personally i think that the zipwax and turtle wax products aren't the best quality, but it all depends on what kind of finish you are wanting to achieve. Meguiars and Autoglym are both stocked by halfords, poorboys are a lot more of a quality product, but you do pay abit more for these products.
Autoglym is a top quality product and you can buy a starter kit with all you need to get going for around £74.00, which i know sounds a lot but if your serious about making your car look really amazing and will last you a good few years. what you could do is buy some of the Autoglym products and try them and see if you like them, then if you do and enjoy the polishing then take the plunge and buy the kit.
here is a good place to buy all your car cleaning products

and the polishing kit mentioned above is

if this is abit expensive then try some of the Meguiars products as they are abit cheaper but still as good, i use a lot of there stuff combined with poorboys products.
heres the link to all meguiars products

When I had my straight through system built I had another silencer made to replace the cat if I wanted to remove it, I tried it for a couple of months and because there was no back pressure in the exhaust I did notice a drop in fuel economy and maybe a slight drop in performance, now I have my cat back in its better on fuel and abit more power on hills. It is also a better sound with the cat in.
I know of cutting the rear silence out because when mine was done, the guy who did it said it was abit weird that there were two silencers.
I borrowed a cone filter of a friend for about 2 weeks and combined with my exhaust it was abit too load for my liking, so you could try a filter first and see what you think before you spend a lot more on an exhaust
-
No problem mate

i had exactly the same problem with a non genuine pack, drove it 2 miles and light came on with "Ignition Coil 'A' Primary/ Secondary Circuit" and Ignition Coil 'B' Primary/ Secondary Circuit"
bought a genuine one off lupoboz on here and its never missed a beat since
-
i have a straight through system on mine, it was custom made so when it came to the guy asking me how load, i told him to pack the silencers as much a humanly possible, so it doesn't sound chavvy as all, you would think it would be load on the motorway but actually mines really quiet
but i have heard that putting a good filter on gets a good tone from the engine without the price of a s/steel exhaust -
two small flat blade screwdrivers and work it loose, then either small pair of snipe nose pliers or good pair of tweezers
-
im only guessing but it could be the connector for optional fog lights, i went looking for this a couple of weeks back and had no luck, but that had 2 wires. dont hold me to it though haha

i have a JVC KW-R400, really good, front usb and aux for connecting/ phones or iPods. and a rear aux for hidden iPod cables etc. easy to use and looks good. bad point is the front does not detach but apart from that great radio

thanks for your reply, if i fill it to the first click i get about 30 miles of normal sensible (ish) before the needle starts to drop, but il check it again and see if its any different
-
thanks alot for the help, im going to give it a good service (needs one soon anyway) and change the fuel filter and see how it goes from there
-
ahh cheers, but would that not cause problems all the time? i was thinking that it might be the fuel filter as i have no record of it being changed but that's my only guess
-
not long after, like 10 mins of carful driving. still registers 1/8th of a tank of fuel still in
-
hi all,
when the fuel light comes on and i don't put any fuel in, the car starts to cough and bunny hops at junctions. also if i leave it ticking over it cuts out after about 5 mins and then i struggle to start it again.
does anyone know why its doing this?
im just keeping the car topped up at the moment but i would like to solve this as i would like the car to be reliable if i am too far from a fuel station.
any help much appreciated
cheers

it isn't frozen is it? mines been jamming because of the frost recently
-
i just took the wheels off to do mine, only 4 bolts lol, then i drilled new holes in the liner and used the screws provided to secure the mud flaps, if your puting front ones on like mine then all you need to do is put the steering on full lock

go onto play store and download the app 'torque lite' free version that allows you to clear engine faults. then go on eBay and buy the torque OBD adapter, the adapter links to your phone via Bluetooth and then you can do magic things with your phone, i have a live dashboard running on my phonei do i do
good to hear mate, hope it gets fixed anywayI've got it booked in at the garage next week. Seems to be ok now :/ the light is still on though

there is an illumination wire in the back of the heated rear windscreen switch, thats where i took the feed for my fogs
-
yeah mine eventually stopped flashing and stayed on, but i have a gadget so i can resent any faults with my phone, but i would have a look at the coil pack if i were you, very simple job as well. let me know if you need help and i will guide you through it
-
is it definitely the exhaust? i had this exact problem, driving down the motorway and the light flashes a couple of times, then it turned one of the fuel injectors off and it sounds like a dying lawnmower haha, loses all power. i found that if you turn off the engine and restart it was fine.... until it did it again. it turned out that it was the coil pack, two huge cracks in it causing it to jump to earth instead of to the spark plugs.
-
cheers
and yeah your right but it look soo much better now, much more simple and fresh. been hating those stickers fr a while, just didnt get the time to take them off haha -
