ollie ryan Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yeah, I make sure I don't sit in traffic, its been alright but now the weather is warming up I'm worried so phoned nastyrash 2003 today who told me what to look for and I found the switch hanging and all damaged, and the fan worked before going to the pp boys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollie ryan Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Well what Chris said to do was put some wire in the fan switch and just earth it out and see if it comes on, if the fan comes on then pp boys did fuck the switch but it's been smashed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollie ryan Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 when they first fitted the eninge and the oil feed return pipe hadnt been fitted properly and leaked cause tyhe turbo to fail they just ignored all my phone calls and texts, i also [aid them to come to my house and fit a fmic but the weekend they said they would fit it they never turned up and then said the were bussy for the following 2months not getting involved with them, i no of a few other people who have had major problems with them so im not the only one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nastyrash 2003 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 yep just looked back on your photos of the engine fresh out on the floor and fan switch is intak, so to me it was either done in transit or wen engine was fitted,wen u told me how fast thy fit it i started to get worried. remember its not a race wen doing these jobs, thr are lots of checks to be done after installing.

ollie ryan Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 got the apexi air filter fitted yesterday and what a pain in the arse that was, the silicone pipe for my air filter relocation kit was the exact same size as the turbo outlet so a total pain in the arse to fit that back on, the only way to do it was to remove the oil filter so the car had yet another oil change, 2nd one in 6weeks ,but now have fresh oil, a nice new air filter relocation kit and a fresh air filter that is massive!the reason why i changed filtersand the new filter relocation kitand all fitted, getting very close to the radiatorafter that was done i gave the car a good clean and wax but still wasnt happy with how clean it was so today i gave the car a good clay barand this is the clay after doing just the bonnet!and the final result after a clay bar and another wax with harly waxand then i finally got my arse into gear and have the bumper near enough finished, few little bits to do tomorrow then primer it and paint it hopefully with the livesport fendersand as the bumper should be fresh tomorrow thought i would clean up the fog lamps as they were shittybeforeafteras usual let me no what you think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
