  4. hey guys took the car to my mechanic friend today! gave me some bad news. he thinks because the temperature only goes up when im booting it ( under pressure ) he thinks its the head gasket. the coolant and everything were all on correct levels and looked ok ( not rusty as first thought ) the pipes also got warm so he doesn't think its the thermostat as it would over heat all the time if it was and wouldn't come down when i came off boost. how much am i looking at to get this repaired?? I only purchased the car last week from a private seller, am i within my rights to ask for my money back? thanks B
  5. il try that tomorrow, just to be sure the picture i took of the engine coolant bottle, that is the expansion tank correct?? I really need to get myself a workshop manual lol i would be interested in taking the coolant off you though ? thanks for ur help

  9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dA401CtJEQ afternoon guys, I have noticed this noise after driving my car ( fast ) is this normal or not? im pretty sure its not. the temperature gauge reads normal ( bang in middle ) when driving normally. but when i put my foot down for any length of time the temp gauge goes way high. ive only had the car a week ( purchased from a private seller ). I made a video of the noise you hear - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dA401CtJEQ any suggestions would be welcome! cheers
  10. no, you can put it down with the ignition on but as soon as you start the car it goes back up and only comes down around 60mpH i believe. I have pmed a guy on there that i found when i searched active spoiler that makes the switch .
  11. afternoon, I read somewhere you can pull a fuse when the spoiler is down to make it stay down. does any one know where this is located? cheers
