as i understand it its a good idea to just replace the oil lines as par for the course? cheers again i would still be hitting it with a big stick if it wasnt for this club/ forum

that sounds nice and techincal, i take it you speak from experience :-) cheers

hi yes pcv's have been changed and made no difference. cheers for that dave it looks just the job and as that item no i posted above doesnt include 360's looks like you have just saved me 40 quid i will get some ordered asap and try them out. seems to be the way to go, rather than sending them off for a refurb! cheers rich

hi all i'm in the process of rebuilding/ replacing my turbos and was thinking of using a kit off ebay thats been recommended on here: Item number: 320364810675 my question is this, i believe my turbos are smoking because my car is decatted, if i use a kit like this, whats to stop the same thing happening again and my turbos smoking again? is there any uprated seals i can use or anything i can do to make sure it stops, apart from putting a standard exhaust back on??? :confused::confused::confused: rich

that old chestnut.... my mate has one............so the astra isnt yours??????????????

do you think he made the wing himself from his meccano set?

that gtr looks huge agaist the r8, seen both in the flesh but cant work out whether the gtr is really big or the r8 is really small????

is it going out and sleeping with lots of different boys every night of the week???

i Managed it ok, in heindsight (god knows how you spell it) it would have soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much easier to work on if it was lifted out in one lump and for all the work i did to get the heads off it probably would have been quicker tooo. hey ho you live and learn.

hi yes i have, its down to the tubs i assume, but the head gasket recently went bang so i've stripped the heads off, with engine in car. so now seems like the ideal time to sort them out just to make sure.

ebay item : Item number: 280350340480 i'm in the process of sorting my smoking tubs and not sure whether to rebuild them myself or buy new???:confused::confused::confused: thoughts please cheers rich

hi all just wondering who to use for my turbo rebuilds and also what seals to use cheers rich

hi all. my uk tt manwel go a bit hot and the head gasket on drivers side went pop. so ive stripped it down with the intention of replacing both head gaskets and also while i am on i would like to replace the smoking turbos. so the questions go which head gasket should i use? which turbo seals to use given the fact its decatted with a larger exhaust i see there is a lot of speak of removing egr gear and a direct feed bypass for the turbo water feeds. also i am contenplating repalcing the intercoolers and possibly the turbos but what a rough idea of what the experts might suggest as sensible mods, i can see that this could snowball very easily given the chance. all help appreciated cheers rich

rip what a shame, respects rich

but looooooooooooooooooooooooooooook 250354204197 on ebay

ive had a wheel do the same thing in the past i had it welded. the only prob was that when he started welding it the heat made the wheel crack even more so the weld was twice as long as the origional split. but it can be done.

want one, looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice

wow, imagine that on the front of a jaguar

stage one or two thank you lol
