beat me to it

yeah i know what you meant.. but i aint taking the rocker cover off just for a bit of oil in the inlet manifold lol

all caps still there.. valve clearances.. well they look fine when looking inwards

nah it's blanked off (was cleaned after it was blanked)

Got a new intercooler + pipes fitted last night.. but got to clean this thing out just wanted to make sure i wasn't putting it back on for it to be full of oil in a few weeks time

Any ideas on cleaning it out and the causes? Oil seal in turbo?

oh and the hardest part of the week was building up the galv doors.. NIGHTMARE job.. but once i knew where all the bits went.. the other one was a quick hour job..

The new heater box arrived few days ago.. fitted the new fan.. and tonight just started to add the new intercooler kit ..

I was looking at this. Good price point. What’s you opinions on the finishing of the end piece

Oooo which one?

Unplug the switch and check it. Could be gone

Bad earth, water, does it do it with the hazards?

To be a MOT tester.. you've got to be a qualified mechanic (it's one of the requirements).. I'm sure if you said "hey what's wrong with my brakes you failed them on the MOT.." they'll tell you the issue so you can get it rectified..

or the bias or the pads or the fluid or the cylinder or the pedal etc.. just ask the MOT garage why it failed.. it's not hard?

Take it to a mechanic. If you don't know what the issue is based off the description. Then I would seek professional advice on the brakes. When they do a MOT they test all brakes (including handbrake) to see make sure they brake correctly.

they're such a pain to change and pull off also.. for the price of a new one it's definitely worth the head ache of trying to pull the old one off.. had a hydraulic puller on the last one i did.. refused to move so just pulled out the grinder and Dremel
