Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Yeaha,found and fixed the poxey rattle on the front suspension

Sorry to reserect this thread

[Mk2] [Turbo] Removing air con condenser??

A quick question. Is it a bumber off job to remove the front air con condenser or is it an easier job? Mines fell to bits and I want it out the way.

Any body done it that can tell me how to remove before i make a start?


Much appreciated.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Pop up Lights Mod??

Does anyone remember where that article was for stopping your pop up lights staying up after you have flashed your lights while you have your side lights on?

Really annoys me! Looked in the knowledge base, but cant seem to find it.
