    Hi everyone, A few months back my car started over heating. So i took it in to tha garage and had a shit load of work done and new parts fitted.

So in theory the top end is like new!!!! Last week it started to leak oil. So took it back to the same garage thinking it was something they had done! i found out it was the oil cooler. This has now been fitted along with two new hoses that

    Hi not been on for a while but would really appreciate some advice, A week before bugjam i bought a set of JOM Coilovers from venom motorsport.

Why would this happen? have they not been fitted properly? the car handles really well now and is only lowered about 50 mil as i havnt had the arches rolled. This is really doin my nut in as i paid nearly a grand to have the head done, a new thermostat, new rad

    Hi, a while back we got a mk3 gti 16v for the mrs. she was worried bout changin from her pug 306 but my vr6 changed her mind. last week she said it was chugging a bit, so i topped up the levels n hoped for the best as nothing looked wrong. Well a couple of days ago i tried to start it and all i got was the car turning over and not firing. with the oil light flashing on the dash. i have now changed the plugs, leads, rotor arm, and dizzy cap. when i took out the plugs they were all an inch deep in oil!!!! so left the plugs out and turned it over for a bit to pump the oil out. i cleaned everywhe

In 1st wk, drivin to the garage to get wheel wobble checked out the n/s/f wheel came off at 60mph. scary shit!!! so money for coilies went on a £350 bill for new hub, discs, pads, wishbone. etc. Then i started to do the little bits. i'e all lights, grill, rub strips, scoops, interior goodies, etc. All lookin gd 4 now so booked her in for the mot.
