Preferably off the wires that turn the lights on mate. So spur off the clock lights. That's where mine are going. Then they're only on when it's dark.

I need my own pad. Life at home is too easy but the one thing that bugs me, the ONLY thing that bugs me. Not having FULL reign of the garage. I respect that other people need to use it but how am I suppose to build engines in there if I can't leave it for a week knowing that noone has moved anything lol. I don't want to move out with someone. I fancy getting a coach house. My own space and my own garage for me bikes and cars....that, for me, is the dream.

Yo! So I tried doing a little researching before I started this and knew roughly what had to be done but was unsure about how to go about it. Being new to these cars I wasn't sure what needed doing. So I've decided to take the time to contribute back to the forum and hopefully add some value. Difficulty: EASY! So if you've got a GT Turbo (Probably similar approach for Glanzas) then you'll notice that there isn't an oil pressure gauge. If you want to go about installing, oil pressure or temperature then you will need a way to tap into the circulating oil. The oil filter sandwich

Sorry but ^^^ THIS^^^ is a lovely snap! (to clarify the black and white 91) ​ ​ ​

lol. Sounds like a good ask

Exactly my thoughts pal. Alright well this is really helpful. I want to spend the money sorting this car out. Hopefully I can do that

And yeah lol. I was a little gutted to be honest. Could tell straight away when they picked up the phone. And they aren't all that way but I mean this car wasn't even running an air filter and there was no mention of this in the ad. And I sit you not. There was some dirty old pair of boxer briefs in the Boot! No Lie!

Kk. Well there was paste on it when I dismantled it so I assumed that's what needed to go back. And a quick search on here that's what I found other people were doing.

Pakistani people... Oh the existing studs are long gone lmao. Now using stainless steel hex's as is the same with most of my builds lol

Wow, okay that's interesting. So I'll ditch the gasket then. I take it you aren't exactly torquing this up then. Say 10 Nm ought be Enough?

Hhhmmm it's only a 700 Mhz computer. Still puts out HD video though. Apparently it has the processing power of the Original Xbox. I haven't ran any PS1 games but my guess is it would be clunky. Runs Genesis games perfect though. And plays HD footage pretty sweet. Just takes a while to load it lol. I've wired in the Starlets existing arial into the computer so I can use FM

Shorty I know you ain't driving with no papers!

Oh yeah, all that and I don't even know if the damn thing works lmao! Never had a stereo fitted to this car and the system I'm building doesn't use what you'd might call conventional methods lmao!

Mate I had a look at the wiring, honest. And I just ain't prepared to even attempt it. So sorry dude. It's literally a weekends work stripping the WHOLE car out and I just simply haven't got the time. I personally want the wiring gone cause it's weight. But it goes through both doors. Sticky taped to the window motor wiring, through grommetts. I know I'd just end up ruining the cars electrics doing it. Believe me when I say if it were a two minute or even an hours job I'd have it done for you. But it's not. It's tracing through all the wires to 6 speakers all around the car. Through the dash a

Congrats ​ Now wait for those messages to come flooding it, as a mod myself on another forum I know how many messages I get, and my forum is nowhere near as big as this haha! ​

Yeah it does have that Oring round the thermostat but I can't see that actually stopping water through the metal since it doesn't even act as a gasket. ​ ​I don't have access to a sniffer and can't be bothered to go to a garage. I know that is really lame but the evidence suggests there is something going on. As said I'm expecting that the engine is damaged. The person I bought it from was adamant it wasn't the head gasket and I reckon that is cause he knew it was damaged! And I don't want to stereotype any such person but I've heard this a lot about the kind of person who sold me the car th

Done and done!

​yeah cheers will bear that in mind. I'm going to start stripping it this weekend. Get some progress made hopefully, and eventually sort it out and have a running motor. Can do loads of maintenance as well whilst I'm at it.

Now sold please lock

Unfortunately I'd agree on the likelyness lmao. But two seconds have a look. I know some people have said they have the wiring but no amp so it's possible. Could be like me you see. Removed from the car. I don't want to sell it but otherwise it's just going in the loft for ever and a day and probably thrown to the tip.

How likely is it to be the cylinder. Surely the head gasket would be the most likely Scenario? I'll get the head pressure tested. How do you go about cylinder checking. I mean with the engine in the car that's going to be solid. I think it doesn't warrant spending that much time and money when it's probably just going to be the head gasket. If there is anything I should be looking for in the inspection side of things please let me know. Thanks.

Well look cheers. I will finish this thread when I've solved the problem. Then hopefully some else finds it useful.

That's awesome lads. ​ ​I've been stressing about this leaking for ages. If I'd thought to ask earlier I would have save myself a lot of time. Shame I'm asking this Sunday...and not friday night. Lol. Would have had something to show for today otherwise lol
