Well following on from my previous thread about the engine not running as it should, i have decided to go down the new engine route. It is a 2000 X 1.4 8V (Engine Code - AKK iirc) currently. I am looking for a replacement engine for it, but need advice before looking for what i can get...

Car's been lowered a while now and I haven't thought much of it, but the last 3 weeks the steering seems to have got heavier and the car has lowered more. Is this natural bedding in?

hi, i have recenty lowered my 1.4 ibiza with cupra shocks and lowered springs, i bought them together from a friend who also fitted them for me, the ride feels very good considering its on springs, doesnt bounce, doesnt bodyroll round corners, the only problem is i would like the car...

Hey all, Just put a deposit down on a 55 plate LCR but had a few queries (easy ones I think!) Under the cigarette lighter area is a large blue connector, what is this for? Looks like some sort of ISO connector? How easy is it to fit cruise control, and where can I get it done, cost...

Have had my 2.0TDI DSG for a week now. Impressed so far although the interior fit/finish/trim/quality and hifi isn't a patch on my Alfa 166. Surprising for a car that is 8 years newer in design. I paticularly notice how tinny/hollow the doors are/sound on opening/closing. Few queries...

:confused: Big Turbo - servicing and exhaust? A few queries: Here goes...I'm saving either for IanB's Awesome Stage III or JBS' IHI hybrid. First of all servicing - if I'm doing 10k a year with no track use couldn't I just change the oil, plugs and filter every year or is there more...

Ok In general I'm happy with the engine. It pulls smoothly and quickly and sounds good. However the ride is uncertain at best at high speeds on Country roads. I took it for a blast yesterday evening in Warwickshire, between Coventry, Nuneaton and Rugby. Now these roads aren't perfect and...

I’ve gone for the bi-xenon option on my new FR after seeing the light :lol: with a non xenon and xenon headlight comparison on the golf gti forum. Anyway the question I have is does the xenon work on main beam as well as dipped and are the sidelights uprated as well as I’ve seen some cars with...

Have had the car since end July 06 and like it very much. Has only done 3800 (mainly local) miles. 1. When checking the oil level I see white sludge ('mayonnaise', I've heard it called) in the filler cap. I know the mainly local driving can contribute to this sort of problem - but I do give it...
