Cheers peeps! will give that a try later on.

Driving home from work today and drove through a large puddle. Straight afterwards the car was only firing on 5 cylinders or less and there was a few loud popping noises coming from the engine bay. It did clear eventually tho. It is not the first time the car has done this but is defo the worst. After having a search on the site I think it could be the coil pack. Any suggestions??

I got a call from the garage about an hour later saying that the wheel bearing was needing tightened up and this is also what was causing the ABS problem. I was under the impression that the front wheel bearings a

So by unhooking the top and bottom rad hoses will this drain all of the coolant from the system including the block? Or am i gonna have to take stat off to do this?

Guys Looking to do a full coolant change at the weekend as my coolant is a getting bit dirty. Was gonna start by letting the engine warm up to normal operating temperature so the stat opens then undo bottom rad hose. Will this release all of the coolant in the block and radiator? Does anyone know of a better or correct way of doing this? I was also going to use holts speedflush? Is this any good.

Cheers guys. Planning to get some leather soon as the cloth interior is starting to look a bit shabby, then i'll probably start looking at power upgrades. I'll also look out the autoglym bumper care
