the oil cooler leaking do you mean? the coolant is fine no oil/water mixing, I just changed the coolant after loosing most of it through the temp senosr Yeah the oil cooler rots on the inside letting the water & oil mix but if you water is clear you can rule that out too, 2l every few hundred m...

I can not find a leak i have been under the car for half an hour with it ticking over it must be burning it

still using oil not sure weather to get rid of the car i have the option of my parents 3year old Agilla!

is the turbo a big/expensive job?

I cant see what else it could be

I have the same poxy noise on my 1.8T estate cant locate the noise either i know the front snub mount is shot but I dont think that is the source of the noise

just cut the side off, I did mine years ago never thought about in since

i think i have one of these in the garage somewhere too

it aint cheap though!

I have this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hand-Held-Bra ... xydlFSuVvP

great for bleeding the clutch or brakes but no good really for doing a change

I hate those easiebleed things that use the spare wheel!

I would rather use my hand vacuum pump.

I may invest in a bigger one that u pump up and leave the pressure in it though

the kind that sucks you mean?

what is the quickest and easiest way to do this at home on my drive I did my 4x4 last month and the car is now 14 years old with the original brake fluid so it needs changing

ha HA

nice i should have mine by friday too

my mate just brought one with 130K on it for 1K too nice auto in green estate

cheers,

went for these

99p for the clips from china that aint bad! better than cutting the cables,

I might as well get the hid kit from china too if it saves some money they are mostly made there anyway.

Anything to avoid? and metal based bulbs

As above a H7 HID kit is the best way to improve the headlights. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xenon-HID-Conversion-KIT-H7-4300K-Digital-Mini-Ballasts-Metal-base-HID-bulbs-/331046666030? There are plenty of others on Ebay. You can get a Kit for less than £20. Personally I wouldn't go for anything more...

the clamp on one actually requires the exhaust to be cut either side of the spigot joint to fit it that is why it is longer

I will measure to be sure to be sure, yes a weld in one is no problem get to try my new to me mig out on the car then! The clamp on ones looked too long anyway

well £12 aint bad is that the correct size? or shall I measure later to be sure.

thanks toon thats too expensive when the flexis can be had for £10-£15

depending on size
