It was good advice lol

Get the engine on a hoist and lift it enough to get the diff casing over the subframe, its just blood sweat and tears to get it back in.

As Phil said, its much much easier to lift the engine, its only about 3-4 extra bolts and a few hoses to get it out.

dont have a hoist though mate. Im sure me and myki will get it back in tomorrow. Hopefully! Wont be up and running till i can get a new plastic spring thing from on the selector. Broke mine taking it out.

does any one know if the vr6 clutch was actully made in 230mm or is that wrong and they were all 228mm.?????

[LC Ibiza Cupra]

rhys spotted your car in the grape an olive yesterday evening, i was having some grub with the misus,

 

[Forbez]

I've seen a few black ones around recently,
Saw one with two boys in it, coming up behind on a dual carriage way, I was looking in the mirror, and clocked their faces as they saw me infront, they looked supriesed and then came booting it up the outside lane, big fat loud exhaust on full song. (Sounded like a nova in an air conditioning pipe! )

Just as they came up just behind me, I put me foot down, and left them for dust, then at the round about I did two laps, so they could catch up, before i pointed and laughed, and left them again.

Childish I know, but funny! Ooooh Yes!

 

[rhysox]

[rhysox]

[mr_D]

phil if i was to disconnect my battery for 2-3 days and i mean dead it wouldnt clean my keys from the ecu would it. ie decode them on the immobiliser?

just finished putting my car back together and it wont start! i get all lights on dash but nothing else!

 

[PhilW]

Nah it should be fine, my battery was dead for about 2-3 weeks and my engine was out for a week.

Does it crank at all? Check your starter motor connection off the battery.

 

[nogutsnoglory]

never done any logs before, what ones should i do to find out why its running rich?

 

[mr_D]

all done now phil. There was an earth lead for starter that connects to gearbox. It was hiding from me. Thanks
