i do work at a garage and i have a trade card lol. dont like using our own oil though we only stock 10/40 and 5/30

it sort of bogs down and then you can ride it out? had exactly the same thing mate couldnt figure it out for months as soon as it warmed up it ran perfect. never missfired as such is just bogged down as soon as it got higher up the revs as if you switched the ignition off then would cut back in...

carbon canister purge valve knackered

well if you change your mind deb come round i'll whip the angle grinder out ! at least we now know we can fit vee's in our brake rollers.. wasn't too much of a ball ache at all really

no just disconnect the battery and leave for a while first i always make sure the key is out of the ign to.

its always worth just unplugging the ecu aswell and look for corroded connections etc

check all engine earths aswell

ecu by the sounds of it fella.. could also be a wiring fault.. but thinking about it it would need a fault in both the coil pack wiring and the injectors. as they are both triggered seperately by the ecu but its all calculated from the crank sensor input. i suppose theres a backhanded chance...

yank !

lol you cs'ers are never happy

What makes you say that :eek: !!

hahahaha no problem craig.. couldn't see light under that splitter. amazing what you can do with an angle grinder!

well i already got that oil in it at the mo, its not due another change yet but think i'll get some for the freebie could even go as far as saying its worth dealing with the intollerable moron staff they have in my local branch

is the socket set remotely decent? if so i think i'll go get some oil could do with a little tool kit to stick under a seat or something

yeah all worked out in the end. its about the first job i've done on the car that worked first time lol

magnatec is crap oil.. strange stuff aswell if you take an engine apart thats been using magnatec everything is purple

why ???????? unless theres something wrong with all those suspension components what an utter waste of money. may aswell just send it all to me via paypal you'll get about as much benefit from it!

can be done, but if you have to ask its probably not something you'll be up to doing yourself. long as you can physically close the bonnet over it you can put ANY engine you want in it.

what, still? :rasp:

not always ive had them do it only on start up in the past. undo the drivers mount yank the engine forward and do it up again

yeah the car weighs sod all so it passes with flying colours mainly pedal feel im impressed with its rock solid and its higher aswell

Was on a bit of a spirited road test today think you saw me lol

and pedal feel, response through pedal.. basically everything is improved. was a bit of a nightmare as i was figuring it out custom (cat171 will tell you lol) but got the in the end. i only had to make up 2 new quite short brake pipes in the end.. used a distribution block (basically 2 tee...

do you not bother cleaning it just whack a coat of paint on it a week lol

look in the engine bay, gearbox on your right engine on your left its right where the gearbox meets the engine, bang in the middle on the top might need the airbox out the way you cant really see it its more done by feel

top of the bell housing where it bolts to the block

every 2 years regardless of milage while you are there maybe some braided lines erm pollen filter give all the wheels a wobble and a spin to check bearings bushes etc etc regas aircon if you have it

tbh if you need a guide for doing it you shouldnt attempt it imo. just look at the engine it becomes blatent. what pinky has said is pretty much as much of a guide as you need

or theres a bloke on ebay that unlocks them.

what were the plates roughly? sd something or other?
