2k over priced imo!

Thats his 'sensible' car lol Iv been out in the Mak, scary quick!

The icv comes as one unit mate, sounds like some after market unit you bought

Ah yeah the guy who runs Launch (Rich) is a mate of mine, that S8 is epic, has the V10 in it, and sounds like a thunderstorm when its opened up! He also has a 380bhp tommi Mak and a 400+ bhp Scooby and he is doing time attack atm

just checked his first post, 02 reg so will be ph2, please disregard my prev post :)

yup, a red button

under the bonnet by the scuttle panel on the passenger side

yes it will

iv done 4 t/b's now all with the idle problem, all fixed once i did my guide mate, its the butterfly getting stuck that causes it, and cleaning them out then lubing the spring does nothing, you need to lube the spindle too, or put a stronger spring on as you have done which forces it shut

well it could be a number of things mate, so it would be cheaper to pay someone to come out and do it than spend out on new sensors/coil pack etc that might not even be the problem

To be honest you need to get the fault codes checked, eggy smell points towards the cat being very hot, which means unburnt fuel is getting through, so im guessing crank sensor

How do you know its not the cambelt? Only reason is its very common for it to break as some dont get changed on time, and the aux belt is again not changed on time and can break and wrap itself around the cambelt

Does it start at all? Im guessing cambelt snapped which will be new engine time or possibly something like crank sensor

If you squint the plate reads BIG WIG lol Looks nice mate

My Dad's exactly the same mate, every time he goes out in my Clio he says 'il drive carefull' then of course he goes back to his rally driver days and gives it death lol.

Do you have any close ups mate?

More please gentlemen!

This is a reason why i run super, the saving is simply not there for me, its about £2 extra to fill up, and i get anything up to 4 mpg more running super. We all pay for expensive oils, best tuning parts etc, why skimp on lower grade fuel when you could buy the better stuff? This is all in...

Have you followed my guide mate? Cleaning out wont help if you dont re-oil the moving parts, have a look at my guide, if that doesnt solve it then id look at the ICV

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 Really small update: Well there isnt a huge amount I can do at the moment as im waiting for some more bits to arrive, so i had a quick clean up of the engine bay and when I removed the slam panel i noticed a bit of surface rust: So that had a sand...

Yeah he gets bored quickly like me lol, so likes a change, but this Liner is hopefully a keeper :)

Its alsoimportant to replace all tensioners, both for the cambelt and aux belt, which is included in the price Danny has quoted

Hitting the brake didnt help! lol Proper s**t yourself moment

Yeah i remember when he had that,noticed it was out on track yesterday too :)

Only know Dan really mate,met them a few times though :) I loved the Beemers when the pickup was still an estate and still had the roofrack on it lol, in the two shades of brown,looked epic

looking good, that Meggy was rapid!

Both mate, makes it stand out, and reduces weight :) And he's a nutter lol

Sounds even better inside the car that out mate! Car looked great and nice to see ya, and yes my lil girl looks like me, she is blessed really :cool:

Ha lol what car isnt!

My thinking exactly
