Diary of a ph1.

Replaced the centre section of the exhaust on saturday (£80) new part didn't fit properly so needed a bit of light modification but it's all good now. The old one was knackered and I can see why I was down on power at the rolling road day !
As near as makes no difference snapped in half ! that's how it was on the car too, I was embarrassed to drive it to the garage !
Just ordered a set of rear discs with new bearings in which should cure my bearing problem
I snapped the back of a disc changing a bearing on Friday so I need them really...

So that explains the noise when we were dicking about in the tunnel up at the airport on friday!

Keep up the good work, was actually going to buy a silver ph1 next week but the dude has put off sale for a while.
Could have turned the twins into triplets tbh!

Sounds better now
although I checked my oil and water earlier and my oil was just above half and water was just under minimum :S find it weird as I changed the oil when I got it at the start of October but as I said to you I only put 5L in.Think I'm going to have to do another oil change with proper oil and flush the cooling system. Maybe an excuse for a new expansion tank as I've always secretly wanted a nice shiny new one
When my rear discs arrive I'm going to purchase some braided lines and dot 4 fluid and overhaul them all I think ! Did you attempt yours today mate ?
ps. Show me that pic the police helped us take LOL
Robbos, do itt. :clown:

:O !! xnope they go off on there own. mine did when i added resistors.
f**k, that means I haven't got the right resistor this resistor thing is doing my nut !
I noticed another odd fault too, every now and again (Say 1 in 5) times I turn on my headlights, the drivers side one doesn't come on ? but if I turn them off and on again it does.
Wtf?! I'm pretty sure it's not a loose connection, what else could it be ? a problem with the HID ballast ?

looks sweet ph2 rear end would finish it off
Cheers mate, not too sure on ph2 rear end myself to be honest. I fancy a cup spoiler but I don't think I'd get along with the bumper. Only reason I'd have one is for a recessed exhaust probably.
Think they look a bit odd on ph1's.
Another picture of mine for the thread that I like..

ah f**k, not good buddy
Right went out at lunch and checked my oil on the dipstick, that looks ok. Maybe a bit low ?
Had a sniff of the expansion bottle and it just smells like a kettle, no oil or mayo present the cap is spotless.
Wiggled the oil pressure sender (Contortionist much ?) and when I turned on the ignition low and behold
"Oil Ok"
"000000-"
This morning it said
"Oil Ok"
"000---"
So there is deff something wrong with the oil switch, went to GSF and ordered a new one.. £9 so I'll pick that up tonight.
On the matter of the dissapearing coolant, the car has had a new rad just before I bought it so I don't think the rad is leaking but there is a dripping from behind the rad on the passenger side.
There's like a black cylinder thing that looks like a pump or maybe it's part of the horn and water is dripping onto it but when the car is running it drips water slowly but consistently.
But if it's just a water leak surely the system would keep draining past the expansion tank ? as is the expansion tank just goes to practically dead empty and then doesn't go down any more.
Confused.com, it's deffinately having its water pump done with its belts.

I guess you mean the green oil switch on the front of the block as you were referring to it as the oil pressure switch? If so, it has nothing at all to do with the oil level display on the dashboard...
All its for is to show the Oil Pressure (red oil can) warning light on the dashboard if the engines oil pressure drops low when the engine is running. Its just a simple switch that closes and completes a circuit when its not getting enough oil pressure against it from the engine...
The oil level comes from another sensor down the front of the engine, at the bottom. Its a sort of dipstick that goes into the sump.

Unsure on the part number, doubt it would be expensive though. I can find out later if you still need it
Its just like a dipstick with a screw on the top and it screws into the block at an angle near where the sump is bolted on. Then has a connector on it for wiring...might be a bit of a pain in the engine bay though!
