    DS1.11 overheating

    As above I would check the pad has free movement when cold sat in the carrier, as they get hot they will bind.

    Retired the PH1 Workhorse

    Interesting, did you go for the PS4 or the PS4S ? I've read the PS4S are the natural successor to the Supersports, though I'm not sure on available sizes.

    Retired the PH1 Workhorse

    Mine have not shown any cracking on the outside, but the insides have failed twice now. Need to get the car into the garage to start a new claim with Michelin. Reading reviews on Michelin webpage does show other people having early failures as little as 5k miles, these are on other vehicles.

    MK4 220 Trophy Owners

    Hi all, I’m looking for anybody who has had their alignment checked on their 220 trophy and has a printout. Also has anybody managed to get more than 12,000 miles out of a set of Supersports ? I’m not on my second set of front Supersports In 24k miles and each time the inside of the tyre is...

    Best mod?

    1. One of those little innocent smoothie hats on my PH1 gearstick - Winter. 2. Cooksport springs - holds up to cornering well without being too firm. 3. m1144 pads - the bite was very good on mine. 4. Yanoo stiff shift kit for the gearstick - removed most of the play.

    Retired the PH1 Workhorse

    24k mile update, car was due it's first MoT but was slightly delayed due to covid. No other issues have developed bar 1 - The Supersports have failed again. Checked the tyres today and once again they have failed after covering the same mileage as the original set, - it appears Supersports may...

    Is this too far gone

    Yeah the Deox C is pretty harmless to anything but rust, but I would put bearings in too - they are an absolute nightmare to get out though (Had to use acetylene and a press on mine) Looks like you have upper camber bolts too

    Is this too far gone

    You can get the radio code from the serial on the headunit if you are without (There used to be a page on here for it too) Bilt Hamber Deox C is very good if you want to shift some of that rust, I done my calipers with it and they came out like new (Stick the part into a container and pour a hot...

    Snow

    My 172 handled pretty well on rainsport's - the mk4 trophy however is downright dangerous.

    Black 1*2 Washington Galleries

    I was in the LY trophy, thing goes very well, suspect low boost conversion judging my the low down torque and on the quieter side !

    Timing setup issue

    I had a nightmare doing mine and must have done the process around 8 or 9 times before I was happy, I found after the rotations that it would be every so slightly out (Tool would go in but not wiggle) sticking a socket onto the end of the exhaust cams and applying pressure would actually move...
