  5. Well, was going to france and spain tomora in the zed,however its still in bits awaiting the turbos (3 foooooking weeks) so we have to wait until early august now,gutted:(good thing is making it two weeks now as we have a mates appartment on the south coast for a week :) imported zed 3 weeks driving, feels like a year off the road :headvswal
  6. steve did you manage to get the exhaust fitted mate?
  7. cheers hellraiser i will do ,i duno if this makes a difference but we did the test by cranking the engine manualy as its on an engine stand at the mo
  8. b4 it went in to have the turbos changed it ran perfect cold star was on the button hot start was just the same,didnt feel slow or slugish ,was missing a bit on low revs just b4 it went in but that was down to injector connections needing cleaning up once that was done perfect again
  9. mate phoned me yesterday afternoon and said he had done a quick test on the car but the guage he was using had a leak but looked as though one was giving a slightly lower reading than the rest,panic set in so was about to order a set of pistons on monday but thought we had better do the test again with a decent guage ,i picked up another guage this morning to confirm the engine is more fooked than it already is and did the test again.All cylinders came up exactly the same 75 psi !!!.something has to be wrong here because if 75 was the correct reading wouldnt the car not run at all and if it did there would be no power and running lke crap?im about to get the scrap man to pick the car up as ive about had it with the dam thing.
