Not the yellow/brown coolant temperature sensor but the slightly smaller black one next to it (on the water pipes/front of the engine) *mines brittle as arse and has come apart but figured before I re-solder/replace it, I should ask if it actually does anything important any ideas?

okay I now have my car MOT'd and running sweetish...I am not overly happy with the brakes, they heat up big time real quick if driven hard...I want to try the 350 cars rotors, does anyone know who makes the adaptor bracket for the calipers...am assuming the bigger rotors should enable me to run harder longer with better braking and less heat fdade...i have 19 inch wheels so space not a problem...

So case in point, this zed presented with a very smokey drivers side exhaust, in fact quickly filling the workshop so something was well wrong, the owner had recently ( 2 weeks previous ) removed the engine with the help of a couple of mates and fitted a pair of new turbo`s following the complete failure of the drivers side turbo.....erm yes same side again! Having spanked the best part of £1k on the tu…
