Hi guys, I have my car lowered on FK coilovers and have shortened FK drop links fitted with them. But nearly every year they are causing my car to fail MOT due to the bushes being worn out on the ends of the droplinks. I don't know what is causing this to happen every year and feel its an...

Hi, I have managed to get hold of the front cupra calipers, carriers and discs with pads for a decent price and was wondering if it would be a bolt on job to replace my current front setup. I have read conflicting posts on a variety of forums about being easy to being a strut and hub...

I have got hold of a set of OZ Nova 17in Alloys which I am going to do a refurb to and keep as my winter wheels but struggling to get the right tyre size for them. They are ET35 8J rims and currently have 21545R17 tyres on them but I feel they are not right. My current setup is the SEAT BBS...

I have recently had the intermittent door lock problem on the front passenger door where I unlock with the button but cannot open the door from the outside, only from the interior handle. Cannot hear the motor unlocking the front door. I have got hold of the part required to solve this issue...

Hope some of your guys expertise can help me out here. Came to bleed brakes on brothers car, got through one just fine and come to o/s rear and the bleed nipple just spins after flushing the old fluid out. Tried another nipple, just spins and is totally loose now. So my guess is the thread on...

I have just had an advisory on MOT for near legal limit on N/S Rear tyre and want to replace it with a new tyre. My problem is that the other 3 tyres have plenty of tread left still. Is it possible to get one of the O/S tyres onto the N/S so I can have the new tyres on the front as the front...

Just an opinion guys, which of the two designs of carbon would look best on the bonnet scuttle piece, the one on the left or right in the image? Been quoted £90 so will be doing it soon and maybe some other bits and bobs around the car inside and out.

Are these 2 similar products and would just need to use the one? I have just bought some AG HD Wax and was wondering what would be the best polish to go underneath it?

Hi Guys, I have been using microfibre drying towels to dry my car since but think they are responsible for the little scrathes around the car :( So now want to move onto plush towels and use the pat dry method, which towels would you recommend and Im kind of on a budget too dont want to spend...

Just got back from Midland VW and they done a smoke test to rule out any boost leaks and as for the blue smoke on startup issue, they said it could be the injector seals that are worn and letting fuel/oil seap into the cylinders when the engine is sitting for sometime which causes the blue smoke...

Today my Passenger Front door lock was playing up, I try to unlock all doors and the front passenger door doesnt sometimes unlock and will only open on inside. Did it a couple tries and it started working again after a VAGCOM scan. Is something on its way out and requiring repair? Here is my...

Dont know if this is across the range but the rear washer is like a squirt and not a spray onto the window and doesnt do a great job tbh cleaning the rear window. Is this a PreFL thing and the FL different or are both crap? Lol Would prefer it to spray so covers most of the rear screen...

I jacked up my car this morning to change the ABS sensor and the other day I noticed the big centre wheel bearing nut was loose. Tightened that and today after putting the sensor in, the wheel can be moved back and forth with a little bit of play in it. All the bolts were put back properly...
