Sorry to see that mate. So he actually went up the kerb and hit you or did you take the pictures ater you moved the car ?

The problem was Spark was there fuel and pressure were there, Air was there but the compression wasn't. I think the inlet valves were so far gone they jsut couldn;t create enough of a seal when cold to get the car started. :(. Still, once I get back I'm gonna treat her real good and never abuse her again .... yeah like **** :D :D

What does agog mean :confused: ? :D ;)

What does ummmyyy mean :confused: ? Is that good ?

And people won't call you a freeloader when you ask for advice either :D :D :D :D :D :D ;)

LOL Si, I've slipped Bob a few quid to accidentially swap the engines over so your's should come out at about 400 bhp and mine will be a loverly 550 - 600 BHP :D. James, I got a little penny racer of my own mate, but it's the graphite grey one :(. Still I can always play around with Cerina's NA which now we have figured out how to set up the AFR, goes like stink. Steve E, Didn't see you there mate, I got there a little later (about 16:30) you were probably long gone by then.

Whenever you change a part in the engine especially when it's connected to the sensors I would. You may even find that the car performs better.

Hi Mate, Well it was 50 miles I had to take her. I phoned a few places and they wanted in the region of £300 - £350, But my mate put me in touch with someone and I got one for £135.

Excellent. Well hopefully that was the problem. Did you reset the ECU after you fitted the new temp sensor ?. Touch wood that that's the end of it :rofl:

You tried it when it's warm yet ?

Look under "Stoney wood" !!! ;) :D

Also in for some top secret mods :D. Saw a few few engines with people names on them.... Ajay, 51x, Phil they were all there just sitting around waiting for something to happen :D :D

I'll miss you !!!!!

Not bad mate, will have to see them in the flesh though ;)

Something else to think about would be to loose the ridge in the middle as well !.

I'm happy :D

.... for women Sorry girls I couldn't resist :slap:

What do you think of these wheels ?

That'l be the one ;)

You need to do a few tests to see what cylinders are the problems. Get yourself a cheap plug from Halfords (a £2 one will do). Take out one coil pack at a time and test for a spark. You may find ones, that don't spark. If so try changing the coil pack over for one that worked. If it still doesn't work then you need to check the wiring and the PTU. If all of them spark test the coil packs again but using the plug for that cylinder. If still no luck then check the injectors by removing the CAS and turning the ignition on (not starting the engine), turn the CAS slowly and listen for the injector clicks follows by a squirt or petrol.

Check back here over the weekend mate I'll be puting the Trax2003 vid together which will have loads footage from your track time.

If you want I can call him and get him to get in contact with you !

Yep done that too :D. But as we all know it comes off 10 times easier than it goes on :D. Still not lined up 100% but it will do for now

oops :slap:

Well it was a small socket rather than the wrench itself. The reason I couldn't get it out with a magenet was because it was actually in the intercooler itself. !! :eek: So I took the fornt bumper off and took the intercooler off and this is what I found.
