I would check the circlip in the box behind the n/s driveshaft before buying a new box, also is there no bite at all? ruling out the clutch material coming away from the plate.

As mick said it shouldn't cause a non start, but I suppose on a cold morning with the an oil soaked HT lead 'could' cause an initial hard start.

Rocker cover leaking around cylinder 4 sparkplug hole, unless your on about French cylinder 4 (cambelt side) then it could be the vvt solenoid leaking. Normally as you undo the sparkplug the oil drips in, can you see oil residue higher up the spark plug hole? doubt its from within the combustion...

I would be checking both front coil springs to make sure it hasn't fractured/snapped at either end, also check the steering rod/track rod ends for 'visible' deformation, and check the lower arms(wishbones) for any damage, check for steering play/wheel bearing movement. Not forgetting the tyres...

I was shocked to see that you need to pay another £50 odd to buy the syncrometer for balancing the bodies when you buy the kit :eek:

True, it will have an effect on auxillary load, although pas wont pump/hold more pressure in the rack than it needs so a spool valve opens to release some oil/pressure back to the return(normally resulting in an air/whine noise) even though the pumps at full pressure, ideally we need pictures...

Unusual, the full lock noise would normally be down to either a noisey PAS pump or Dirty PAS fluid, The issue with the tensioner should provide a constant noise if its rubbing on the belt, can you get some pictures up?? Do not drive the car if the aux belt is wearing on the tensioner as if it...

No problems mate :) just pm if any other info needed

See pictures, the depth of the hole is actually (top of semi-circle to what would be the bottom of the bumper) is: 2.5 inches 9.5 inches between pipes from the inner edges of the semi circles, and 4.5 inches is the length of the lower bumper cut out edge to edge.

^Ah I see, this happened on my old saxo , I had a weird noise/whine, tightened the nut and it went away lol, it was unusual because the nut was still fairly nipped still but it did tightened up a fair bit more, and the noise was there for over a year until I decided to look, was nice to get rid...

iirc 5th gear is on its own separate from other gear cluster, its on the same shaft but behind the metal cover(looks like a sump) on the side of the box nearest the chassis. I have seen before on french gearboxes where the nut holding the 5th gear on has become loose, and in very rare cases the...

I will do this for you, I literally just got a tape measure in my cracker lmao

If the fluid is discoloured/dark then I would try changing that first, the fluid should be blood red not brown/black. The pumps are quite noisey anyway (whiney) but if its got noticeably louder and the fluid change doesn't quiten it down then it could be the pump. Mine was really noisey, it...

My last car had the drivers door caved in by some c**t, it was so badly distorted the window wouldn't go down lol. It was done in my car park at home and i still haven't found out who did it to this day.

Ktec Induction Kit for my car to fit today, bought myself an exhaust but had it early ;)

Unfortunatly the Rocker cover is also the camshaft ladder and holds/houses the camshafts bearings, so the timing will be affected as the cams will no longer be secure and will move.

Get a dent man on it, I had mine done today, you cant even see that there was ever a dent there lol

The rolling road seems to be fairly accurate, whilst I was waiting to have my car run there were type-r's running between 190-195bhp (and very low torque:rasp:) and other cars were getting realistic results aswell, had my old car dyno'd there before with relatively low/realistic figures haha :)

I paid £30 for x2 power runs and a print out. There was another option to have the AFR plotted on the graph as well for another £10

Cheers mate :)

Mine is yet to be mapped :), By the looks of it there's plenty of improvement to be had from the factory map, the torque curve isn't exactly ideal, and the power drops off way too early considering the factory rev limit. I still need to check my inlets, although they are RS stamped I have seen a...

Very true, Power certainly isn't an issue on the road lol

In regards to 'the fatty' thanks for posting up graphs mate. I cant help but think the rollers used on yours were a tad 'friendly' 190bhp from 182 with IK. I know RR's vary so much with readouts. Mine still fairly standard so there headroom yet ;)

Shell Vpower nitro

Exactly this, it pulls very well to be honest. Il still end up going back after the new year, I have a ktec induction kit for xmas :D, then il get a remap when funds allow.

Yeah mate, im about 20 miles away near the city centre :)

Haha, yeah I took my old saxo vtr there and the results were very believable/low, I cant afford a remap yet but when I do il drive up to Leeds and have RStuning do it.

Top man! im just uploading my pics and graph now, your torque drops off like mine does, think we both need a remap mate :)
