Started removing my engine today
i am changing the rad so i suppose its easier to get to the compressor from there, not too fussed about the lines as they dont weight that much, want to strip off the rad and fan to allow more air flow to the radiator and get rid of the heavy ass compressor :D and just as i do all this we will have a heatwave :tongue:

Thread Closed - Well done
the problem is we "gave" all our manufacturing away. one of my old customer was garrett turbos in skelmersdale and with the governments help they were relocated to romania to help the romanian economy??? with a loss of 2000 jobs a few years ago :( and this has happened to lots of companies across the uk of which lots went to eastern europe.

More work on the car today
As it failed the mot we have been working on it. First it failed on the rear fog, it has had the rear reverse light wired as a fog but it just lights up both reverse lights and not very bright so took it all out and blanked off the top reverse light so its much brighter now and you cant tell its been blanked out so thats one job done. Second was to do a boost leak test, can hear a big leak coming from the passenger side low down, couldnt see it so could be near the turbo?? Worse fail was it has a split on the passenger side inner arch?? not sure how its happened, doesnt look like its been in a crash so not sure if someone has hit something hard and its gone but the original weld has gone so we tried to weld it up but the welder is having an off day LOL so need a new welder now :cry: Its detting at higher boost so checked the timing and it was advanced slightly but not a huge amount, tbh i was expecting it to be highly advanced but was only around 17 tdc so put it back to 15. Also fit new a few bits i got the other day ie new boot carpet, cardboard and spare wheel, fit the new nose panel and now ran out of time as the footie is on shortly and mikey bean should be around prestons way on them m6 with some more goodies for my car including my 99 spec front :D Mike
