Hi guys first time ive been on this year so happy new year to all.:biggrin:
After ages searching 2 find out what kind of coilovers i hav on my car i have finaly found out that they are tein HA coilovers!!
I have a small question to ask aswell over the past 5-6 weeks my engine check light has came on about 3-4 times?? I hav then switched off the engine and restarted it(light stayed off) so i didnt think anything else of it however it has done it again 2 more times!!:confused1: I have checked the oil which was slighty low so i topped it up a tiny bit also checked coolant, again that was fine is there anything else i should check???

Does your car have an OBD-II diagnostic port ? What model year is it ? If it does, then you can just plug in an OBD-II scanner to read the code for what the problem is. Might be something very simple but might be something that needs attention to stop a major problem happening ?
