Hi, The Mrs has got an 07 plate 1.6 Dynamique with Climate Control. She is complaining that there is no way to turn the climate control off other than turning the fan speed down to zero but she still gets warm air coming through the vents. She wants to know if there is anyway to turn off the...

Hi Boys n Gals, Just thought i'd show a few pics of the engine bay on the Ph-Quick with all the polished bits and the new K&N 57i Gen2 Kit installed with a bispoke Ram Air Pipe. I had a normal 57i kit before and I have to say the Gen II sounds far better. Added a nice chrome Ram Pipe flute...

Peeps, My Mk2 Ph1 is starting to sound a bit raspy / Blowy around the Cat. I'm just wondering what is the best route to take. I.e. Decat and replace the Cat for each MOT or go for a more expensive sports cat. Also who makes the best decats / sports cats for the Ph-Quick and what are the costs...

Just got back from said event and it was fantastic. The Clio Cup racing was mint plenty of clipping kerb onto 2 wheels action especially around Coppice. The World Series cars were ridiculously loud. Renault F1 Car was just silly fast. I want a Megane Trophy with its 3.5V6 330BHP engine as...

Currently on my Ph-Quick I have a K&N 57i Kit which has been on there for the last 3 years and is getting a bit worse for wear now. So i'm thinking of changing it and I'm looking at the 57i Gen 2 kit. They cost about £172 so lots more than a standard K&N but I'm happy with the old kit and love...

Anyone catch Top Gear tonight?? Bet all of you did. What did you all think to James May thrashing a new 1.6 Dynamique down a steep town hill in Portugul against a crazy Mountain Biker?? Clarkson seemed to like it! Like the Richard Burns Tribute Too. R.I.P. Rich. Rob
