After thinking about it for months I finally removed the rubber extension for the oil filler

I'm wanting to buy a inlet manifold and rocker to get powder coated. Am I correct in thinking any 20v rocker cover will fit?

There are 2 types of rocker to suit the 2 different types of coils

Thanks for the reply. I'd guess that'll be the bolt down and push down then. What type do I need (I'd guess push down?) and what type are AGU heads as I've seen one cheap?

Had a few thing turn up in the post this week.

Battery relocation brackets from Dolby thanks for the fast dispatch fella :)
Glove box insert to replace the useless CD changer. Again thanks for the fantastic service Dave (sere motors).
3d carbon fiber vinyl.
A 76mm cold air feed prized from away from a lad in a Nova :lol:
Jobs for the weekend. Along with washing the car for Sundays meet. The glovebox insert fitted great addition for £11.53 delivered.

What code(s) did you have that were lighting it up in the first place? I was getting camshaft adjuster fault codes a while ago which were oil pressure related, they went away and the light went off, all by themselves after a while.

The code is 16804 which I think is efficancy of first bank below threshold, relating to the cat.

Ha, I thought about the bulb after I wrote it! Holiday was great thanks matey, just sucks being back home. Heading up to Blyton on Sunday if your passing by that area at all?:)

I'd love to but it's my sons 2nd birthday part. I just drop the suggestion of popping to Blyton in conversation but it didn't go down to well! :whistle:
Hope you have a good time and if you're going again give me a shout.

:rofl: The thought of telling my Wife that I was off to a racetrack on my sons birthday scares me at a cellular level!;)

I'm sure it'll be a good day mate, I'll defo give you a shout next time too. Did you make it up there with the other Mk1 boys whilst I was away on holiday?

Got a decat? That's the ecu wanting a certain exhaust gas flow and not getting it because the flow is exceeding a threshold through having the decat.

The light does go eventually but the code and fault will still remain. Either ask your mapper to map it out, or fit a 42 draft designs sensor spacer http://www.awesomegti.com/car/seat/leon1m/42-draft-designs-o2-sensor-spacer

I had exactly the same code on and off ever since having my decat fitted to replace a sports cat. I recently got the 42 draft sensor spacer fitted and the code hasn't returned. Works a dream and cars runs better for it :D

No I've still got the standard DP and cat. The light first came on the day after I picked the car up from having the diff and clutch fitted. I wondered if a wire to the Lambda was damage while it was being worked on? Or the cat died when I over filled the engine with oil:redface:
Any ideas are very welcome!

Bignod I made sure there was a big enough distance between us before I said it! I did go down that Sunday but chickened on taking my car out. I did get a couple of passenger rides in Ronins car which I throughly enjoyed. As I've said before I'll have to grow a pair and give it a go!

Am sure I had that code when my 2nd lambda was faulty. The description is "efficiency below threshold" which literally means the 2nd lambda is seeing excess emissions after the cat - although it is more likely that the sensor is shot. If the 1st lambda was faulty the car would likely not be running right as it's the 1st (pre-cat) lambda that influences fuelling, the second one is just there to keep an eye on the cat.

http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16804/P0420/001056

I'd check the wiring to the 2nd (post-cat) sensor, if that's all fine then change the sensor. This shouldn't affect the car's running, just means that you get codes and EMLs and the ECU doesn't know if the cat is operating right.

Does the second lambda influence furling at all? Only reason is the mpg went down by around 5 mpg after the light came on. The exhaust gases also smell rich on start up.

Haha, sensible man!;) Glad to hear you made it up there the other week, its quite a nice little track isn't it!? By the time the decent weather comes around next year I'm sure you'll be gagging to get the Yellow beast on there, I'll be there with you too!:funk:
