  1. I'll definitely give that a go before splashing out on drive shafts .
  2. Yes I've already done that. Just the same 😞. I forgot to say I put new tyres on the front too but no change. So yesterday I took all the wheels off, jacked up the whole car and ran it in second gear while I went round looking for a wobble. The brake discs have a small amount of variation but hardly noticeable. The front drive shafts were wobbling around a lot and the CV joints were quite noisy. The only thing is obviously they weren't in a natural position as the car was off the ground. So I'm not sure if it's a true result 😏. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk
  3. Hi Stants. Well they didn't say there was any problem. I definitely notice it about 80. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk
  4. My Scuby has had a slight wobble on the steering wheel since I bought it. When I mentioned it to the seller on the test drive he just said "well it's an old car". 2003 but it had only done 69000 miles. The rest of the car seemed good and I thought it would be pretty easy to sort. So I bought it anyway. Since then I've had all the wheels balanced, fitted new brake discs all round, changed the front wheel bearings and swapped the wheels front to back. The wobble still persists and is getting on my t1t5 now. The strange thing is sometimes it seems quite bad and others, hardly noticeable. Is this just a Scuby quirk? Has anyone any ideas what it's likely to be? I'm tempted to buy new front drive shafts and CV joints but obviously don't want to just waste money. Any advice gratefully received.
  5. Definitely worth sorting. Cheapest option is probably to buy a ODB2 reader and resetter and do it yourself. Good luck 😊. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  6. Welcome and congratulations. It looks great! Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  7. An exhaust leak seems the obvious thing. Maybe from one of the manifolds? Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  8. Yes I have! I'm near Stratford Upon Avon if you are interested. I'd rather you collected due to it's awkward size and shape. Includes the middle pipe with the resonator in. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  9. Put your reg number into EuroCarParts and see what they have for it. 👍 Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  10. I've never seen so many Scubies in one place. He said he's doing six engine rebuilds. May boost is kept down because he doesn't want another one [emoji47] . Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  11. I agree. It was 204 at the wheels on the best run. Run 9. I think his conversion to fly wheel is over optimistic. Surely you don't loose 80bhp in the drive train! Also would expect the original run to be less. Turbo looks original. The good thing is though, I did get a useful increase in power and torque. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  12. I found changing the spark plugs easy as long as you did it from above and have the correct length box spanner. I use Halfords pink OAT coolant. It's suitable for all aluminium engines. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  13. Hi Charles. Thanks for the pics. Sorry I really want a quick release swan neck one. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  14. It took 1 1/2 hours in all and cost £360. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  15. Here's another graph for you. Boost on the right scale, Air Fuel Ratio on the left.
  16. I just took if for a spin. Pulls stronger in the mid range and a bit more top end. 160 on the clock 😎. Cooked the brakes though 😞. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  17. Just a pipercross panel filter and Prodrive back box. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  18. I had my Blob Eye remapped at TDR in Warwick today. Very friendly and helpful. I'm very pleased with the results as was the tuner. I got an extra 45 BHP and 60 Ft-lb torque peak. He said it's got a very good engine. Nice and quiet and powerful . I've only driven it home so far but I seemed to have less throttle on for the same speed and nice even power curve from nothing to red line. Definitely worth doing as well as he said it was running dangerously weak around 3.5k rpm . Before and after graph attached.
  19. Hi, What condition is it in and is it standard or swan neck style. Cheers Linx. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  20. What's the reasoning behind no AC? Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  21. Hi Cornish. These are the exact symptoms you'd expect if mixture wasn't leaning off after the car warmed up. Could be a temperature sensor or ECU. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  22. Sorry Bikeboy I've only just seen your message. It was this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K-Seal-Permanent-Coolant-Leak-Repair-for-Cooling-Systems-Head-Gaskets-Radiators-/141955816864?hash=item210d39dda0:g:PksAAOSwAvJXC1bA Any more news on it?
  23. Hi bikeboy. Just like I had. It's probably ta small leak in the radiator or heater matrix. I put in some K-Seal and no more water loss. Water temperature just the same. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  24. Maybe you have air or a blockage in the fuel filter. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
  25. EBC recommend the Red Stuff pads but they are about £100 [emoji33] . Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk
