I've been hearing a noise when the car is slowing down in gear. Faint scraping noise. Goes when I dip the clutch or press the accelerator. I decided to check my fluids (all ok) and then had a look under the engine cover. Low and behold, an oily pipe. I'm assuming this is a leaky pipe, and I'm...

I have been looking at fitting a boost gauge to my car for a while and haven't made my mind up yet where to install it. While I have been looking around I have seen the scangauge, I quite fancy putting one of these in, I have tried to get some sense out of the manufacturer in the states to...

Hi guys new to the forum here! I own a 52 plate Ghia with 164k on the clocks.... A couple of weeks ago I noticed a loud whooshing noise coming from the engine bay when the turbo kicked in. After doing a bit of research I decided it was best to take off all the turbo pipes and inspect them for...
