cheers bob and cheers for the phone call. hopefully we'll get it sorted again! thanks mate

The garage i originally took it to put this idea in my head so im fuming, i paid them a hundred quid to look at it and they just couldnt be arsed and have mis diagnosed it just to get it out their shop! paying to "fix" the car has put me right in the sh*t too and i'm no further with it!!!!! id...

ive got your number mate! when do you want a buzz?? it'll cost me a bomb in petty but im up for the trip if it sorts it finally, really am sick of it now!!! :@ just a nightmare that ive whacked the new engine in too and it looks like i didnt need it! :( cant be arsed pulling it out again so just...

got 10-40w Mobil 1 (was advised by Opie's to put this in to run in the last few hundred miles) then i have silkoline 10-50w to throw in soon. It sounds EXACTLY as the old engine did. could it have anything to do with the timing or owt like that? I know bugger all like just a stab. I swear bob...

it was just the block that mr bob sent me, the rest was mine although it had new clutch, alternator belt fitted. plus the turbo like i say is more or less brand new, i just cant get my head round it. Ill take a vid tomoz morning see if the noise comes through, it sounds EXACTLY like a...

temp both oil and water spot on, pressure spot on, again engine pulling well and bahaving normally. Just that bloody tappetty rattle is still bloddy there!! just dont understand it at all bob! :-s

excuse me for being dense but bearings on what? (im about as about good with engines as Glitter is as an au pair) The turbo is less than 6 months old (360 roller bearing hybrid) and the engine is new in (only 800miles done and still running in) Brand new clutch, brand new suspension, i dont...

cheers for your help mate, i think i need to try and have a go at setting it up tomorrow when i get to work after getting it hot. the reading goes nuts as soon as the engine is up to temp (goes like 6,12,4,18,5,28,12,17,6,10 when the car is increasing in revs and moving, then settles at around...

On the Apexi SAFCII, on one of the readouts it gives a reading for KNC or KNK. Ive always assumed it stood for knock (knock sensor or something?) Now i am quite dense with engine noises i dont mind admitting so: What is this reading? What sort of behaviour/reading is normal? (ie stays...

i have this same noise on mine, sounds like you've left a tap on when the engine ceases. ive just installed a new engine (the old one had the same noise too) because of many problems. A few months back i had to get a new radiator because it split, ever since i hear this rattling noise (sounds...

IS the knock sensor on an Apexi SAFII anything to judge by, because it goes nuts sometimes and other times just sits on 0 or 1?? Just pm'd boby to organise me shimmy! Just thinking i have got a bit of money to one side that i was going to use on the bathroom. . . . :shock:

mine is a bit like that, sounds like if you were to shake a bolt in a tin can for about 3 seconds before you start it up. . . . then it just sounds normal. . . . proper bricking this as im panicing i wont be able to afford more fixing! Spent nearly 3k on it at the same time ive just bought my...

the main problem ive got is no one wants to work on the car. Hi teq is non contactable and RC in warrington is a nightmare when they can be arsed looking at it. Would take it to RSE motorsport here but all he'd do is stick a nitrous bottle up my **** and tell me he's tuned me. Dont mind...

Right, how can you tell if its just your tappets on the way out or if its something more serious? Mine is making the same horrible rattle im always on about, been steadily getting worse for around 3-4 months of regular driving. Took it to Ian at hi tec about 2 months back and he said at the...

When my turbo had gone i was getting a lot of white smoke on over run and when changing gears. Tell tale sign is after taking your foot off when on boost it lets out a plume of white smoke behind the car. Funny thing was i didnt really notice a dip in performance at first when it started to...

i have got the exact same sound on mine only i left it a while and its got far worse! Knock sensor on my SAFCII goes absolutely nuts when engine is up to temp. Noone round here wants to touch it let alone try a diagnosis so ive got the expensive call to Hi-Teq coming i feel :sad: might mean...

You know i got nothing but love for ya Mr c! I posted this last night when i thought it would be bit too late to give you a text. I text Lee but as of yet he hasnt replied

Mines totally packed up, been sounding really lazy for a while and then seemed to spring back to life. . . now totally gone, doesnt even click when turning key. Been advised that it rare to come across starter motors for the 92-93 imports? is this true? Been quoted 140quid for new one but will...
