On the same day there was a 200 3 year newer than mine that did 163bhp and the guy said the flexi had gone on the exhaust just after it! Defo problems...

    Powerflex engine mounts.

    I have all 3 fitted minus the gearbox mount (not the dog bone insert) and at first I thought the same as most! What have I done! But after 1 half years and 8000 miles I don't have a problem with them.

    LY200 - too loud or blow up again, taking bets!

    You could check the coloured sticker on your shock absorbers? I can't remember the colour code but that tells you if you have a cup set up or standard set up.

    Running gear noise doing my head in, any experts on?

Hopefully this is not he case with your car but the way you describe it sounds similar to...

    Central locking repeatedly activating

    My car did this also just before Xmas m8 and the alternator had packed it in and in turn done the battery in! I got the alternator recondition in work then bought a bosh battery from Halford on a deal for £52 and it is all sorted now. A knackered battery will drop all the modules off one by one!

    Exhaust Tips?

    That's good to hear, must have been well looked after by the previous owner. I have a cup spoiler, how do you find the recaro seats ? I used to have the standard seats and got the recaros for a really decent price, love them.
