  1. Car: Mk5 Golf 1.3 2008 Mileage: 93,000KM Desc: Coming off pearse street , I noticed the pedal was not retracting fully , everytime I engaged the clutch, the Clutch pedal would stay closer to the floor , got as far as CHQ (IFSC) pedal was on the deck ( 200 meters) Fix: I pulled the clutch pedal back up with my foot , I had a fully functioning clutch again; bite point , pedal effort ... is all working as expected ; drove it home from the City centre to Swords in traffic , no issues ; pedal was consistent Check Over: As far as I know clutch was never changed in the car Clutch Fluid was done last service , 2K KM Clutch Fluid is clear Clutch Fluid still at correct level Clutch is not slipping Never had issue with the clutch prior Checked for fluid leaks, No LEAKS Brake fluid reservoir Supply Hose Master Cylinder Slave Cylinder Bleeder Valve All Hoses Gearbox mounting area Clutch Pedal (inside drivers compartment) Any Idea's ? Not too sure if there is any point giving it into a garage if I have no visible issue or symptoms now?
  2. Thanks Look similar to what I got , mine did not fit great as the End cap tapers off , does not sit completely flush ; the quality of the plastic grommet is not great Will try the Stainless black countersunk bolts with rubber grommet rivet nuts , look better
  3. My car is off getting fettled so want have access to it until 2-3 months keep my posted
  4. No, tried a few, still have one of the original ones, just matched as best I could in a motor factor's Going to get some counter sunk black nuts and rubber rivet nuts No idea on size, I am thinking M3X20, trial and error
  5. Greg in protuner had this on a members car on here, said he was impressed with it, no sealing issues
  6. How many litres did you use, I calc 24litres with 95 octane will result in 100 mark Methanol is roughly 110 octane from what I read In terms of grades of methanol, some you need to avoid? These guys appear to have alot of different grades https://www.fishersci.ie/ie/en/products/I9C8K43R/methanol.html
  7. methanol is too expensive, was just going to use water Priced it here, its 65 euro for 19 litres I am installing a flexifuel sensor too
  8. I have a flexi fuel sensor installed but Problem is getting methanol in Ireland , VP M1 is the only one I know of here plus is it not very carcinogenic How many litres do you add to a tank? We only have 95 octane here Storage of a large amount is also an issue 65 euro for 19 liters of methanol here Companies here are reluctant to sell it as , Petrol station owners are using it to dilute petrol , launder fuel
  9. Methanol is expensive and hard to obtain , thats the problem
  10. Currently having it installed but I just need a relay and pump, nozzle to work with my ecu Was told the aem pump works reliable but I don't want to buy the whole kit as not needed Aquamist, I gave up trying to get a reply
  11. Friend has a standard skyline gtst with hks exhaust and cat in situ and link ecu He has failed the emissions test by 0.01, car was up to temp, recent service Any advice? BG products Diptane High octane fuel for the test, 95 only here

    Clutch

    Titan do the willwood one, Bijal has them too, never heard of the requirement to have one SSI are a spec clutch agent, might be worth getting marty or Colin to take a look
  14. I notice lately a lot of owners are deleting their ABS to facilitate the ‘Clean’ engine bay Some models it was an optional extra If we ignore the elephant in the room , it is there for your safety In terms of the availability of parts to maintain the system , I am tempted to do a delete now while the engine is out, new Brake master is getting fitted Wheel speed sensors are becoming difficult to source , Forget if front/rears are discontinued ; only alternative may be to run digital speed sensors Does a standalone ECU still retain the functionality of ABS, considering it uses the Yaw control module to independently control each caliper ? Trac ECU failed on mine , this was removed To even know if it is feasible here for the NCT (MOT) , As I have an RZ model ABS was Standard We have no indication on the VIN to suggest ABS was fitted Only indicator is the ABS light in the dash, this can be blanked off, Will the wheel hub have provision for an ABS sensor vs an A80 model without ABS does not? Basically , if I delete the ABS , will the tester have a valid argument to categorically say it was fitted with ABS put it back or no cert Antilock brake system (ABS) (k). Malfunction indicator light not working, not going through the correct sequence or indicates any kind of failure of the system. (l). System indicates failure via the electronic vehicle interface. (m).Wheel speed sensors missing or damaged. (n). Wiring damaged. o). Other components missing, disabled or damaged. Modifications Report e) Modification to the braking system including the addition or removal of equipment
  15. It has crossed my mind! Hell of alot cheaper and more adrenaline! I have the car so long, I just cannot part with it Hopefully have a go of the V4s when the weather gets better! Need to grow up a bit and start saving, get a place I can put these things and myself! Renting here is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Just need a Garage type setup , bed in the corner
  16. To try give us some indication of the issue , I would check if any Error codes are logged on the ECU It reads like you have a big air leak http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?35920-How-To-Check-the-diagnostics-codes
  17. I'd be happy if they just started a heritage program like Nissan , so we have access to parts Mazda do a nice Factory restore on the Mx5 https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/classic-cars/a23487935/first-factory-restored-mazda-mx-5-miata/
