Guest ep82_girl Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 my little starbo is really ill atm ;)driving it today and all of a sudden it started sounding like a tractor and lacking power she did the same before when water was on the plug so i knew she was mis-firing. well checked the plus-fine, leads-fine so im proper confused now ;) so decide to call out the rac to get her towed home. they do a compression test and find out oky ahs no comrpession in cylinders 2+3 (its 50 psi when should be 1.75 psi) so theres me in tears thinking oh god no the head gasket is only 6 months old!!!!so the rac guy (who was really nice) towed her over an hour passed my house to TurboDaves who now ahs her sitting at his. i know she can be fixed but i just feel so so sick!!! i take so much care of her and i feel so atm!!!just cant wait to have my little car back i refuse to give up on her!!!xxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 let us know if you need anything like any other engine internals. i got a fukk engine sat at home all taken apart in bits. a lot of it aint no good now as rust has taken it but some things are still good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Georgie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 dont worry about it, i wanted to kick the shit out of my car when the turbo started smoking when i first got it and thats not even a big deal!! lol, the way i think of it is that its only mechanical at the end of the day, it can all be fixed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
