mamaged to get hold of a Series 2 climate control pod and ecu, now the pod looks very simple to fit and i would imaging the ecu is the same, i've been told it goes somewhere in the drivers footwell, but where?????. What do i need to remove to get to it. i've just had a look and cant see anything that looks like the box that i have, do i need to pull back the carpet,remove the centre console,take off the piece under the steering wheel, any advce will be really appreciated and the more detailed the better thanks in advance
