LCR Issues.....Help/Ideas

[CHRIS200]

Hi Guys,

Having a few problems with my LCR. Firstly the battery keeps dying after being parked up for 2 weeks at a time, now this to me is really not normal or right. Any ideas on this??

Also I have a light metallic ratteling sound coming from behind the passangers side dash. It just appeared on day and has not gone away.

I also have not really spent any money on the car on mods, now what do I do first??
I'm thinking strut brace and anti roll bars. Any idea on cost for these??

Cheers
Chris

Battery dying after being stood for 2 weeks is not good, maybe something is sucking the charge, check water levels of battery??
Depends how much money you want to spend on mods if your not sure what to do first, it looks like you already got a remap,one of the very rare 2002 lcr aswell, start doing little mods that dont cost heaps, rear wiper, aeiral, gear knob, tints that sort of thing.

Thats a good idea on the battery. Popped into my loacl Halfords earlier and they did a battery test and it said on the meeter 'Cannot test'!!

Done the rear wiper, aerial and gera knob, just dunno what to do next.

Shortshifter would be my choice what u think?

Do they actually make much of a difference in the drive of the car??

many people on here think so, I had one on order with westec in Wales but they cocked up my order and now I got to wait till the next ship comes in.
My mate has one on his Golf I havent drove it but when he gives it licks it much better quick shifting up the gears, just have to be carefully downshifting.

Ahh fair enough. Might well invest in one then. Defiently goig toet a S3 strut brace from Audi,should elp tighten thefrount end up abit.
