Got my car in a garage doing work,

 

Having gearbox conversion carried out aswell as cambelt kit and water pump changed, thermostat changed, EGR removed and any other junk not needed like my Hicas Solenoids (hicas removed)

 

i have been advised by a mate to get the cam seals done as they are cheap and worth doing whilst down there. i already have vac pipes and water bypass kit to be fitted and replaced

 

Can anyone advise me on what else could/should be done that is simple whilst front is off?

 

i can then order parts and send them to mechanic :):red_indian:

anyone? looking to get some parts to mechanic ASAP :)

When they do the cambelt are they also replacing the pulleys? maybe worth while if you're not sure if they ever been replaced, not cheap though @ £50 ish pounds each.

Yeah i gave some in the kit. I also am ordering 4 Cam Seals and already supplied a water pump. Thermostat, Newer Viscous Fan, Water Bypass Kit.

 

Wanted to get My DET sensor done aswell but i didn;t ask them to remove lower plenum. As far as im aware the DET sensor harness is the only thing i can change with upper plenum off???

 

apart from that i can't think of what else to do whilst upper plenum is off.

 

My list so far is:

 

Water bypass kit fitted, (supplied)

Remove any other pipes that are not needed. ETC EGR DELETE

Gearbox conversion (supplied)

Vac pipes changed. (supplied Vac lines)

Check regarding mileage meter not working. (rewire? might be Speed Sensor)

Gearbox does not have Neutral Switch (ordering one)

MOT

Steering rack split (supplied)

Steering gets heavy after 30 secs of driving and is heavy until next restart.

Turbo waterpipe feed replaced or fixed (leak at rear of engine low down)

Water pump fitted (supplied)

Cambelt kit fitted (supplied)

 

think thats about all that can be done with plenum off?

Can be done with the plenum on, but I would do the PCV valves at the same time with the plenum off

With the gearbox removed and the egr valve the det sensor can be reached without any plenum removal.

ok cool matey. thanks for that help :)

 

will get sensor as well ordered aswell as PCV Valves

heavy steering seems like you may have a issue with the clocks or speed sensor

yeah well my Mileage meter stopped working aswell so i always thought it was a Speed sensor :) DO the gearbox's store them? If not then ill have to order one to go in my Manual Gearbox
