From what I can remember of oulton in my Clio, I don't think anything less than 3rd is needed?

What makes you think it's not normal? Temp gauge is sitting where it should be? Ambient air temperature is going to be pretty high aswell now so it'll take longer to cool, and probably feel hotter than it is

2008

The first half of the gauge will drop pretty quickly, then it'll slow down. My old 172 would show just one bar on the gauge after putting a tenner in, even though that's pretty much 1/4 tank

I honestly think I'd cry!

I don't think it has, no I think I'll just swap to the dunnell rail I think, and chuck an oil cooler on

Shouldn't be on a 2k mile old engine? I took it out for a good thrash yesterday and temps never went over 90 degrees. I'm gonna get the lead for the ECU and plug in and see what temp the sensor is seeing. Then do a coolant change and see what happens

They look mint in silver!

M3>15s

eBay probably, if you've got someone who can fit them cheap enough

Christ! That's not a cheap do!

It was with circuit days mate. Get free pics aswell with them

Just looked at the dunnel rail and it's not that expensive. Will do a bit more reading up and I'll probably swap to that if it is going to be the better option

Cheers @harvsurrey appreciate the comments. I did a bit of reading last night and apparently Zetecs do like to run hot, and 100 degrees is ok, but it certainly rose above that. It's running the raceline water rail so hasn't got a header tank. It's probably running the original coolant from when...

Lol that was a rush job this morning to get them fitted before MOT. Will be sorted

So after it's MOT this morning I came home for a few hours kip, and then set off for the evening session at donnington. Really enjoyed it, but it certainly wasn't ready to chuck straight on the track! But at least I now know the niggles that need ironing out. Could only do short stints on...

If you've got the space to keep one, and have a daily, then just do it mate

Cheers Owen

Yes mate, I just wanted a throttle bodied Zetec car, no matter which it was and what it looked like. I don't think anyone under the age of 60 would of bought mine based on its original look :) No idea about the likes of Westfield/caterhams mate, @Waitey and @harvsurrey are your guys for them

Yeah i think you need to buy on engine/build quality etc with these, and just ignore what they look like. Then put the time in to make it look exactly how you want it to. One thing though, it's a f**king pain in the arse to put fuel in!! The filler neck is at a stupid angle so you have to...

MOT passed with flying colours. Garage was mint and got me to do some of the testing with him. He said it's one of the better built ones he's had come in. Was pissed up in the garage after the England game till 1am this morning, and then back in there at 6am finishing bits off. Donnington park...

Yeah new wheel is on the list mate! Current one is s**t and flimsy as f**k

Interior is all back in now, and the dash and aux switch panel connected up. Just needs a gaitor for the handbrake. Throwback

You need to jack the rear beam up. That'll compress the springs and then stick the bottom shock bolt in

Roughly 15:45 earlier on

I can if needs be

They probably said the same thing 30 years ago

Funny you should say that....was looking last night....F430s going for around 50k. Now just need to find 50k

MOT booked for Thursday morning. Donnington park booked for Thursday evening. Just need to stick the windscreen back on this weekend
