Pretty sure there is a 5 door set on eBay, might save you a chew

Looking for a decat downpipe if anyone has one

Mine are stuck on, sorry

I’m not a mechanic either mate, I will endeavour to find out if my car has a flap for the heater matrix as well as the re-circulation flap as I have no idea. Thanks for your thoughts they are much appreciated

Would it do this with the re-circulation on ? Or am I mistakenly thinking the matrix by-pass is different to the re-circ ? Pretty sure it works as when it's cold the car steams up with the re-circulation on, last week I was waiting in the car so had the engine running and the blowers on slow to...

Hi mate, I’ve tried it with and without the recirculation on and when stationery and it makes very little difference but sounds like is is opening and closing the flap. I get cold air when I turn the heater knob down to cold and hot when I turn it back up again, I reported this to the garage...

Hi Baz, cheers for that but I removed my silica bag a good while back and it was still intact

Never got this sorted and now it's cold again and I no longer have the luxury of having my friendly mechanic. My car has virtually no heat through the heaters whilst driving but strangely has plenty heat when idling stationary for a while, in both cases the guage reads a steady 90 degrees. Any...

Costco are listing them for £170 each plus fitting, no idea if that's competetive or not, sure my present set were about £150 each

Mine came with bridgestones and like Phazer said do not fit them they are aweful, If you can find them the Michelin Pilot Supersports are great IMO

Has anyone needed to replace there exhaust flexi pipe ? Mine has been flagged as an advisary on my mot as having a very slight leak, I'm just curious as to how big a job it is and how much it will likely cost. I'm a little gutted too as this is my cars very first advisary

Also I think the quote they gave was rather high, I can get the NGK BKR7EIX plugs ( I believe they are the correct type ) on Ebay for less than £40. I can't be sure till I get a chance to check but I suspect the round covers they said were VVT caps will likely just need new O rings, If so I'll...

I did think the garage were taking the p155 TBH, cheers Phazer

Are Iridium plugs any better than OEM ones ? The garage doing my map suggested I have them fitted, also there is a tiny amount of oil residue near the VVT covers, I think maybe from a clumsy oil top up. They have quoted £185 to replace the seals and plugs, seems steep to me, any thoughts...

I honestly thought coking up was a thing of the past, but the more I learn, which isn't a lot lol, direct injection seems to cause this. I have ordered some GDI additive and some foam type cleaner to see if the DIY approach helps at all.

Does walnut blasting clean the piston crowns as well as the inlet tract/valves ?

Are all the additives and treatments pointless, they claim allsorts but I suppose they would

My engine/car is just over 75k, that was the first price I was quoted for walnut blasting I kinda gave up after that. The garage weren't keen on doing the map till what they recomended got done, they suggested plugs and a couple of seals on the VVT covers as well

Thanks fot the advice on the plug in carbon cleaning, I've been quoted £450 for walnut blasting, this will put the whole remap thing to around a grand, think I might just forget the idea

I finally got round to taking my car for a Revo stage 1 remap today, however when the garage did the health check they found carbon deposits on the valves and tops of the pistons and suggested I have the engine carbon cleaned, anyone have any experience or knowledge of this ? Are fuel additives...
