Got back off holiday yesterday and just drove the car, suddenly gears went loose. Can't get 1st, it's going into 3rd, can't get 4th but no 5th or reverse. Took into a garage and he had a look under it and fiddled around. He said it is not he linkages and he thinks a pin inside the box or...

Hi guys, Going away soon, so don't have time to take my car to the garage at the moment, so looking for some pointers. Yesterday I took the car out and tried to change into 4th gear but it wouldnt go in, it was really hard and if I tried to partially slot it in, it would make a grinding...

What diesel did you buy?

Cool. Never used 95 RON, but fuel is getting so expensive now :( When I calculated the running costs of the EK9 and a diesel, there was nothing in it, due to the price of diesel now! If I was going to sell up to save money, it would have to be a low powered turbo diesel of something...

I have always run V-Power. Anyone running 95 RON here? I believe it can cause pinging and decrease over all performance?

Yes, definately. PM sent.

Can't believe the quote I am getting. Put a quote through on confused.com for a Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD and they are coming back over £1,000 :\ Double what it is to insure my import modified car which is valued at more money! Would companys like Adrian Flux be better or they only for...

Thanks for the suggestions. Will look into MK5 Golfs..seem like the best best so far. Would prefer an Audi A3 but need to look at insurance a bit more. Dunno about the Focus, though. Still wanna roll in style if i can't have a sporty car lol Hmm..saw an Alfa 147 that looked nice. Will...

Hi guys, Due to a change in personal circumstance, I think I really need to put my smart hat on and get rid of the EK9. Definately something I do not want to do, I love the car..especially with the B18C conversion, but I think it has to be done. So..to save some dosh, I am looking for...

That how it sounds to me now..like I have a wheel bearing gone! Only seems to be coming from the rears though..or sounds like that?

Hi guys, I hear a loud whirring noise coming from the rear of my car once I get to about 50mph and over. First of all I thought it was a wheel bearing or something....turns one was shot, which has been changed. However I noticed some noise still there. I've had a garage look at the car and...

Ahh man, thats too bad. Never realised you were under 25. I phoned BrentAcre for a quote today too and they were very competitive.

Greenlight are cool. They charged me nothing for B18C swap. Just £15 admin fee.

Unless you have a reputable builder who knows what the hell he is doing I'd stay away from the B20 conversion. Very unreliable if not done right (from my research) :)

They sell inlet and TB gaskets but not the TPS gasket by itself. A Google search appears to have confirmed this also. Guess I'll have to make one. Well gonna make a gasket tonight and change the voltage to what it should be. Reset the ECU and driven for a day and the issue it still there...
