Ah, I see thanks! My EGR has already been blanked, so that's why it'll be disconnected already.

Between the engine and brake fluid reservoir, I've gathered so far they're vac pipes? One came loose and my brake pedal went rock solid. I'd like to clean and tidy them up but I'm not really sure what to do with them. Additionally there's two connectors out of shot and two plugs (one covered...

Based on my VIN I have the 'upgraded' version already, and when I came to replace the radiator I didn't even have a pipe connected to the blanked off radiator connection. I reckon if you take a look down past the viscous fan to the bottom connectors you'd be able to see if just one or both is...

Bleed screw has a leak... it's already a metal one so looks like it's probably stripped the hose threads. dammit!.

Well that's been very interesting indeed. Mostly due to lets call them "modifications" made by a previous owner. I seem to have no mounting brackets for the radiator etc to screw into at the front - only to hold the intercooler from underneath. Also never seemed to stop getting bubbles from the...

Oh. Well that's a 2 same as the TSB too, so I still think I'm OK.

Ah, OK. My VIN is A74... so looks like I don't need to do anything. But thanks for the heads up. Weird that they would totally block a port like that, though.

Instructions look the same as the RAVE I have. What do I need to do with regards those bottom ports?

I'd still want a replacement radiator on standby just in case :D

Oh, and thats the other thing; one of the other symptoms I'm getting is that the heater doesn't blow warm unless I keep the revs up. Presumably needing to be above 1500RPM to activate the bypass. Assuming I'll need to do that when driving with the LiquiMoly, as well as when flushing to make sure...

OK, straight up I am looking for a possible shortcut here, and I'm prepared to be disappointed. That fragile bleed hose connector on my radiator has cracked, so need to replace the unit. Going to do it over the weekend with some help. Anyone local welcome to come join the fun haha. I was hoping...

Like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121245748985 Heard they can be pretty noisy?

Definitely not warped manifold, I've had that 3 times so I know how it sounds. There's a now a very sturdy stud in the head that's going nowhere.

Ah, thats a shame.

Last week had the great pleasures of replacing the steering bars and the alternator. Uneven wear on one front tyre led me to take her in for tracking; garage spent an hour trying to free up the rusted bars to no avail. Spent over an hour and half a can of WD40 to loosen all the bolts (mostly on...

I literally only ever have to unplug and replug the one under the passenger seat and it goes away...

Specifically exhausts... Mine's blowing - can smell it at a stop with window open - and getting worse. Not too sure exactly where from just yet, need to try some ways to locate it. I'm thinking I may be able to do this myself (I'm learning bits and getting more confident), but am pretty...

I couldn't find a roof rack I liked, so designed my own and got it made (not the one in my profile picture). Cost me £300 total - though the actual mounting brackets came on the old rack with the car.

The manifold and head were both skimmed and fettled a few months back, replacing one stud that repeatedly failed with a much larger one; that's going nowhere haha. The carbonisation is a good tip; combined with the hand over the exhaust from above, hopefully I can find it. Can I get some tape...

Yep, it was the tracking. Or I should say *is* the tracking since the adjusters are completely seized they couldn't actually move them. Nice job for next week to fit some new ones and take her back again.
