  1. Where's abouts in Wiltshire you from dude? I work in Wiltshire and live nearby!
  2. Your right mate, rule of thumb is that the oil starts to become ineffective at 110C. So if your going to be running higher temperatures than this, you need to make sure you get a good oil that will work above this temperature.
  3. Blue antifreeze has a recommended change interval of 2 years and red antifreeze is the longlife coolant that has a recommended change interval of 5 years. Red has more/stronger corrosion prevention basically. I'm sure mixing them very slightly is ok, but if you are worried then flush it all out again and run a hose pipe through your cooling system. Take the car for a drive with 100% water in the cooling system, and then drain. Then fill with your desired coolant antifreeze mix
  4. Looking good buddy! Make sure you get some axle stands! Imagine if you were under the car and it fell off the jack!
  5. Unfortunately i can't make this anymore, the V is still on stands waiting for brakes! If it goes ahead tomorrow, then i hope its a good day. If its postponed until a later date, then i should be able to make it
  6. If you were closer i would snap this up to use as a track slag!
  7. Looking nice Marc. You enjoying the noise in vtec?
  8. Sounds like theres something wrong with your glanza then mate lol, I used to beat Corsa VXR's in my old 106 gti!! and my glanza at 1bar on CT9 is a hell of a lot faster than my old 106gti!
  9. It is not the customers fault that you will lose out on mould costs. That is between you and the supplier. A customer has rights by law and within their statutory rights to ask for a full refund if the item hasn't been received. You'll have to sort anything out with your supplier after you've given refunds. As if they are at fault for slowing this sale down so much, you could possibly get compensation from them.
  10. It won't be running 155bhp mate. Mine before it was mapped had everything done but still on stock ECU was rolling roaded at 159bhp. So as I said, you'll be pushing about 140bhp mate.
  11. Well i'm telling you the cars 496.7bhp so i think you should say that instead. In all seriousness, your probably pushing 140bhp.
  12. Looking good bud. Where abouts in Dorset you from? I live near sort of near Poole. I saw this GT for sale a while back, my mate was interested but never ended up going to have a look at it.
  13. Have you tried Idle Control Valve? Or could possibly be a vacuum leak in the system somewhere.
  14. How come your going to be selling in a couple of months? What you guna get next?
  15. My next door neighbour has built a whole house and an outbuilding in this time lol
  16. Oh i wasn't taking any credit away from us!
  17. Think there are a few Starlet owners around the Milton Keynes/Northampton area mate but not sure about Wellingborough.
  18. Have you tried putting a condom over the front end of your car? I heard that works ...
  19. As JimmyMac said could be the engine coolant temperature sensor playing up. If you use the EOBD2 (Diagnostic Plug in). Go into live data, and look to see what temperature the sensor is reading the outside temperature to be etc. You'll soon hopefully spot something that indicates what it is.
