Why not use a smartphone? Can then just email it through to wherever needed.

Yep

Try driving a GTi-6 or a Rallye. Absolutely terrible.

Nope, that wouldn't cause it. That's in no way an amount of oil to worry about...

Honestly, if you feel like bringing it down south, I'll give you £750 for it: :)

Looks decent that. Desperately needs a splitter though!

Will definitely be oil.

Yeah, there's a chance that it might s**t itself, but there's a chance that might happen with every £600 car. Just most of them don't have those kind of specs to roll around in, sidewayz!

Not surprising really - where else can you get a 55 plate, 230bhp, RWD car with leather etc for £600! Bargains.

I'd be having that if you weren't oop north!

That's proper. Best wheels. Only let down is that it's not a 550.

Done any damage to the crank?

Nope, don't bother, and yes, the chain is supposed to be that loose. (:

Haha. What a mong/ Chop it off in there and slide it out tbh.

Just boost the standard engine. Much easier.

Not a common one i've seen tbh. That said, could be from anywhere round that area..

Yep, need to break the thermostat seal to get the lot out.

Shut your eyes when driving and you'll not notice the difference between the two.

Fingers crossed the reports aren't true.

Good price that tbh considering it's a specialist. Someone on the driveway will always be cheaper. With that comes no comeback though...

Yep, change the clutch and release bearing. £200-250 for someone for cash IMO.

182 will be a rocket ship.

Depends what you're used to!

Ah, it's dropped a valve. On that basis, my assumption would be the dephaser isn't the culprit, and would be alright to re-use.

If a dephaser was the issue, it'll come out in bits. lol. My bet is it's nothing to do with the part, it was the work completed/fitting. That said, i'd check what was broken on the old engine before i used any bits. Whip the head off. My bet is valves have said hello to the pistons. Timing...

Yep, if they're in good shape, no reason why not. You'll need a new water pump gasket though,

Whiteline and Sabelt.

You can't 'disconnect' it i don't think. But i believe some people have either used two exhaust pulleys, or verniers in BIG spec builds. On the most part (ie, if it's a road car in anyway) pointless - you'd lose more driveability than you gain in anything else. As you lose VVT iirc.

Which side of London are you? @Scrooge is Tilbury and will certainly beat that. I'm Surrey.

Yep, loosen the alternator big fixing, then loosen nut 1. Remove belt. Refit in reverse.
