Wotcha and welcome

I like two and three but not on the same car

Thats worth snapping up at that price - might be worth putting that in the parts for sale section under its own thread

Hi James - yes pictures would be good and an idea of expected price

as I understand it the top mounts for the fronts at least changed with the sharkeye models and they have a different part number from 2010 onwards as well from the 2008 -10 models - couldnt tell you about the rears as I didnt get to check them

Miggs mentioned that there are so many good products out there it will come down to personal choice as to what you like using - but dont let all of this good advice put you off doing the right thing by your motor there Pete :D The drying with microfibre cloths is a good tip better than a chamois or a blade and the Dodo wax is good stuff so dont forget the before and after shots Salsa King and a couple of others have set a high benchmark already

that will be near as dammit - might be the odd hose which has gone a bit brittle and cant take it but that can be sorted quite easily

they may feel slow but check you speedo as they can be deceptive at high speed - you dont realise just how quick you are actually going

:lol:

For peace of mind Id go to a performance parts supplier - not necessarily get 2.5gees worth of HKS triple plate but something branded which the company supplying will stand by - not used them but Exedy appear to be popular

That DA is the type of thing Miggs recommended to me when we were chatting - if you are going to wax I dont know as you need the gloss protection also if you are looking at the DA you could look at some poorboys swirl remover prior to the polish, this would have a different waffle pad to the wax applicator / buffer Actually I think poor boys do a SSR which sorts the polish layer as well... here you go http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111107311549?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

great to hear you have it sorted ;)

you're just too good - I should have checked - I use the view new content button all the time

nice one - more stealth

Is it worth sticking this??

as modern diesels have cats as well if the rest of the engine is in good nick you wont be throwing out high emissions

If the DPF is the show stopper but you really want the rest of the package get an ECU mod and remove it completely??

Thats the way to do it - steady away and you will soon get the hang of it, too much too early could end in a hedge ;)

echo Bitman that's the simplest approach as you will probably be able to get a harness adapter for the centre console unit so no messing about with connectors, soldering and heat shrink

dependant on how you go with the tyres it may get worse - skinny hard tyres = low grip but low rolling resistance / friction so less power needed to move that means higher MPG super sticky wide tyres means high grip, great performance but lower mpg as it takes more power to deal with the increase friction

yes - !Removed! frustrating that is - I use T bar sockets on them most of the time to try and avoid that

yup jubilees dont seem to be as robust as they did years ago, metal seems softer so you cant get them screwed up as tight

front shocks and diff still look like a heater unit to me??
