yes one like that does interest me and i have the money waiting.do you prefer pounds or euros.let me know your preference and that youve received my e mail.

thats what i was thinking.its not like you could pop into halfords and get one.imagine the spotty twats face behind the counter if you asked for one. :D

done this myself and used some old towels wedged between the dash and the screen to hold it in place.dont force them to much as the screen may crack.

sounds like valve stem seals.i would replace the pcv valves first if they havnt been done.

probaly not but brace yourself for the shipping.they have a minimum fee for shipping as they are in the middle of nowhere.i bought a key blank and a gearstick lower bush and the shipping cost £30.bearing in mind the parts would have gone in a jiffy bag and they shipped it in a box 6"x6".when i rang and complained i was told that"hey buddy everbody has to get paid".get a quote for the shipping when you order so you are aware of the cost.

by your description it sounds like the engine had seized and youve dragged it in gear to free it off.its more than likely this would have snapped the cambelt.this is why you have no spark or fuel as the cas is turned by the belt.

you need to remove the whole bush.quickest way is to set fire to them.the centers will fall out and you can collapse the outer sleeves in with a cold chisel.thats how ive always done them.

hi mate.the kit is a hks copy.go on their web site and you can find an image.altezza in the uk are about to market them.how much have you found the kit for as the hks one is $1900

the most likely cause on these cars is piston or ring failure.as long as the block is salvageable then it will make a good base for a rebuilt engine.id try and get it a bit cheaper though.

has anyone tried shells new v power petrol.its advertised as ferrari fuel for the road.probaly ferrari price as well.what octane is it?

the fuel pump needs a signal mate from the cas unit to work.as soon as the cas reads 1degree it latches the fuel relay.the pump will only go when the engine is cranked.all i do is plug a spare cas into the cars loom and turn the drive by hand.

a misfire under boost or a juddering as it will feel is a classic symptom of a major boost leak.carry out a boost leak check.

the easiest way is find a 75mm diameter drink bottle.cut it in half.get a tyre valve and insert it through a drilled hole in the cap.jubilee clip the bottle around the maf and hey presto!!.

that looks like the plug that operates the solenoid that resides in front of the battery.im sure it controls emissions of fuel vapour from the tank.

go with chunk on this one.dont rate synthetic oils for zeds.for more modern engines yes but on older cars or cars with higher mileage it usually just causes smoke problems are weeps past seals.

ferrari v6 engine.worth a fortune if you can find one.love em. :bow:

bump!

80s radio.you didnt miss much i can assure you.

i know mate,its a tt and i drive it like i stole it.the car sails through the emission test no worries and the engine is in good form.i have no idea what chip it has but when consult is set to fuel maps it has a large red ramp on the fuel graph which is a non standard perameter.

looking to upgrade to uprated tubs and intercoolers.my car is j spec and came chipped to the uk.will i need to fit 555cc injectors and how much worse does the mpg get.my car is a daily driver and costs me over £200 a month as it is and work is only 4 miles each way.anyone who runs these mods give me some input please?.

the noise you have also in the video sounds like a starter stuck in.we had a lad at work who replaced a gearbox on a van but didnt transfer the dowels over to the new box.when the van started it squealed very loud for a few minutes until the pinion released from the ring gear.has the engine been out of your car and is the starter sat square on its fixings.seen zeds with the starter fixings cross threaded a few times.

do you agree greg that it sounds to harsh and the pump would have seized with the noise its making.i wondered as you do if it was a bearing in the box and the noise is travelling along the crank?

never red!!.loads of people i know say red will curse the engine,paint it red and it will blow up!!!! :D

SERIOUSLY though bud i would investigate a bit more before you wade in and change the oil pump.not the best job to do at home.have a listen from the rear as well around the bellhousing.

you could tell people you had a blower fitted. LOL :D
