hello after cleaning out my airbox i noticed there to be some gunk in the larger tube to the left of the engine and after removing the bent pipe it revealed the tube to be nearly blocked with this gunk! im sure this cant be good for the engine how can i get rid of it and what is it? also there is a pipe that comes off from the tube from the left and goes into a small round black thing with a flow arrow what is this too? as i think this maybe be gunked up white/yellow gunk? what is this kind regards James

its a long shot but could be in limp mode? check your brake switches and lights

ok wow thank you for all your replies, i think i will try some them brake pads and see if they make a difference if they dont then i will invest in a set of disc's thank you James

ah! ok solid disc's it is then! its just my discs need to be changed so i thought i might as well as spend a little more money on better disc's than standard ones, so to do the whole thing i need to get new disc's and new pads the pads i would get http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=574633 and these disc's http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=555668196 thank you for your help James

Hey thank you for your reply after doing some research it looks easier to buy performance disc's than to change the hub ive seen some brake disc's which are 239mm x 10mm solid or 239mm x 18mm vented, i currently have standard solid disc's and calipers do i need to change the caliper to have the vented disc's? these are the solid ones: http://www.europerfo...oduct=555668196 these are the vented ones: http://www.europerfo...oduct=555668197 thanks James

Hello i have a standard 1.0l Arosa and wondered if there are any brake upgrades i can do to get a better brake performance as ive often felt like my brakes could be alot better it doesnt have ABS but any i would consider any options, ive been reading about putting G60's on but lack the information about this upgrade and if it would make a difference at all thank you James

i believe its where the top hose from the rad goes into the engine block

take off the wheel and just run it on the discs?

i think there are two 1 is in the manifold and the other is along the exhaust system in the cat housing, the one in the cat can be unscrewed but i think the one in the manifold is welded in hope this helps

sounds like a clutch problem to me, the way the car judders when the clutch is de-pressed, the clutch is adjusted it a little too much and is just slipping causing the juddering hope this helps J.B

i get about 330 miles to a tank, i use what ever is cheapest unleaded at the stations, my driving style is: change gear at 3000rmp, try and use 4th or 5th in slow speeds

whats good for getting off the little black bits on the body, the spounge wont get them off but when i pick them off with my nail they come off thanks James B

hey i had this problem with the interior light but firstly when you leave the headlights and you open the door do you hear the alarm? because the drivers side switch on mine wasnt making contact, so the switch was thinking the door was closed when it was in fact open! so all i did was turn on the headlights, take off the door card, open the door and move the switch around until i heard the alarm and fix the switch in that position i hope this helps James B

have you tried tracing the pipe? because i had the same problem and i traced the pipe, the rear seat behind the passenger the plastic arm rest thing remove that and you should see the pipe in a foam enclosing, the pipe has a connector in the foam so all i did was connect it back together and the washer works! i hope this is helpful james b

thanks for the advice, all i did was take off door card locate wires and switch push and pull the switch whilst closing the door found that the switch worked when the wire's were pulled towards the front of the car taped the wires in new position tested it worked then put the door panel back and now it works so thanks very much

yeh ive had the same problem so if anyone can other help thanks james b
