Re: HSD Coilovers not fitting?

I have done a deal and I am going to try some MonoPro coilovers.

As these are more expensive, fingers crossed they fit.

Re: HSD Coilovers not fitting?

Re: Overfilled Coolant expansion Bottle

Re: Overfilled Coolant expansion Bottle

Overfilled Coolant expansion Bottle

Hi

I have slightly overfilled my coolant expansion bottle. Will there be any potential problems with this except a bit of coolant maybe escaping through the overflow pipe?

Thanks

Re: HELP...Boot is stuck in Valet mode?

I tried earlier to open it with wd40 and wiggling the key around for about 30mins with no luck.

Any other options?
