    The 197 Has Gone

    Appears allot of people are selling up lately, good luck with the 172 anyway.

    Golf R32

    Go for it, much nicer than the Clio imo. Try one with a DSG box as well, they look fantastic.

    Need your opinion :)

    I always put old tyres on the front and new tyres on the rear but that's mainly to make sure the old rubber gets replaced next. However I don't think it really matters any more with modern cars.

    Gearbox crunch

    Try and get it repaired mate, if you have a warranty then it should be covered. This will be my last RS I think, getting tired of all the little niggles now that all add up.

    How long before you can Wax

    Get a room, I am scarred now! :lol: Anyway, if sprayed then might be a good idea to leave them for a few weeks just make sure you give them a good wash every week.

    Gearbox crunch

    If its a proper crunch then no oil will help you, if its just a notchy feel then changing oil might help. Have a search though, this has been covered so many times as its a very common problem. However I would not recommend Fuchs, it made no difference in mine and imo is just as good as the...

    4 New Tyres soon....

    Another vote for Hankook V12's. Got them on the back and they grip like crazy, granted they are not being worked as hard as the front tyres but they appear to be punching above their weight.

    Has your gearbox been replaced? Yes or no?

    Only repaired again? You should have pushed for it to be replaced this time, likelihood of it failing again I would imaging is quite high but then even with it being totally replaced there is no saying it will not do the same :( Very interesting to see the gearbox like that, thanks for sharing...

    Engine bay whoring

    Its a type of wrapping but involves water, allowing for complex items to be covered much easier.

    Alien Green 200 Cup *** New AG 200 (number 3) from page 85***

    If you are happy then that's all that matters however the K-tec spoiler would have looked fantastic and been nice and subtle.

    Halfords are so useless

    Halfords are so useless

    Why are Halfords the most useless stores on the high street? Went into my local one to buy a Laser mini pump to pump oil, spent 10min looking around then I asked if they had any in stock and spent another 15min with them trying to find it both in store and on the computer :s Then I got told...

    Best way to check gearbox oil level.

    I did buy some Fuchs TITAN SINTOFLUID SAE 75W-80 but I have been doing lots of reading and I mean lots, some say not to use GL-5 and others say its fine but from reading what others have said changing to Fuchs has made no difference. Then started to look at Redline and lots of people swear by...

    Carbon Dipping

    Just an update, received an email back from Wicked Coatings and they are willing to do a 25% discount however this is on a agreed minimum spend and not the amount of people. Just to give you an idea on prices, here is the quote I got for the items I want done: 3x Vent surrounds £50 1x Centre...
