  1. @Skajme You and MK2 was spot on. It took about 10 minutes to swap everything over, most annoying part was getting the plug/clip off. Coil Pack - £25 Spark Plug Leads - £13 (InterMotor)
  2. The cable ties holding the leads onto the coil pack maybe had something to do with it. (Been like that since the day i bought the car) noticed A & D was also super loose on the coil pack.
  3. Ok new coil and spark plug leads fitted and i think i see the problem. on the coil pack PORT A & D look very grey with corrosion while C & B looked fairly clean. We also saw the same results on the old spark plug leads which connected to A & D looked very worn while C & B looked fine. About to take it for a test drive and with some luck it will have solved the issue. https://imgur.com/a/YCqXlHM <- Pictures of bad ports, and the clean ones.
  4. thank you for the replies, i ordered a new set of HT leads last night and today ill order a coil pack.
  5. @mk2 Super quick on the reply thank you mate. So i have indeed just ordered some new leads, so you think try them first before buying a coil pack? Anything else to look out for mate?
  6. Ok so the other day i was driving like i normally do and was in 5th at 30mph (been doing that since ownership of the rosa, over 2 years) but then i was coming out of a 30mph into a 50mph pressed down on the throttle to increase speed and it started to stutter / tug, whatever you like to call it (felt like if you was going to stall) since then its been doing it in other gears when i go to apply more throttle. So i had the spark plugs out, all spot on not an issue... so my question is can anybody tell me any common problems or things i need to change? Reading Coil pack / HT leads?
  7. was skimming ebay not sure if these are what youre after? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352692497860?hash=item521e1c6dc4:g:-zMAAOSwJkNdBMOf
  8. Front brake pads and discs all swapped over, had to order a full of new bolt and sliders and the ribber seat for the calipers as the bolts was well rounded, i cant stand allen key head bolts, so prone to rounding its unreal. ended up having to hammer in some hex head keys to get them out, but replaced them all with fresh bolts etc.
  9. Thanks @James_VW yeah i got drums on the back. So simple push back on the fronts with a G Clamp sorted. Got MOT coming up so done a full service and doing the brakes and pads also and a brake fluid flush. Only annoying thing is when i put the engine cover back on and put the bolts up, 1 of the 2 bolts that hold the cover on the engine snapped, there is enough bolt to get a set of grips on to get the bolt out but really annoying, anybody happen to know the size i need to replace a cover bolt?
  10. Do the calipers on a Mk2 Rosa (2004) have wind back pistons on the front or just push back? Thanks.
  11. Yeah im the same i always like to make sure its 'all done right' and if im there anyway it makes sense to do the lot. Yeah thats really weird maybe another of the regs on here will come along with some useful info on them. Hope you got / getting the issue resolved.
  12. Lesson learned on the wishbones mate, was they listed for a rosa? One thing we messed up on was we installed the new wishbones and lower pin with the 3 bolts was not doing up the bolts. I said to my mate as we was doing it make sure them 3 bolts are tight, thought nohting of it drove to get the tracking done (as also did track rod and trackrod ends) and they did it twice came back to check and every time it was off again he then called me over explained something isnt right and just as he started showing me on the ramp he noticed what it was, 5 minutes later, 6 tightened bolts and 1 more time tracking it was sorted, was a sound lad also and didnt charge me for the messing about which was good of him. Simple mistake to make suppose moral of the story is always double check everything! Also i notice some nice shiny new brake shields, im going to do a full brake replacement soon (this time also changing all the brake fluid) just because ECP has a 45% sale on brakes and pads, so bought new sets for the front and want to replace the shields also seen them for £26 delivered eBay (without bolts) any cheaper from where you got them from?
  13. Looking great keep the pictures coming! Not going to underseal the whole subframe?
  14. Nah you're good, no problems at all. Anything that helps others is all good!
  15. I'll save anybody the hassle, don't bother with them above item. I ordered one late last night on amazon prime, paid a little extra but thought if it works well i paid £4 more than say eBay, it don't work and i send it back. Connected it all up as per instructions an double checked it all, powered up and nothing on dab. FM channels was better but there was nothing for dab made sure all settings was correct factory aerial as recommended but nothing, so within half hour of it landing on my door mat, its being returned just as quick. So for now the ugly window mount stays but it works flawlessly, its just so bloody ugly.
