See you take the piss... then this s**t happens: Karma b**ch lol

They only supply one now but there have been a few variants

Et tu!!!!

Because track car ;)

I think they'll look good Dave but that wheel... so much need lol

Anymore of yoyr cheek and I'll put your business plan in to action on Friday x

I *may* be able to go out for an hour or two if I can get a pass from the wife... this deffo happening?

That is either air in the coolant system, a blocked heater matrix or a faulty head gasket.

Re: pedal going straight to the floor then returning, no leaks, bled many times. HELP How has he fully drained it? If there is air in the module then yes, it will need some professional level equipment to run the purge commands. I'd still get them bled properly first by the two man and pumping...

Yeah, thats proper jeb ended. How old is it again?

Andy, I promise there is no gasket. That was most likely for the breather plate rather than the actual upper casing. If thats where you're leaking from then its a diy fix but I'd have a proper look first. Common places are: Cover to cylinder head mating face VVC solenoid seal

Most likely yes, its common but there's no gasket to change I'm afraid its a sealant. You will need to remive the timing belt and camshaft pulleys to be able to remove the cover in order to clean and reseal it to. Not a job for the faint hearted I'm afraid (or the light in wallet dept either)...

Yeah, we talk a good talk but Polish is always "busy" (which when decoded means "I'm trying to fit in childrens clothing cos I look hench"), Kieran is like an international IT consultant now so never has time for us anymore, Simon blatently did an insurance job on his phase 1 so he didn't have...

Very true but for the price of a genuine oil filter there's really no excuse. Air filters and cabin filters I also only fit genuine units but I get them at a really good price.

They're screwed on mate. My last Mk1 toy: http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p158/MicKPM/?action=view&current=100_4429.jpg I bonded my Williams unit on that with SikaFlex and it never moved as drilling the tailgate isn't for the faint hearted. Mick

Hmmm, this car looks rather familiar. Welcome to CS Martin. Mick

On a Sport? No... generic F4R from other vehicles, yes it will work

Sounds like a signal error making the ABS module think there's a wheel locking which is making it modulate (hence the noise and pedal feel). Diagnostics to see what each wheel signal looks like should help finger the offending wheel. Mick

Re: pedal going straight to the floor then returning, no leaks, bled many times. HELP Tony hits the home run... fill the resevoir, open furthest bleed nipple and pump until you get fluid then close that point and move to the next. It helps to do this with the aid of a friend so air doesn't...

You didn't complain last time... peruuuude

I'm game but can we do it one weekend when its warm so the doggin spot/nature walk will be open?

They not fitted that for you yet? Jesus, I'd be kicking off at that ginger tosser

Warning light flashes how many times per second, one or four?

The seal is a compression fit rubber seal which over time goes flat, brittle and stops sealing. This normally results in a major-ish oil leak over the gearbox and on to the floor but occasionally oil sneaks into the coolant jacket to.

And you're still going to need diagnostics to see what is causing it. It could be a faulty H02 heater, incorrect coolant sensor value, cylinder no.1 recognition not completed, poor fuel pressure or a plethora of other things that you can neither see or hear without the aid of a computer.

It varies from garage to garage. We charge £45 for an hours fault finding as I hate charging for "diagnostics" which is nothing more than code reading.

The burning smell isn't a good sign I'm afraid. Really, its one of those where you have to see it but I'd guess something has gotten wet. Does anything electrical in the car still function (central locking, lights, heater blower)?

I wouldn't even do that, I'd just say buy an R27/R26 or other faster car and be done. We've got a tCe on the drive and everyone looks at me like a rapist when I say tuning it is just a waste of time/money... sure, it'll do 170hp and blah, blah but its her daily and if I wanted to waste £3k...

Phase 1's don't have half the electrical problems of the X65's like the Phase 2's. No UCH, No silly TB and pedal setup... just dodgy IACV's and the odd corroded relay that you can actually change. All good innit fam

Proper diagnostic session to start with chap, not a code read. Had one in yesterday that was just using more fuel than it should. After 5mins poking around the ECT parameter was showing 50 degrees C when the engine was actually sub 30 degrees. New ECT and all good again. Don't always expect...
