was fine on my daily for getting on a year. It's perfectly fine until you raise compression and the heat is increased by having to r****d the ignition. If a stock compression engine is getting too hot for a polo rad (or similar) the ignition timing is too retarded at low rpm/idle (which is where...

the plug on the shroud is for a resistor pack. it's part of the variable speed control for the fan. Don't need it as soon as the AC condensor is removed. Cups don't have it

I've seen a litre pumped out the breather in 5 laps of snetterton due to heavily worn guides.

Ph1 cat is excellent. Least restrictive standard option

It'll be valve guides not replaced. They're always worn out now. This Hugo's old car? Think I spoke to you at Bedford Renault sport evening.

Yes it can be read and compared

Sinus

I've seen one drop the valve head and it's embeded into the piston and stayed there, just smashing the sparkplug to bits. Low odds of not utterly shattering everything but it can happen. does sound more like bottom end with the further description though.

LOL, no fisting? I've got to hand the car over for CANbus coding to be done on the new ECU next week, which could take a while (its a massive undertaking)

bet it has dropped a valve head

don't touch the water pump, they almost never fail until a new one is fitted, then they become problematic. I'm £650 all in for cambelt kit, aux belt kit, dephaser and oil and filter change

no need to remove it, just someone had on mine annoyingly

cheers!

that could be useful if it'll fit on a standard cam actually. ​

Sort of. Nothing I can talk about too publicly yet unfortunately, but should be several instalments of progress in the next couple of months

197 cams should have a timing wheel (4 teeth) on the inlet cam. I've got a pair I bought that someone has removed the timing wheel so it's useless for what i wanted (actually going in a 197)

I genuinely don't have anything to recommend as far as a strut brace goes. The PMS one is quite nice. I do think that with the solid mounts, the OMP one will be doing a lot more than it would with OE mounts, probably to the point you wouldn't notice any difference with changing to a type that...

Pagids are very good but wowspensive!!!!

the trouble you're going to encounter is where have the holes been drilled on the current mounts? The way the pms brace is designed, you have to fit it at the same time as the mounts, or not at all, or you'll be drilling more holes when you do come to fit the brace. Same could be said of the KTR...

Mintex M1155 all day every day

The Janspeed Sport (not supersport) is the quietest of the aftermarket systems by a fair margin. The rs192 is a piece of crap that i wouldn't take if it was free

it's the FPR.

Something worth mentioning which many people overlook, is oil cooler hose size. IF you run cooler hoses of too small a bore, they cause a localised increase of pressure, which causes the PRV to open earlier than it should. The PRV sees a higher pressure than the rest of the engine is actually...

if you had for example said you were coming to me, or one of a couple of others, he would have just said get the car here and I could do it all for you. I've done a couple of firmware changes where the GEN90 has been "hacked" for want a of better word, with other firmware, and lost functionality...

Sounds like your loom needs attention/replacement

Did you change the lambda as I advised on the phone?

5.1 litres from dry. you will never notice the difference with putting 5 litres in, as you never get every drop out

lets put this into perspective "Hi, i've bought your products second hand, i'm not giving you any money or bringing you work, I'm going to one of your main competitors who loves to slate you, give me help for free" "no"

YOU NEED THE FIRMWARE CHANGING!!!!!!!! it's not going to run until this has been done
