During training I noticed control braking are strong at over 30 KPH when the wheel rotates around a full circle in both directions just refuses to halt the vehicle, there is almost a sense of ABS stopping me completely braking and only at the speed drops below 23 KMH full containment. Is it...

alright, it is time for money to go to the bin - i'm gonna order parts and let a garage that i trust do the work. i did a full timing job (except for the dephaser) about a year ago, so water pump is new, also - aux belt and tensioner have been just replaced recently. can anyone help me with a...

bumping this - happened to me today, key worked when i parked, didn't work 3 hours later. starts fine, it's just the button that doesn't work. led flashes, so it's not battery. is this fixable or do i need to get a new key?

thanks @Dr Jekyll :)

follow up question, does the orange bushing thingy on the bottom of the gearstick wear? i mean - could it be a source of sloppiness in the gear stick?

sorry for the mix up, a garage changed the belt, not me personally. da rok, thanks, i'll look in to it.

Thanks diagro, i'll make sure. Typhoon- u won't belive the prices here. Just a quick example: Pair of genuine front shocks for the ph1: 600 pounds. Crankshaft pulley: 300 pounds. List goes on... Buying it in the uk and shipping oversees will cost me roughly half of what it would cost here.

Hi Cub, i'm not in the uk (and not in europe), and it'll cost quite a bit more. so yeah i'm asking. You are right that i lack experience, but i have done almost everything on my own so far and havent caused too much damage, it is my first car (had bikes before). Anyways, i believe that if i...

any idea how much do the genuine locking tools cost? thinking of doing it my self...

f**k my life :(

Hi, a year ago i changed the timing belt and tensioner on my ph1, but being an Idiot i neglected the dephaser. no the car is "dieselish" at low rpm - and i think the dephaser's life is coming to an end. Can the dephaser be changed on it's own? do you need the locking tools? is it a full on...

Hi So apparently physics and gravity took 3 centre caps and i now only have one left. Replacements are nowhere to be found, can you guys recommend a sollution? (Preferably on ebay and with international shipping, since im not in the eu.) Thanks

bumping this old thread, i have replaced the battery to chasis earth, still no luck. is it the dash cluster? i fixed most of the issues, but this temp gauge - is driving me nuts

I just started a project on my ph1 The rear of the car is done and so is the drivers door But theres only little difference so far since most of the noise comes from the front wheel arches and fire wall, hopefully ill be done in a few weeks

Replaced the rear wiper and arm exactly one day after the stormiest week of the year and just before the sunniest week of the winter *facepalm*
