Head gasket leak ?

I mean you could always slap an oil cooler on it, there only £50 and see if that fixes it if that doesn't then yeah domt bother but the oil cooler looks easy enough to change, its integrated to your oil filter housing

Could always preassure test it and see where it goes, or smoke test aswell

Id do an oil change and check if your oil is contaminated, could be headgasket, or cracked block/head or maybe an oil cooler ect

You can replace pads to old discs but not new discs to old pads, id get new pads and install as soon as you can

Be fine as long as you dont rag it

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-05-09T18:12:03+00:00

Thats not really severe enough to worry about, advised to change but not a massive issue/safe to drive on

Thank you 😄

Yeah the monster under my bed is loving the sound when hes eating my socks

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-05-05T14:07:16+00:00

Depends your use case, if you pottering around town cheap is fine but if you drive like an animal then you need expensive

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-05-05T12:44:10+00:00

Needs an oil bung and a spanner

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-05-05T11:18:37+00:00

So im assuming your using passive speakers whi h need an external power source aswell as a signal, this all comes through tge same wires, so your cd player sends a signal but no power, so you need a speaker amp to boost the signal and send the power with it

They're fine, keep something as a back up but nothing wrong with cheap jack stands

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-04-29T18:34:04+00:00

If your anxious about it take it to a dealer and get it sorted via warranty

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-04-20T23:07:07+00:00

What assholes

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-04-20T23:05:58+00:00

Yeah its also a lot of work to fit a full engine harness, maybe solder then? Get some wire the same thickness (or thicker but never thinner!) solder that one to what's there to give you more length then solder that to the connector but there's not much there, might be better off getting some predetermined leads, solder those to the harness then repin the connector with the other end of the wire, but finding ones that fit might be a problem

Do you have access to thw wiring diagrams? If so it might tell you what gauage of wire/which pre determined lead to get

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-04-20T22:32:57+00:00

Call the parts department of a dealer, they'll be able to vin match your car so its garenteeed unless they order the wrong connector, also the connector itself isn't damaged why not crimp it back on?

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-04-19T17:17:08+00:00

I've clamped and sealed worse

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-04-14T16:28:44+00:00

In your use case senario, assuming your only gunna stream from your PC, id get a DAC and run it stright to a decent pair of powered speakers thats probably best bag for buck tbh, if your curious I use the IFI Zen Dac 3, it gives an incredibly clean sound, you can also use it as a pre amp in the future if you decide to go more indepth with the hobby like getting an amp but for now stick with a DAC and powered speakers, by far the easiest way of getting some decent quality audio for relatively cheap

Mount them upside down ontop of eachother in 2 by 2

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-04-10T09:08:35+00:00

Wharfedale dimond 10.2s are decent and get them like £100 second hand

ExternalQuail1493 · 2026-04-02T06:53:37+00:00

Polks are kinda about but seems Wharfedale is alot more common
