    Ross LY 200

    So after 2 years of membership, I'm finally getting round to starting some form of progress thread (something I've been saying I'll do for about 1 year 11 months) I'll hope to not bore you too much with a life story, and try and overview the last few years of ownership in this post! I bought...

    200: Belt service done, now I can't find reverse :(

    Just had the big service completed at a main dealer yesterday, with the car being 6 years old now (56,000 on the clock). The cars been running a dream and have suffered no problems whatsoever. Collected the car yesterday, and thought when leaving that 5th gear felt stiff (no problem, box is...

    200: Mad Friday!

    Turns out today’s going to be an expensive one! Woke up this morning to this sight: Quick pump of the tyres and a trip round to KwikFit... £130 later I’ve got a replacement on the way (only got the fronts changed 5 weeks age!) Then after a quick browsing online I found a set of these coming...

    200: Easy question! Pedal pad removal/tightening

    Hi all, Does anyone know what is needed to tighten the pads on the pedals on a Mk3? Seems like extra vibrations through my accelerator pedal have caused it to loosen off a bit, and could do with tightening! (makes a vibrating buzzing sound when lifting at high revs with your foot off the...

    200: Torque Arm - Engine Knocking

    Morning All, I’ve recently swapped out the engine mounts for the uprated KTEC mounts (upper engine / low stabiliser and gearbox) to stop the play on the new flexi’s that have been welded in! Ran a dream for a week until yesterday where there’s a noticeable knocking sound when raising the...

    Expensive morning for the LY (and life in general!!!)

    So as previously mentioned the exhaust is on its way out, and I drove it to my parents this morning sounding more like a corvette! So on my way to the local garage to have a quick inspection I hear a lovely stonechip clattered again my car, not a great start! The car was quickly looked at...

    Exhaust Advice

    So it’s seems like my temporary fix of welding up the exhaust has lived up to the expectation of lasting me no more than a few weeks! (I’ve re-adopted @BigBen recommendation of turning the radio up!) It’s rattling better than ever, the exhaust appears to be blowing and i know the performance is...

    Electric The Future?

    So a good mate of mine turns up with his BMW i3 begging to take me for a spin... And I'm stood there looking at this strange box like car thinking "why on earth does he want to take me in this?" I have to say it though (and I feel dirty stating such a thing!) but I was seriously impressed...

    Simpletons Question - Tyre Markings

    This should be an easy one for many! There's two markers on the tyre, one of which is identifying the legal tread, but what's the raised marker for? I'm pretty sure in the past I've changed a set of fronts because the tread has met this marker (shaking my head and expecting some well deserved...

    200: Perished steering wheel replacement

    Finally got round to getting a replacement wheel for my current one, which is peeling its way nicely to the core (embarrassing quality for a steering wheel) In my bid to keep things OEM (as beautiful as them Alcantara steering wheels look!), managed to get my hands on this one locally for £60...

    Generic "what's this sound" post

    So I've just parked up and my home, and as I reversed into my bay I had the door open to make sure I was tight against the line, and it made what sounded like a fair squeal as I started moving backwards from underneath the car... So I sat there in neutral, handbrake on just working the revs...

    4 x ContiSport Contact 5's going on this weekend! All corners were getting close to the mark, so it's time for a fresh set! Normally only ever swapped the fronts but it's time for the lot! Expensive day but managed to grab them at £93 a corner (with the VAT knocked off) but have definitely...
