Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, it's been a very sombre evenng looking at that empty space on the drive.

Haven't noticed any difference to be honest, infact it feels a litte better.

I thought I would share this for people with similar problems in the future. My facelift DC5 failed it's MOT on Friday on emissions , The car is modified with a Kpro, different inlet manifold and also running the mugen race header and race cat. It had passed the MOT on emissions every year...

Thanks for the advice, the car passed its retest. I did buy some new HEL brake lines. (I now have 3 spare) I requested the part number and confirmed it was the correct part number. I also pointed out I doubted the Goodridge braided hose was leaking and would like to see the faultly one. Reason...

Took the car for its MOT today and they called to say it had failed on the front flexi hose as it was leaking. I had Goodridge stainless steel brake lines fitted about 5 years ago . The mechanic (Honda main dealer) said it was the front drivers side rubber flexi hose that had failed that...

I used a company called chassis clean near Manchester airport way. I droped it off as I was going on holiday and picked it up on my way home a week later. it was on a farm in rural location, he specialises in classic cars and really does a great job. just search the internet forums about him. I...

I had similar issues with mine last year , after numerous re-gasses it was eventually traced to some seals which the main dealer replaced, result is ice cold aircon

I have a facelift with Kpro, it was the first in the UK to have it. TDI north fitted it. they are different from the preface lift.

Sensors are about £50 2nd hand on ebay so new ones wont be cheap. Can they be cleaned ?

My ABS light was coming on and off. If I stopped the car and restarted it would sometimes switch off. however this week it's on and wont go off. Any ideas what it could be before I take it to the garage ?

I have owned my Facelift DC5 Dec 2004 since August 2005 and I am proud to say it passed it's MOT without any advisories this week. It's my daily drive so its not a garage queen, A lot of modern cars are approaching the scrap yard at 10 years of age. Considering I paid £18K for it, the...

I need to order some tyres quickly I am running OEM wheels but want to go to 225 rather than 215 which ones should I order

You should have had a drive over to Burnley today, there are two DC5 here a face lift and pre facelift.

What is the difference between 91 and 94's beside 3 :xgrin: I thought it was the stiffness of the sidewall

Are these the correct tyres for the 225 width ? . I will be fitting them on OE wheels £351 delivered. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 - 225/45 R17 94Y XL FP TL

Which 225 tyre did you buy. on the 215 its a 215 45 17 91Y XL on the 225 I can't find this spec with the XL unless you have a different load rating 94 does it make any difference ?

MIne is a December 2004

I think I was one of the first to get Kpro on a facelift, it was done at TDi north about 2006. I was given a loaner Kpro whilst mine was sent away and if my memory serves me right it wasn't a pre-facelift Kpro I think it was refered to as a wide band version. (During that time my ignition light...
