Hey Stanton, I have used them before on the advice of this site and confirm that they are very good. Know there stuff extremely well, very friendly, and good prices. They have a facebook page which is relatively active and they reply to questions quickly. https://www.facebook.com/groups/346040042142118/?fref=ts Just phoned them and have cancelled the alignment but getting gaskets on both sides done, £100 for both which seems pretty good to me. And got the alignment the week after for £72 from Simon Green is Horsforth after many good reviews on pistonheads and other sites. Will report back when done

Well I will look at them, much much cheaper which would be nice for now as I have other things I want to buy....

Is that a full geo?

So it does work off chrome...

Definitely the drivers side, but I also see oil on the driveway on the passenger side so could be both... will have a proper look tomorrow again may have to get them both done, doesn't seem like a hard job but I already have a backlog of parts to put on it and no time!!! 5 days at uni and then working weekends to buy nice things for my car!!! Also got quoted £100 for a full geometry which I thought was decent given Richard Henry's knowledge. Anyone else think this is a good price? Or can I get just as good for less. I know a 4 wheel laser alignment is £50 from some places but not sure if they will be as good.

well the saga continues, am still unable to embed images properly. Using the same codes as I have previously on forums the IMG code from photobucket and the link is coming up but not the photo. Jay762 was kind enough to embed the photo's in my for sale ad (thanks a lot I owe you a pint) but it would be better if I could do it. The first one works as shown below but none of the others work (again using ie on win 8.1) will try chrome in the next post below to see if it is ie. But anyone have any idea what it could be? http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag84/pommy150/Car/IMG_6078_zpse2826dba.jpg

Hey, Up for sale is my Nardi wheel which came with the car, I prefer the standard momo so have replaced this wheel. In good condition, however buyer will have to get a horn push as this wheel never had one. Looking for £50 collected. Also have a kenwood amp which came with the car which I neither want or need. Don't really know much about it so putting it up for £60 but please correct me if I'm wrong (either too much or too little) more photos available upon request. For some reason not able to embed photo's so the link I have put below this is to my photobucket account, obviously find the relative photo in the album (bunch of mx5 stuff up there as well so just ignore) Any questions or information required message me or reply here. Thanks

Seems to be the rocker cover gasket thankfully. Been to Richard Henry and quoted £60 for the replacement. Seems reasonable to me. Would do it myself but just don't have the time at the moment.

Could be the clutch, it does judder on hill starts which I assume pushes towards a clutch issue? Never put the 2 together for some reason though.

Hey, As per title really, can smell something burning after a while of hard acceleration, have checked the coolant and the levels seem good suggesting there isn't a leak, oil level is staying constant and the temp gauge is where it should be and working perfectly (gets hotter with time, and if only left car to go shopping won't be at them bottom when I re-start car.) Any likely sources? Was thinking it could be exhaust burning rear bumper? Recently put a twin exit on and it is closer to the bumper than before. Any ideas would be great Thanks

Car has thankfully been sold now.

You can get torque steer, on sheet ice, under full acceleration and with a little bit of luck

Haha, selling on behalf of my parents, last car of mine was mx-5 with a whopping 115bhp!!! And this version of the panda only has 54bhp, hard to handle that much power!!!

Not a Subaru but my old Fiat Panda 1.2 is for sale on ebay, feel free to pm me on here for any more details. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171222538386?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 Thanks

Seems to be what Gambit said, using win 8 and ie. Thanks mate

I'm not sure where to post this but am unable to paste text when starting a new topic? is there a way around this? anyone else have this problem? Especially annoying when trying to embed photos. thanks

Well I have ordered front pads and discs (came as a deal) so should be fitting them in the next month. Doing exams at the moments so not much time for my car :(

Thinking I will do the front discs and pads and rear pads at the moment, and then in the future do the rest, money permitting.

Thanks mate, hadn't been able to find a guide for the gearbox but seems pretty simple.

I have 4 pot calipers up front and was wondering if drilled and grooved discs make that much difference on a road car? Has standard discs in good condition at the moment. Will upgrade pads but not sure about discs. And the same with the rear Ta

So just planning my first service of my 2000 year turbo 2000, just a few questions. Firstly which ht leads are the ones to get? And where is the Oil filter located? From what I've found it is above the drain plug and you reach it from under the car. Is that right? And with the gearbox and oil what is the best oil to use? And are the drain plugs on the diff and gearbox just above half way up? Thanks Sean

From what I have read about alarms it depends on the alarm you have. My alarm doesn't arm for 30 secs after locking door so can leave it running for 30 secs and still have the alarm. I know some peoples alarms just don't work if the engine is running. What I'm trying to say is I believe it depends on the alarm. Although I'm sure if you went to see or called Richard Henry in Bradford they would know, good little place they have, lots of interesting car there and very knowledgeable and friendly.

Thanks for that. Was having a quick look while doing my clock spring and couldn't find any guides pertaining to the same model year as mine. Aand didn't really fancy pulling out some connections.

Oh and car is an Impreza turbo 2000, 200 model year
