leave it to idle for 30sec-1minute before turning it off, this is everytime otherwise you'll feck the turbo. and same mwith starting it up, let the oil get around it before moving so 30sec idling.

the blue ones are higher pressure, and stop localised boiling inside the head. most people loose the caps, and replace them with the brown ones as they are cheaper.

where are you based?

i'd say 3000miles anyway.

thats a good effort!

just say you bought it from an internet company, and they didnt supply anything.

mpi.

best option is go with a megane or williams JC5 box.

look under the car, beside the a/c pump is a small idler, thats what it is.

Depends. loads of other factors.

yea thats fine, Turn the engine twice and make sure its all lined up, the marks on the belt WILL NOT line up after the engine has turned, just make sure all the other marks do.

They dont do them for the rear wheels.

ah, ok if its not got any air in it then the headgasket.

Its got all the synmptons of a headgasket, or a blocked hose, drain all the coolant and renew it.

and it had a few car park dents whish i wasnt happy with! just had a new gearbox as the diff circlip popped, 2 new driveshafts, new cambelt and tensioners 50 odd miles ago. Everyone who has seen thbis car comments on how sweet the engine is running, starts 1st everytime with no miss fires etc.

as i repaired the rear arch from a rust bubble, and i didnt want to touch it up, so to make it clean as a whistle, and respray it fully. Its going to be Jet black.

i will be selling a ph1 in about 2 weeks, 80k, mint interior, no knocks or rattles, 3k's in receipts, mot in nov, scorpion stainless, and a k+n.Respraying it this week.

mines on 53k, has very fast days, and otherdays just wont even leave a xr2i!

Re: valver porblems some 16v's are dog slow, others are extrelemely quick!

yea, this is only on the later ecu's though.

Re: valver porblems 1.it may have a low temp stat, or it may just cool very effeciently. 2.could be torque steer, does it switch sides on a slight turn of the wheel? 3.new switch. 4.the leak will be from the oil pressure sender, try tighteneing it! 5. most likely the spade connector on it, if...

looks a very good job, may not be to peoples tastes, nor mine, but it has been done extremely well and i would be happy with the quality of work!

1.8 16v

are you sure they are 21" wheels and not 26"?

The otherway of resetting the ecu is plipping the key 3 or 4 times.

nice! when my valver was running it ran a 120 at the wheels, but had a flat spot due to underfuelling.

gunna say doesnt seem too quick tbh.

LOL someone needs to tidy up!
