If you do sell her, do it in one piece. It's tragic seeing these cars broken. I sold mine last weekend, after long saying I wouldn't! I'll no doubt miss her in time.

Anybody?

Evening all, My car ('03 LCR) has this annoying problem that I'm trying to get to the bottom of - namely that when cold she'll lose all power for the first 5 minutes on pull away. When she does this I can hear rushing gas, which then disappears once the boost is back on. This makes for a...

I'd come off of the indicator stalk. Find the left and right side outs respectively and T into those. Coming off pin 49a on the indicator flasher relay will cause both lights to flash simultaneously as the relay *should* be situated before the stalk if it's anything like the systems I've worked...

No problem

They just slide on over the top of the pedal. No glue needed. It's a bit fiddly but once they're on properly they shouldn't come off again.

My mistake! Not that I doubted you just what it looked like from here. Some companies are laughable, especially when customer service is half of any company's MO and they talk to you like that.

That looks to be a four cylinder manifold, the fifth branch looks like it's for the EGR. It still looks like a rusty POS though.

I know LCRs did, can't say for other trim specs though. Earlier cars had round anchor points, later cars (post 2003) had oval fixing points.

Yep, just the front door. It's the seal that runs around the ancillaries carrier behind the door card. You need: *Butyl tape - you can get this off eBay for about a tenner. I used 8mm beaded stuff. It sticks like **** to a blanket so you'll need help feeding it through so you don't get...

Drivers door seals mate. I've got this very same problem right now! I fixed the seal about a fortnight ago, and am waiting for dryer weather before drying the footwell out. I had the same symptoms as you: drivers kickplate wet after a rain/car wash, dry front footwell (at least on the surface)...

Are the front and rear wheels the same ET? Maybe you mixed the pairing up of the front and rear wheels.

Yup, mine too. It's like it's on auto whether you like it or not. It tries to match the cabin temperature to the requested temperature, even though on manual it shouldn't... glad it's not just mine! I like mine on blower setting two, but it always reduces to one. Eventually after I've put it...

What's the temperature round Devon at the moment? Mine does exactly that if it's less than 5'c outside. Above that and it's fine. I can only imagine there's a safety protocol in the software to prevent damage to the compressor or compressor clutch in cold weather. It comes on after driving a...

Don't go on 210vs225 as they are the same, aside from the aforementioned map and the rumoured webbing being more prevalent on the 225 block. It's not even 15bhp difference, as the 210 is 210bhp and the 225 is 225ps or 222bhp. It's only 12bhp difference, or in other words **** all. Go for the...

I've found a couple of thermostat options on ECP for £10 and £16 respectively. Less with my trade discount! As for the phenolic gasket, I may just give the Neuspeed one a shot and see how it goes. Thanks for all your help guys.

Haha told you I knew nothing of phenolic gaskets, plus that explains the name. I'll gee up a bit on those I think. Thanks for the info.

That's no good :( I'm after a small port one. I'm curious about the Neuspeed one as it isn't sandwiched between two regular gaskets, like most are. Also, is yours just made from nylon? I could knock one up at work if it is!

I've already checked Bill's section; he only supply's large port or small port inlet to large port head phenolic gaskets. I'll have a look at that BAM racing, thanks for the heads up! In other news, visited EAG Seat today and they can't find a thermostat on their system for 1.8T engined cars...

Has anyone used the Neuspeed smallport phenolic gasket for sale on AwesomeGTi? Is it recommended? I need to remove the inlet manifold to inspect an oil leak so I may as well upgrade the gasket. Is it reusable? I have no experience of phenolic gaskets. While I'm down there, I'll also be doing...
