Just realised my battery tie down hasn’t been in the engine bay for a LONG time. I’ve got the top part but I’m missing the rods/securing stuff. Anyone know where I can get some? EBay is failing me. Cheers!

Potentially... I’m 3 hours drive from Peterborough!

Basically everything from the Y pipe back is shafted. I’ve not succeeded in finding any cobra or scorpion ones so far, cheers for the pointers

So... mines busted up! No Japspeed k1’s anywhere, I’ve found a K2 cat back but wondered if I’m missing a trick somewhere? On a bit of a budget so ideally looking between £300 and £400. Cheers!

Need the expert confirmation! My clutch pedal is having issues again (pedal sticking to the floor when hot or after exuberant driving), would it be safe to assume my slave cylinder is on the way out? Also, I’ve noticed that when I put my foot down in 4th 5th or 6th, the revs spike with no immediate acceleration, drop back down and then the car kinda ‘catches up’. Clutch slipping and time to replace? Thanks!

Yup I've emailed Kaizer as I think he's the closest to me (I'm in Ramsgate). I guess I've gotta go pick a new battery up locally.

Well it's now completely dead. Won't even start now!

Well it's not fixed. Today it struggled to turn over after being stood for a good 3 hours. Clock was at 1.05 (it was 7pm) and now my ESP off light won't turn off and the slippery wheels light is also on. Something is very very wrong here. It'll probably start fine tomorrow but I'm starting to lose my patience!

Soooo... ECU codes didn't show anything concerning. The garage had the starter motor apart and refurbed as it wasn't in the best of conditions, and refitted the belt being extra vigilant over tightening correctly. The issues seem to have gone (touch wood), it sometimes has a drop in idle on starting but so far so good.

So... I've had a squealing belt intermittently for a few months now, happens on starting the car and i believe from reading up that this is the AC belt needing tightening? However there's been a couple of occasions after driving about where the car has been laboured when starting again. It feels like a battery issue or maybe alternator, and I've been meaning to get it looked at. Last night, I left the car running on the drive for about 5 mins while I fixed a meter door on the house, took the keys out, let myself in the house to get changed, and went to go out again when the car refused to start at all. Like the battery was completely dead. However 3 hours later, I thought I'd try and start the car again and it fired up first time, albeit with the squealing belt again. The battery voltage is normal on the gauge. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how my car is managing, I guess, to almost 'recharge' itself when the engine isn't even running?

Have you checked the roof for holes? Mine had this until I replaced the whole roof.

Cheap as chips at The Range too. Oddly I don't think the bulbs have to actually be for your car, just spare ones! At least that's what I had when I went to Le Mans.

Is that the Canterbury Jag showroom? And did you get the special button that does nothing except change the exhaust note? I love these, the noise they make is quite something!

I've used camskill for parts before, always been very good. MPSS's are currently £126.95 for fronts, £150.65 for rears on there.

Yup...
