yeah i think it was.

10w40 semi, and put a new coolant thermostat in it

i was getting 280 miles to £30, in a laguna, with a fully loaded boot

it should smooth out power delivery, give you a small mpg improvement and make the midrange feel much crisper

was probably a non genuine pump. I've found that many many times, if you replace a gen part that's not faulty with a new copy, you'll likely have issues. I built an engine a few years ago, new everything. The plastic impellar fell off the water pump after 400 miles

rofl. just use 10w40 semi. with all due respect, its a low performance 1.2 8v. You dont need fancy oils. If it's tappy from cold, you probably need to get the tappets adjusted

we did that about 3 weeks ago

quoted for truth ;)

cambelt has to come off to remove the cam cover, a leak from the cover is fairly common, doesn't mean it's been disturbed. Aux belt has to come off to get to the cambelt.....I'd NEVER refit an old one, idiots if they did Sounds like the aux tensioner is sticking/seized. That would have been...

if you pay by instalments

they MAY, in the event of a total loss, require any outstanding balance to be paid though

thr f3p is a great lump. Really not far behind a valver for pace and the economy you can get blows the 16v out the water.

coops turbo valver (260ish give or take) did 12.83, dan.wil did 12.87, redrocket did 12.92. All 1.8 turbos, redrockets having a smaller turbo

pads also fit other cars. Cut the wires off, they're just wear sensors

not for less than £600 I can't

i hope she doesn't want the range Rover because she thinks it's safer. ALL 4x4s perform very badly in safety tests. I've put a child seat in a 205 gti, a 200sx s13, and silvia turbo s12, and none have been any trouble. It's easier to put a kid in a seat in a 3 door, the front seats fold forward...

nah, it'd get to the first corner and think it was a cup in the wet ;)

SC 172 would destroy a Vee, not even close. low 13s, maybe high 12s down the strip

well worth anyones time and money to fit a new stat, on my own cars i expect to do it bi-annualy

the 182 system is pretty quiet with a cat in place, the 172 system isn't

yeah that's with the insert removed, dont know if it was a design revision etc etc

se7en172 had it happen on his cup when his uncle did the cambelt, turned the cam with the locking tool and the insert span. Yoz's old ones didn't have the insert and were about an inch shorter as a result. Did have pictures but dont have them now

nothing wrong with shrick performance wise. Dont like the insert in the exhaust cam though, if it moves it throws the timing out, fail. (seen it happen, 4 other techs/garages tried to find the running fault) Not worth the extra though.

a mate of mine called Sid did this years ago for drifting. used to eat torque tubes, MAJOR weakness

FLOL. Surprise fail

i recon that needs some time spending on the ignition map

they CAN'T be a tooth out, F4R timing isn't done by teeth. It's eminently possible they didn't use the pulley locking tool however. Doesn't look like the timing is out by the shape of the graph though, probably too conservative mapping

they all have specific timing figures so you could technically optomise them, but the tools are pricey (k-tec have them). Generally the stock timing tool works just fine

with ITBs you want 421s, I told you that months ago

take it to Troy, he mapped a friend of mines ITB'd Astra GTE years ago, that gained the nickname Zeus. Very good at what he does
