All of the ECUs and columns are the same as far as I know with colouring not representing anything specific.
Are you using a looped or DCI rack? I have come across this on a looped rack before where the fluid hasn't been drained properly and it was being force through the valve. If you leave...
Sorry Darren I didn't write the above as a moan, no key board worrier here! I am often pretty astounded when I see garages say "we only fit genuine parts", shows a level of naivety in my eyes.
Pattern parts could indeed be poorer quality but wouldn't be OEM as they aren't made by the OEM...
When people ask about whether they're any good they should know that a vast number of manufacturer parts are not made by the manufacturer and that there are some simply mammoth OEM suppliers which some people won't have even heard of. Realistically, when you buy genuine, you nearly always buy...
The airbag ecu doesn't control the immobilisers so you probably cut a can line. The wire hub for the can network is in the section which goes down to the airbag ECU.
😂 yep, I bought it like that and it works a charm!
One week into this and it’s all working very nicely. No back ache from the monitors being at the wrong level.
Good chassis, mentally cheap to work on, best car forum going, huge following, loads of affordable aftermarket parts.
If you want a road car the 182 is very very well specified for a car of that age and is a very nice place to be. Change all that and it can be a very raw track car.
You can...
That's part because of the monitor arm, although I can adjust it out, I think (middle and right on same arm). But at work I have my phone under there so I'm weirdly used to have that one a bit higher!
Nearly set up now, waiting on a display port cable for the last monitor. Frustratingly the monitors only came with HDMIs. For now two will do. Quite a large set up. The monitors massively overflow my desk but who cares, this is now like the workstation I'm used with everything at the right...
It appears my last update would also be the last time I washed the red shed.
A couple of months ago a rare flame red cup spoiler came up on here so I snapped it up and now it lives on the back of this turd. It finishes it off very nicely and the dci really wants for nothing more...
@incy-spider is bang on here. A lot of people are pretty uninformed about turbos. They're awesome and can be reliable if built properly.
Half the people who build them do them on a pants car to start with so everything breaks. It's pretty obvious things like the clutch might need changing. In...
Thanks Darren, I ended up going for this one last night. Unfortunately there is a massive delay on monitors so god knows when I'll get those. Until then two will have to do.

Help me!
Need a 3 monitor graphics card, have no idea what I’m looking at. Not used for gaming, just work. Ideally not mental money.
PC has an AMD 8350 CPU AND ASUS m5a97 r2.0 mother board.
Monitors take HDMI
Thank you
Thank you everyone for the kind comments :)
I'm a bit behind the videos so here is the one of me building the engine :)
Snetterton 29th February
In the build to Saturday there were still a few small things to sort and thankfully I had a couple of spare days leave to get them done.
First up...
the procedure in clip is as follows. I did mine with Clip recently with a pressure bleeder also attached for the second stage. for each caliper you need to get out approx 200ml for the fluid to have fully passed from the MC to the bleed nipple.
I did two passes on the bleeding section (second...
Lidl £15 lots of feature of much more expensive chargers.

Let start where I left off, at the end of last weekend with quite a list of things to do. After having them for years, with the removal of the bonnet release cable I had no choice but to finally fit some Aerocatches, god that's a rubbish job!
Sadly on the Sunday despite my best efforts I just...
Interior
The interior has now been finished off nicely and even if I say so myself the dash pod is wicked. As always, I've wired everything up to maintain the OEM modular wiring and added connection blocks to the pod to make sure it could be removed easily. On the pod I've got a switch for the...
Time for an update on here as I can't tolerate being in the garage for a minute more!
Progress over the past couple of weeks has been a little slower than planned but thankfully I'd built some flexibility in to the schedule which now means we've used up all the extra time to get jobs done...
I got mine from lidl 10 years ago and it's still going strong

Few quick updates while I'm on the PC. I've had a couple of days off work to try and make some headway and keep to my schedule but even with this extra time it's not easy!
Got the turbo back from Alex on Saturday. He changed the backplate after I broke it getting the core out of the turbine...
