As title what is the pipe circled in red for and where does it go as there doesn't seem to be one in my PH1 the outlet on the manifold is there but its got a cover on it.
Depends what grade oil it is. Where was it changed? The engines are whiney and what some people would call tappety but the tapping at idle tends to be the injectors.
Do a search for dephaser pulley problems and check it doesnt sound like that.
If you can get your car close enough to the house to run a usb cable out the window to the car from your PC then there is no reason why you would need a laptop. Failing that just take the pc to the car!!
3rd gear syncro tends to go first so if it crunches while changing into 3rd from 2nd or 4th then I would say the gearbox is nakered.
However part of the deal could be that you dont buy the car unless he gets the linkage tightened and the problem goes. If it doesn't go after the linkage has...
Rentech lubed my cable for me and its allot quieter now. I had a new cable not that longer ago it wasn't too bad to fit. It can also be caused the the plastic bush that the clutch release fork pivots on becoming dirty and worn over time there not much you can do about this as far as I am aware...

This had me in stiches earlier its definately somebody taking the p!
Its not really advisable to do it yourself but there are many tuning companies that do it. Most people recomend angelworks matched inlets. Do a search for angelworks in google for there website as I can't remember what it is!!
If its a similar design as the PH1 172 then you have to open the glovebox and in the botton corners you should be able to see the tabs that slide across to lock the door into place. Just slide them the other way and it will come off. Hope that makes sense.
I dont really see the need to go past 7k rpm apart from in first gear if your really gunning it from standstill, as the drop in power is very significant after this point and as said it promotes more engine wear.
How low does the centre section of your K-tec stealth sit can you get a pic?? Mine seems to hang really low in the centre. I also thought the stealth bit that you've taken a picture of looks like an elephants trunk on the PH1 so I took a hacksaw to mine as high as I could after the bend so its...
.....of not what to do to a PH1!

Just been to Rentech to have a new key fitted and Mike said the whiring noise and the whistle noise between 1-2k is normal and nothing to worry about. Though if the noise is noticably loud then it may need to be checked out
