Since I bought my R3 in 2016 the car has had a small parasitic battery drain. Enough that the starter would be slow if not started for a week in winter. I've gone through more batteries than was ideal.

I'd always put it down to aftermarket headunits (and later bought one that has a verified zero...

So I had one for ages. Ran beautifully, but the constant fight against the rust was a nuisance albeit I had the plan to get it sorted once and for all.

And then Covid happened.

Hi all,

Still potentially interested in my old PZ back.

I always keep an eye out for it popping up after the buyer said he would sell it back to me if he ever wanted to sell on, needless to say he didn't, and sold it to an unknown.

It's still in MOT, however it's expires 29th Nov. Looking at...

Hi,

Long shot I know but I am looking at buying an S1 (04 reg) 231 model, but the one I've seen doesn't have a compression test. It felt & sounded good at weekend, but of course that's not a reliable indicator.

Does anyone on here live in or near the Cheshire/Wales border area, own a compression...

Has anyone painted their intake manifold a different colour? Please share pics if you have. I'm looking for ideas and some inspiration.

First of all, I would like to apologize for the incredibly stupid question, but I have clue where this wire is. It comes up as light green on the driver side kick panel on all the forums online, but I'm not sure if I got the right one and I'm unsure on how to test a negative polarity wire. Please...

Hi guys and girls.
Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoying the things we post out of our body shop.
I know for many of you all rust and bodywork is a massive issue when coming to have them done but here we come in with a realistic approach and good workmanship in order to get the job done....

Can someone please confirm the outside diameter of the screens that come with the aem intake please?

Thanks

Don't know if you frequent Pistonheads chaps
