you will normally see a bit of a difference between hot and cold It's also important to disconnect the injectors, and to do the test with the throttle wide open

no thats well down. I'd want to see 170psi or more.

ouch, most likely is you've had a bit of valve bounce and clipped the pistons. Compression and leak down tests as said would give you an idea. There's also the slight possibilty of one of the cam pulleys having slipped slightly, but i'd make that a secondary thing to look at

probably worth mentioning that your filter is already made by ITG

you're years out of date though. Every R i've seen someone buy recently has been an expensive mistake. £350 for a bottom end that knocks is not good value, and they're all getting that way

just sicked in my mouth

it can't do any damage, it'll just become more annoying and eventually start causing flat spots and rough running

I have nothing nice to say

servicebook/handbook wallet is often in there

it wont be 155bhp, not unless it's had a LOT of work, but it may well still be very healthy. Mk1 seats are night and day different to mk2 for comfort, Williams ones being the best. F7P is a cracking engine really, bit down on torque but loves to rev and it'll give you plenty of fun even in...

£171.11 to be exact

I've driven on them. Pretty awesome but soft as hell. Liking paradas at the moment

change the belt and tension it correctly. easiest job you can imagine

there's no chance in a million years that the CO is zero unless they've waved the probe about in fresh air.

I'd strongly suspect that if there was an emissions issue, that there still is, and you need a lambda sensor. Quite easy to test for

take a day off. just get it sorted

cleaned the lambda sensor? morons. I think you've been given a fair bit of bullshit tbh, none of what they've told you or done sounds even remotely accurate. name and shame, and report the dealer to RUK

oh mate, they're bliss now.

you forget I've driven a lot of cars down that road over the last 10 years or more ;) , your damping was not right. Admitedly it was an extreme way to test it, but it just made highlighting a weakness easier.

I'd say the damping was what needed looking at more than the springs. They bottomed out when I drove it. I've just put nice new coilovers on the rsi and I'm in love with the car again after hating my old avos for a year.

incorrect, and also incorrect that all the force is through 1 bolt. There's a bracket that goes forward of the dogbone that spreads the load very evenly. large part up, no arguement

your attitude to the replacement of parts is actually a bit deluded. sparkplugs are a consumable, they wont be covered by any extended warranty. Not changing them becuase they're not "due" is a bit silly too. I've never seen a set of plugs make it past 30k without being seriously worn, let alone...

if you're having to pull the bonnet up, it normally means the catch in your slam panel is misaligned

on the bonnet, there's a plastic handle that you pull forwards to let you lift the bonnet. Lube where it slides

vast majority of catches i see are very sticky. worst one I've seen was a 20k trophy, pull the release and it stayed where it was on it's own lube clean lube clean lube clean grease

not quite, but it can be done for over £200 less, including an oil and filter change, and both full belt kits

nice. My first car was a 1303. That car has the incorrect rear valance

:) where abouts are you? going to attempt some sort of meet soon I think

I almost bought a set of CH's brand new. Only time I've ever come close to that sort of insanity
