    missing radio fuse

    Hi folks, I recently bought a Sony car radio (CDX700) of a mate, on the understanding that he would fit it and get it working. This he has done. However we can't seem to manage to get the radio to save any time or settings. Before you say anything, I know its to do with the red and yellow...

    coolant warning light

    I had it come on this morning coming home from the gym. No symptoms whatsoever, just the light. I've booked it in for Monday. I assume it's just the Coolant Temperature Sensor. Hopefully it will be a painless easy fix.

    steering rack bolts loose again

    MF said these were loose at the last service 4k ago. I had a knocking through the steering when stationary. This is becoming a PITA. That's without the seat mechanism not working properly. Anyone else had this? My bro said there is a similar problem with elises. Either use thread locking...

    loudest exhaust for the T?

    The yozzasport one is nice. The Orb promised much, but I have to say I was underwelmed with what I heard. Is custom the best option? Any thoughts?

    Toyo R-1R's

    Not a thread about "Are they any good or Where can I get them". I have just fitted two to the rears of my T. Initial thoughts are that they are better than the v70's in the wet and will wear better too. Obviously better than the PE2's as far as grip is concerned. Will check how they wear on the...

    recaro's tilting but not sliding

    As above, I can slide the seat back and forth with the front lever. But if I try to tilt and slide to get in the back, it tilts but doesn't slide. Can I fix this or does something need to be replaced?

    Khumo V70A Update

    Ok, there's good news and bad news. I'll start with the good, so I can delay the inevitable lol. I LOVE these tyres. I fitted them at the beginning of December. I've used them through snow, ice, rain, you name it. They start well from cold for a track tyre. A bit of wheel spin in snow and ice...

    solid engine mounts

    Does anyone have them? I'm not just refering to the strut top ones, I mean the rest that hold up the engine and gearbox. Mark Fish ones would be preferable, but not essential. I'm really wanting these so would like the opinion of someone that has them, potentially to see and feel it in their car...

    a noise coming from the steering

    Ok, I know my front camber and toe is out, as i had the dampers done. I haven't got round to doing it yet due to snow etc. I have noticed a knock while steering. It happens when you turn the steering wheel while stationary, or during low speed manouvering. Its not always in the same position of...

    Trophy rear seats

    I folded the rear seats down today to get my brother's road bike i the rear of the T and noticed that there is a zip at the rear of the back rest of the seat. It is opposite the big metal bar at the back of the boot. I'm thinking that the cover must come off rather simply. Getting it back on...

    booked dampers in at BG Motorsport

    Thy hallowed day will be Thursday 19th November. He will be removing and refitting too. Apparently the quickest turn around he can do is the following afternoon, as he has to spray loctite over it and let it sit overnight. I'm having new adjusters too, as when the pin is removed, the shaft the...

    Rear dampers

    I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

    Electric windows

    My electric windows make a worrying noise, as they reach the top of their travel. It sounds like the glass hitting the door, maybe they are out of alignment and are being pushed too far. Sometimes when I go over a bump I can here the noise again. It sounds like the window's about to break. Any...

    Another Exhaust noise!

    Ok, I think this is a different one. Mine sounds fine until you go over the magic 3K rpm mark. Then as the engine revs go down towards 3k (decelerate) the exhausts rattles and moans alot. It stops at the 3K point on the way down too. The extra vibrations from this can be felt though the gear...

    Trophy Damper settings

    I recently saw a few people on here saying that, now the weather is warmer, they have adjusted their dampers to a stiffer setting. I was puzzled by this. Well, maybe sceptical is the word. I could see that it would improve the T's handling, but I thought that it would feel harsh and be a...
