thats the thing i'd rather not be in a timed event i just need a bit of land so i can set it up first. anybody own an empty airfield? lol

:rasp: collier row earlier today - was in my white 182.2 lol.

you need to jack up both wheels, spin one and if the other wheel turns the same direction its an lsd

little trick of the trade,, pull the fuse out, get yourself a 12v bulb holder and bulb and crimp some male spade terminals on it and plug it in where the fuse goes. if circuit is ok you should never have more than a dim glow.. if it lights up bright (which it will in your case) you have a short...

as title, want to mess about with maps etc and do a power run with rs tuner tommorow.. any ideas where i can go? do northweild have some sort of arrangement like that? cheers

i still think its firing order, theres no 2 ways about it pulling a plug lead off at a time WILL make a difference esp if its running on 2 or 3 as pulling one strong cylinder off should stop it running all together, how quick did you have it running when you did this test?

think i may be going the same route mate, my magnex offended me looking at it too. it offended me even more cutting it to peices getting it to fit...

sounds like you have got the firing order wrong mate,,, one easy way to tell. adjust the throttle cable so its running a tad faster than normal idle, pull each plug lead off the coilpack one by one (again if you are carefull and the leads arent breaking down it wont shock you) but if you are...

nothing wrong with reusing pistons??? they dont magically shrink or expand just by pulling them from the bore problems like that check the ring gaps before they go back in but other than that its fine.

and whats the fault first of all?

the full code is PFR6E-10,,, the -10 on the end means they are gapped to 1mm.

the fact that it only does it hot try changing the gbox oil if its only happening when the oils getting hot and thinning out it should help at least

plugged this in for the first time tonight, bit curious about this in the programming history, does this mean its previously been mapped??

yeh out the bottom is the quickest and easiest way imo.

you should be fine may be running a tad lean but if it was me i'd feel perfectly happy about driving it 100 miles.

mine has done this a few times,, i've still not sussed it out as it seems to be quite intermittant and not nessecerilly linked to rainy weather or aircon being on (car dosn't even have it anymore. very strange

yeah sounds about right, i wouldn't charge much less even as a private job.

i use bosch in mine also,,, when someone prooves to me why not to then i may go along with it. all this ngk or die rubbish is nonsense. and yeah the plugs that were in my engine origionally gave me a bad flat spot at low revs and that was less than 70k

why is it sh*t having to put the key in and turn ignition on before pressing the button? all the db7 variants are like that!

all 3 garages i've worked at my trade insurance has been through axa i beleive

mine sounds lovely, i cant really comment on before/after fuel consumption.. but the first weekend after getting mine running i used a tank and a half

no mate you are dead right you want it perfect. leak test is the best option as you can see where its loosing pressure id imagine its sticking valves

it wont be the head itself. have a look in to how an engine works it will prevent you from being done over it could be the head is warped,, but its unusual to get the same reading on each cylinder. if this is the case its just a simple skim we chare 40 quid for this plus the head on/off job...

after reading this i've bit the bullet too,, mine was shipped today

plonking it in the disc positioning it on the press and pulling the lever a few times takes 2mins including a tea break

you can reuse the old ones i have done it on my own cars in the past but i wont do it for customers as pressing them out tends to press the grease out of the bearing and it shortens its life a fair bit and cutting the disc takes too long

both ways you have checked for spark and fuel arent conclusive at all, do it properly. take a plug lead off the coil pack and get somone to crank it it will blatently obvious if you have a spark. with fuel you can either check you have fuel pressure then check for inejction pulse by putting a...

ben you want to convert it to run off a speedo drive or the other way round. if it has both the sensor and abs then yeah it can be configured to take the signal from either. my setup came from a car with abs and had a speed sensor also, i removed all the wiring for the abs etc and my speedo...

bang on, couldnt agree more trying to buy a reliable renault for a grand is probably on par with the challenge top gear did with the supercars for 10k

they handle fantastic standard,, if yours handles shocking i'd first look at rectifying its faults
