Long term shouldn't move much, it's averaged over a long time. Short term will change constantly. Relatively normal readings.

was the oil changed, using a genuine filter and good quality oil?

the williams exhaust manifold was an absolute shocker of a thing!! I had used all 3 factory F7 options and it was the worst by a large margin!. Utterly strangled my mk1

yes it's a special tool. I have it. Renault might do it for you, but they kept getting them wrong for me so I bought one for myself

long term fuel trim (% the whole map is ofset by based on average short term adjustment) Short term fuel trim (% the load point you are currently on is being adjusted by the lambda

Its not the spring, it's the pivot that seizes. They rust up and don't move

new tensioner fitted?

get the ECU over to me and I can get the internal upgrade done while the rest of the car is in bits

replacements just seem less reliable than the originals. Leave well alone IMO

surprised he's said it was too thick. I put 80w90 into my old JB3 when it was getting tired (crunchy 3rd) and it helped nicely. I just use ELF 75w80, it's not really that expensive if you consider it's life span and that most gearboxes will do 70-80k without an oil change

I see about 1 a year that actually needs changing. They don't need doing as a matter of course, and often you cause issues by disturbing it.

ignition map has made me giggle so much I thought I'd share it. The epitome of lazy

sent. As I've said in the email, the map is dreadful, but it'll get you running

found midges in the email archive. email me on enquiries@519automotive.co.uk and I'll bounce it back to you

if you're careful you can re-use the springs from your old pads and they'll clip in to the CLs. Laine did this to his and it stop them clunking about so much

I see a lot that people don't know have been previously repaired, but you can tell straight away. The most annoying one on a 172/182 is the front grille, they're about the same price for genuine as a pattern part, but the pattern ones are a shockingly bad fit. Slam panels for mk2 Clios are...

trying to catch up with stuff since I've moved but a few replys are falling through the net. The phone is on again more than not now so should be easier to get hold of me

Yeah I'm alive. Got flu unfortunately so I've left the phone off. Drop me an email though

I'll do you a part ex on some Pipers if you want, could do with a second set to get reprofiled as exchange units for the 197, and you'd see more noticable gains

think I have that too actually where you sent me it Midge, I'll dig it out if needed. Bearing in mind the VVT was never plugged in or activated so it's not really a good one for more than a startup

is 5mm an exageration? I'd expect 2mm roughly with the shims removed

did you ever dig this out?

2nd pic is manufacturing residue, they need a wipe before fitting, that will have been there all along

software has several default maps in it, the vw golf one is about the most suitable to tweak and get you running

Thread can be done in situ very easily. No need to remove head for that.

T30 torx, 10mm and 13mm sockets and extension. 5mm Allen key. Flat blade screwdriver. 8mm spanner. Take the battery out for easy access.

I didn't manage to fill the 16gb 4 in a year, but gone for the 32gb anyway as I use the phone more and more as time goes on. Can not turn my laptop on for days at a time these days

Why did you think I enlarged the ports?
