    Limp mode

    That's exactly how the car's performing - as if it doesn't have a turbo!

    Limp mode

    Cheers. My car's therefore not in limp mode. Hopefully it's something nice and simple.

    Haven't tried anything as yet, it just started yesterday and I have no idea why it is doing it!

    Dodgy rev counter

    Hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this. When I turn on my ignition my rev counter needle starts to vibrate really fast around 0 and this continues when I start the engine. About 10 seconds after I start the engine the needle sorts itself out and sits at normal idle. There is no...

    Honda Integra Type R DC2

    They're not really that different to be honest. Both are in essence 3 door "hot hatches". The S3 has much more of a civilised cabin that's better to be in if your going to be covering larger mileage/longer journeys. That's the reason I changed from the CTR, I started doing a lot more miles and...

    Porsche 911

    There's a very real chance that the 911 will be my next car. A couple of workmates have them and they are absolutely fantastic, one is a P-plate 993 carerra 2, one is a 996 carerra 4s and the other is a 997 carerra s. I can't help but look at the 993 everytime I walk past it in the car park but...

    Honda Integra Type R DC2

    Previous to the S3 I had a Civic Type-R, and I had a shot in one of these "tegs" when I was looking at the Civic. In my opinion they are both massively fun cars to drive but I'm not sure that they are that cool!!!

    Mk2 VW Golf GTI 16V

    Yup, gotta love the MKII. I've owned a couple, had a white F plate GTI 8V small bumper, and a Royal Blue H plate GTI 8V big bumper. Loved them both. Also had a MKI GTI, now that is a cool car, my one was a bit of a dog though!

    Looking for a job

    I agree with Geordie Mike and 28V6, there is plenty of money to be made in the offshore industry in Aberdeen. Apart from the major Oil companies such as Shell, B.P. etc there are also loads of consultancies and specialists you could work for. Try companies such as Wood Group, Schlumberger...

    Facelift wing mirrors on pre-facelift car?

    Anyone know if OEM chrome wing mirrors from a facelift S3 will fit straight onto a pre-facelift S3? If there are any modifications to be done, are they straight forward enough? Many Thanks, G.
