Check all you HT leads. Make sure there are no splits/cracks in them where they could arc

Driving the T the other morning to work, my brakes failed and my engine started idling at 2000RPM! Turned out my exhaust manifold had managed to melt through the brake servo hose :eek:. Just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse, on the way home stopping using just my handbrake my...

Hi all, Was driving the T on Friday afternoon and all of a sudden my brake pedal became very hard and stopped working. I found the problem to be a melted vacuum hose that runs from back of inlet manifold and past the exhaust manifold. The heat from the manifold had melted my hose and caused it...

Cheers for the info ! That is very handy to know. I think I will replace it however just at the moment I am not definitely sure it is on the way out but I am pretty sure it is. I will keep a close eye on it. The belts, tensioner and pulleys where all changed about 100 miles ago so no need for...

Hi all, I think my alternator is on the way out... I have a strange whining noise at around 2K RPM and when I stopped and popped the bonnet I found that my alternator was very hot! To hot to touch, is this normal? Secondly, should there be a cover/guard at the front of the alternator to stop...

fpan, The final outcome was a cracked gearbox housing and broken clutch. What happened was the gearbox and clutch blew, this in turn cracked the gearbox housing which leaked transmission fluid straight onto the CAT and exhaust. This caused a large amount of smoking from the burning oil on the...

Okay cheers for that Claude.

Firstly... I am not sure I need a new gearbox however there is oil leaking from the bottom of it quite bad when the clutch release bearing went bang ... If I do require a new gearbox I understand there are different types ? If so how many different types are there and how do I find the correct...

I test drove my mates car today (182 cup) that i am thinking of buying to fix and sell. It started and idled fine. The problem came when I took it for a drive. There was an immediate whining noise as I pulled off in both 1s and 2nd gear and gears where hard to engage. When I can to reverse the...

My mates 182 Cup has been off the road now for around 6 months due to noticing white spoke coming from the exhausts. I have offered him a grand for it to which he accepted however will not pay until I have seen engine condition this friday. Sounds to me like head gasket may have gone. The story...

Spray it Pink then it can't go pink in the sun ... Savvy

From reading this looks like ill be leaving them as standard. If there was anyway that lowering the T slightly could mess up handling etc. I was not going to do it. So therefore my springs are staying aha Cheers again

Hi all, I am looking to lower my T as it sits far to high at the rear and intern the side skirts do not sit level with the floor. I have my car booked into K-tec for three weeks time so will get them to sort it out but I need to know what are the best springs and how low to go. I would like...

Creaking of the clutch pedal starts when the engine bay temperatures are high. Whenever I am caught in traffic on the m25 on a warm day it isn't long until the clutch pedal becomes real jolty and creaky.

Hey guys ! I have just come back from there and I can say they are all very helpful and a really nice. I have order the KTR ultra performance with centre silencer to keep noise down. He advised me the standard CAT is very good and I'm best to keep it. I have also ordered the KTR induction kit...

Thanks for the help guys ! Currently on route to K-tec now. I may see what they think about de-cat. I also need to get an induction system sorted to as my acoustic valve broke about a year ago. Is it the JMS manifold that's good ? Or should I just go with a panel filter and get my acoustic valve...

What do we all think about KTR exhaust with middle box to reduce noise. They also say you can get a sports CAT. Is this good ? Or should I just scrap the CAT completely ? Thinking about visiting K-Tec some time in the next 3 days

Thanks for the input guys ! I have budgeted around the £1000 mark for the new system. Scorpion rs192 sounds the better option ATM. I think decat would be good however how much of a pain is this when it comes to MOT ? I'm down in Bournemouth this week so may pop into K-tec and speak with them, is...
