I am very happy that this thread has been kept open to the public, as it just shows to me the truth about the state the forum has got into over the last few years. With the traders and some mods becoming very (sided) with one another, as much as it pains me to see Lukes name get dragged through the ...

Spoke with the local garage who have the car today to organise the breaking. They tell me that this morning they spent just under one hour on the car and report that it is now running fine and ready for collection by me on monday. Not had the chance to go up and see it yet, this is just from the ph...

I`m serious, I`ve never seen a bore washed, siezed engine.

I would pay good money to have a nosey..........

I put mine back together with a worse score and it still runs fine.

You breaking your car??

How much for the engine..........................

Yes the brakes are the same N/A and turbo.

Right... update on this... fitted the new set of iridium plugs, old ones looked quite black upon removal! Fitted a new air filter, again the old one looked quite clogged!. Removed the dizzy cap.. the old one was absolutely knackered!! and the rotor arm was badly burnt!! Put the new ones on took it ...

Emissions figures are as follows: Fast idle test - FAIL CO - Max .30% - 0.30% - PASS HC Max 200PPM - 30PPM - PASS Lambda - 0.97 - 1.03 - 2.05 - FAIL Second fast idle test CO - .21% PASS HC - 17ppm - PASS Lambda 1.02 - PASS Natural idle test CO - Max 0.50% - 1.61% - FAIL Airfilter hasnt been changed...

Check the relay(s) in the engine bay that control the fan circuit(s).

It wont fail and MOT if it has been removed there is no check to see if airbags are fitted to a car.

It will fail if the airbag warning light does not function as is should i.e. it should come on and go off within approx 5 secs of the vehicle starting.

Sorry to hear you didnt get this sorted properly.

If you had just been able to wait a couple of days I could have sorted everything out no problems.

Make sure you give me a call next time and dont go using anymore cowboys.

+1 for the cat not being warm enough. Most cars I see that have issues with emmissions are due to the cat not being hot enough. Just becaue the the temp gauge shows warm it doesnt mean the cat is fully warmed up, did they use a oil temp sensor on the emissions test, along with a tacho for revs or wa...

Crank is the same, block and pistons are different.

This isnt even a discussion its a fact that the PSN has been crap in the past few months not just the past few days. I don't think it'd be impossible to bring down / hack Xbox Live in the same way :wink: I dare you! :twisted: Sticking two fingers up at everyone who goes on the xbox and thinks its s...

Its only 24hrs or maybe 48hrs before they sort it out.

Its sunshining outside................

You lot need to get a life and find something else to do 48hrs.

I love playing online, but not that much.

Sounds like the top cup wasnt seated properly and has shifted when you hit the bump. Part no. 48044 in the picture below, they have a hole in them with flats on either side if they are not seated properly when the top nut is tightened rotate and they make lots of different wierd noises. http://www.a...

Glad its sorted.

Sounds like AFM (air flow meter).

Check the electrical plug that goes to the air intake on the left of engine bay (looking from back of car) and check the flap inside the AFM isnt stuck/siezed.

It failed on CAT and lambda by the results you have. HC was fine which is unburnt fuel so spark/timing etc could be ruled out. Even after the new CAT and lambda a fitted it was only just out, thats normally a sign it wasnt quite warm enough. MAP sensor may be somehing to check. Emmissions are pain i...
