Mate Called Andy Long. He saw me looking on here, so guess someone knows him. I know it sounded well sweet. Saying that, my boost gauge when I pulled over was to the left, so maybe they are ok???? Hope it is the head gasket, what sorts price and i looking at??? Pretty sure its fixable. I just got ££££££££££££££££££££ going through my head lol.

Fu ck Fu ck Fu ck Fu ck Fu ck Fu ck Fu ck Fu ck Was driving in front of my brother yesterday and he said he saw some crap come out exhausts and smelt a bit when I booted it on motorway in 5th gear (was dark). Didnt really think much of it, maybe where it might be running rich or summint. Anyway, set off on a nice day out to take some photos of the car all polished up etc... Noticed some crap on the back of the car when shutting garage door, didnt think anything of it (wish I did now) Went on a motorway slip way and gave it some sh1t, seemed to go well and when I left off loadsa white smoke came out the back, Doh. So just drove along at 70mph and nothing, all seemed ok, pressures/temps all ok. Then put foot down in 5th and saw a tiny amount of smoke, doh. Then I put my foot down in second (only a bit) and it really didnt seem to go that well compared to other times. So came up to a round about and then it felt like it went onto 5 cylinders, pulled over asap and left it running on tick over which was fine. Then white smoke everywhere, yikes!!! Jumped out looked under car, oil pissing out everywhere, killed engine there and then. Lifted bonnet, had coolant blowing out of the rad cap and oil all over passenger side and underneath, just about everywhere, doh doh doh. AA man said not common for turbos to go?? I thought it was??? Still he said its dead, lol, like I dont know that. :xxx: Only had 1/3 oil left, oops. Been towed home now and its sat in the garage. When i went to put it away I noticed some loverly engine oil all over the ground, so it was fooked before I even set off. Wish Id seen that too. Guess I gotta get it towed off to somewhere for a good looking over... Unless you got other ideas whats going on??? Ztech is the closet too me, im in southampton. Saw SouthwestZX (reg K300 GAV, sorry forgot your name) If you did see my Zed, it was on the AA truck!!!! :cry: FUBAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Id just use a multipurpose felixble sealent.

The worst I have done is on a press, the torque wrench was about 8 foot long and was either 2000fl/lb or 2000nm tight. Holds 16,000psi of oil back... Dont wanna do that again in a rush.

Happy birthday..!

Doh, thats a real bummer... Too many tossers with no fooking respect!!!

Lmao...

Take care out there!!! See you soon.

money so you can buy your own toys for the car....

And now they are making a new one. Spend £100+ on it and now what do you do when that one comes out!?!?!?!

Cheers all :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: more :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: more :duffer: :duffer:

I was told 10-50 so thats what I put in.

And that could even take the whole weight...

I tried that, no go....even with the puller it was tight as fook and there was a loverly huge bang is it came off!!!!

What is the correct jack point. The manual shows one in the middle at both ends?? I prob used the wrong one :x:

To everyones it is today, including me, YAY. cheaper car insurance here I come!! :dance: :tongue:

I used a puller, probably easiest way. You gotta link to the wheel/boss you bought?? ta

I use a normal trolley jack and drive onto a bit of wood first.

Looking at some gauges and they are dual read outs. Pointless now cause its reads to higher pressure than the water goes too. If I did fit it, wouldnt have wanted a needle not moving!!

What should it be in PSI?? And where would you put the sender unit?? Thanks

What happened, just saw lots of water spray?!?!

We had a great time too, good to meet you all!! I dont have any footage :wack: Tut tut Gaz, swearing on the video....

Wires are going to be easier to feed than tubes. I think im going to go electrical after thinking about it.

How much do they cost mate? Its not too far for me.

Do it yourself!!!!!
