Hi Frank, When I owned #45 the clutch went bang on 95,000k's. I knew it was going but because I chose to wait until it went it stuffed the fly wheel which I...

Gentleman, the info you're all supplying is just superb. Thanks David for the headrest cable fix links. I'll definitely have a go at it myself. And if the...

Luke Good to hear from you - it has been a while. First - the oil pump bolts. So far as I know, there is no problem using loctite on the bolts. When I had...
All, I was doing a bit of internet browsing (oh, the life of a shift worker ...work is dead-set killin' me, and I needed the break), and I came across the...

Hi David, It sounds pretty exciting and must make a huge difference to the way the car feels. The only thing I can relate it to is the E24 M635. The Euro spec...
Garry - yes, it has made a huge difference to the car's character - feels more 'raw' for some reason. The change in exhaust note (when combined with the...
