  1. Standard springs

    Nobody have any?
  2. Camber adjustment/std value

    Thanks Wezza12. Perhaps I'll have to finally give in and join FB just to have a look at it. Nasher.
  3. Camber adjustment/std value

    Beginning to feel like I'm asking questions nobody has considered before! So, to in crease my chances on ebay, and my knowledge base, could somebody tell me which other models of SEAT, VW etc might have the same spec front springs as a Mk3 Cupra? Thanks Nasher.
  4. Standard springs

    Still in the process of developing our Mk3 Ibiza 1.4s Does anyone have a set of STANDARD Mk3 Ibiza Cupra front springs they'd like to sell? Thanks Nasher.
  5. Camber adjustment/std value

    Need to do some experimenting. Does anyone have a set of Mk3 Cupra STANDARD front springs that they'd like to sell. Thanks Nasher.
  6. Seatbelt alarm?

    Thanks Wezza, must have imagined it before. Nasher.
  7. Fog/headlight switch

    All I’ve picked up a pair of front foglights and matching headlight switch to upgrade our 2001 Ibiza ‘S’ which is only fitted with Rear Foglights as standard. They came from a similar age car fitted with them from the factory so should be compatible. The switch is the same style as the...
  8. Seatbelt alarm?

    Quick question that might sound daft. We have a 'Y' Reg 1.4 Ibiza 'S'. Should it have a seatbelt warning light or alarm? I drive a few different cars and am convinced I've heard an alarm in it before, but yesterday realised it didn't tell me to put my belt on as I reversed it out of the...
  9. Camber adjustment/std value

    Took the afternoon off work and fitted the Cupra suspension today. Took a couple of hours all in, and I set the camber at @1 deg negative for now. On the road it's made a huge difference to how the car handles. Apart from it looking slightly newer and cleaner you wouldn't really know...
  10. Camber adjustment/std value

    Sorry, should have asked if anyone knows the std toe-in figure too. Thanks Nasher.
  11. Camber adjustment/std value

    Hello all Not posted in a while as my son has just been enjoying using the 1.4s we rebuilt for him 18 months ago with some helpful answers from here. We rebuilt the brakes, dropped in a much lower mileage engine and box from a polo, and generally got it mechanically sound. He’s bu99ered...
  12. Engine swap 1.4 MPI IBIZA

    Thanks Tucker157. I have a decent Engine hoist, so will treat it the same way I've always done rear wheel drive jobs, bonnet off and lift it out. The Exhaust is a bit of a worry, might have to end up cutting it. We're obviously going to change the cambelt on the block we buy whilst it's...
  13. Engine swap 1.4 MPI IBIZA

    Would love to, but as it's my 17yr old sons car the insurance is high enough as it is. Nasher.
  14. Engine swap 1.4 MPI IBIZA

    We’ve finally given up trying to get the engine in our 1.4 IBIZA S running sweetly. The rest of the car is now ready for an MOT, and I was hoping that after it had been stood so long the engine just needed the rings to loosen up out of their lands in the pistons. But alas no, in fact the...
  15. 1.4 Throttle body

    Compression test proved the pots are all a bit low except 1, but considering the engine has been standing for a few months, then started and run with all sorts of problems a few times recently without ever really getting up to temperature I might try again after giving it a run up and down the...
  16. 1.4 Throttle body

    I bit the bullet today and drove it @ a mile(put it on my insurance for the day) to a local garage LMK, who are independent VAG specialists, and they aligned the TB for me as well as clearing all the codes etc. It's now a lot better than it was, but still seams to have a slight misfire at...
  17. Charcoal canister

    Thanks again gsog04:thumbup: What does the union with the electrical connector do?
  18. Charcoal canister

    Stupid question, what's the Charcoal canister for? It appears to have the fuel vent from the tank going into it, a plain tube to the inner wing area and another with an electrical connector going to upstream of the butterfly on the throttle body. I've had Diesels for years, so may have...
  19. 1.4 Throttle body

    Thanks gsof04, hadn't considered the oil cap. We've already had the throttle body off and given it a though clean, although it was exceptionally good before we started, perhaps somebody has already had it off to clean it. With that and the fact the car didn't have a battery in it for a...
  20. 1.4 Throttle body

    Can nobody help:shrug: Been playing with it again this morning and discovered the throttle body does the same thing without the engine running, so it can’t be vacuum related. The motion of the butterfly is a little jerky but goes through its full movement, and sits nicely at an opening...
