Love the workshop

Thanks for that, I have seen them while browsing on the internet, I might take some measurements and see if I can get one to fit.

Just some cheap ones I got off eBay. They seem to work quite well though :)

Has anybody made some sort of bed to enable you to sleep in your 90. I'm planning on getting a roof tent eventually but iv got several other things that need doing first so I wanted to try and make something chapish in the meantime. It's only going to be for the occasional night every now...

I don't drive like that all the time haha, I was just doing that like you said to get max boost and to try and max out the EGT. Iv got a boost gauge fitted so I was observing that too. I measure my MPG every time I fill up so I'm going to keep an eye on that as well and if it's drastically...

Thanks for the input guys, I gave it a tweek yesterday, 2 turns on the smoke screw, moved the diaphragm around 90' and 1 1/4 turns of the star wheel. I don't get any smoke at all which is good and I have a lot more power throughout the whole rev range, it's not sluggish like it was before. My...

What temperatures are you lot getting from your EGT gauges and how high can it safely go? I rebuilt my 90 last summer and kept the fuel pump at its original settings so I think it's time for a tune up. Iv got an alisport intercooler and a EGT gauge fitted on the EGR blanking plate, it's only a...

Cheers, I'm going to do that, I found 2 slightly bent push rods too so somthing isn't right, The timing belt was done about 5k ago but it's not going to hurt to do it again.

Yeah I'll check them out, this is the broken push rod, it's perfectly straight. Very strange indeed . [/URL]

Iv been away with work for a while but I finally had a chance to look at her today, turns out Iv snapped a push rod, the one closest to the bulkhead. I don't think it's caused any other damage, it's only a few quid for a new one so going to replace it tomorrow and hopefully that will sort it out.

Mine fitted fine mate

I got them from eBay, a full under bonnet hose kit from a company called MK performance

the knock doesn't sound that bad in the video but its actually very loud, i don't really want to run it again incase it gets worse. lets see if the video link works then...

Thanks for the suggestions lads, I haven't had a chance to have a look at her yet, Iv been too busy with work and I'm going away with work for a week on Saturday so might not get a chance to check her out until I come back at the start of Feb. I have videoed the noise, it doesn't do it justice...

so i jumped in the 90 this morning, the one the i recently rebuilt if anybody has seen my thread on it, anyway, the engine started to make a strange ticking noise on top of the normal engine noise. i had a look under the bonnet, everything looked fine, i had a similar noise a few years ago and...
