Reading a lot of peoples comments both here and elsewhere on the web have noticed a regular problem "REAR SUBFRAME FAILURE/ROT" I have a 1999 3.0 manual and a 53 2.5 auto and the early one has failed mot due to the above have bought a second hand subframe but it also has a few week spots on close inspection have had these repaired before I fit but was wondering if it is possible to modify the later model subframe to fit as it seems the later models don t suffer quite so much with this problem. I have removed a subframe previouly when I broke a 3.0se so not a major job but would prefer to fit it just once and not have to replace again in a few years time or does anyone know a firm or person who refurbishes or re manufactures the subframes All advise and info gratefully accepted darren

I picked up a 3.0 manual on a T plate for £650.00 and transfered my 3.0 se interior into it along with thd wheels etc if your lookinv for a newer model look at getting the sport model with as many factory options but a cloth intrrior as there are quiet a few se and even type R interiors around for resonable money . I also fitted a cone airfilter which 1 makes it sound a bit meatier but also has given me more throttle response but reduced fuel consumption now averaging 28 mpg on local trips and 34 plus on a run only thing to make sure is mot as new as poss or if not give the rear subframe a close inspection as mine just failed due to this but luckily picked up another for a song

I own a 3.0 manual and have to admit its more fun and usable than the auto I had that died through gearbox failure. tye manuals do seem to be a little cheaper than the auto s why not pic up a good reasonable price manual and spec it up ?

Added a £25 main beam kit from ebay ( china ) great improvement on standard light will upgrade dip lights during summer not problem with 2 mot s also as for the adjusters on the lights failing again I bought an aftermarket kit ( contains both sides in the kit adjusters and mountings instead of being made just from plastic like the original ones in the lights these are steel reinforced resin fitted with no problem and feel much more stable than the the originals that crumbled like a sugar cube

The toothpaste worked for me but used the one designed for dentures had a better result

Sorry but the whole centre consol was the firstvitem to go

Yes I still have the cd changer and also the power steering pump pump is £14.00 changer is £25 you can either collect or arrange for postage

yes still have the changer but not the cartridge as being used in other carc

the one i have had the cd shuttle in the glove box so will have a largd hole where it sits as is is fitted around the cd

you mean the glove box liner ? does yours have the cd shuttle in the glove box ?

Can anykne help i m looking to swap my 1999 s type sport steering wheel for my old 1999 se multifunction wheel does anyone know of any problems i may incur . Want to ensure the lazyman radio controls work but would also love to try and retrofit the cruise ckntrol. Still have the comllete se car so any modules or wiring would not be a problem .but would love to know if it is possible without major re wiring or dealer reprograming Or do i just stick with the original wheel ?

I ve recently bought a "t" reg 99 s type manual as my auto died due to gearbox faultz and after having it rebuilt originally at a coct of over £600 decided to give a manual vrrsion a go So far haven t looked back the car is still a pleasure to drive and even returns better fuel figures with a sports air filter fitted than the the auto did. Wiuld recomend the manual to everyone but get the highest spec you can as the majority are a low sport spec. Not the se and do not have all the bells and whistles
