Sorted the idle problem.
Cleaned the map sensor (+ found one for a tener on ebay - so now have a spare). There's a fine dusting of oil in the inlet tract and the map sensor is not a 'remote' one, connected via a vacuum hose (like mine). So I'm making an assumption it was coated in that...
It's just boost cut. The load sites arent available, the previous owner thinks it was a Renault 5.
Varying degrees of reliability post 180bhp. Its a topic in itself.
The saxo turbo is laid up awaiting some expensive parts and whilst looking for second hand bits - I found this car for sale on facebook.
It was local and I've not had a 106 before, but have experience with the sister cars. So have taken this one on as a winter project/xmas present.

I've been checking the valve clearances on my bike and one of the valve cover bolts snapped. Typically it is the one most exposed to the front wheel and not even half a can of WD40 made any odds.
I'm left with this:
There's not a great deal of land, left on the thread of the bolt, but I...
From Ford though, not surprised on the pricing. Fun comes at a cost. It's how my kids were created.
A wise man once said, there are no pockets in shrouds.
Love it.
Steering wheel does look like it is from a Saxo owners facebook group. What are you getting instead? OMP trecendo or something?
Would look great with some TD Pro race. What wheels options have you got?
I'm thinking the Lambda setup is the same as on the Clio's. I run an Innovate LC-2 wideband on my project car.
The stock ECU reads the narrowband o2 sensor using the generic '4 wire' lambda. White/White/Black/Grey wires. I know the signal wire is the black wire.
What I don't know, is which...
I went to a car show recently and saw a 106 turbo with a charge cooler installed. Since then, I've been reading some threads and they are plenty used. I didn't think it was the 'done' thing.
I've never considered it before, in my small boosted project. But I think manufacturers are using...
Yup. Today's society.
Eybrows, t(ts, car, clothes, TV, phone, cocktails - all on some form of credit.
Everything through an instragram filter, easily sold because others have it.
Welcome to 2018.
My daily hack/nail was making some cracking and clunking noises when turning, from the passenger side. I ordered a 'shaft' from Renparts.
Thats the 'new' shaft on the left. The abs ring looks too small and so do the splines. I obviously couldn't check this until my shaft was off.
True...

Following on from my previous thread regarding the back boxes.... this time it's the cat/de-cat.
I'd like to put a cat back in the car. Currently it has a decat as below.
It's crap and blows as good as our lass.
There is a sale/voucher code for Euro car parts (no suprise) that shows I can get...
