Hi there, where do I start, Old box is toast and just bought a replacement, hoping that it will last a little while until funds can be raised for a manual conversion, I have a UK TT and the replacement box is off an import, are there any decent guides or can anyone help with some pointers before I start stripping the old one off! is this an achievable task or do I need a Dr of car mechanics, I have rebuilt heads and resonably confident with a spanner; however i feel a bit nervious about this one!

Well after over 2 years waitng,saving,buying,shouting and sweating.I can finaly say theres light at the end of the tunnel:dance: My engine is now finaly built and awaiting the final bits (next week) After studying my options and loads of head scratching i decided to go all the way and go BIG. With all the work and money i have spent on the car in the last 2 years i didnt want to put the engine back in only for 6 months down the line to take it out to change the turbos again. So after speaking to Ian (Mac 1) and Peter (Nend) i decided on the Greddys. Spec as follows. Greddy TD05 18G turbos Trust Wastegates Pentroof style manifolds Sard 850cc injectors B…

sorry to bug use again about oil pressure. Just had the car serviced, on starting it up now the oil pressure guage sits just off 0, but once i drive the car the oil pressure picks up and sits at around 2 psi, then when i go into neutral the oil pressure drops back down to just off zero. Is this a problem or is it a good thing?

Hello. Was just wondering what you guys think it should cost for a front bumper to get sprayed and fitted? Was quoted 300 today which i thought was pritty expensive. I then asked how much for a spoiler sprayed and fitted and was told about the same, which again i felt was quite expensive.lol. Any thoughts on this guys?

Hi I'd love some advice being very green when it comes to any working knowledge of the large lump under the bonnet. For sometime(couple of years) I've had a problem with bolts loosening up on the manifolds but I'm told by my previous garage these were too inaccessible to tighten right up but equally due to the inaccessibility they would not work completely out. Well now the exhaust is realy blowing and really affecting acceleration at quite low speeds (60-80). My new garage say bolts appear to be loose on the turbos too now and because these and the manfolds bolts are impossible to get ut they need to drop the engine to have a good look. Does that sound r…

Firstly, huge thanks to Mark Topless for arranging the meet at Virginia Water And 2nd, Cheers to all the members who showed up at the meet. Good to see some of the newer folks too and nice to put a face to names. Out of a possible 22 names from the 'i will be there' i think we got 19, Even though the weather wasnt that good, we all made an effort. South Central and South east, we know how to have a good meet and get a bonus of watching a Merc burn. Felt really sorry for the owner while all of us watched, and Bullit and i just kept taking pics................. Plus my my daughter (Holly) got a souvenir........U know what i mean. Cheers Stu

Hey all My car had the plenum removed and painted by the garage. When they put it on the Dyno it blew out a gasket. When I asked them if they had put new gaskets in when they put the plenum back on they said that the gaskets looked ok to them and so they just put some silicone on them and put it back together. My Question is if they try and charge me to pull the plenum again and put ion new gaskets should I pay? Or should I tell them it was their own fault for cutting corners? Bloody Monkeys! :slap:
