Here's to hoping! Yeah 2nd O2 sensor not there but the MOT uses the sniffer because they can't connect to the "OBD2" port being MEMS1.9 so if the holes are letting the in extra Oxygen the Lambda will read out but new pipe ordered anyway just...

🤞

I THINK I FIXED IT! (Long post) I took a look today before it started throwing it down and found a couple of things; Firstly I took the distributor cap off to inspect for water ingress from greenlaning and found OIL inside the distributor cap...

We may be remote but Ovens have been here for a while now 😀

Learn from the best 🤫 :p

That's my line 😀

I am glad to hear you've possibly sorted it! be sure to update the thread title to solved once you're sure - So other people finding this in the future know it's been solved

Hi Guys . Moved on a bit further with trying to sort the unreliable starting . I bought a new Camshaft Sensor three days ago and I have been trying the starting at least five times a day and so far all is good . Once again thanks to everyone for...

Welp, guess I'm towing it down, it seems the misfire in the previous posts is causing the issue - I've attached a picture of the emissions test - checked all plugs and they not only look good but actually quite good no wetness or fouling, so...

Front brake disc (albeit a ventilated one) weighs 5Kg.

Blimey yeah! I’ve been away and completely forget to keep ignoring! I think @MGT should come along to the meet-up and explain exactly what we’ve all been ignoring!

Oh yeah... I forgot about this - Well Guess I'll just ignore it

I wonder if someone has a OWUT contraption they could bring - Really need to test mine but have absolutely no will to build a contraption to test it just to work out I need to spend more money 😬

Sorry boys I have some bad news I've booked the ferry so your gonna have to listen to me droning on!!!! :banana: Edit: Assuming I make it that is. 🤣

Just bring it along in a few weeks… 😉 Given that you’ve replaced the dizzy etc., and it’s a keeper, I think I’d put new HT leads on it anyway, if it were mine. Depending on the plug conditions, those also. To check the main earth/s, I guess...

Well... Now my brakes are back to almost normal, I can return to this. I have booked an MOT for Thursday - to see if it'll pass emissions, but should it fail (it still has that odd misfire) I still have a few ideas, before I rebuild the motor...

Have faith… And a toolbox 😉👍

Booked the MOT for Thursday... fingers crossed it'll make it down there under its own power, if not I guess I'll be towing it :rolleyes:

I think Gel was merely thinking of the more salubrious county. Tell you what though, it would be epic to see @Alibro bring that machine all the way from NI. Would love to see it in the flesh, volts an' all.

So the defos are: @pscan.eu @Freddie17 @kernowsvenski @xDParis64 @Nodge68 @julianf @Alibro Others please PM me for location details. I will or have already sent to those listed above or they know already. Please mention to other F1 or F2 owners...

Emptied it and took the roof box off. Just shy of 750 miles in the last week in it 👍

The threads had been completely stripped, when I tried to do an oil change, the drain plug would spin, and it was cheaper and quicker for me to replace the pan than buy tools to re-tap new threads and find a new bolt that would fit and work...

Replaced the Oil pan, O2 Sensor, inlet manifold gasket and a coolant flush. The inlet ports were very wet, especially the one closest to the coolant port (bottom of the image) so I am hoping that was why the car was losing coolant... Obviously...

Got the old sump off, the only part I needed to remove other than the exhaust was the bracket that goes around the driveshaft and connects to the bottom of the sump to the IRD as it was in the way of one of the sump 10mm bolts, I am sure with a...

Well ill be down there this weekend so i will be sure to report back exactly what else is in the way if anything

The planning continues: The day will be 10am until 7pm obviously going on longer for anyone who wishes to camp overnight. Arrival anytime from 10am at the Farm. Precise location will be sent to those that PM me. There will be PScan...

So after the prestige of driving on a road trip to Dublin it's back to the day job. Brother in law is a farmer and a few years ago he let us build a horse arena for our daughter Rachel in his field. This is how I level it.

Is this for a K series? If it is then I don't think you need remove the IRD support bracket.

I did this a few years ago but don't recall moving anything other than the exhaust. At the time I was replacing the head gasket and ran into problems trying to remove the head bolts due to oil crystallising in the bolt holes. I had to pull the...

Do you remember what it is you had to move out of the way? Other than the exhaust which I see as quite obvious
