Right-o, about to get cracked on with the subframes on the 'nana, so just stripping them down ready for powdercoating. Aiming to get the old bushings out - but does anyone have any recommendations for new replacement bushings?

I've seen Strongflex and the rear subframe bushings they do - both in...

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...

Figured I'd post up here to say my Dorito Decade has passed today!

The car still exists and I still talk to the owner, but it definitely got me hooked!

This is a question commonly asked here on the forum, or FaceBook, or at car meets, and is usually the wrong question!
