No need to splash the cash on this one, just remove the heat shields and you will be golden.

Yes, there is a manual cable pull to open the boot in such circumstances.

This might help, very easy to modify the OEM crash bar to marry up with the intercooler.

Are there no cats fitted to the car at all? If that is the case then you will have to find a friendly mot tester or fit a pair of OEM or aftermarket cats. Where are you based as I may be able to loan you a pair of cats to get you through your MOT? Regarding your rocker cover issue, the solution is below. Just give me a shout if I can help further.

You will have to carry out an accurate oil consumption test and report back if you want an informed opinion. What colour is the "smoke" Brand, and a change in oil viscosity might help as would installing a catch can. If you are getting excessive blue smoke on cold start up then that would suggest worn valve stem oil seals or worm valve guides. Excessive blue smoke on hard acceleration would suggest worn pistons, rings, or bores. Once you report back with the oil consumption numbers, further recommendations will follow. Are you running OEM cats, sport cats, or decats? Also with the ambient temperature being a bit cooler, you can expect extra exhaust emissions.

You say in your first post that it only smokes on hard acceleration. Your second post says that it only does it on start up. Which is it? Also how many miles do you get per 1lt of oil? What is the mileage of your car?

OEM in stock and good to go same/next day.

Some images for you. Make sure that the drain route is clear which is highlighted with the welding rod. Just drop me a PM if I can help you further.

Good roof seals are in stock. There should be no splits. Photos will be posted up tonight.

It will fit after a fashion however, it will not marry up with the arch liners, also the reflector apertures are different sizes, but the main fitment issues will be the headlamp washer apertures and mounting points where the facelift washer parts will not fit prefacelift and visa-versa. Best to stick with a facelift rev up replacement.

Water ingress from the top front is usually down to a worn/perished/badly fitting out of shape seal and drawing on my experiences a new seal is the fix. Been a year since I have replaced a seal so will have a look for you tomorrow when next in the shop and give you a shout back.

Replacement seals are in stock if required. I will check on the "split" that you refer to when I am back in the shop.

New and preowned oil caps are in stock mate and may also have the weatherstrip but would have to check for you.

How did you get on with all the other previous suggestions that I provided you with?

Tar and glue remover will soon get that off.
