Anyone know of anywhere close to Middlewich that will take my old disintegrating exhaust tip off and weld a new one on (i would provide it), so basically I need a welder. Anyone know anywhere thats reasonable? and would do the job?

recommend PD150 headbolts too to stop potential headlift.

standards 2.25 so would need a reducer for the 2.5

made me chuckle. thanks.

mine does this, it will show 0 then show 70 then 90 and go up and down all day long. it's the sensor that needs changing.

Sorted?

Hey, couple places in Middlewich on the industral estate. Hopefully see you around, Mines a red one - CU54 theres a few around Mwich/Winsford.

if you take your car for an MOT before the test certificate expires and you get a fail iirc it's illegal to drive on the road as technically it's been tested and isn't roadworthy regardless of having a week or w/e left on the current cert.

OK mate no worries, keep me informed cheers.

Hi Mankee, Are these still available? and would you be willing to organise a courier to CW10? If so could you tell me how much ontop of the £300 it would be thanks mate. Dan

I had the same issue, luckily it broke with enough wire to solder some new wire in to extend it and then crimp it. Feels bad for anyone having this wire break inside the solenoid connection.

I have a full piper system, 2.5" downpipe, decat 0 boxes.. You don't get a mega COOOOOOO but you can hear a muffled coo, I guess it's down to turbo setup. I think the miltek downpipe reason is a myth imho.

I think almost all red ones have gone now.. I know mines ****.

if it doesn't attempt to start it will be the common issue with the solenoid wire snapping on the starter motor. Had this issue last week, easy fix battery out, add some well needed wire, solder heat wrap.

Best place for a map in or around Cheshire? Getting a decat fitted but the car already soots like a nutter... I believe the maps running way to rich, lots of power but it's like a chimney. Fancy getting it sorted in the coming months as it's a pain in the ass to clean.

A vRS look-a-like 1.2? No wonder people give the vRS a hard time calling them slow! LOL.

Nothing like a 4 year bump =P

No Smoke No Poke. Mapped Fabia all day second gear - 110.

I have a 55 plate and it's ASZ - best check to be sure

Ah that sounds good, just had a chat with Damien, waiting on Dampers to be sent out but it sounds like it should be a good set. fingers crossed.

Hello all.... Just wanted to know what you thought about the Vogtlands -40mm kit, anyone wearing it? Didn't want to go Coils as I had them on my Corsa back on the old CCUK days and it was like driving in a tank. so... Vogtlands? any ideas? too late now as I've ordered them but if anyone has any pics I would be grateful... my Furby looks like a mini monster truck so I can't believe it will be worse! Cheers, Dan

What I don't understand is, a remap is a mod that a large proportion of Mk1 Fabias (and other diesels) have gone through... So. lets say, you'r a 55 year old woman who happens to buy a mapped furby. You know non the wiser because it wasn't advertised as "mapped". You go to insure the car and the insurer asks you, "has the car had any modifications" and you answer no, as you would... 2 months later you have a crash and your car is checked. it's found out to be "mapped". This therefore on paper means you are not insured How many people must this happen to, or are they really that strict? I say this because alot of people buying older diesels will not know that there car is mapped if they haven't driven a standard edition previously, heck most people wouldn't realise even if they did drive a standard version of a mapped car on a brief test drive.

Watch out for the Front end is all I say! P Zero Nero's and it just under steers all day long in the wet, need a strut on the front end i think... I had the rear jabba added and it made the rear super solid.... now it dives into corners but the back stays solid and pushes the front end out :'(
