  1. have had bit more of a look seems to be 2 lives into relay but only one to fuel pump have swapped relays round so know thats ok also with ignition switch on 2 the air idle sensor is making a high pitch whine and the map sensor is clicking you can feel something going on! these stop as you disconnect them are these normal?

    I'm not that good with electrics so I will not pass comment but the pump will only run for a few seconds then stop once the fuel rail get up to presure.

  2. Are there any instructions on how to remove/fit these on this forum?

    Hang on

    a clicking is the CV only on full lock, a knock when you go over bumps on the road is the wish bone ball joint which is a much easyer job and very very comon they all go.

    Speed bumps speed up their wear

    that just swap the arms over there about £80 ish off the top of my head..

  3. It really hasnt got that WOW FACTOR looks like many other cars quashqi that nissan thing ,vauxhall bmw and many others might appeal to women though

    That’s a bit strong it's a view from 45deg and its black with yellow swirls, if you wrapped up Katy Perry on a black and yellow blanket I would expect she would lose her wow factor

  4. Agreed

    there was nothing wrong with the cage MSA wise it fully complied but the car is nearly ten.

    The original cage is connected to some box steels under the floor which you can’t see in the pics.

    The majority of the MSA cages rely on the rear hoop but mine is far back in comparison with most.I can’t be bothered to get into the ins and outs of cages as I don’t know enough but you have always been competing with mouse etc. so you will only have known the international regs which is what the racer is now rated as and not the clubman etc. which is what it was.

    Hence why you can see I decided to up rate it.

  5. After racing out in Dubai and Abu-Dhabi at the beginning of the year and blasting round the desert in a FIA spec Range Rover Classic I was left feeling a little exposed in my racer when I got home so I had a quick chat with Dan up at PPC and he has updated my MSA spec cage to International. I managed to go and collect the car this weekend.[/size][/font]

    This is what he did for me none of the original blue cage was removed only added to.

    All I need to do is spray up the new cage parts and install the fire bulkhead in a way to make the roof removable so it can be a summer toy as well as a racerbiggrin.gif

    I have to say I'm very happy with it, and Dan and his guys were very helpful and freindly on Sat when I collected the car.

  6. Thanks for the advice. My bad wording i wouldnt say it was a sudden loss but say you are on the motorway and you increase your right fooot it can feel like there is a brick wall in front off you then suddenly you will get the power back,.

    A guy at work had his temp sensor switch go as well he just complaned about the fuel it was using. I noticed the black soot on his back door of his 1.8 , my racer did one as well.

  7. If you can undo a bolt and do it back up you should manage this. smile.gif

    I normally change all three bushs when they go.

    you may need to borrow a set of ramps if you don't have any to get the ars up in the air safely.

    Remove the bush bolts three on each and remeber the diff is heavy(its still connected to the prop and CV's but it will hurt you hand if you drop it), then refit the bush's one at a time don't tigten them back up untill all are fully inplace as if you do you will not get the last bush inplace, been there done thatblink.gif .

    I dont even take the wheels off when I change them. (the pics that Jon posted ois for the complete diff removel which is not ehat you need to do but its shows the bush's being removed.)

    This is what the knacked bush will look like.

    Thay may look the same but each bush is difrant

    It can be fiddly you only need to nudo the bushed don't remove anything else but its about an hours job with some decent spaners and a socket set and taking into account a cup of tea or two.

  8. Might be going again after not being there for years. Last Billing visit was 1998...

    I was there with my Light weight that year its was very hot as I left the roof off all weekend I had the erbun camo one with the rather loud V8 and 1500w stereo ph34r.gif yes I'm still that big kid.

    As normal I'm going this year I don't know what car I'm taking it may just be the rangy.

  9. I did some welding on a p38, luckily it caught alight, the fire brigade were late getting there, luckliy it finally sorted all my problems! biggrin.gif

    laugh.gif

    My dad always used to say half a right off is no use to man nore beast.....

    My boss is into BMW's and from what I can tell a P38 is cheap and relyable motor in comparison....

    we managed to get the fixings out without welding new head on...so I don't need to weld to it yet....

  10. Will be there marshalling/winching Jules out before the event has even started......

    Jon

    I wish

    the 110 is awaiting its 4.2 to be installed so its off the road

    the P38 I bought a month ago has just farted and sort of sh*t it's self on my birthday on the way home from work so I can't go and collect the racer on saterday like I had planned

    and the 90 which is a mates who I havent see for seven months has just phone he will be back this weekend and is the 90 ok.....

    huh.gifhuh.gif

  11. I'm having issues with a rear bumpers fixing heads having rotted off and I was going to weld a new bolt onto them.

    last time I disconnected the battery on a P38 I fried the high low stepper motor ecu. is there any recommendations

    I don't want to frie any more ECU's
