oh right didnt realise, theres nothing wrong with it taht i know but would be nice to give it a quick hows your farther if you get me

what are these factors that effect the engines output over time. im asking following a previous thread relating to a rolling road. and the discussion there about healthy engines. so other than services items suchj as air filters choking the car etc what else limits its power, does teh power drop due to the compressions effectivness? for exapmle worm valve seating and worn piston rings? or is it motre technical than that. can some one please explain???

just general really. where and how much should i expect to pay for the read only program to read my car. how much space will it take up on my gfs laptop. and is there a guide anywhere that explains what i should ex[pect to find on a healthy car... oh and where exactly does it plug in?

i found a detacted vaccum hose today one of the 8mm diameter ones. under the left hand plenum air feed.the big hoses. on the face of the throttle body was a 4mm diameter alloy tube. it definatly came from there so i popped it back on. any ideas what it was or what it does,. it sems to run down the side of the plenum to the aiv area...

good move, never been afan of them tbh and if selling payed off a healthy bill its a good use of summin tahtw asnt doning anything :D

and mounted transverse? most engines mounted tahtw ay the clutch goes taht way because of how the engine is supported. but esp with azed why dissconnect all the plumbing and stuff to drop off something tahst only a few bolts and the odd cable.

its getting t ion yoir chest to start with once under niow i trhink about it tahts a ****er!

yeh mine did that last year went from 1k to 3k. and nothing had changed! apart from i had another years no claims their excuse was insurance premiums have gone up thsi year. :S ey???? so i shopped around and got it for about 800

if you wanted to do taht you really would be better off with a switch and an ebc with multioplue settings so you can lower the boost and run on the standard fuel map.

agreed, explain you havent owned teh car for x amount of time and owners and that you cant be sure what it has or doesnt have since you last had appologies and explain if theres anything historically you need to know email me but please dont call. direct them here for help and advice its what its here for at the end of the day....

i like that lol

yeh had it a few times. has anyonme has an email recently that says "i wonder if this email address still exists?" i received it from someone i belived i had blocked from contacting me...

ive done two differnt rwd car gearboxes on the drive but niot a zed. its fine tbh just takes a little longer and limits your access get the whole thing up off teh floor all four corners taht will help. MAKE SURE ITS STABLE!!! then get stuck in the higher you cabn get it off the floor the easier your life will be the hardest bit for me has always been getting the thing back on, even if the clutch is 100% aligned, i balance it on my chest and lift.

ah ok saw an identical one in bmth afew weeks back..

ianl where you in bmth in your zed a few weeks back?

might be worth looking into silver bullet dont bother with the main dealer.

probally wsnt done up properly and has slipped then. it really is quite a simple job if i was local id come give you a hand but im 2 hours away minimum and i dont do london lol plently of guys near you tho i believe

like the below orgasium noises and a seriously nice underrated sound

cam belt is money in the bank.

i dont think its dop do with age really just common sense.im only 25 and mines a bit moany too me, i have a new one coming tho which will hopefully be slightly quiter have less holes in it and have less of a motorway drone.i too hate saxos and corsa with big bores its just queer. it is not a sports car it sounds like a fart why make that more obvious!

you can do the belt yourself more than lkily. or a local garge could... do it. i know most guys wont trust there cars anywhere other than a few places but to tighten the belt is another thing. its simly a case of slankening the belt off repositioning it so its tight then, bolting it back in place. do a sreach its not a big job at all. have you inspected the belts to check if its loose or worn??

no need, if your going down taht route simply buying wheels taht are manifactured to the correct offset is fine, one two or even three piece. the problem arises when buying second hand rims finding the offset you want becomes a little more challenging.

thanks jeff. all things to add to the to do list

yes call him up and ask him???
