No mate, It was about 10pm when I finished doing it, and had already done a cambelt that day too. Just wanted to go home lol

Steve's 172 turbo was where I saw it.

Sounds like the diff imo.

Actually LOL'd.

Cheers. Yeh she's happy with them, but my god was the drivers side a ballache to get it to be perfect with working height adjustment.

True, I was more on about OEM usage.

I suupose aslong as you can get a sensor where the calibration is the same as the OEM one, you could fit a bolt in one?

They were certainly a challenge! Sir daves were using Trophy frames as I own them. Heres a pic of Emma's Fittings.. We used angle steel, and modified the lower seat base to sit at the right height. The drivers one is even height adjustable :)

Guess Its handy when a sensor fails and you can't change it.

K-Tec used to glue them in.

I'd say more..

Head off.

The mounts aren't the same. To convert an ek/dc you have to convert the mounts.

Sounds like a door/bonnet switch is playing up

money wise, its cheaper to bung in a new engine.

Distance makes no odds. On an economy delivery each depot has scope for a max 2 days holding to get it onto the trunk/delivery vehicle. pick up depot - can hold for 2 days Off to the Hub in the midlands, where it gets sorted, and the ND and Priority packages get loaded onto the trunk to...

It won't have bent valves. Con rods are the first thing to bend when you try to compress water. Compression test > replace engine more than likely

Was discussing this with chip earlier. I believe the vag setup with its turbo etc will be around 30-40kg heavier. However it will be around the 350-400 mark, so that extra weight won't make any difference.

Yours weren't even the worst I've seen Chip!

Canon 350d is an excellent choice for the money imo. Ive got one, Still struggle to use the damed thing lol

That made me giggle

Got the car back today from M+D Auto refinishers in Walton, from having the front corner repaired. Before: After Its not the blend line you can see on the bumper, but where its been cleaned off to do the paint and the rest is still dirty. All in all its a Very good job, and was turned around...

Does it dissappear when over 1800rpm?

I do all my work myself obviously, so splashing out £1.6k on an RS2/cams/Coilovers doesn't really matter to me, as I know I can sell everything on again for what I paid, if not more. I Just broke my LCR, and if I had sold it whole, I'd have seen maybe 5k if i was lucky. I've broken it for...

Re: AndyRG - Opps ive done it again! In theory, however as mines an LCR it runs different lengths to the rest of the group. As they run different hubs with better roll centres.

Re: AndyRG - Opps ive done it again! I think mine will be different length being a 6 speed box tbh, but, Info would be muchos appreciated..

I'd take a stab in the dark at Protyre in Warrington...

Renault lockers are hard b******s. You won't chisel off the collar, or certainly not on the ones I've come across.

Re: AndyRG - Opps ive done it again! The stronger rods and pins are all a myth. They have 19mm or 20mm. That's the only fundamental difference. Rods are the same across the board on the 20mm. It's all a myth that the BAM is the strongest too.

Yeh, as said it was only to tie me over until the cupra bits sold.
