Damn stupid drivers!!! :(
ugh there so damn annoying arnt they! we all have moments of loss of attention when were driving if your tired or bored or stressed.(traffic jam crash anyone?) but the older members of socity really are a pain in the ass on the road at times. they dont seem to understand roundabouts,they dont seem to understand one way signs, and worst oif all they dont seem to understand national speed limit then insit of looking at you like some sort of hooligan when you overtake in a safe location to proceed at said speed! rant over sorry to hear of you bump

Brembo stencil
its just everywhere you go every kid in a saxo or equivelant has painted his calipers red. black is cool but gets lost unless you have open style alloys, im seriously considering going gold to give the same look ive seen on 350z and the new gtr i think has them.

turbo issues
no idea as its the oil that dodgy mc garage put in there, planning on doing oil and filter change soon, should only be 1400 miles on that oil and filter but i just wanna know for sure... nothing else they did was any good so why assume :D and it is a touch over sits at the top of the little lead weight part of the dipstickso a little overfull. its the screech noise that worries me most tbh, but ive got half a mind this is due to a boost leak. is there any chance my valves are running dry ? :/

turbo issues
some guys in derby dropped a new engine and turbos in apprantly good condition( from japan with less than 40k on it) sounded pretty genuine but when i arrived to pick it up the trouble started i wont bore you with the details as its a longgggg story. but there were split boost pipes, a loose manifold and missing jublies galore total bodge even the rad was held in place with zip ties. im planning to come pay you a visit soon jeff just putting it off, as its a long ol jounery for me, and my confidence with the car is in tatters tbh due to the overheat that created the new engine episode. from what i could see it was leaking from the rocker closest to the wing. and dribbling down the side of the engine.

turbo issues
had loads of issues with this car with bad workmanship etc when i got my car back i had boost leaks galore, sorted most out now but need to doa proper boost leak test and find out where the remainng ones are theres gotta be more lol. anyways the car since this has developed an odd problem on full boost it chucks out smoke, and makes a hmm/ screech noise. cant decide wether it sounds like air or metal. saving up atm to pop the car upto zed world for a proper health check. its an auto. it has been suggested that my rockers become pressurized under boost and spray out a little oil. it doesnt really seem to come from the exhaust. and after a spirted long drive i get smoke at idle not much and it quickly stops. as a foot note i got a load of oil on the underside of the car a few weeks back could this be still burning off the underside and rear of the engine. i had a turbo problem before my engine swap could oil still be working through the system it was only 1400 miles ago, my drivers side intercooler pipe is a little black inside while the passenger side is clean as a whistle. any ideas please let me know :D (paranoid im gonna need another engine and turbos after those cowboys ****ed with it):thumbdown:

air con
ahh that was i was worried about, im guessing its probally the regass needed and couldnt be assed as you say knowing the other bodges i found on this car so far
-
air con
on recent inspection, i noticed the relay for my aircon is missing. its just not there the prevoius owner must of eaten it or summin. if i do turn my air con on it always blows hot air no matter what temp its set on. ive had a good look about the forum but couldnt find anything that directly answered the question, apprantly some people by pass the air con relay? just wondering what the deal is cos with this hot weather atm it would be nice to have the air con on on the motorway etc. other half gets annoyed with the t tops off at motorway speeds summin about hair getting messed up :) my other worry is i understand that the eletric fan is related to the air con so if its not worjking as a result of this missing rely i dont wanna find a surprise traffic jam and over heat.

Injectors/Plenum pull
oh and by teh way you can test them in situe just pop off the connector there brittle so be carefull. there hidden by your spark plugs. get a multi meter and put it on ohm you will see two prongs inside pop your positive negative on ther two prongs and you should get a ohm reading, i think it should be between 12-14ohms if there outside of this i belive there shagged, sum 1 else may be able to giv eyou more detail onm this subject but i did mine a few weeks back, found they needed a good clean up on the contacts rather than anything else
