You could always ask in the wanted section I know of at least one person who has a space saver for sale

If you open the flap from the bottom front of the label there is a visual indicator showing the ratio of solution to water in relation to the °C protection, It shows a picture of the container with a pictoral image of water drops to indicate ratio. Hope this helps

nice one, good job I was in the vRS

Driving back from the NEC classic car show tday, south bound on the M6 I was driving past a column of approx. 20 Imprezzas who were in the middle lane when the traffic started to slow down, next thing there are a load of Imprezzas steaming up the middle lane & then forcing thier way into the outside lane causing people to brake sharply in order to prevent an accident, what a bunch of to**ers, I dont know from where they came from except that they headed south on the M1. This behaviour is why there is a concern from various police forces regarding cruises and the growing call to ban them. Rant over.

I have used noisekiller in the boot & spare wheel well, the amount used was approx. 80% of what they call a sheet, & the cost was £65 including delivery. The difference in the passenger cell of the car was an overall reduction from 5 decibels at 70 mph, in reality what this meant was that the rear seat passengers can hear conversation from people in the front seats easier. There was also a reduction in lower frequency "boom". The insulation was 3mm thick which meant that it did not interfer with the fit of existing interior mats, side panels etc. A easy job to do which took me about 1.5 hours one evening.

Yes it "whistles" when stationary at tick-over, however having been out in the car this morning it did not whistle from initial start -up, but did whistle from start-up when warm, could'nt tell if & when the whistle started as I had taken my own advice & had the stereo on

Hi Folks, I hope that knowledgable guru's on here can help with a irritating noise coming from the engine compartment of our petrol vRS. The noise is a constant whistle, audible within the car, windows shut, from idle all the way through the rev range, during which the pitch & volume do not appear to alter significantly. We've only had the car a month so still getting used to its various foibels, As I only drive the car occasionally, ( it is SWMBO's daily drive) I cannot comment on how long this noise has been there other than 2 weeks that I know of. Apart from the standard "turn the stereo on" I thought that people on this forum would know if this noise was standard or if we need to say hello to our dealer. On a brighter note that car is fulfilling all our expectations, comparing it to the Clio 172 that we previously had, it is quieter, ride is better, seats as comfortable, handling less sharp but not drastically so, the stereo is better, fuel consumption about the same, and oh yes the boot is bigger.

Yep that was I, will see you at the S & D later today :yes:

Octy, petrol, race blue, xenons, rear sensors. The car has been driven to Eastbourne today and has averaged 42.8 mpg apparently, not bad as it was driven to the speed limits.

Hi, having now picked up our vRS I should be ok for Sunday, however it is likely to be a fleeting visit as swmbo has filled my schedule in for the afternoon

Many Thanks, I have used this in conjunction with the list from ChrisRS

From my original post, Bristos have been fine, in particular Robert Moore one of the sales guys. The vRS on the sales court is a customers car that Bristos are selling, the owner went from a Lexus LS400 to the vRS, he found the ride too hard for him! I understand that the gentleman was substantially over 21

I am about 1.5 miles from s&d and was intending to pop in just have to convince swmbo

Many thanks for the list I have used this inconjunction with the pdf file from wardth

At long last we can collect our vrs, its been a long wait (ordered 16th Jan). The dealers, Bristos Ipswich, and in particular the salesman Robert Moore, have been very good at keeping us informed regarding build date, delivery date, when in transit, delivered etc. Therefore sometime after midday we should be whizzing around in a Race Blue shiney machine

According to the vehicle data on the inside cover of my service scehdule book (from the car that I cant have yet) the engine is a CCZA type

Lucky man, ours was at the dealer last week , however we have to wait to have a number plate transfer :( . Still after waiting since 16th Jan, a few more days is bearable....just

the build was week 11 (week ending 19th March)

The wait is almost over, the dealer emailed me today to say the the car is on a boat and should here at the end of this week, beginning of next week. In contrast to many people on here the dealer (Bristos Ipswich) have emailed me or phoned me every 2 weeks and has been very helpful with additional items added to the factory order, and no its not because I paid full price, when we ordred the car a deal was negotiated that was very close to dtd price. Its going to be a long few days

When fitting the Fiscon unit is recoding required to integrate with Bolero & maxidot?

Screwfix do 50 blue mfb for £19-99 ish, unsure of the quality though.

Sorry to partially hijack this thread Carl, but is the sequence shown similar for installation of the fiscon mic. Thanks Kev

The quote we have from Sheilas Wheels, for a new Octy vRS with 300 excess, many years ncb, 8000 mpa, with SO as the main driver (well it will be her car) , we are both wrinkleys £177-50

Is this the reason for the much hyped weight saving of the fl to the pre fl
