December 15, 201510 yr Oh neglected badly by previous owners :( all being well though mate won't be too bad fixer upper :)
December 15, 201510 yr Been sorting everything out for moving, got a place in Garstang close to my work. This means Im in two minds about my car... expensive to keep and will annoy everyone on the little estate but it's also 1/4 the miles I have been doing so saving lots on fuel and I have the prodrive exhaust still which is quieter ;). I don't want to get rid of it, the car is a part of me now :(
December 16, 201510 yr Author Maf problems returned, looks like I'm gonna be buying a new one [emoji25]
December 16, 201510 yr Ouch :(. At least you tried though Stants :). My Prosport boost gauge went knackered last night, showed me boosting at 2 bar when I was sat in traffic.... then dropped to the lowest vacuum. Either wiring gone dodgy, a pipe has split or the it's knackered.
December 16, 201510 yr Author Just given icp a call, the maf is actually 45 quid cheaper than advertised whoop !
December 16, 201510 yr Just given icp a call, the maf is actually 45 quid cheaper than advertised whoop ! Who are ICP? I might give them a call see if they can supply one for me. I think a new one might be the only way forward.
December 16, 201510 yr Import car parts- really good. Cheap genuine parts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 16, 201510 yr This is my non turbo previously kicked around , now new family member Here you go Michael85, I've spun your scooby around (see below) looking nice btw ! Looks like you've got the important stuff done so far, have you changed the oil and filter yet? I've recently bought a Sports Wagon as a project too, years after having a Sport Saloon back in early 2000s I always vowed I'd have another Scooby Done the oil and filter, needs replacement shocks (been looking for turbo shocks S/H on eBay, I'm assuming they'll go straight on ) there's a nock at the front, prob a tie-bar bush etc, plus one or both of the back wheel bearings are 'whining' slightly, so needs doing too but all good fun, as long as it doesn't cost too much Remember - If you sign up as a club member you get a Halfords discount card = 15% off most items ! (cycles only 10% off) so get your parts and fluids etc and get saving money Blud - BOOOOOMM !!!!!!!!
December 16, 201510 yr Think yet another front nearside bearing has gone. :( will have a proper look tomorrow now. Sigh
December 16, 201510 yr Made most of mild weather and washed it. Gave the maf a good clean with some maf cleaner (funnily enough). Pulled the ICV again and gave it a better clean.
December 17, 201510 yr Jacked mine up wheel feels good so think bearing is fine will take the wheel of and replace the pads when I get some hopefully that's what my issue is. Not much meat left on them.
December 17, 201510 yr Author From all of 8 miles that I've done i'd like to say sweet as a nut but that would be tempting fate, Idles stable, throttle response is better and it's not kangaroo ing letting off the gas, so looking good,
December 18, 201510 yr Insurance renewal time.....£325....happy enough with that to not need to look around this year
December 18, 201510 yr Massive smoke from exhaust yester day. Now injectors need to be replaced. I'm practically rebuilding the car!! Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk
December 19, 201510 yr Washed, clayed and waxed mine seeing as this is the last chance this year and the weather was ok. Also renewed insurance and extended gap insurance. Expensive day all in all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 19, 201510 yr Nothing in ages, might take it to the jet wash later but not sure its worth it in this wether....
December 19, 201510 yr Works do last night ,in the ar5e end of nowhere and my mates motor spat it's dummy out [emoji57] So i had to take the scooby and stay sober [emoji19] Had a nice chat with a bloke in a late rs focus (which was mapped ,anti lag ect) he said he liked the look of my old scooby [emoji106] He left shortly after me and proceeded to try n push me above the 30 limit by tailgating me through the villages [emoji57] But once she'd warmed up and we hit the national speed limit on the twisty b road I lost sight of him in the rear view mirror [emoji5] Well until shortly after we hit the next village ,when I was doing 30 again and he thundered past . Dunno what sort hp 58 plate focus rs's run or if they're 4wd but the only complaint I got from my passenger saying his neck hurt today [emoji23]
