:D :D :D

So I watched the program and must say Boots you have a seriously clean motor !! - did they jetwash the underside of the car before shooting?

Wotcha and welcome - sorry I cant help with the diagnosis but hopefully someone will be along shortly to help

sounds like manual box may be more your thing?? but on the whole for the money it is not a bad car

and some photos of course ;) ;)

great to hear you are sorted - just keep an eye on the classifieds for a turbo they do come up reasonably priced

remove them yourselves but they need an ultrasonic bath - which you can buy as a diy unit but best to send off

could be coil or injectors - have the injectors ever been cleaned?

The new viper is said to handle as well as look the part

I'd stand by that approach - keep it simple :)

Wotcha and welcome - not many green scoobs on here

Thought - If they are all to atmosphere is that not equal and therefore balanced?

hope you sell it chum - I am also looking forward to your new arrival ;)

dont know about the mod but at that price it is worth a punt plus you then have the specs if it works

Wotcha and welcome - sorry cant help you with this one but hopefully someone will be along with the necessary info

agreed :)

congratulations on the baby chum - hope you dont have to break it as that is a lovely motor, ideal family car as mentioned already - dont suppose a quieter pipe would help??

Sounds like you could have a blockage somewhere??

fingers crossed for you chum - dont let scooby clinic talk you into a new turbo - they like their upsale opportunities ;)

dont worry about mapping just yet, sounds like you have a blockage - there isn't a piece of shipping packaging still in the FMIC is there?

not fitted one to a car yet but given the amount of stuff that gets put back into the manifold in the name of emissions reduction I can see myself doing one soon - I was looking to adopt the same simple method used on my bikes. Have the vents going to the catch tank only with the tank venting to atmosphere - mounted away from the air intake to the cabin. The oil gets retained and the pressure gets vented to atmosphere. The intake system on the car now just has external air and petrol going to the cylinder heads wrt points 1-4 above 1) what benefit? Also the positive pressure generated in normal engine operation circulates air no problem 2) so is the current industrial revolution happening in China plus cows farting 3) never had that using a catch tank with filter attached to the vent and an internal baffle 4) If you blank the feeds into the manifold and turbo inlet this becomes irrelevant - although Im not convinced of its relevance in its own right. I would start with a simple solution - even if it means two catch tanks to reduce plumbing, blank the intakes and remove the PCV

Nice one - great start to tweaking your motor - I quite like the clean look with no spoiler but Im easily pleased, splitter looks top drawer as well :)

Wotcha and welcome - there has been a thread on hear talking about what to look for buying a hatch, it includes things like door cards being thinly painted and can get scratched easily plus a load of other stuff - great car though :)

wotcha and welcome - keep us posted on your progress :)

I dont see how the symptom of temp gauge going to full when you have just turned the key is linked to head gasket failure - I wonder if the ECU has crapped itself and needs a reboot as you have a dash that is lit up like a Christmas tree. I hope they can sort it out for you but it does sound like they will be willy nilly plug pulling - maybe hooked up to a more sophisticated diagnostic apparatus will turn something up
