Type R and VTEC owners

Go to Swansea. I'm very pleased with my hood (although it's not to everyone's taste!). With the price difference I could drive back and buy another one if I changed my mind. The fit is very good, I really can't complain at all. Also mohair is so much nicer than the original vinyl.

My mum does live not too far from that way, I'll give him a call.

Do I still have to send my old window to him?

Not when I went, but it's worth double checking.

ChrisD. · 26 Jan 2015 at 22:50

I'll call him tomorrow on my way home from London.

Bah, it's ok man. My parcel shelfs buggered it has 2 big holes in it for some speaker set up one of the owners must have done. Going to keep the car standard as every other ep3 I see has a mugen wing and some slanted exhaust.

Tim, who did you get to do your alloys?

Oo sounds a bit worrying. Hope it turns out to be something minor.

Fingers crossed mate.

You should have avoided that car as soon as the engine sounded a bit toasted... but I hope it's just the alternator or something mate, best of luck!!

Although it did sound good after the VC's were done! Must never have been touched!

Checked the belt is still intact? Might have eaten itself hence the smelll/smoke

If the charging circuit has failed somewhere then despite the car running it will be using only the battery to power all its electrics. Once this is gone...it's gone, you normally get a Christmas tree on the dash long before the charge goes when this happens though. If the belt is still there and this is the problem then at least the water pump should still have been turning

That's not good. Sounds like it could be timing chain related perhaps?
