Was it knocked at all during fitting😵 I find the plastic boots last longer, the modern "rubber" is bolox🙄

That’s even worse :vb-groan2: At least the GEMs is all in a row along the top. J

Here you go

With all the heat blowing between the heads? 🥵

Bolted onto the rear of the plenum/lower manifold

It's a metal gasket, it's ideal to replace it because you don't want any kind of air leak there. It's not difficult

I don't actually know where they are mounted as standard 🤔

🤬🤬🤬🤬 Oh I'm annoyed.. like.. really annoyed!!! The half shaft i replaced.. what.. a couple of weeks ago!? The cv boot is forked!! Grease everywhere!! Really frigging annoyed

Water, water bl**dy everywhere. Got back from town and spotted a drip from the front - drain-plug was dripping from the radiator. Went inside, came back out and noticed a drip from the passenger sill. Opened door and carpet is wet. Water...

I am sure its cos you have the wrong size wheels & tyres :p. Maybe the wrong fred🤔. J

Protection from the heat is a definite plus👌😎

So, picked her up yesterday, went to a expidition vehicle meet up with the mechanic and some friends and some others. I felt poor for a sec, between people having a private warehouse twice the size of our not small house next to there villa, for...

There was YouTube clip where a bloke relocated the coil packs to a more sensible spot in the engine bay. Can't find it now though.

the leads were changed with new ones when I made the data diagnostic , I just swap the leads 1-6 connectors at the coil side not at the plug side. so for me the coil is faulty not the new leads. I believe that an electric problem occurred on that...

FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!! I followed my instinct and swapped the leads on the coil side cyl 1 and 6 that suppose to fire at the same time, and the roughness moved to the cyl 6! the coil is shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only at the coil outpout 1 so yes...

Obsessing about the order of the skips is a retirement issue

try

What are the fuel trims showing? Do they have a post cat lambda sensor? What are the lambda sensors showing on the diag? Regular wave patterns or flat patterns when the engine is upto temp?

Fitted the new exhaust yesterday. I went for one of the £335 ‘sports’ ones you can find on eBay. I must say I’m overall extremely impressed with the welding and it fit beautifully, something I wasn’t sure would happen. Sound wise there’s an...

Which ECU is fitted ?? Unless someone has messed with the wiring, it should not be possible to fit the wrong type. Also are you using the correct Nanocom menu ? TRW MPS (TYPE 1) TRW SPS (TYPE 1)

Next step for me would be to check out the wiring using a DVM. DO NOT connect the DVM to any airbag. With the circuit unplugged, a loop back test can be performed on each airbag circuit to the ECU for continuity and also the front crash...

Solved! Thanks a bunch. I just altered those screws a few times. It’s not 100% but it shuts normal now. I’m not going to even entertain the idea of toying with it. I’m just chuffed that it’s now fixed and my car is whole again.

Thank you.

Hi everyone! I have finished replacing the driver's door lock. I also replaced the plastic parts of the front doors, STC3063 and -64. Contrary to the instructions, I did not assemble the parts with a spring tensioner, but tightened the shorter...

Close to orange.

Can’t mate. It’s red.

As said it's a wasted spark system, it will spark down 2 leads at the same time. Normally when a coil goes it will impact both cylinders not one. I would suggest the coil is working fine at this point. It could be a dodgy injector, but i would...

It needs old fashioned engine basics rather the repeated diagnostics, i.e. Clean or better still replace spark plugs Test injector spray pattern & clean them. It's easy DIY using a kit like this https://ebay.us/m/cNgk6I Compression check all...
