The turbo will still be spinning but the positive pressure its generating will just be leaking out, it probably sounds different because its a different pipe thats popped off. From what you've described I'd guarantee its an intercooler pipe or hose that has come loose or got a hole in it.

One of the intercooler pipes has popped off.

Elephant won't insure you with a fmic never mind a td04, so if you do get insurance you won't be able to do your td04 and have it covered properly.

Wait there I'll just go get my violin out.....

Nice! My Dad's got a similar thing - a Fisher Fury with a Honda Fireblade engine, its pretty mental.

Cheers sparky. It was over 10k last year, its probably around 12k with buying the car the repairs and mods. I'm too scared to work it out exactly! If it wasn't for all the repairs it would be a complete weapon anyway!

Nope the reflets have been there for aaaaaaaaages. Cheers mate.

A little update for today, I thought I'd better give the car a bit of a wash since its running again and since its not been washed in 6 months! Just as I'd finished washing it a courier arrived witha nice item.... my new glanza s bonnet, thankfully it didn't get bent (too badly) enroute either. So I fitted that quickly along with some bonnet raisers from carter to help with the cooling. Thanks to Akki for it and Idrees for spraying it: Also a bit of a spot the difference on the rear, anyone guess what it is?:

Hmm might give that a try, although I repainted my needles and don't know if they'll still light up as the paint that was on them looked like special reflective stuff. Also the bulbs for the indicators in our cars are the offset pin one's, mine were anyway?

260bhp and 200atw would mean a 30% loss through the transmission which is huge! Even 20% is quite high for a fwd and that would mean 240bhp for 200atw. 230bhp should be achievable on a properly setup hybrid and thats nigh on 200atw with normal transmission loss.

Well not all car's have a cat, pre 91 uk cars just get a non cattest and so do imports pre 95, but if you just mention its an import to the tester hopefully they'll just do the non cat test, all test stations test the same.

Its all been covered before mate, just do a search and do some reading there's plenty of info on it all to clear your mind up. One thing though, 2 bar on a hybrid?! Erm no, it will kill itself!

Glanza's do, just for the front doors, not that you get a four door glanza.

Did you put new bulbs in when you fitted the dials and if so what ones? As my needles don't really light up at all anymore.

You should angle the "Sparky" writing the other way so it looks like its graffiti on the wall, would look cool that way.

Not a stupid question, no I didn't I had it in the car just incase though. I just told the tester since its an import it just requires a non cat test which he did and it passed no problem.

Bleeding the brakes on these cars is a pain in the arse, I've done it numerous times and not got it perfect yet! However it is probably your problem. The basic procedure is: Get a friend to help and sit in the car, check the brake fluid level and make sure the system never runs dry, top as your doing the bleeding with fresh fluid. Start from the wheel furthest from the master cylinder and work closer, so passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front then driver front. Get your friend to pump the brake pedal ten times then hold the pedal down (bestto put a piece of wod under the pedal as it w

It wasn't from keighley you noob. Its only been off the road this time for a few weeks, actually quite a short time by its standards.

Amazingly the car passed its mot today, just a few advisories on the brake lines and rear discs, despite the fact it was leaking oil, coolant and petrol this morning before the mot!. I sorted the coolant and fuel leak however the oil leak is now quite bad but I still think its just the sump needing resealed. The smoking has all stopped though and the oil is almost clear of the coolant but it'll get another change when the sump is re-sealed. I'll probably put the car back on the rolling road next week too and check the fuelling again aswell as getting another power figure to make sure all

Cheers guys hope it goes ok too, mine was due and booked lie two days after the engine went pop. So it really needs to pass, my usual "friendly" mot'er was booked up too, so I hope this place is kind to me with the emissions etc

Well I got the car out for its (very short) maiden voyage tonight. First thoughts - the engine runs really smoothly, the brakes really need bled, the clutch really needs bled and the clutch is quite aggressive, it just judders trying to pull off slowly. It also seems reluctant to go into gear sometimes but I hope that will go once the clutch is bled. The car started to smoke quite a bit once upto temperature though, which I think is still down to there being coolant in the oil (due to me getting the hoses on the throttle body the wrong way round when trying to start the car and spraying coo

TD04L @1.1 bar Engine power - 248.3 ;)

Yeah I took the girlfriend down to alton a couple of years ago, we absolutely loved it,long drive in the glanza though although the roads around it are fun. Rita was good for the speed but nemesis was still the best, went on it a few times. It was good when we went as we hardly had to que for anything, I hate it when you have to wait ages to get a ride (teehee).

Good luck tomorrow mate, I'm sure you'll do fine as I already said.
