I changed both top mounts about 15k miles ago roughly. I noticed a noise that sounded similar to when the rubber on the top mount was split last time and you guessed it, the passenger side mount is split again. I'm guessing the massive pot hole the size of the grand canyon I went in a few weeks...

Just got a new scorpion exhaust after waiting weeks for it to be made. Went to put the slash cut tips on and they seem to be the same diameter pipe as the back box so don't slide over. Anyone had this problem before? Sent from my SM-S901B using Tapatalk

I'm trying to decide between the res and non res version of the scorpion exhaust. I don't do many long journey's so it's mainly town driving and I know the biggest complaint is the drone on motorways Just wondering if anyone would say the non res version is similar to having the centre silencer...

Hello everyone Recently I have had the ABS and ESP lights come on the dash. When first start the car they don't come on straight away but will after a minute or so. I sometimes feel the ABS cut in slightly when coming to a junction but apart from that everything works fine. I had a similar...

Hello everyone I've been attempting to do my passenger side ball joints on my 197 but I've been struggling to removing the upper ball joint Has anyone got any advice on pressing the old one out? The aluminium casting is such an odd shape I can't get any attachments to sit properly on it...

Hello all I have had some Powerflex mounts fitted for probably a year now and I get bad vibrations that make a booming noise inside the car The mounts I have are the upper and lower inserts. Anyone have any suggestions apart from going back to standard? Does one of the mounts cause more...

Bit of a random question I know. The past couple of weeks I've had a couple birds poo on my car. Whenever I notice any I always wash it off straight away so it doesn't stain. This time it must've been on there for about 30 minutes and nothing I try will fully remove the stain mark. I tried...

Thought I would put this in the general chat as it applies to the 197 and 200. I'm changing the LEDs in my speedo but before I go ripping off the speedo needles and messing something up has anyone removed them before? Can't find any information on removing them for the mk3. Normally they just...

So ever since owning the car (about a year now) I've noticed it splutter on idle. You can hear it clearly when standing behind the car and the exhaust note goes up and down and you hear little pops and chuffs (very technical vocabulary I know) I've had an engine light come on a few times and it...

Just managed to get this pin out after struggling for ages. Got 3 out and the last one was stuck (always the same) The simple task of sliding the pads out doesnt seem like it's as simple as it should be. One pad came out really easily, the other, well I cant get it to wiggle out. Any...

Hello everyone I'm getting myself a bit confused trying to calculate wheel offset and all that good stuff. I read on the forum that the standard wheels are 7.5J ET68. I've measured my wheels and it looks like they're 7.5J ET63. I'm currently running 20mm spacers and I'm looking for some new...

Hello everyone I've got a loud squeak coming from what sounds like the drivers side front wheel. It's a loud creaking noise and can be heard outside the car as well as inside. I've taken the wheel off and turned the steering wheel to try locate the noise but it only seems to do it when the...
