I went and bought an inlet manifold gasket today and in the packet are 2 gaskets, 1 rubber and one paper (see pic). On the packet it says "Inlet & Exhaust Gaskets". Is this true, i.e. using a paper gasket on the exhaust manifold? Or should this paper gasket go onto the inlet manifold along with...

Unfortunately my RAVE disk has just gone belly-up!!! Any chance of posting the relevant page please?

I need to get a couple of thin wires from the engine bay into the passenger cabin, preferably on the drivers side. Is there any simple way to do this, i.e. are there any existing routes which can be followed easily? Thanks

The local garage fitted a secondhand housing yesterday as they thought the original may be distorted. Maybe I should try a new one with new seals?

Hi everyone, A while ago I replaced the front hoses with the ones containing the remote thermostat. I also removed the original thermostat and replaced it with the plate with the hole in it. However, ever since doing this I've had a coolant leak from the join between the thermostat housing...

Had a similar problem with mine, i.e. loosing coolant while running but no puddles etc. when parked up. I suspected the head gasket but a sniffer test sad it wasn't that. Anyway a week or so later, while sitting in a traffic jam, I saw steam coming up from under the bonnet (no overheating...

Maybe a bit late, but Kwikfit are selling Scorpion ST's via their website for £76.64 each including fitting, balancing, etc! I just bought 2 yesterday as I couldn't find anyone else near their price :D

Well I took the car to my local garage this morning for them to do the work. I got a phone call a little later to say that they had tested the head gasket (something about adding a fluid then checking for the presence of exhaust gasses in the coolant), and that in their opinion the head gasket...

Talking of liners............ does anyone know why the K series engine uses slip fit liners, rather than pressed fit ones?

I´ve been losing coolant for a while now, from a slight leak at the thermostat housing, so have been checking/topping up coolant every day. When checking my oil level today I´ve found slight milky deposits on the end of the dipstick & under the oil filler cap. So it looks like I´ve joined the...

Well I rechecked the hose connections and tightened them up a bit. The miles I covered were a mixture of slow town driving and 70mph motorway miles. I´ve been filling up between journeys for the last couple of days and topped up again this morning. I did over 220 miles again today, with a...
