Hi Guys, Was after some help after the steering going loose and making some clunking on my ep3 i realised some of the bolts that fix the track rod carrier to the steering rack had worked themselves loose. Just to make things interesting whoever has previously had a go at it has rounded the...

Yeah from what i have been reading sounds like quite a common fault. Like you say i think the lasers burn out or the lens get filthy. Found a guy who refurbs them who only takes payment when they have been tested so might give him a whirl. I know they are quite dated bits of kit now but i like...

Always wanted a grey premier so when a completely standard one came up locally i had to have it. Drives great, only problem is sat nav not reading disk but hopefully i can sort that.

Hi guys, Just bought another ep3 with the built in sat nav. Unfortunately it says it needs a CD to update the sat nav system. Has any got any experience in doing this or recomend and versions or suppliers?

Hi Guys, To cut a long story short i sold my car last night to a guy last night and around half an hour later i had a phone call saying the engine had died. He got i towed back to my house and it was ceased up solid. Pushed the car up my drive in neutral, when it is in gear it is rock solid...

Hi guys, I am after the top timing chain guide for my k20. Does anyone know anywhere you can get these separately as at the moment all I can find is the kits. Thanks

did these tyres rub when you put them on mate?

Not yet as it drives okay but I think the head will be coming off over the next fortnight, I will keep you posted

Do you think it could just be a tight tappet?

sorry it read misfire in cylinder No 2, yeah i think it will have to come off at the weekend,

i cant remember the exact pressure but it was half of the first cylinder. not burning any oil at all, the engine management light came on and threw up a low compression in cylinder No2 fault code, i then changed all the plugs put some injector cleaner and changed the coil packs around to try...

put oil down the bores and did it again and no change in the compression. Also if there was pressure in the crankcase it would surely throw a oil pressure warning of some sort?

Any body have any experience with valves sticking? i have done a compression test and one cylinder is down on pressure, i know it isnt the piston rings so i can only assume its a valve sticking open. Does anybody know of any ways of treating this as i really don't want to take the head off...

Hi Guys, trying to source the 2 lower gearbox mounts that mount on the subframe, does anybody know any good suppliers? or even just the bushes in them as i can press them in. Many thanks
