Oh forgot to say - garage I bought it from just replaced the diverter valve earlier this week.. I bet they put an oem one on there.. Wish I'd known I would of got them to put the forge one on instead!! That'll learn me for not posting on here sooner!!!!

I didn't think it would be as nimble and had no idea on the weight difference - so if I do as you outline above how much difference do you think it will make? Enough to warrant the spend? Thanks guys ;)

Well it's the same engine as my golf but don't know what the weight difference is and as I never tuned the golf I'm not sure what else was done to it apart from the exhaust upgrade As for power or comfort that's my problem really - if I start upgrading everything ill end up doing the...

Hi guys, It's been a while since I posted but knew where to come for the answer I'm looking for.. Ok just sold my golf 1.8t that had been remapped and was very quick.. Bought a girlie car audi a4 1.8t sport convertible which is lovely and smooth and doesn't break my back now that I'm an...

Hi Waynne... good to be back, I've missed you guys and spent a bit too long on 2 wheels, but back to four for a while now.. hahaha maybe she just doesn't press as hard on the accelerator as you do??

Managed to get it fixed today... had a look under the bonnet and one of the cables was dancing around under its own free will :) There is a plastic bracket at the end of the cables and it had basically snapped in half. Drove over to VW (in 3rd and 5th only) and picked up a replacement for 13...

Maybe you need to get your car checked? sounds like a dodgy reading to me :)

Hi Guys, I have just bought a Mk4 golf 1.8 T... just my luck I have had her less than a week and now I'm having problems.. Everything was fine until this evening when I did a short 5 mile journey, gear selection seemed a little sloppy but thought it could have been me and didn't think too...

Car went through the MOT this afternoon without any problems, so she now has a 12 month ticket on it :)

You would be amazed at what people will do when you see the blue lights coming up behind them! I was doing about 85mph down the fast lane of the motorway (which people forget is actually the emergency lane) I had my lights and sirens on and traffic was reasonably heavy put with plenty of room...

Hi Waynne, I have booked the car in for MOT tomorrow, if it goes straight through then great... if it doesn't then I will at least have an up to date fail sheet so anyone can see that it will have only failed on minor things and know the cost of repair. Unfortunately I can't put any money into...

Hi Waynne, Pretty sure it would be fairly easy to go through problem is I don't have the time or the money to do so... on the bones of my arse mate! as said working for the NHS im on school leavers wage! I know it would make sense to put it through, just not sure I can... I've just spent out on...

Hello all... Well I have decided to sell my beloved.. Problem is I have absolutely no idea how much to advertise her for?? I've looked on ebay etc but the prices differ quite a bit so thought I would ask here and see what you think is reasonable. She is a H reg silver GTO TT - Tax and MOT just...

Hi Mark, Thanks for your help - Just spoken to an auto factors close to home and they have it in stock :) I had a quick look on google yesterday and apparently I need to pop the headlights up, disconnect the negative terminal on the battery and then undo a few screws (not the adjuster screw...

I have a main beam light out and I'm trying to find a replacement... you would think it an easy task, but sadly no! The full beam works ok its just the main beam but main dealer said its all one sealed unit! and I'm looking at a 6 weeks wait for the part to be ordered. Can anyone tell me if...

I'm with you on the driving and the patience but unfortunately for me something goes amiss when I put the two together and someone else is in the driving seat! I am a terrible passenger and thus would make for the worst driving instructor in the world! :embarrest:

My brother is hunting round for a Bora if anyone is selling? He wants a 2ltr, 2000 or slightly older, nice clean condition and preferably black ! Found a couple on Auto Trader but they were quite far away... we are in Portsmouth Thanks in advance :)

Mine is 92 and Country Bumpkin advised Silkolene Pro-S 10/50. If thats what he uses then that whats going in my car :)

Waynne... ECU was done about a month ago and probably done 150 miles since, 200 max. Mark... I put a new battery on as the old one was toast so I'm guessing this may have something to do with the SRS light... I'll get it reset and go from there. The ECS button is dead, I don't have any lights...

Loved the Block film especially when Ricky Carmichael joined in... that made me very happy :) :)

Since the refurbished ECU went in I am having a couple of small issues with the GTO... My active aero only works once! the rear spoiler goes up ok when I hit 55 but then as soon as it comes back down again the light comes on and it wont go back up again until I have turned the engine off. My...

BEAUTIFUL! Mark I so need to bring my car to see you.... I just posted in another thread, mine is up and running again and back on the road legally next week - thanks to your advice and the wonderful ECU doc! Although yours makes mine look like a fiat 126!!! :)

Just wanted to say that I sent my ECU off to the ECU Doc and what a pleasure that guy is to deal with! He assured me that my car would purr like a kitten after he had worked his magic and he was spot on! He even gave me a hat, fridge magnet and a lighter :) Thanks for pointing me in the...

My hubby is selling his Mazda MX3 as I am putting the Mitsubishi back on the road this month and he is having my Audi Here is the link to the ad on gumtree which has his phone number and pics etc http://southampton.gumtree.com/southampton/84/40736184.html Any questions just give me a shout...

I really like that and its not normally my thing either but that particular one just has something about it that floats my boat! :)

When I took the pipe off from the fuel rails there was a little fuel that spurted out as soon as the pipe came off but then when I turned it iver there was nothing at all, not even a tiny drop! The first time I had an issue I took it out for the day and drove around 30 miles, stopped for fuel...

Hi Mark, I didn't realise it was you until I was reading some other posts yesterday! I know you are well respected in your field and have a wealth of knowledge with the GTO... I had planned to send it t the ECU doc -i've never used him before but I have heard a lot about him and never heard...

Ok I checked the boost and it sits still.. doesn't even flicker! So is this definitely an ECU issue? Thanks for the advice :) EDIT: removed the ECU and one of the capacitors has leaked :( :(

I tried to get the line off at the filter but it won't budge! Same with the fuel pipe at the delivery rail - i'll change the fuel filter anyway but I need to get it into the garage to do that...i'm only a girl!! I've only just seen your posts so I am going to reconnect the battery back up and...

Re: Fuel question... I believe its under the battery...

Hi all, Trying to start my Mitsubishi GTO TT after being sat for quite some time and its turns over no problem but it isn't firing. Can't smell any fuel and before I start putting in a new pump does anyone know if there is a way to check whether fuel is coming through ? Thanks in advance...

I live out in the sticks so sadly its a regular occurrence! My Active Aero light came on the the Mitsi and I couldn't figure out why - so I looked in the scoop at the front and there was a pigeon stuck in there... Then I hit a badger - I saw it run out and so slammed my brakes on but it...

Thanks for all the advice guys... Firstly its an auto gearbox and apparently it won't turn over when it cuts out as its still in gear. She also can't get it into N when its cut out. I believe she paid 3.5k for it and was told that it only had 2 owners from new - after she bought the car and...

Mine was hilarious! I had road rage at someone who pulled out in front of me so thought it appropriate to open my window and give them a piece of my mind as it was obvious I was taking my test! After that when they show you the road signs on the flip chart and ask you what they mean, I got a...

EDIT: Apparently it just says contact a main dealer ASAP!

Good point and I don't actually know! - I'll call my daughter and ask her to look and let you know....

Hey guys and Gals I wonder if you can give me some advice please? My daughter has an 04 VTR that she bought from a local dealer with 3 months engine warranty. It has since started to break down on her quite a bit and she has been back to the dealer with it who has now told her that the problem...

I believe there is a Zonda that lives local to me - I've seen it a few times but you here it coming long before :love:

Not sure if I read this too quickly but I thought the forum would stay the same - so we could still have our discussions with Johnny Foreigner.. it was just the rest of the site would split and that content would be directed more to the US etc Waynne...am I being blonde???
