I now have a lambda! Big thankyou to Melvin

That'll be Melissa to you. No problem, happy to be of service on adding the finishing parts. you didn't offer me a brew though. Fail.
That engine bay is looking pretty special though

Were did you get thet pic of my dads trator lol
You been hiding in the crops again :rasp:

Liking the bay too mate
3 weeks to go and ill see it

 

[Whiteley]

Picked up downpipe from being welded, went home, fitted it, driveshafts in, shocks on, down on wheels, sorted.

Take it up the road and the f'ucking clutch slips like a c'unt! That'll teach me not to cut corners again. FFS

 

[f0xy]

Did you adjust the pedal/ratchet and cut the pedal stop down slightly?

If the biting point is right at the bottom and its stiff to go into gear, that^ problem causes it.

 

[Matteh]

sounds like he's gone too far the other way...

reset the ratchet and go again!

 

[Whiteley]

I've not adjusted anything, back shortly!

 

[f0xy]

He says its hard to go into gear.....same as what mine did before i trimmed the green stop thingy and re-set the ratchet...

Just explained to him how to do it, hopefully good news will come back

 

[Matteh]

oh, he said above that it was just slipping

 

[Whiteley]

Taken a mm or so off the green stop, and let the ratchet out 10 clicks... still slipping almost the same amount. Apart from trying more clicks, any other options? Apart from engine out and clean/replace clutch.

Grrrrrrr.

Engine seems sweet though, runs nicely.

How much should I expect to pay for a Valeo/LUK/OE spec clutch?

So frustrating

 

[Matteh]

seems reet

What clutch you using? isn't the same as the valver one, cos that was working?

 

[Whiteley]

172

 

[wookie]

[f0xy]

just had a text, apparently the clutch is improving and i quote.......



'its mint', LOL

 

[Whiteley]

:evil:

 

[Daniel]

Curley wurley yet??

 

[Whiteley]

Well I've been out, but no pictures as proof. So strictly speaking you still have a chance

 

[Daniel]

Hows it go???

 

[Whiteley]

I'm still grinning now half an hour later...

Rapid :approve:

 

[Daniel]

FLOL! Awesome!

 

[Whiteley]

ECU is good, cheers Andy. Revs to 7.2k warm as it should, 6.5ish cold. Engine runs sweet. Mega chuffed!

It just took some more miles and slipping to burn away whatever was on the clutch before. Still doing it a tiny bit, but infinitely better than it was.

Boxster S byeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Matteh]

Glad its working mate, so are we ready for marham now then or is there other things to do before.
