Put it on car today...... Think I sorta like it haha 😜

As above, welcome mate, car looks lovely !

Just had a thought, I had something like this on my blobeye, turned out the front shock was fubar, had lost some damping/oil, so that you could pull the rod up and down just over an inch without any resistance and it was letting the wheel jump about undamped

And here is the offending article ...

I was actually gonna say that the rum had brought out my inner chav when i posted 😎 it could really be that i subconsciously want a bov, which I find a little disconcerting haha

It was the phone that was the problem, it just makes it toooo easy lol, not mentioned it to the wife, just gonna get it and sell it on 😋

Drank rum, next day lookin through my eBay to find I had bought a second hand GFB DECEPTOR blow off valve, wtf, I don't even want a BOV ffs 😳

I fell off just after reading that it actually was hydro locked ! 😜

Thank the lord, are we thinking hydro locked then ? Quite unbelievably my wife's x3 BMW has done the same thing, head gasket gone and hydro locked it, came home today to find it fooked, have just chucked a 30 quid bottle of kseal ultimate in it 😳

Update........

Just had a Clio fail the mot for having different sized tyres on the same axle, 55 and 65 profile, asked the mot guy if a car came in with a space saver on would it fail, absolutely he said, so the spacesaver is a blatant loophole in the law when being used on the road, it's like, it's ok to use an illegal tyre to get you out of a jam, but then what can't you then use a spare tyre with less than adequate tread to get you out of a jam... Food for thought eh 😛

I'm on the edge of me seat with this one !!

It can't be hydro locked if it turns over by hand both ways, it's one of the first things I thought of that's one of the reasons why I asked if you could turn it over on the crank nut, if you can turn it over and get it to go through the 4 compression strokes, one for each cylinder then it's gotta be something else

Lols 🙂 Just peeked your profile to see how old you were but your keeping it under your hat 🤐, tbh I feel a lot older than my 46 years at times... Not mentally lol just physically

And also, we are presuming that this car started and ran fine before you changed these bits ??

12v doesn't mean it's ok, the only way to know for sure would be a drop/load test on the battery, if it's brand new you would think it should be fully charged but that may not be the case, I can't see it being hydro locked as you said it happened straight away which I'm assuming was soon as key was turned and before any/much fuel was injected ?? And also cos it turns over with the crank nut, without seeing the car I'm thinking battery or starter or associated wiring

I know it sounds daft but is the new battery definately fully charged

Did you get the clunk straight away as soon as you went to turn it over, or did it turn over a couple of times and then the clunk

If it turns over with a spanner/socket, make sure it turns the proper way and see if you can run it through a few full revolutions to make are nothing is hitting anything internally and that you have good compression then look at the starter motor, see if that's crapped out

Can you get a socket on the crankshaft pulley nut and see if it'll turn backwards

Ok mate, I drop them an email 😊

Never heard of the amatech, really my slick 50 usage dates back to the mid 90s as that's when I started using it, as for oil, I use Granville Motorsport 10/60 fs

Well I ran slick 50 in my cosworths after engine rebuilds and running in and I run it in my scoob and any other performance car I've owned, I personally believe the marketing and to this day I've not had a problem with it, I've no evidence either way of course, but I feel happier thrashing the as-s out of the cars with it in, I'm obviously older and calmer now so the scoob gets a mild ragging, but the cosworths and the gto especially got thrashed on a daily basis i don't go for anything else like oil stabilisers etc I just run decent oil and change every 3000, I did just run redex advanced injector cleaner tho Tbh if I'm thinking of buying or doing something to the car I will research the ins and outs for weeks and I'm a bit sceptical of most things, but I thought I would give the grounding kit a go and see, and for me it has worked, even the idle is noticeably smoother, I'm not trying to promote a sale of one in particular as I made mine myself, I just thought I would share my personal experience 👍

How much did they charge to do the injectors leggy ??

Mines gotta be "cun@" cos that's what it gets called the most
