  1. Thanks again all. So a quick update. It was the non-return value and once removed the remainder of the pipe was clear. I picked up and fitted a new 6mm item from Halfords and all seems fine. Unfortunately I missed the MOT appointment so will need to reschedule and the cars off the road until I do. Regards, Andy
  2. Thanks all for your responses. Ive dug around and found the first section of pipe from the bottle to what I now assume is the non return vale looks dirty. Beyond this point the pipe appears to be clean/looks clear, so I'm hopeful the valve is the issue. I've also removed the outlet from the the scuttle and it seems fine. So, am I best cleaning or replacing the valve? If I'm best replacing what do I order and where from? Thanks, Andy
  3. Hi all, Typically my car is due it's MOT but having had a quick look around I've found the windscreen washer jets aren't working. There's fluid in the bottle, the pump runs and the outlet ends appear clean. Initially the flow was very weak but having messed around with it it all but dried up. I guessing there must be a blockage somewhere within the pipe. Any advice for getting them working? Is it an easy job that I can do before the imminent test? Thanks in advance, Andy
  4. I must have this wrong, but I thought fitting the Tracsport diff was the option to remove the unfortunate whine from these cars. My 360R has howled like a banshee since new and I've been planning to ditch the Titan in preference for a SPC unit at some point.
  5. I wouldn't recommend a policy underwritten by KGM at all. Inept is probably a good word to describe them based upon my experience.
  6. Thanks guys. It's definitely the live that's failed. I'll use a new length of black cable to replace.
  7. Hi all, The cable to one of the front cycle wing repeaters has broken on my car and need's replacing. The existing cable is black after it exists the stay but I've noted the cable for replacement units seems to be green. So, my question is are the original fitment cables sheathed with heat shrink or are the factory fitted cables black from the outset? I plan to solder in a new length as a replacement but it just seem odd for the exposed wire to be supplied in green. I assume cable is just standard automotive stuff. Thanks in advance, Andy
  8. I carefully prised the glass out, reassembled then stuck the glass back in. I guess I was probably trying to do the same thing as you.....
  9. The inlet doesn't align well on my 360R either. I've always assumed that just the way they are.
  10. Geoff, You said the change in diff performance was miraculous with the Castrol. Please tell me more. My BMW LSD is horrendous (whines like a banshee) so I’m keen to find a way of improving it. cheers Andy
  11. I have the Classic Car. LED’s in the standard units/lens. Whilst the bulbs are brighter I feel the brake and side lights do still get a little lost against my bright red car in daylight. So I’m considering fitting clear lenses in the hope their illumination will standout more.
  12. I too use the Volvo booster in my S3 with leather seats. I tight but fits....
  13. I've always jacked from the towing eye without issue. Yes you do need to take the offside a bit higher to get a stand under the near side rail but it doesn't seem to be a problem. I also need to run the car onto a piece of wood or similar to be able to get a standard jack under the eye.

    It's a Revelation

    Loved it! So many of things you've mentioned I experienced since collecting my car last September and driving nearly 300 miles home from Crawley. Ownership does seem to come with a variety of emotions, most of which can occur at the same time. I'm still not sure what to make of my car, the only thing I do know is that I'm strangely drawn to it for some bizarre illogical reason! Keep on enjoying
