    Dexron III oil

    hi guys, been having some issues with my gearbox and have had it re-built. I questioned with the workshop what type of oil they put in it and they told me they use Dexron III which is their recomended oil for this gearbox. I've done a quick google search, as I've never heard of Dexron, and...

    3 18" and 1 17"

    Well I've now got new boots all round. Mich PS3s, you do tend to forget how good new tyres feel, loving the grip and bite they're giving. No issues with the one 17inch but it was only on for 16hrs or so

    3 18" and 1 17"

    Cheers fellas, I thought it would be ok. Pretty sure the circumference of the two are very similar. Time to go tyre shopping!

    3 18" and 1 17"

    Quick question to anyone who knows, got home and heard that dreaded hiss of air escaping from a tyre, checked it out and there was a ba$&@#d screw in it.. Now I've still got the original 17" wheels so I've stuck one on. Is it safe/legal to get to work and a garage with 3 18" wheels and 1 17"...

    opinions on clutch and flywheel set up leon mk2 fr 170

    I've had a SMF in for 40,000 miles now and yes, it does rattle a little, but not too much. Once you're on the go it goes away. Plus the one you listed above comes with a warranty!!

    opinions on clutch and flywheel set up leon mk2 fr 170

    Just get it mapped so it works with no dpf, keep the power/torque the same. When the clutch is replaced get a new map?

    opinions on clutch and flywheel set up leon mk2 fr 170

    I've been running a SMF for 35k miles now (fitted at similar mileage to yours). You get a small rattle on start up and while idling, goes away once you depress the clutch or while on the move and is very OEM. In terms of vibration I don't notice anything at all but that might be because I'm use...
