  1. Right today I had a try with the air lock idea, and it did seem to lose a few bubbles, but couldn't keep the rad cap off long as the level was rising slowly but surely. The temperature gauge would appear to be working, as when I was refueling it did go up and the heaters warmed up with it! But as soon as I got going down went the gauge and temperature of the heater!
  2. Anyone see the Vtec turbo one on there, may have ended now
  3. That's what I gathered you meant, ok thanks, I will have a look at doing this in the next few days when I can pop to mothers and use her hose, I don't have one at my place. Will have a go with bleeding method tomorrow as I'm not a fan of the cold! Thanks for the info, mch appreciated!
  4. I got an ssqv with an insert and another one not sure on make I'd be happy to sell one, ssqvs adjustable other is not I want a greddy type R really
  5. Whats procedure for bleeding on starlets, and by putting a hose on your bulkhead what do you mean? I have a faint idea. Will double check spade connection, I'm thinking the thermostats most likely ok as it is giving warm air so it must be opening, temp gauge is probably ok, it does fluctuate but mainly sits off the dial (cold). Yeah Jono I was thinking of getting a SARD quarter temp one, I had one in my old starlet. They are a nice £60 though lol.
  6. I used to goto Tech was a few years below you I believe but recognized your name I'm from Dover.
  7. Recently brought a Glanza, I noticed most the time the heater temperature isn't very hot, it is warm but not as you'd expect. The engine temp is usually below the gauge but does crop up to just over quarter, I'm guessing this could be down to thermostat, although it supposedly recently had one and there is a spare in the boot (brand new). I felt the matrix piping going through the bulk head and they're warm, also it would appear the cooling fan isn't kicking in but I may be wrong I've just never seen it active.
  8. I went from a K24 Glanza to a Ibiza cupra with a little bit done, cupra was nothing in comparison, so it's sat on my mothers drive, and I brought another Glanza. Fuel and tax was very expensive! Jon Are you from the sandwich area by any chance?
  9. I'm after a face lift bumper preferably in the silver with blue tinge colour (sorry can't remember exact name) and possibly the optional extra splitters which split in the middle and follow the contours of the bumper. If in Kent or around Kent can collect. Thanks in advance!
  10. This is exactly what me and my friend done he's a mot asessor, and mechanic and I am qualified vehicle mechanic and engineer. It was actually from your county, went to north Benfleet.
  11. Thanks gave it a good look over, only notable faults were mainly aesthetics. Bartered him down to £1550, perfect!
  12. Hi, it's been a while since I sold my glanza and I have decided to look at one this afternoon. It's on 64KM Mix of miles and KM has mot's to back this up, he said. What I would like to know is what I should be looking for before purchasing it. Thanks in advance!
  13. Hmm thanks! Makes it easier whats the dealw ith replacing to one off an audi or something rotating hosing or anything? And I take it ct9 won't fit? Cheers
  14. I found your post ages ago which said they'd fit to another forum user unfourtunately I cannot find any of them on ebay. LOL! Hmm I wonder if the local breakers yards have any audi's in with these on, can anyone tell me what cars they were actually fitted to? Quattro's is all I can find :S
  15. hmm tempting aswell. I wonder if I can find one in the area what about actuator side of things because at the moment ive got a sard c2 external waste gate could i continue with that?
  16. Does it fit the flange, of k24 I read somewhere that it would? If this is the case it may be that I keep it as ct9s are easily available I need to have a car or this car sorted for Tuesday really! Thanks for your kind help
  17. Hello, last night my k24 decided to seize. I am VERY close to trying to sell the car. But before I do so if I can find a readily available turbo I shall replace it asap I need the car for daily use without it im stuffed! So what can I fit in place of my k24? thanks.
