Can you see any negative impact it would have on the engine given my style of driving? It's driven "hard" for the road but certainly nothing like what you may see on track.

What did your specialists give as the reason to use it?

Hi, 2005 EP3. I know there are a few threads on oil and what kind go use but I still haven't found ant conclusive evidence on whether 10w60 is a reasonable oil to use. When I bought my EP3 the oil in it was 10w60. Ive done two oil changes in 10k kms and I've always topped up the oil...

Oh yeah it's definitely a LHD-only thing.

Yep, exactly like that. I need the full heater controls and the thing they are connected to. The unit on mine has the mounting eyelet things broken where the linkage connects to which makes the linkage not connect properly and pop off. It also makes it very hard to turn the temperature dial...

Hi, I'm looking for the heater controls for an EUDM EP3. Annoyingly, the UKDM controls are different and there are loads on ebay/local equivalent. I'm looking for the controls along with the hardware which the AC linkage connects to. Will buy a whole unit if someone is selling that for a...

Not recently. You may be right though, not going to argue that there may be something that could be swapped out to improve. I'll have a look and see.

Not going to lie. While I love my ep3 i wouldn't agree with it being a plush soft drive. Depends on the roads near you. Here in Poland where they spend the bare minimum on repairs the ep3 sometimes has issues with ride quality. It also has an issue with tram lining on divets

Will do buddy

I've had the brakes bled again and no change. It seems to happen more when cold. I've noticed when even setting off from a cold start and turning the wheel it does it. It could be a sensor, it could be the pump. We're gonna try swapping the pump out for a known-good one and go from there.

Looks fine from the pictures. No engine bay shot (unless I am being dense). Seriously though, looking at pictures on autotrader is pretty worthless imho. You can just about see that yes 1) it is a car and 2) yes it kind of looks like the car you're after. If you want something, look at...

I think I was lucky. I managed to find a relatively unmolested EP3 that only had the CAI modified. I'm quite proud of how little it is modified. Plan on keeping it that way.

Since I just had my brakes changed and the brake fluid changed/flushed I think there may be air in the ABS module. I've taken it to my mechanic and he agrees that could be a useful first step. We'll bleed the brakes fully and if that doesn't help, replace the ABS module.

How does insurance with you differ? Asking for my brother because he's in purgatory waiting to get something faster. He's just paid 1200 for a 1.3 classic mini. Takes the ****.

Those alloys look like they've been shittily painted. An easy refurb for a DIY minded person. Flywheel is a whole nother thing. That's entirely up to you. Gotta ask why they changed the flywheel with no other modifications. Here's some anecdotal evidence: my brother had a guy do work on his...
