Everytime I go for an extended drive somewhere, or setting off uphill and going round a round about. My exhaust rests on the hanger, causing an absolutely awful rattling noise. Is there any tips or tricks I could to stop it as my mechanic said there's nothing I can do to fix it and I refuse to...

It's more curiosity if anything. Everytime I see someone with a digital heating unit I get a little bit jealous. I have a manual heating unit, is there anyway of converting it to digital. Has anyone done it and if you have, how? Cheers

As the title suggests, it's not a Clio... however, it is detailing orientated. I had the joys of cleaning this almost freshly painted BM. I don't claim to be a detailer by any shot, as I've still got some road to go, but I got a really good finish on this, & I was quite proud of myself. The...

Hi all, Got a 57 plate 197 F1. This is how it sits at the minute. Question is, I want to have the 'race car' look so the arch sits just above the wheel, so I'm thinking about 30mm (a guess). Which springs are the best and do I need new shocks to go with? I've only done coilovers previously...

Just bought a new unit to replace my faulty old one. Old one powered up, but no display on screen. Took it out, waited for my new one to turn up... it arrived, I plugged it into the ISO conversion block provided, turn car elec on and nothing, tried holding the power on on the headunit, still...

As the title suggests. Is anyone going this year? Are you going for a walk around, for the weekend and/or showing your car? I've been for the last two years and it's a great laugh with friends and good opportunity to catch some sun :D I should be somewhere on the 'Simply Modified' stand...

Hi all, Bought the car with a stupid eBay special induction kit on it... It has terrible heatsoak and gives me awful power at low RPM. I was looking at getting the £214.80 KTR Induction kit, but I've done some reading on the ITG panel filter, only problem is, I don't have the original housing...

Morning chaps! As the title suggests, I'm trying to shop for wheels at the minute, and from what my research suggests, the wheels below are: 5x108, 17x7.5j, ET53 (I'm running 15mm spacers too) Can someone clarify what pcd these are, so I can get more of definitive answer on new wheels. Cheers!

Now then guys/gals. My heaters do not work on 3 & 4. Pretty sure its not the motor as it wouldn't work on the first two, so my question to you more experienced than I, where is the resistor pack kept within the car? Also is this the right unit to buy...

Hi guys, I think I made a boo-boo... I've bought some rear discs that were acclaimed for a Mk3 197. It's a 5 stud pcd, now I'm going to ask the stupid question. My discs have arrived as 4 studs!? Someone put me out my misery!!

Hi All, As some of you may or may not know, my n/s/r piston seized on my caliper, I've ordered a new caliper but whilst looking I noticed that the handbrake cable doesn't come off as easily as the brake line does. Any advice on how to get it off before I approach it tomorrow? Cheers!
