Great write up and i also love Hartside i'l never forget the 1st ever time i went up it has got to of been the best iv ever thought my cup handled, i often come back over from Penrith side if iv been to Keswick.. Think i'l have to have a drive up soon as the last time i went over it had been...
iv been doing this but still having problems even with the car parked up and engine running with the clutch pressed in its stiff but as soon as the engines off its really smooth i only tried this to see if it was any different..
so basically its crap when i'm driving along and crap when im...
As above its been abit stiff getting the car in to 1st over the past few weeks but then tonight i'm really having to shove it in to gear rather than it slotting in to gear smoothly.
Tried selecting all gears with the engine off while parked up and all was well and silky smooth but as soon as i...
They can last my 53plate cup has just clocked on to 130k today.. Bought it 2 years ago with 75.5k and it was off the road for 6 months so the mileage iv done in reality is in 18 months
my aunt's bf used to rent an old barn out on his farm... knew the blokes a few years so never ever bother'd to see what they had in there until the old bill turned up as the blokes renting were part of a ringing scam .. shame they live in Cumbria now or i'd of had plenty of space
Sure am is i've ran the car for 60ish k with the timing like that as it was done around 2 months before i bought it and its never had an easy life in my ownership, i'd be surprised if it makes it to its next belt change at 200k lol
yeah i gatherd..
What's more weird is the GOOD figure i got last year on RS tunings RR with the timing out. What i got the other week was quite abit less but paul did say due to my dephaser being rather bad it was proberly knocking the timing even further out.
Also that it may have been...
no tip ex on the cam but it certainly runs alot smoother since Dan has changed the belt it was rather lumpy before hand i.e even worse than they normally are
Little update.. Had the car in at Dan at 519 Automotive yesterday morning for belts and dephaser as they'd been done just before i bought the car back in Oct 2010 and iv covered 60ish k in that time.. Anyways i couldn't believe what we saw when everything was removed etc this just proves your...
beleive it or not andy id ran the car like that for 60k in 18 months.. it was done a few months before id bought the car but doesn't say who done it but atleast i know its done properly this time round.. was shocked myself when Dan took everything off and showed me it
Well had my belt and dephaser done today and safe to say the tip x marks were quite abit out off who ever done the belts in the past.. Il fire a pic up later and also 1 of the tensioner's position how theyd set it. Atleast i know its been done properly for the next 72k
Thats why mines in at 519 .. It was done just before i bought it 2years ago but after 18months of use its due again... Im expecting my timing to be out when dan goes to lock it all and remove the old belt as theyv used good old tippex.. Atleast i know it will be 100% right this time round but...
do alot of trips from bedford to the north east which is 500 mile round trip.. was doing just over 300 a week for work commute then daft miles just driving about.. i often do in excess of 100 miles a day when im in the north east lol still going strong engine wise
mines got just under 128k on it.. would of been well over that but it was off the road for 6 months not bad considering it only had 75k on when i bought it back in Oct 2010 lol
you'll love it.. i hated my cup and wanted rid till Dan fitted it 1day when i was over and said go for a drive... needless to say i came back smiling like a cheshire cat but that was also partly to the new front shocks lol
