any one know of a UK supplyer of this bumper? http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/image.php?II=343

Hi all….had to have a new engine (or recon should I say) fitted to my new TT auto jap last October (cambelt failure on way back from Glasgow after just having bought her…..d-ough was gutted!) After the engine was fitted the mechanic advised me that the wiring loom was very brittle. Ever since then I’ve had a hot start issue.. Also cat warning light used to come on when not being driven that hard. Have been just pootling around trying to just ease the engine in for the first 1000 miles. Recently with the good weather I tried to put her through her paces and drove the car hard. After a bit of stick she started to misfire and is very jumpy on idle at traffic lights. Ha…

Can any1 help please? My passenger side rear suspension is approx 20mm higher. I believe this has only recently occured! Has it got something to do with my handbrake? Its a UK spec model and I recall some1 mention you can adjust the stiffness on UK cars using the H/brake?? HELP!

Hi Anyone heard of these manifolds from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250215545097 Wouldn't the welding increase the risk of cracking?

On boost 5th cylinder stops firing and cat overheat light comes on, at that time I can also smell fuel and it's really strong, I've checked for leaks but everything's ok. I will also point out that sometimes it runs rough on idle but revs smooth as soon as pedal is tapped, also when I do boost it the cylinder which stops working will fire back up in 5-10 mins... any eyed dears?

Just a brief warning from personal experience. http://www.wrc-sales.co.uk/ Went to their showroom the other day to look at a Mitsubishi GTO and A Nissan 300ZX as I am trying to decide between the 2. Looked at a few cars in there. They all seemed to be fresh imports with little to no service history and dubious mileages. Things got worse, with the guy in charge seeming to know little about his cars and he was even unable to start one ZX when demonstrating it to me. Things however got much worse. After talking to him for about 30 mins about one automatic ZX TT I suggested I take it out for a test drive. He seemed reluctant so I agreed to let one of his employ…

Hay ppl, This is going to sound a bit stupid, but wanted some advice, as some may know my car has a smoking problem and a small oil leek, i am starting to think that it might be down the the headgasket, ive found these on ebay and just wanted to know what or if anyone has used them and what they think about em' ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140206527843&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004#ebayphotohosting Chears PPl :wack:
