    200T/220T buying advice

    I’m on the lookout for one of the above but I’m looking for a bit advice first. The car will be used on the road and track so won’t be too extreme but also won’t be standard. Is there any difference in the physical engine spec between the 200 and the 200? I know about the steering, suspension...

    Brembo calipers rebuild and paint

    Can anyone give some suggestions on where to get this done. I have a set of Brembo calipers that I would like powder coating. They’re not damaged at all from how it drives but when they come apart for powder coating they might need seals, so I’d prefer someone who can supply and fit these where...

    Removing rear light cluster

    Is it simply a case of removing the 2 Torx screws on the inside then pulling backwards? I’ve undone the screws but the light unit still feels like it’s attached. When I pull I feel like I’m putting far too much force into it just to remove a light.

    Front indicators

    Has anyone changed their bulbs for silver or LED items? Struggling to find silver ones other than Phillips although they still have a lot of orange on them. I’d go for LED if anyone can recommend some that don’t show up an error code. Thanks

    Front brake cooling

    I'm hoping someone has some experience on this. I'm looking to get some cooling into the front brakes. I've currently got 25mm spacers so I'm aware that less air will be getting through to the brakes through the wheels but I want to keep them on. Has anyone made some DIY cooling ducts? I was...

    How to request - remove gear gaiter

    I understand that the gear knob comes off by pulling upwards but how does the gear gaiter come off? I've got a leather one and don't want to snap any clips taking the old one out

    Rear brake set up - Options

    I've currently got standard rear discs, pads and bearings on the car but the discs are due to be replaced shortly. Has anyone got recommendations on what to go for. The car is light so the rear doesn't do a huge amount of braking, ideally I just want a standard disc and pad with a good quality...

    Mercedes DRLs

    Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? When I'm in front of a Mercedes with DRLs on a motorway the DRLs seems to wobble up and down, like they're not attached properly. It only seems to be Mercedes.

    Siezed bonnet catch

    Went to fill the car with washer fluid yesterday and the bonnet won't close. It will go down but won't lock in place. I've looked at the catch and its stuck, the cable is pulling with the handle from inside the car but it doesn't affect the catch due to it being stuck. I know this was common...

    LED headlight bulbs

    I've got projector headlamps in my car but my lass's car doesn't come with them. Although her car's headlamps work as they should there is still a noticeable difference between the 2 cars in the dark, the lrojectors are much better. She isn't interest in changing the headlights to projectors so...

    Mk4 sport steering wheel

    I've got a mk3 which naturally has a poor quality steering wheel. I'm looking to get a replacement or get mine trimmed but I'm out off buying a new 197 one as the quality will just be the same. If I want a replacement then will it be possible to put a mk4 sport wheel on and will the cruise...
