il lend you my 2 cents worth them. i own both. mgf isn't just a backwards metro in a pretty frock, it is actually a sporty drive and this is nearly all to do with the mid engined rwd configuration.performance-wise they aren't a patch on a 220 turbo, surprisingly heavy cars the mgf's but that said th...

uv got no choice really , unless you can get to that lone bolt in between the dash and door card. your gona kill the lock + motor too sadly (to be fair its already dead) and they aint cheap. one long winded option would be to take the wing off and try and free the door hinges. of course the catch wi...

mine done this on the driver's side, c/locking makes a loud clicking and the door pin pops up and straight down never unlocking the door (and you cant force it to stay up) i had a very destructive solution and it wasn't pretty! i dremeled an access port through the door card. with a long chisel/scre...

Well the issue seems to be that the fan isnt cutting in AT ALL! if the engine fan is not cutting in, the cabin heater still blows constant hot air and if it's drinking a lot of fuel it might suggest a duff CTS. unplug the connector (brown - tho they vary in colour depending on model/year) and start...

right yes the zips both extracted without any errors. The version of acrobat reader i have on my computer is 6.0.1. but doesn't want to play ball with the RAVE pdf files.

Yes, what Johnny said. Unless your old enough to have an 'any car' policy you have to take out a seperate for additional vehicles. And your NCB entitlement can only be used unilaterally on a nominated policy. i.e. if you have 3 years NCB and 2 policies you cant claim to have 3 years NCB on both poli...

does all the hard work for you

like kelkoo, but imo faster and easier to use

Bubble Turbo

would make sense, rear end impact, swappin to another coupe would involve less work but would cover the same ground(apart from wiring), breaking the car (and eventually donar) will pay some of the way to a mk3/R25... and you could sell me that interior on another note, nasty impact..trust your ok?

Thats Tony's motor , founder of the Roversportsclub, its his old car (tho he still has it and his mum drives it now

Bubble Turbo

I might be able to help but cant promise cos my cars in pieces too at the mo

Yes..definately raise my eyebrows too. The cup itself is loose on the strut. all that holds it, the tension of the spring, the weight and forces acting on the car is that lip of metal.
