  1. Drilled airbox and interesting results

    After reading some of the threads about drilled airboxes, and having enjoyed the sound (but not the the heat) of my Vectra's 57i kit, I thought I'd have a go at the Toledo's box. Removing it was easy, two screws and out it comes. After seeing where the filter came to on the lower box, I...

  4. 'Interesting' noises on startup after unexpected swimming

    Interesting........

    I have for a while now played down what people have said on this forum about MPG.

I then put £10 back in the tank...

    Interesting LCR facts....

    Add if you please, there might be a couple that people dont know about! 1. Everyone does know about the folding mirrors, yes? Turn the knob to the 6 position and the mirrors will fold in. (I personally never realised until a couple of months down the line :redface: :blink: ) 2. The car...
