More than likely the decat mate, comes on and off periodically if it is that. If not best to get it plugged in or back to the dealer for diag

Holy fook to the bike! Is the road the civic driver is on the same one theres a cup doing a similar thing around it?

Lol brilliant mate!!

So promising from the side. Wonder is it paint or vinyl... beaten up panda springs to mind

That looks absolutely tight dude! Show and go included there, nice one :approve:

Shouldnt need to be drilling anything mate. The bottom bit of the mount bolts through the subframe, the top one bolts through a metal cover type thing and that is bolted to the gearbox

I imagine he means their calls were recorded... by them

crack the disc on and use the hub nut to push the disc back on, had a pain in the d*ck like this yesterday!! I couldnt get the old disc off for love nor money and the new one going on was the same issue!

My fee has now gone up from today to an hourly rate!

access to one side of the bolts is down by the manifold (let the car cool down) thats where problem occurs, it is possible to put a spanner on the bold and wedge it against something or squeeze your hand through to hold it. Alot of cut hands that way though. It'll be easy enough to sort I...

Dead easy, especially since you have the mechanic background. Driveshafts, wiring, manifold and mounts off and out it comes pretty much

Might as well come out if you are doing both, makes life a hell of alot easier on the belts anyway

Takes me 20mins on a 172 to remove and refit, I dont know why people think its so hard. Foot long extension bar and it really is that easy, even easier again if you have a multi-directional joint. Thats also just jacked up, no ramps Everything is easier with the right tools

Borrow a mate, get some socket extension bars....... easy peasy

Ah ok makes sense then. Pete's anthracite is the nicest colour like that I have seen, tell him to check those out

Does he go to Serc ross? See a similar one parked up some days, does look well. Can't you just show him pics of when you had the oz's on

Yeah def missing a few pics there dutty! Theres a chav inside you always trying to get out looks like! Looks good though :)

No just cranked with the spark plugs out and had a look into the pistons from the plug holes. Couldn't get anyone to give me a hand at the time so just rotated it a bit and it was grand. The more its rotated the higher the linkage lifts up and down (height wise) when the gear stick is moved...

I did mate yeah, a lot of the oil left in during the travelling made its way around the whole block, settled and left some mess inside. Basically needed some tlc and a few miles under the belt to burn alot of crap off. Still unusually ticky, and feels like its holding back a bit though, but...

Everything should just pop in nicely I think.

Fault ended up being the brake vacuum pipe had a hole and bad connection

Yeah i'd say so. At least they will be able to tell if theres any difference in the map or anything needs reset or something.

It'll be in the side of the throttle bodies, dunno how it could be tested. Maybe even cleaned or something? Do you have access to the gotech software yourself or just the mappers?

Wouldnt be anything to do with the map? tps?

check the connections didnt get any moisture in. Even spray some wd40 in and see if it happens again.

Yeah the motor is the same on all the headlights

Just the wiring isnt hooked up, the pipework is though. I'll wire it back up tomorrow anyway just incase but with people removing theres I doubt its doing anything nasty

Not sure exactly mate, just filled up with water for testing the engine because new hoses are en route. Seemed like I was holding the hose there for ages anyway. Enough that after running the car for a while it started to raise its own level again in the tank up past max before I shut it off...

I can do nothing but laugh to be honest at the moment its just not going my way. The new engine is in, fixed the climbing revs... was a bad connection in the brake vacuum hose so at least thats one thing. So the new issues i'm having now are: -Coolant is just going walkies, no puddles no...

Honestly danny I have checked and double checked for airleaks just nothing. There was smoke coming out of the lower inlets when I whipped the plenum off. Spark plugs seem to be quite oily aswell after just being cleaned and put back in
