Glad you have her up and running lad! Cannot wait for my setup to be finished!

Posted

ok so i literally just drove less then a mile to get some petrol , get home and look under the car and i have coolant leaking everywhere its coming from the big long pipe that goes to the pump , my guess is its either a pipe not done up tightly or something else , the expansion bottle has gone down a a bit and the rad was very hot ,

should the fan suck or blow ? and would there be anything else cause this problem ? :) oh deary eh

Posted

My fan draws the air through it, what was the temp needle like?

Try the pipe then maybe its loose and the go from there

Posted

the temp is dead on half as always dude , it didnt leak yesterday and i drove it much further lol , ive just come back from the garage doing my exhaust so maybe they have nocked it or something but tstill for the reserve to go down <--- could that happen when it leaks ? like flows from the overflow into the rad and thats why its gone down haha

im probably worrying for no reason

Posted

Yea obviously if you have lost a bit it will get sucked from the reserve into the rad, just keep an eye on it mate

Good luck with the exhaust

Posted

the exhaust is all complete now ill get a pic of the other part of the old exhaust its been cut from 2" to like 1" and i dont get why lol !

Posted

also when i changed the rocker cover i notices i only had four rubber washers does it matter ones missing?

Posted

Looking fresh, you will get a little oil seepage without the washer, think Dean @ RW Develpoments is doing a rocker cover bolt and fresh rubber set now

haha i was planing on degreasing it let it do its thing then wash it out but i aint got degreaser or a jet washer lol so ill have to degrease it n drive to morrisons

Posted

Yeah thats what i did, bought some gunk and a brush and spread it over everything, rubbing with the brush on any caked on stuff, then jetwashed it off in Morristons, just make sure you put plastic bags over the main electrics, coil pack, dizzy cover etc :)

ok so its that time of year once again and BANG this happens a MASSIVE FAIL

nearside front (front bush marked with yellow chalk) suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush **DANGEROUS**

nearside rear shock absorber has a serious fluid leak

Offside rear shock absorber has a serious fluid leak

offside rear fog lamp (easy fix)

nearside registration lamp (easy fix)

offside rear parking break recording little or no effort

parking break efficiency below requirements

*************advisorys**************

nearside rear rear wheel bearing ( wheres this ? ) has slight play

offside front rear wheel bearing ( wheres this ? ) has slight play

mid to back box exhaust has a minor leak

both front tyres are wearing

o/s/r tyre has damage to side wall

so i set about getting it sorted , i brought a new handbrake cable , picked up some shocks off a mate and some nice new polyurethine bushes for the wishbones

put the new cable on and the wheel still spins so i was slightly pissed off , tried to tighten the cable , 3 resolutions and this happens

now im 90% sure if after ive replaced this lil cable the caliper is seized im sorry to say the car is being broke

but on a positive side these turned up wahoooo
