Front Diff Nose Cone Leak

After returning from the Carrera Cup Donnington Park I spotted a small leak comming from the nose cone.
Striped out front diff, new seal kit being installed by specialist next week.

Dammit Alex I've been jinxed by reading this thread.

Car was running perfectly until I read this thread yesterday, now the car feels a little rough and I mean a tiny bit jerkish when moving from standstill. Almost like it's thinking about pulling away before it kicks in. Car stalled for no reason, coinincidence? Maybe but I haven't stalled the car in over a year.

Coil packs and plugs changed about two and half years ago.

Thoughts?
Clean the MAF. :thumb:

Stupid question alert - where is the MAF located and how do you clean it?
 
Think one of the micro switches are on the way out on my drivers door
Dancing window sometimes not dropping other times etc :roll: :nooo:
 
Water ingress on the outer door handle microswith. Bet you have a rubber missing off under the handle.
 
Took my C4 for a spin after being away for a few weeks, smile back on my face. Soon to be wiped right off, reversing it back into the garage my 9 year old advised me of a water trail on the floor. Good spot from the boy, having dumped all the coolant out. Hopefully just a pipe to be replaced. Temp didn't rise so I figure I got a lucky escape. Will check it out in the week.
This is my first issue. 1000 miles and 3 months of ownership. Nobody said it would be easy.

Easy fix if that is the case Alex?
 
Nothing.

She is well looked after, but never missed a beat in 3yrs. Run her on Millers Nanodrive, after reading Hartech info. Best car I have ever owned, 2002 C2 by the way with 89000miles. :thumb:
 
Got back home from Bude yesterday after normal journey on third world roads and spoiler was scraping on the drive.
Gone to Indy today with suspected broken spring...
 
I'm hoping this is the oil pressure sender and not something more serious...
It just came on just before I parked up this morning, It seems to be running fine .... :dont know:
