    Torque-problems at Low RPM (2300-2500rpm)

    It will almost definitely be the exhaust. Sometimes a new maf sensor helps (if yours is knackered) but usually it's the extra exhaust flow making and less back pressure I put a centre silencer back in mine and it went away completely A good map is probably needed for exhaust mods

    Mine was hanging out my arch recently and I assumed it was some random shitr that had got stuck in there during some of the flooded roads we got with the snow . Now I know it but can't see me sticking it back in

    Brake pipes/hoses

    Well I've worked out that the 4 hose kit only replaces the short body to beam hoses on the rear. What's the point ? Still have rubber hoses at caliper end ? Does no one make a 4 hose kit that goes straight from the solid line to the caliper ? So with a female din end and a male din end ...

    200 cup front door/wing damage

    I'd be making a complaint and going to the ombudsman about the value they're offering. Where are they finding undamaged 200 cups for that price ? I'm sure there might be a couple but it's far from an average value. I was lucky when my MK2 golf got wrote off as they offered quite a bit more...

    Subframe stiffener bolts/nuts

    Anyone in a predicament who finds this post I removed the nut from the wishbone and pushed the bolt in a bit but not right through. This allowed me to get my finger in and tease this bastard bracket back into the hole Fun fun fun

    Radiator Support

    With the price of the soon to go rusty replacements it's pretty tempting to make/bodge one ! Need to get mine off again and have a look and measure
