  1. Hi will this bolt straight onto the stock exhaust downpipe on a fabia vrs? Thanks
  2. Someone put my name down please And a message nearer the tine would behandy so I dont forget
  3. Heard allot of them being good. Ordered
  4. Mine are on the too do list again. Reminds me lol
  5. Parking up quickly after allot of braking. Or (just a note. Not saying you are) some people follow cars too close and seem to be constantly braking. Even when the car ahead is going one speed. They follow. Brake power. Brake power brake power if your doing that. Your breaks will get stupid hot. Even in towns. do you live or work in a hilly area? Coming down a hill before parking up? You dont have to be holding the brake pedal to warp discs when hot. If you simply stop and release the brakes. You will still warp them as the pad is always in contact. Causing uneven heat disapation Did your uncle clean off the ruse before fitting new discs? Alittle bit of rust on hub can make disc sot unevenly making it give the warp effect. Could be a bad batch of discs??? all of the above are possible ideas. None of them could be true. Could be a binding caliper making a pad stick slightly as you drive. Causing heat to build up. And when you stop. It caught in one place. May have thrown more questions than answers. But worth looking into. You can always take wheel off and get it put into gear with both front wheels off. Amd use soemthibg like a pen or pencil. And hold against caliper(to hold steady) then point the tip on the surface of the brake disc. You will see if its distorted straight away. Hold the tip a fraction from the spinning disc and see the the gap stays the same or occoletes slightly. It should stay the same note. Dont put your fingers where they can get trapped. Use first gear. Make sure both front wheels are off
  6. Just go to any car part shop and give them reg. They should tell you .
  7. I find the more expensive tyres designed with being goodon tarmac are crap on wet grass. But budbudget tyres have more cross cut designs and are better on grass.
  8. Bridgestone protanzas 3? The best one in the range
  9. I thought you fit a revised egr gasket plate with a smaller hole to stop the shudder at 1800/2000revs when toodling around? Revised gasket and blanking plate are 2 different things?? Maybe wrong though lol To stop eml coming on. Simply map out
  10. Tried continentals.. ok then goodyear better then bridgestone protanzaz great Now im on vredrestien sportrak 5's they are amazing. Made the bridgstones feel like budgets. Infact they are as good in wet as bridgstones are in the dry they are quite tricky to get hold of but worth it. German made (enough said). They even have good looking sidewalls
  11. Sounds like you have warped your discs again. Warping discs is drivers fault not a natural fault most of the time. If the wheel wobble under braking went away for a period then come back. You have warped them again Bad condition console bushes will cause the wheel to pull to one side under braking. (As the wheel pulls the swing arm towards rear of car under braking it alters the ache of the steering wheel making the vehicle turn) But if your changing your console bushes anyway. I advise wd40 and too use either polibush or seat bushes. Polibushes push in by hand
  12. Hopefully. No one knows where your located...
  13. I put it down to my injectors getting tired now and the lovely cold air being denser and giving more power
  14. I love how mine sounds like a lumpy tractor when irs really cold . I just let it tick over for a min then set out driving. Take it noce a steady till its warm and then away we go. One thing ive noticed... I never ever ever need to wait for spark plugs. I just turn and start instantly. Ignoring the glowplig light and always starts on first turn. Never known an enfine like it
