the dephaser being nackered shouldn't knock the timing out, if you tell him to change the dephaser your timings still going to be out as he's ballsed it up.. a fucked dephaser will be noisy but the car will still run spot on.

how much for turinis

on the motorway its just as quiet as standard, pulling to the redline it's just marginally louder than standard, half throttle around town it's marginally louder, but low down and mid range on full throttle it sounds like thunder it's a perfect sound!

mine was intermittent on my flamer too, worked when it wanted to, new switch solved it. remember removing the switch starts a flow of box oil, have plenty rags on the floor and be quick lol

chief engineer gave it the green light too after she gave it a thorough inspection!

oh my god the sound, its just perfect!! - vids to follow when the snow clears!

I've had loads of them and never had a single issue, always found them bullet proof, they horror stories are usually someone trying to fix a problem like a failing fuel pump by running injector cleaner thru it and kicking its nuts in for 1000 miles!

been on the 200mb package as a trial for a few months its been awesome!

ebay ones are good quality in my experience, as above tho preset sizes

need deep pockets, f**king mk3's

R S Murray gets a good name on here, Paul from RS Tuning's old man I believe?

That would be my line of thought, injectors mixed up and require coding

granted my trophy is in a heated garage but I take it out for half an hour once a month to keep it freed up, always starts no problem and not had any issues, left my ph1 sitting outside for 6 months that year we had a bad winter loads of snow etc and it was fine bar some mould

I'd pay upto 1400-1500 max if I was on the look out for a good base of a cup

mileage aside, as I said above its a proper minter in the flesh, I bought it blind on eBay and couldn't believe my eyes when I got it home and saw it in the sunlight the next day!!

centre exhaust silencer failed, akrapovic evolution ordered :)

2k jesus, yeah I paid £970 for it then sold it on for £1500, it's a brilliant wee car for under £1500, I put a wee bit of cash into it and it's a good spec

that's a dci 106 with the 6 speed box, more expensive road tax on them £120 from memory, the mk3 in general is 10mpg worse off like for like driving conditions *GOING BY THE TRIP COMPUTER* not so sure real life but not quite as good. however they are generally a bit more reliable fuel system...

remapping is fine if you use a company with a good reputation, suppose its the same with all cars these days! ive had 3 mapped DCi's and they have all drove so much better, giving better economy!
