    Is my car priced correctly?

    Those wheels, are they standard?they appear to have a lip, very subtle differences but just had to physically check my wheels to confirm yours are a little different Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New owner with questions!

    Awesome. Wow is similar to mine then, mines done 83k. I paid 8.5 from torque GT about 6 months ago. I've put induction kit on but wanted it pretty standard. I even wanted standard springs but I actually love it with the spoon springs on. Plus when I see them standard they do sit quite high. My...

    Sits just like mine, although mine has spoon springs on standard shockers. The condition looks similar too. What are your headlights like? And without sounding too nosy what's the mileage and how much did you pay? Tell me to piss off of you want. just interested. Thanks Sent from my iPhone...

    Merc Racing JRSC auto tensioner belt

    I've not got a super charger but did have a similar issue with the tensioner. It was down to the belt length. Have a look where the arrow is on the tensioner in relation to the two raised markings. The arrow was way off from the marks on mine. In my case the belt was too long, once I'd fitted...

    Annoying vibration from engine

    Auxiliary belt length

    I'm having this issue at the moment, mine has a 7pk1715 and it's too long causing the tensioner to drum, after some research I've found it should be a 1710 but can't find one in the uk. I've heard people fitting 1705 or 1715 as an alternative but the 15 isn't working for me. Can you guys confirm...

    Annoying vibration from engine

    Hi mate It's deffo engine area, I've had the manifold cover off as I've had this problem on both my previous EP3's but that didn't work, you can see the tensioner shake as the knocking noise starts. I'm going to take aux belt off and check all pulleys to make sure they are free running properly...

    Annoying vibration from engine

    Hi Jimmer You seam like the guy that may be able to help me with a vibration. Mine comes if you simply blip the revs whilst the car is stationary, with the bonnet up you can see the aux belt tensioner rattle in time with the noise, so I had this replaced, the issue returned almost immediately...

    2000rpm rattle

    Hi guys, I have a similar rattle when under load at very low revs only in 1st and 2nd gear and also when you blip the revs when stationary, I noticed the aux belt tensioner was really noises so had it replaced. It was better for a few days but is now back. I don't know what it is but it's coming...

    Torque GT

    Yes I agree you see it all to often mate but I wouldn't do that intentionally I just feel it was worth the mention. In no way am I wanting to put people off as such it's more about sharing my experience, I do feel I was maybe unlucky on this occasion and again I do commend how they have dealt...
