Tucked the sports-van up for winter a month or so back: This was only possible because i bought myself an actual ice cream van as a winter chariot: Its completely brilliant to be honest. It is literally just quick enough to be perfect for its role as a fun commuter. 1 lady owner from...

Headed out with Expired this afternoon up to the airport after a few changes to his 1.2. The pictures dont really do it justice. Also nearly got nicked for apparently being terrorists. Must have been a slow day for the police. Cheers Tom

Superb looking Mk3 absolutely slammed into the ground on some tasty looking wheels. I slghtly pushed past you like a bell end in a red Z3M Coupe, sorry about that, was running mega late. Recognised it as a members car from here a while ago but not been active for a while now to remember whos...

Well finally picked this up a couple of days ago. Its superb. First impressions are slim due to working every day since having it, but primarily im staggered at the torque of the thing. In the 172 or even my 328, very little happens below 3k, but in the MC you can be in 4th at 30mph doing...

2 Days left. Bit of a bargain for the history and money spent. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120765041560?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Tom

Had the car a couple of weeks now. Its such a different experience to the 172. Performance wise it really isnt that different at all in terms of outright pace, it just goes about it in a completely different way. I was orginally after a sport, but after searching for a good car every day for...

My 172 did this a few days back and mysteriously cured itself after an hour. The immobiliser light comes on solid, goes off, yet the car just wont start - it turns over nice and strong but wont fire. So far ive swapped: Coil pack, leads, crank sensor. The fuel rail seems to be full of fuel...

Wont go into too much detail but im pretty sure the dodgy work experience kid at my store has walked off with my car key today. Had to get the spare down to get home. What worries me is that if he has indeed taken it, hes going to flog it to one of his pikey mates, knowing my car will be...

As of yesterday my ph1 has developed an odd fault. Theres an intermittant misfire happening, its pretty random but slightly more common on very low throttle inputs. Power is completely cut very sharply for around half a second, then jolts back in again. Ive changed the leads, coilpack and...

This happened a week or so back So i thought i'd take a few shots of how the car sits at the moment. Every minute of owning this car has been a pleasure. [/URL][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26319472@N08/5428758454/"] Cheers Tom

Set off out for a run to the Buttertubs Pass today, and after a hundred or so miles, was faced with this at the start of the road: Wasnt too miffed though as the road from Settle to Hawes past the ribblehead viaduct is amazing! Took these with my phone so the quality isnt great. Cheers Tom

Realised there was a big pool of water under my car, checked the coolant and it was well under minimum. Had only checked it 5 days previous and it was fine. Filled it back up and bunged some radweld in, which seems to have stopped the leaking, however when the car is stood and gets hot, steam...

Just a quick one - looking at the gearbox, and the positioning of the drain plug and the filler cap (the butterfly plug) on the side of the box, it doesnt look like there will be anywhere near enough room for the 3.1 litres autodata tells me the JC5 needs. Does this have to be done with the car...

finally got round to trying to get rid of the serv and airbag light which have been on ever since i got the car. have some 3.3ohm resistors, and had a look at the boosh's guide but its ph2 only. This is what i have coming out from under the seats (on the car loom side of things) and so took to...

Right this is getting annoying. The throttle on my ph1 has been sticking of late, slowly getting worse. Managed to get hold of another t/b and after having fitted it, its even worse. After some swearing, ive realised with the engine off its really quite smooth, its impossible to make it...

As above really. The exciter wire which is a simple spade connection with the starter, just keeps wriggling itself off the terminal on the starter. Its getting really annoying. Thought id solved it recently by crimping the female lead in slightly so as to grip tighter onto the terminal, but...

Not everyone will be happy about this but the Cups came out of hiding a few days back. They are a bit of a mess, and i really do like the 1.2's but the car just sits so perfect on these. Also got hold of a fabia splitter and fitted that a week ago which has finished off the front end nicely...

I need help! Just come back from NW Performance form having the belts changed and a service. Driving home, stopped for a piss, got back in the car, turned the key and nothing. Bumped it off and got home - on a quick inspection im pretty certain the starter exciter wire has completely come...

My car has a longlife custom exhaust fitted (by the previous owner) Noticed it was hanging a bit funny today, popped it in the air and found this. Taking it down to them friday morning but i imagine they are going to blame it on the car being so low etc. Need to have the cambelt changed...

Summer showed up in yorkshire yesterday so I dragged Aluco out for a drive over some of my favourite roads. When anyone moans about the simota being an awful power-sapping kit, this is why i say "i dont care" NNIO736TbBo Was a chance to further test the mini-cam too, but dissapointed with the...

So the ph1 had its first machine polish, and its first ever coat of wax. Have to say that the emo ones' bean came up immaculately as well, the pictures dont do it nearly enough justice. We started out trying to fit my new lambda sensor, failed miserably so got on with a huge clean. Washed...

Simple question - is the single lambda sensor on a ph1 172 (double barrel shotgun cat) the same as on later 172/182's? Think ive found an NGK one on ebay for just over £40 delivered

Cliosport and evo sticker in the back - just like mine! Parked next to you when i came in, looked absolutely mint.

Not mine but may be of interest to someone. I already have too many wheels or id have a punt. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OZ-ALLOY-WHEELS-FORD-FOCUS-ROVER-16-WITH-TYRES_W0QQitemZ180483352812QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET?hash=item2a05a568ec

Just taken the plunge on an N900 on vodafone. Thing is ive been with o2 pretty much all my life, apart from 1 year with orange which was a total nightmare. o2 dont do the n900 on upgrade though, so ive had to go vodafone. Just wanted to know peoples experiences with them - coverage, support...

Still relatively new to the xbox, always had playstations so this is a learning curve. Never had to buy these 'points' before but i want the new dlc from forza so im going to have to put my hand in my pocket. My question is: where do people go to get their points? I want them now so i can use...

Damn near walked out into traffic drooling at it sat at the lights, then walked past it parked up in morrisons so had a good look at it. Looked mint, i want it. A lot.

The sister has a Mk3 dynamique s 138. Hasnt used it for about a week, gone out today and the brakes judder like hell and wobble the whole steering when applied at anything above 20mph. Had a look and the side of pads which are visible without taking the wheel off look low but have at least a...
