MOT time is looming again and I want to get a cat instead of having to borrow one for the MOT again. Does anyone know where is best/cheapest place to get one ...

Hello, I want to change the clear plastic cover which sits in front of the speedo, rev counter etc on the dash as the one in place now is really scratched. Mr T quotes the part at £16 and in order to avoid a nasty bill for labour at Mr T prices I am thinking of changing it myself. My question is has...

Hello, I've had a Blue Flame exhaust for about nine months and what was once all nice and shiney is now horrible and dull. Any ideas as to how or what I can clean it with to make it look decent again.

[Mk2] [NA] Cat needed, MOT fail on Co2 emissions

Hello, my Rev 4 NA has a blue flame exhaust and de-cat pipe on it. It failed its MOT on Co2 emissions yesterday and I don't have the old cat, it had to be cut off when fitting the new exhaust as it was rusted on, so I don't have a cat to fit for the re-test. Does anyone have a cat I could lend for t...

[Mk2] [Generic] What have I melted?

I've made a bungle. I was de-badging the boot, getting rid of the two stuck on badges by firstly warming them up with a hair dryer as mentioned in a few posts I read when searching for instructions on how to de-badge. The toyota one came off fine. I warmed up the 2.0GT-i badge on the offside only to...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Replacing the gearbox oil, how much oil to fill the box?

Thanks for the that. I will use those instructions when I do the box oil change at the weekend. The handbook states box capacity is only 2.6 litres but everywhere else people who've done the oil change are saying around 4 litres. I'll go with those who've actually done the change. Thanks again.

[Mk2] [Generic] Which spark plugs to buy?

Hi, I have a Rev 4 NA with 79k on the clock. It has a blueflame exhuast and de-cat pipe and an Apexi induction kit, no further mods planned. Does anyone know whether the iridium plugs are worth the extra cash or should I stick with the platinum ones.

Thanks.
