    Drone, Drone, Drone?

    What will happen if I disconnect my battery?

    All done. No probs at all, radio just came on as normal, didnt actually try windows, remote fine and throttle body made a squealing sound for about 10secs. Drain hole blocked solid, tray full of water! I thought hole was a grommet for a second. Thanks to everyone for their input!

    Engine dying at speed?

    Hi all, new to site and desperate for some advice! I recently bought a 98 1.8 20v (n/a) ADR engine, so far, so good. The problem is, when I cruise between 3-4000rpm the engines dies when I accelerate. It only lasts a few seconds and then returns to normal. It seems to happen when my foot has...
