If you’ve got access to a compressor, you could always try blowing some of the crap out of them using an airline blower. It won’t get it all out, but it should get some of it out.

Ah ok. I was under the impression you’d had it mapped in your ownership. It obviously can’t be that bad a map to have done 200k+ though.

That’s the best I could do! I have the tact of a sledge hammer and a piece of glass I’m afraid 😂 What grade is the oil you’re filling it with? You could always try going up a weight. So let’s assume you’re running a 5w40, you could up it to a 10w40, or even a 10w60. It would slow it down on the...

@Sash how much oil is it burning through? And what oil grade are you running it on?

Yes they are who you’re thinking of, and they have a good reputation. But, and it’s a reasonably sized but, they used to be together. And now they’re not.

Tbf I think you’d feel it through the car if the diff bush was giving it some, but it’s worth trying to see if you can hear owt.

Lol yeah MPSS are s**t in every way, unless they’re absolutely red hot 😂 Any noise from the rear end? Rear diff bush is a common area. You could put a diff lift kit on it and then listen to the diff whining its tits off lol

Needs a good visual inspection first to see if they’ve fucked something, or left something loose. Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen the rear toe arms left loose either, as access isn’t amazing to tighten them up properly. What tyres you running? I drove another M2 comp at work today, and...

Right ok. Multitude of potential issues there then. They could’ve fucked the rear toe adjusters.

What’s it doing or not doing?

Enjoy your retirement mate!

Well that’s a big bag of dicks!

Nah those bearings just fail mate.

@f0xy want me to ask gripper if they’d be interested in making a cw&p? If there’s a market for it, they’d do it I imagine.

Age and oil degradation will be the main reason. But make no mistake, you will be able to hear that bearing when it’s failing.

You’re welcome mate! Glad you’re back up and running! That bearing is the mainshaft bearing. THE single most common failure point I see on the jc5 pretty much.

Can’t move it mate, I can only delete so you can re-upload the pic in the correct thread. 👍🏻

Just the day mate.

I’ll see you at CSF mate 👍🏻

That’s where the higher mileage ones become a bargain tbh. Biased, yes, but you’re getting a lot of car if it’s decent spec.

Depending on year/spec/history, you’re in the £20k region. Saloon possibly a bit cheaper.

You can get csf booked now then! 😂😂

Genuine tears mate 😂😂

He’d be fine. He would float well enough 👍🏻

Tbh I would’ve already put it on 197 injectors for that sort of expected power anyway. No point maxing out 1*2 injector duty cycles when you can drop the 197 injectors in.

Glad it’s worked mate!

Yeah it makes a decent improvement tbh. Back in the day there was a French guy making semi Grp n tools - so it only advanced the inlet. That worked well too apparently, but I never drove one with it.

Better midrange grunt. You lose a small amount up the top of the rev range, but it just means you don’t have to rev it all the way out. It’s 100% noticeable

Group N cam timing and a v6 airbox direct mounted to the throttle body. Map and done. They go well with that setup

I’d like to add MND again into the vote if we could please.
