Lies. @Tubbs Vice was there.

Unfortunately they’re everywhere though now mate.

In my Vauxhall club days, we used to have a weekend event at Billing Aquadrome. That for me used to be the best event of the show season. Beer, bbq, mates and cars. Just good to get together with likeminded people.

I mean, whatever floats your boat I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not all of them have been discontinued mate. Selector forks for 1st/2nd gear however, have been.

Sounds more like the valeo clutch is failing to me and the straps have broken.

A 129 is a direct replacement for a 089 mate, so it’ll take the shafts. The only difference between the 129 and 089 is the final drive ratio is different on the 089. Yeah that’s fine mate. Just let me know and I can get it sorted if you need one.

I’ve got a 129 that I can build up as a 089 if you’re interested mate?

Try this mate. This is ph1 to gen90. And this is the gen90 pin outs. Credit for this goes to @barnesautos - I’m pretty sure it was him that sent me this. 👍🏻

I have a ph1 - ph2 wiring conversion somewhere mate. I’ll dig it out. 👍🏻

@KitsonRis I looked in the garage loft, and I have a plug for the ph2 throttle body. However, it’s damaged and won’t stay connected. As you can see in the image: However, there’s the part number clearly visible - explains why it’s broken as it’s an Audi item. Lol! Part number is clearly seen...

I’ve messaged him offering £5000 and my last rolo. That alone is worth £17500.

Cheap car for the work that’s gone into it

Ah ok. I'm with you now! I may have one on a loom in the garage loft. Will have a look tomorrow.

Ph2 tps is part of the fbw throttle body mate, and I’m pretty sure that it’s a female plug on the ph2 as well.

Send me your email address and I’ll fire the pdf over.

Does it drop down more if it’s stood for a few hours or remain at 11.9? A battery doesn’t like being totally discharged and can lead to them failing. But if they’re charged back up again fully not long after total discharge, the damage is lessened. A battery with a dead cell doesn’t just...

BMWs do the same thing with the voltage unless it’s a lithium battery found in the M power cars. So I’m saying it’s fine.

I fitted some of these on @Tom Johnson ‘s engine build, and I’m pretty sure I followed the arp instructions mate.

Yes it is. But much easier in a mk3.

I’d suggest you’re suffering from a potential cracked ring land on the piston. It’s a common issue on the f4r when they’re drinking oil.

Drop me a PM mate 👍🏻

If you get the box out and ship it to me I can do a refresh mate. I’m in Lichfield Staffordshire. Alternatively I can supply a box to just drop straight in.

This is correct. Often imitated, NEVER bettered.

Best shape Capri as well

The reason it will feel stiffer is because you’ve gone from a 1.7:1 motion ratio to a 1:1. It will improve the handling dramatically.

If you move the top mount rear wards you’ll lose wheelbase. Increase castor on the bottom ball joint and you’ll gain wheelbase.

I’ve been told that they’re no longer available as well mate, but I can raise a enquiry.

Sounds like you need the kit for 1st and 2nd gear as they’ve changed the design mate.

It all depends on how you drive it tbh mate. I’ve seen them last with 300/280, but I’ve seen some fail with 250/240.
