Welcome along, nice choice of motor, as has been said get some pics up of said sti when the day comes that you pick it up 👍👍

Not so sure about the windows in the xv but with alot of cars if you put the window down and hold the button for 5-10 seconds that should reset it on the downward side and the same for upwards, alternatively put the window down and push the button 5times then the same when you put the window up, hope this helps

Welcome along, all the folks on here are very helpfull with any problems that you may come across, feel free to get stuck in matey 👍👍

Hi and welcome to the club, it could be the rear strut tops worn and giving some lateral movement and causing the back end to come round, have you tried jacking up the rear and checking for play back and forth and up and down

@Seminole81 what voltage are you getting down the live wire to the bulb?, if you can try to get the probe on the mutimeter onto the pin in the middle of the bulb holder as thats the live and the metal surround is the earth, it could be the holder itself or the bulb may not be contacting properly inside the holder, if you have a little pick or screwdriver you can bend the live pin up a bit which should give a better contact to the bulb or get a pair of pliers and squeeze the body of the holder so that the bulb is fitting really tight into it, i'm not the best with electrics tbh but know basic stuff. @david1972 not sure if itl be a fuse as i think the rear sidelights are on the same fuse as the front, there will be a fuse for each side, i'm not sure how the front side lights are wired up on your car as i've never worked on one but could it be that the previous owner had a problem with them and wired them in together and now theres a fault with the wiring, its kinda strange how both are not working at the same time unless both bulbs are faulty but i'm assuming that you've already checked them

No worries dude hope it helps 👍, have a good time away down south and stay safe ☺

Not sure mate but found this on the old googley search https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.noblefix.com/helicoil/HeliCoil-Tapping-Chart.html&ved=0ahUKEwju4-z2467UAhUkI8AKHWcgDDQQFghfMA8&usg=AFQjCNFxM5UBenGq0_u47fBlGz1Q2_9CpQ&sig2=ZzIxLF4RWbka2crvS05zKA 👍

Heres hoping bud, hope you're away somewhere nice too

Thats just sods law aint it eh, stuff like this never happens when you have loads of time on your hands does it 😐

Sorry can't help on the caliper side of things but you could put a helicoil in or get a cheap tap and die set and tap it out and put another bolt in, would be cheaper than a caliper

Have you got a test light or multimeter to test if you have power to the bulb holder, could be a bad connection in the holder its self or a broken wire

Yeah i knew the timing belt would have to come off but it was changed last year and its only done 5k since it was put on, however i'll check to make sure its not been contaminated with the oil leak but its not been leaking that long so hopefully itl be ok, also kind of thought i would take the rad out, make life a bit easier thing is i've just done a coolant flush and refresh so going to have drain it all out again and it was a right pita to bleed 😠😠

Cool cheers savage 👍, i will give it a go next weekend, off to croft this weekend for btcc

I think but not sure, it controls the pressure going to the wastegate on the turbo

Hi everyone as the title suggests i think the front crank oil seal is starting to go on my classic ej20 as theres a little oil coming from behind the timing cover just below where the crank is and its using a little oil not much as its not dripping onto the ground yet but after a spirited run i get a whiff of burning oil and i think its dripping a little onto the header which runs from the passenger side, just wondering how hard or easy it is to change, icp sell them for 6quid i think so going to get one, i'm a mechanic so going to do it myself however trucks are my thing so don't really know my way round cars enough to know what kind of job it will be, any advice is much appreciated ☺

Not sure about all the plugs but that thing by the airbox looks like a 2port boost solenoid and i don't think it should be held on with a cable tie lol it should bolt on to a bracket around that area 👍

Oooo thats very nice i think i've just had an accident downstairs haha

Gave it a good coat of wax before going to knockhill tomorrow, can't be seen to be letting the side down lol 😅😅

Just noticed @stants has already said bout the battery and airbox lol 😂😂

Yeah the gc8 mate, i used the lift at work so that might of made the job a bit easier,if your doing it from above then the battery and washer bottle would probs have to come out for access, i used a spark plug socket and a really short extension so that when attached they were basically flush with the rocker cover then managed to get my ratchet on, then a few turns and they were finger tight, removed the ratchet and unscrewed them with the socket and extension then opposite way to put them back in, bit they are a pita sometime you just have to stand back with a brew, swear a few times then try again 😂, you'll get there it is possible haha

Welcome to the club thats one tasty looking motor bud ☺

Welcome along will be interesting to see how this project turns out ☺

Is it 6 speed as i'm sure the sti box has 6 gears however i may be wrong as i don't have an sti, someone will be along soon to help out further 👍

Welcome along 👍👍, all those people telling you it was a bad idea must never of had a scoob then, one of the best cars i've ever had
