Whats a mac mini, come to think of it - whats a mac?

sorry that prob wasn't very pc (!) of me.

If you want a fast car get a turbo they can be easily and cheaply modded up to about 170hp. The 2.Oi is fast but not awesome, i've never tried a 1.7i

Read the buyers guide on the main site print it off take it with you haggle them down.

I never got the Turbo and I wish every week i did....

Magnatec, 10w40. Remember to buy and fit a new washer for the sump plug. They have to be replaced every time.

Yeah they look nice. Rust is the arch-enemy (!) of the 480 owner.

Engine oil. Cover them in engine oil (clean) wipe it on with kitchen towl. Looks fantastic and lasts untill you go near dust or dirt or drive the car anywhere - naah its allright for a week or two, and being a red 2.0i owner I am always topping up the oil. That's what i do but then again i fixed my ...

I had often hear tales about fitting stereo's killing CEM/Speedo! I think I will check mine tomorrow. Glad yours is sorted.

Hey guys I also have a red dipper. The engine needs roughly as much oil as petrol. It loves it - and the expensive stuff too. When the oil gets changed there is a washer that needs to be renewed everytime on the sump plug. If not done will leak oil slowly as well as it burning it. englemere - get us...

Open the bonet, on the battery side of the car stand close to the open bonnet with yer legs pressing on the wing above the wheel, reach down into engine bay, to the left of your hand is a large rounded thing bolted to the engine (starter M?) to the right of yer hand is a driveshaft looking thing tha...

HI had the same, info centre would display chinese txt. Get yerself a can of electrical contact cleaner, some wire wool and a soldering kit - who knows what might be wrong with a scrappy's one? I re-soldered all the connections on the big green board behind the dash, sandpapered and then cleaned wit...

After much fiddling with the dash, i went in the engine bay and pressed tightly together every connection I could find under bon...

Yeah!! Go Go Gadjet 2.0i !! I will help in any way i can. If you need any computers fixing then let me know! I'm sure there would be about a million 2.oi owners who would be very happy to conrtibute fiscally to any workable, easy mod for our cars. If I only had the time....., the equiptment, or a cl...

There's plenty of posts around about the lack of tuning for the 2.0i engine. Its a bit depressing..

Use very high octane fuel. I think that the east of england has a tesco 99 ron? Re-set the ecu and then drive it like a mentalist. The ecu will learn you are evil and will give you a bit more poke. Pipe some cold air into a performance air filter, change the spark plugs and leads for new ones (i ass...

spare parts. And an alsation on a chain.


Stuff like that.

It looks smart mate!

I like the Frog too.


Congrats on 100th Post!

Oh yeah this guy


He tried to sell me the full leather from it with massive dents in the leather, he sent tiny low res pictures of it to mask it, and was very difficult to get a straight answer out of.
