i think you'll find daffy, that if sunbeam doesnt get them wheels... you will be subject to battery! :lol:

i guess it makes it easier to wind up the boost for more power though...

i wouldn't go for some1 as dodgy as brian :sailor: i need a roofer to sort out my bloody leaks atm :(

before you accept his offer, id like to make you an offer also... ill give you the equity you came for... but for only 30% of your business :closedeyes:

binding caliper?

if jeff sees this thread, i think he might do the right thing again and offer your zed a free health check :wink: :lol:

but without the battery it wont run?... and when you put the battery back and try to start it, fuel will piss all over the engine bay? and when you sort that it still might not work because of missing wires? :smartass: would make an intereting mission for the aa man!

if you have or know some1 with a trade card, then halfords are cheap and somewhere you wont have to wait for delivery

that was one of my initial thoughts. it wont do it on hard acceleration because the higher boost pressure reseals it... over run - when you accelerate through a gear the engine is driving the rear wheels... if you then come off the throttle, whilst still in gear with the clutch up, the wheels are then driving the engine because of the momentum and inertia of the cars forward (or reverse!) speed. the engine, with no throttle input, is trying to settle back down to idle speed causing a resistance, 'engine braking'. as jimmer said, even a compression test wont always prove an over run smoke issue so as far as they were concerned it was probably hunky doorey. did you ask them to investigate a smoke issue or has it only recently started? you really need to be sure on the colour of the smoke because you could be barking up the wrong tree... a faulty o2 sensor could cause fuel issues which in turn could be evident with black smoke.

:oops: so they binned the supercharger in the newer models... i stand corrected

cooper s is supercharged

havent you just had a rebuild?

loving the de-seamed inner arches chap :cool2: but cant believe you painted it red ffs!
