    Nothing better than getting a pass and getting really stuck into it which you certainly did. Nice to see someone doing everything to perfection, with dti gauges etc, you will reap rewards of these small things. You thought about putting a thicker headgasket back on to lower compression for...

    Will this coilover fit with this attached?

    Yeah as the shock could work free (in theory) but it would take something to come out. Just asking as my old shocks had these bent to the side Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

    Will this coilover fit with this attached?

    Ah right. I did wonder whether that part went down the slit bit of the hub. Excellent, cheers Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

    Will this coilover fit with this attached?

    Just got my AP coilovers and fitting tomorrow but noticed that they have a lot of metal "bits" attached near the bottom. Will these not prevent the shock seating in the hub part?

    Yeah, I'm not after much more of a drop than 40mm but I want to er on the side of caution as I don't want a snapped driveshaft in 12 months after minimal rubbing on occasions. I ordered some OEM top mounts and bearings today which will arrive Tuesday morning, so I'm all set, just need the...

    DGJ's Leon Cupra TDI - Staggered Rims, AP Coilovers, 312mm Brakes, Milltek Turbo-Back

    Excellent, I have been reading some did but I think its for the Cupras with the links that attach to the shocks instead of wishbones. Coilovers soon then lower a bit further once I get the bigloop. Nasty! Maybe easy to "redip" spray them though?

    00654 Seat Belt Tensioner Igniter 1 -N153

    Little update. I replaced it but still had the same error. So I cleaned up the connections but still no joy. I then swapped them round and it was still the same side that had the problem. I then tried it without the connector plugged in and got the same error. Looks like the yellow...

    00654 Seat Belt Tensioner Igniter 1 -N153

    Gonna add some photos to the thread that I took today, although it still did not work (with a known working one) Looks like te fault is going to be the wire that is part of the car loom at a guess but going outside soon to try some contact cleaner on the yellow plug. Any hints to try anything...
