Not cheap though, saw a full set available f...

I fitted heaters in the front seats and went for the EL dials and heater controls, they are white in the day and green or blue with red numbers when lit and have adjustable brightness. Much better than stand...

sunroof drains will run down the rear pillar and out through the boot floor via a rubber grommet. if you have a 5 door it could be the little quarter glass leaking or on a 3 door like mine the large quarter window maybe ?

Most likely a rear light seal, can also check the boot seal for any breaks. Easiest way to check is remove the rear shelf, boot carpet trim around rear lihgts and the two side covers that go over the wheel arches. this will leave the boot bare. then drop the backe seats and have some one sit inside ...

Manifold change.

Has anyone on the site fitted an alloy manifold in place of their later shite looking plastic one. I had the alloy type on my old 214 sei M reg. I now have another 214sei which also an M reg but has the ugly plastic job. I fitted it last week but the car was running terrible. What I need to know is ...
