The main advantage of heatwrapping is not underbonnet temps but it is to increase the heat of the manifold making the air inside less dense allowing it to travel faster. On many turbo applications it can have an adverse affect and cause the manifold to crack.

Exactly the same problem with mine. Nice and easy to weld but its starting to go again :(

How much did you have it up for buddy? Looks nice that

Sounds like its blowing to me... Low oil + VVT = oh dear Dont panic yet. Is the oil at the right level now?

theres no leak?!

And if you knew how hard it was to take the rocker off a RS you wouldnt expect it to be included in a service...

Put oil in it... It is very usual for a rebuilt engine to burn oil when bedding in. That is all they will tell you

Does the noise go away when you rev it or does it increase with the revs and stay?

I would but dont think i'll have time on my way back. I'm in Putney at the moment. Whats it sound like?

I dropped the very same bolt a few months back. Decided to leave it and replace it. Started the engine and it'd wedged in the aux belt! WOAH! Lie on the floor and bang the plastic undertray and see if you can hear it bounce, chances are thats where it is

Same location as always, Rindy's place in ipswich (www.fmsauto.co.uk). Dates are pretty flexible at the moment so perhaps give me some ideas of when is good, saturday or sunday is popular but can also do evenings depending on scale. Last time i did it there was over 20 nice cars from a mixture...

For your 'friend' suuuuure :rasp:

Hero. All sorted!

Only other thing wrong will be its manufacturer

Sounds like Alt bearings in that case, your lucky because thats easier to change ;)

Long shot but is the headlight adjuster on a 172 cup going to be the same as a Xenon unit? Only ask because there is a cup i can get parts off :( thanks in advance, Louis

Can be deleted. Just discovered the adjuster is snapped!

After fitting my PAS pump and accidentally knocking the self adjuster off the lamp the headlights are not alligned. I assumed the white allen head on the adjuster was the hieght calibration so i had a turn but to know affect... Could anyone help me out with how do to it? I realise they are self...

The rears are the same on B6/B8 setups ;) I ran B8's, they are a good road setup but i killed mine on track. If its an all out track car you need something more butch to put up with the strain. PSF ftw

No engine noise.

Caged manufacturing in somerset. There is no better as far as i am concerned

i'd put money on PAS pump. Can you alternate the pitch by dry steering?

Might be putting mine up for sale. If it interests you PM me.

:rasp:

Put your mods with the results guys...

Generic map or chip can be done with the ecu out of the car but a proper map is live and done when the engine is running

You'll find it VERY hard to sell if they are not done. Its almost a must when buying a clio for the belts to have been done, if not, the relevant amount will be deducted from the value of the vehicle

Panic over;)

I ended up paying £12 for it because i had to get it from GSF. didnt come with any rings or gaskets (they usually do) so i re-used the old one and it was fine. whack some hylomar on it if your worried

If the cambelt hasnt been done why would you not do it? Otherwise you'll have to do the aux again when you do the cambelt?
