    LED's - Where are we?

    Are there any options to improve the lights? Didn't the exec's have xenon headlight units?

    LED's - Where are we?

    Interesting, thanks. I wasn't aware of that. Is that just for the halogen headlights, or all external lights around the car?

    LED's - Where are we?

    J4JAV - "Last seen Oct 15 2019". In his stickied thread he talks about dipped beam LEDs maybe coming in the future. Main beam seemed to be a problem due to the flashing ability being impaired. He started that thread nigh-on 10 years ago now with no update for nearly 5 years. For dipped beam...

    Clips / Rivets

    Those little black thingy-me-bobs: I went to the dealership and asked for a pack of 5 of them to fasten my wheel arch lining back on, and my air intake cover. What they've given me doesn't fit as it's too big for the hole (that's what she said). I have one here with me and measure the closed...

    Battery conversion - 2.4 Type-S

    I decided to go back to a smaller battery. I removed the old larger battery and fitted this one. Fits perfectly in the tray. Car seems to have no complaints so far.

    Battery conversion - 2.4 Type-S

    Not long after buying my Type-S in 2015, I had issues with the battery running flat. I swapped it out for a Bosch S4008 (74ah / 680cca / Type 096). I've had absolutely no problems since. However, to get the bigger battery in, I had to remove the battery box, cover, and J-hooks. It's completely...

    Gears hard to engage

    Just wanted to update for sake of prosperity... Took it into a garage in summer 2022. They found clutch ***embly was coming away from the chassis, so they (crudely) welded it back on. By last winter the weld had given up the ghost. I gave up and took the car into my local dealership. They...

    Gears hard to engage

    Within last several days I've notice 1st and 2nd gears are particularly notch-y and difficult to engage. I'm literally having to force the gear stick to go home by strong-arming it into position. Reverse gear is also hard to get the gear stick out of. I'm having to fully press down the clutch...

    Air con not working

    I had this recently happen to me. Took it to an A/C specialist and it turns out the condensor was scrap. Easy fix (albeit pricey).

    Fuel/Air mix trouble code - 'System too lean [P0171]'

    I had it welded last year by a garage, but the sound has come back. I live in a flat without a garage so I don't have the facilities myself. I intend to put it back into an exhaust specialist soon.

    Fuel/Air mix trouble code - 'System too lean [P0171]'

    Thanks. Is it worth just having a garage replace the lambda sensor then, or is there a way to test it?

    Fuel/Air mix trouble code - 'System too lean [P0171]'

    My car is a 2.4L Type-S (2003). The MPG has noticeably went downhill over the past couple of months and power delivery not 100%. I had the check engine light show up and got this code. Seems like there's too much air in the fuel mix. Took it to a local independent garage and despite it being...

    A/C faulty

    Car has been sat during pandemic. Finally got it back on the road after replacing brake discs. First thing I noticed was that the A/C is not working. The clutch wheel is not spinning when A/C is engaged. I've tested the relay's in the fusebox, they're fine. What's my next step? (treat me...

    7th Gen CD and SAT Nav replacement Android Option

    These Chinese units get bad reviews, as they apparently go faulty very quickly which seems like such a shame because they provide a great universal solution. I'd love to see somebody try this unit and review it. Maybe they're improving over time.
