What's the condition of your intercooler like? Are a lot of the vanes bent and damaged? Is the intercooler full of silt? What about the condition of the turbo hoses? Does the vehicle use much oil? Is it possable that the cam is badly worn? What about your inlet manifold? When I took mine off...

Why were the police checking vehicles?

Yep. never known it so bad. Anyway, that's lunch over. Back to work.

60K A WEEK !!!!!!!!!! Fecking hell.

Desperate for what Sean? Sorry, but your going to have to enlighten me there.

For CosCast, then TVR Power. get then to tophat it as well. John Eales is worth a shout. Not sure if Jamie at STR8 does RV8's or just sticks to S6 / AJP? I've heard mixed reports about Real-Steel, and not much good about RPI.

Thanks for the recent info concerning this guys. Unfortuently, the recession coupled with the fact that our goverment has been printing money like it has been going out of fashion, which in turn sends Sterling into a downward spiral, has pretty much finished off my business. Added to this, we...

Any funny camber to the wheels?

Heres a thought. considering that you have had the vehicle for a year and not noticed any uneven wear rates on the other three wheels, it may be possable that you have a bent pickup point or hub carrier, hence the funny wear rates. I bent something on mine clipping a curb driving with...

I'd have thought so Ratty. I called up my local main dealer the other day to see if they did replacement flexi hoses that join the downpipe to the cat. They didn't, but 'cat' replacement, including the flexi pipe was under £300. If that was a proper cat, then it seems quite cheap to me?

Is that for both sections? Not a bad price that if it is.

Sorry, I forgot to add, no oil emulsification untill it started beltching smoke, but that was a fair while after the problems started.

It all started on the way back home from a straightliners event at Elvington. The car had run faultlessly up untill then, and was running constant 150's+ between 1600 & 2000 metres whilst retaining 70-80 celcius temps. Up untill then it had never lost a drop of coolent, and although the header...

Your best bet is proberbly to do a quick search on here using the search function. That should yeild you about 20 odd threads for North Derbyshire / South Yorkshire.

well, you now have the pleasure of meeting your first 4.0 owner who has suffered a slipped liner. And I've met and spoken to somewhere in the region of 30-40 others who have had simular problems. 4.0, 4.5, or 5.0, it doesn't seem to make much differance once you get above 3.5 litres. I had...

I cant possably see how it wouldn't help, just so long as the fueling was suited to match. Whether any slight increase in power / weight ratio would be noticed is a different matter. Keep us posted please?

Will do. Cheers.

Around about this time last year, so say just coming up to 12'000 miles ago? It's due again anytime soon.

I've no idea TBH. Best get the multimeter out though.

It has 191'000 on the clock, but I suspect that it has done a lot more than that. No air leaks to speak of, boost pressure still fine, (gauge fitted), but it is massively down on power and the fuel consumption is getting steadily worse (350 miles to a tank full). But the funny thing is, it...
