Ok here goes. I managed to get my plenum off today after a mind blowing task so i was just wondering do i get rid of all the pipes underneath as im going to do a water bypass or are there any vaccum hoses there.

I know how you feel mate ive only had mine just under a year and only driven it a handful of times the rest of the time im trying to work on it or thinking of what to do next.lol

cheers guys for the heads up. Im sure if i have any probs some one on here will be able to help with more info. Its the case of kill or cure..LOL.

Cheers guys will give them a shout as soon as i pluck up enough courage to tackle the job.

planning on doin a plenum pull plus water bypass. Just wondered if any one on here knows what size hose is needed and lenght plus what will benifit from being changed for new whilst the jobs being done ie gaskets valves and other hoses..

cheers mate will give it ago even though it dosent seem to over heat but no harm in checking any way.

how do you do a sniffer test as i have never heard of that before

hi all. Just wondered if my pcvs could been cleaned as a bit of white smoke on start up and tic over or is it easier to just buy new..

Cheers guys will give it a go later today and see what happens

:scared:i recently Replace o rings under balance bar and re connected all the hoses and when i started the engine all was good until a small amount of smoke came trickling up the back centre of engine with a hint of a oily smell just wondered if any one would know what this was and could point me in the right direction as to fix it.

you could try putting a 10mm bolt through and a big socket at one end with a large washer and nut a keep cranking the nut and see if it will pull the bolt and bush through. spray it with wd40 first.just a suggestion but worth a try mate.

Cheers mate. will keep that in mind when i get round to the job..

Do you know where to get good ones ie gasket and hoses from.

Cheers mate. I see what you meen is a bad job to tackle..

Just wondered what the advantages are bypassing the water hoses when removing the plenum as i might tackle this my self as i have heard that most of you seem to be doing this if you haven't already. Would also like to know what to change whilst its off ie gaskets hoses ect..Any advice would be gratefully recieved..:wacko:
