There's nothing to be paranoid about the fact your getting burning smells and a whine after having your belts replaced by a mate.
Seroiously mate get it to a specialist and then inform your mate of the errors made and see if he gives you any money bak
If he said the aux kit was too hard to replace then this would be the least of my worries if he's been playing with the cambelt area aswel. Timing out etc.
If I were you I would get it to a specialist and doagnose the problem before you end up with a shagged engine
It'd be nice to go into halfords to collect everything as I'm very rarely in the house so waiting for delivery is a pain.
But if they don't sell anything worth gettin then I'll have to mail order.
Right so I should WAx before egp?
Just a dam good clean on a tight budget.
Products I currently own are a good wash Mit, auto glym extra gloss protection, auto glym srp and auto glym shampoo.
So I'd like to use what I've got and would like to give it a clay and possibly a wax to apply after the extra gloss protection.
So...
Hi there, I'm going to do a mini detail next week as the car is looking a bit shabby at the moment lol.
Currently I use a sheepskin leather to dry my car after a wash. Is this ok or will it cause damage?
Also do halfords sell a decent material for Buffing off the wax?
I fancy getting my cat nodded so that it just slides into the janspeed 2.25 center section as I'm sick of the standard joint.
Would anywhere around south/Yorkshire do this?
I was thinking rs tuning but thought they were more focused on making 300hp beasts than little things for the poor...
probably the dephaser.
my does it but its not as bad as some of the videos guys have posted on here, plus it quietened down alot when id put some new good quality 5w40 fully synth in it.
The rear lambda (one in the cat) does nothing at all towards the running of the car, it just takes readings.
So yes you can take it out and use a blanking plug but this still won't guarantee the light doesn't come on as the lambda will be getting extreme readings from air which the ecu may pick...
if the alternator is spinning (ie engine on) and its only reading 11v at the battery then surely its going to be either the alternator is fubard or a bad earth or power cable at some point in the curcuit.
I doubt it, the springs are under so much tension when fully tight I can't see them rattling,
Only thing I can think is maybe to keep the heat of the manifold away from the springs so they don't get that hot they loose their springiness
