^^^^^ move this to the thread i've just put up mate jdm stickers/decal thread

just out of interest what have you seen or got on your car or someone elses or on the net

love my EP

fat chicks make it scape

don't know maybe have a look through members rides

this one mate

ebay

its very cold outside and same happened to my voyager on the motorway dropped all the way down to the blue

keep us updated james and let us know if you fix it and how you fixed it

no prob hope you sort it keep us updated if you fix it and how you fixed it for other with a same/similar problem so they can use the search instead of asking again

not sure but cant imagine it doing it much good as if the engine is cooler so will the oil which mean it'll be thicker it'll find it harder to lube ya turbo and internals i wouldnt go booting it untill its fixed

yeh best bet if it shut jam a bit of wire in the flat bit of metal that the springs holding shut and dangle it in boiling water if it drops off its opening fine then add cold water to it it should the start to close if you have to add alot of cold water for it to close its fucked or jammed but there that cheap just replace it

warms up fine mate just drops when i drive it lol

could it just be the cold weather ?

not really as the thermostat should shut when the water temp start to drop keeping the engine at that temp if the thermostat dont shut it will just keep cooling the water more and more

not sure were about on the engine but follow the top hose from rad to the engine and it'll be round the place were the hose connect to the engine will have 2-3 10mm bolts holding a cap over it

if it takes a while to get warm prob thermostat

starter contacts fuck up on them, quite easy to replace. also check charge rate at the battery and at the rear of the alt as could be a wiring from alt to battery, go halford and get them to drop test ya battery to see if a cell is down also check engine earths as they can cause slow cranking poor starting problems.

luke

replace the thermostat with a new one common fault its stuck open meaning its alway running water into the rad to cool it no matter what the temp is at hence taking ages for it to warm up

luke

If its still on the standard actuator uprate it as it will make a big difference esp on the motorway and speeds above 50-60mph as the standard one is PANTS! hks adjustable one set to 9-10psi will give you a huge difference without hitting fuel cut and it will pull all the way to red line best mod i've done so far on my auto

luke

ohh my god!!! erm thats got a bit of a crack

So we still set for 1pm then

fine with me mate not to sure if the lads coming from a-far will come late though

thats quality

inbox full mate

lol @ james falling classic lmfao

Your oil level prob went low very quickly and you pulled over straight away were markoos couldnt as the hard shoulder was compleatly shut off so he carried on driving hence why it caused damage.

As soon as any red light comes on. Any dash, it should be dealt with stright away, its red for a reason.

Drop the oil if it has white metal in it the shells have gone and prob cam runners to same happend to my gt4

RED lights mean warning stop rite away

amber light mean somethings wrong but you can carry on to a safe place

took on the iphone as it was 7am on the last day of work

my old gt4
