  1. My buddy had a problem like this in his corolla and it was down to a relay had failed
  2. Unfortunately i have tried that aswell back in last august I went down and had a meeting with him and told me 20th of september the has to be done i need it gone out of my yard his wife booked holidays for the 12th so it wasn't done for then I no I delayed it a bit cause the first week of october the timing belt snapped in my girlfriends altezza as much as i didnt want to give him the job I knew he would be able to sort it cheaper we only got her car back about two weeks ago. I'm going to try and get down there this week if i can the only balls is its 80 miles down and 80 back home
  3. There is nobody else here in ireland that i'd trust to map it plus i've put all the money i have in to it i don't have money to give anybody else to finish it
  4. Right where do I start. Well i've been trying to get my glanza finished for a long time the problem I have is the mechanic building the car is pushing on in age now I'm not sure if he even wants to finish the car I keep being told that theres only a weeks worth of work left on it but to me he keeps coming up with excuses as to why hes not working on it. So do I wait and try and finish it if it gets finished it should be a serious car with power figures over 400bhp at the moment I haven't driven the car in over two years My other idea I have is to try and break the car there is a lot

Unfortunately im i getting down to my limit now on waiting too see when its suppose to be finished I may possible open a breaking tread sometime in january to my surprise it might get fully done unless there a forecast of flights cows if peoples are interested just send me a pm and we can get stuff sorted cheers graham
  8. I have a question about putting up a post and just want to run it by one of the moderators first to make sure everything is ok and I don't cause any hassle Who would be the best person to direct my question to? Cheers Graham
  9. I had this problem before and I was told it was the clutch disk and that it wasn't straight like there was a bend in it if that makes sense the mechanic told me to drive it for awhile and see it should go out of it as the clutch wears down but if it didn't that the clutch would have to be changed. I was lucky enough that it did go out of it about a month after I had it in 1st and reverse. the only other thing I can think of is check the timing and the fuelling of the engine
  10. if you still have these after Christmas ill take them they are exactly what I was looking for a few months ago they would come up a month before christmas

  14. Thats not a bad idea i'll email him thanks
  15. Cheers for that but I'm trying to avoid having to get an engine if I can
  16. Right my girlfriend has been having some really bad luck lately one such moment was the timing belt snapping on her altezza. I'm hoping that someone out there might know someone or put me in contact with someone that has a 4 cylinder beams head I'm being told by my engine builder who we brought the car to that the buckets are damaged they go in where the valves are he needs 5 or 6 of them. We are searching the country here for parts and cant find anything its like these engines have just disappeared. If anyone can help it would be hugely appreciated. Cheers Graham
