    starting from cold

    Sounds expensive....I just normally change the one that's fecked and leave it at that, I would have thought as long as they are all within spec you should be good to go.

    black smoke from down buy the turbo and out the back

    If its black smoke then I'd say yes to an injector. When you say it's running rough...does it ever sound as though it is misfiring( a tappy raspy sound ) that clears if you rev the engine? Also it may be worth cleaning the fuel rail pressure sensor plug and socket. Lastly has it been using any...

    Wow, there expensive bolts....

    Yep. They all do it...their listings are good till finished...and they just hike the prices when waiting for stock to come in.....it keeps them top of the rankings when you search for an item.

    Wow, there expensive bolts....

    No he sold the others for £44.........he's probably just got no stock at the moment and doesn't want to lose his sales ranking by finishing the listing and by putting them at a daft price he knows they won't sell.

    New Owner - Teething Problem Please Help!!!

    If your hippo feels like its surging slightly at constant throttle I would guess at an injector problem. Mine used to do this and it would sound like a spitfire until you blipped the throttle which would clear it. Get them to do a leak back test on your injectors as if it is this it will...

    Rear wheels not driving

    They contain a silicone type of fluid that can deteriorate with age causing the vcu to start to fail causing the drive train to wind up and then take out the ird or diff or both. Common practice when this happens is for the owners to remove the rear prop and continue driving the hippo in just...
