  1. no, i dont know how to do that?.. whats the score with the error codes?
  2. funny you should say Traction control as that light is flashing too. along with the ABS light and the warning light..
  3. yep Yeah, Car was £10k Yeah Its still not resolved with my insurance company. Due to the facts of the crash, they have only just recieved the police report. Everything i've paid so far is out of my own pocket I've never sold much supra stuff. I stripped the car but there wasnt that much really, i mean who wants a fire wall?! lol. I sold a few items a a few quid here and there. maybe a few hundred quid back? My current estimate is £75k over 3 years from buying the car to today. most of that is getting screwed and smashing up the first car and then getting screwed some more.
  4. Good point, could be indeed. V.good point. what could the impact have done though? it didnt encroach the engine bay apart from the fan and all the stuff before the fan like the radiator was replaced. the actual engine seemed fine. Couldnt drive the car as the impact was front left which wasted the wheel etc
  5. The bones of it is the cars not running properly, or at all as it seems.. see below This problem seems to be two fold. Picked the car up from Hyper yesterday evening. I asked Mr Wild to meet with me to have a look as it was just not running right. (Cheers for that bud ) From the off it seemed not right but it got worse. At first it seemed like it was missing now and again. when i got on the road i accelerated, but there seemed to be no grunt there. the turbos were spooling normaly and the BOV was dumping but there seemed to be no boost going to the engnine. By the time i met up with Rob the car was not running well at all. the missing seemed to be worse and it was hard to get the car to go get going fast in the slightest. The exhaust was blurby and irrelgular. By the time i was a few mile from my house what seems to be the second problem kicked in. (or maybe its just the first one getting worse anyway, the transmition seemed to be slipping further and further away from the power of the engine. the cars was at 4.5k rpm and moving like a slug. By the time i got to my house, and this is an absolute stroke of luck, i pulled up just before the drive and it stopped completely from pulling. 6k rpm in "D" and the car woudlnt budge! The engine seemed to engage the box though as in D without a touch of the accelerator the revs rised, it just wouldnt move the rear wheels. Got a few peoplet to help me push the car onto the drive. I'm convinced however that something hasnt been put back right. I mean the engine was perfect before the swap, and so was the transmission, so it must be something to do with not sorting electricals or not putting something back right. I tell you something though. i'm sick of paying mechanics top dollar. How the hell there should be something wrong with the engine and / or transmission is beyond me. The amount of my money thats go down the drain only to pay someone else to throw it down the drain is a joke. Dont know whether to laugh of cry!!
