  1. Yes, I see your conern having noticed a 6 BAR to 4 BAR max situation, with effectively having made no changes apart from minor overheat. Stumped then really. 10w to 50w is a thin oil though, and the hotter it gets 'now your on boost' where you weren't before, will see a pressure drop (amount I wouldn't even hazard a guess at), and a warm climate in Portugal will only make it worse. Nether the less though it is a condition change, but granted you say it was higher before. As Chris has suggested it could make a difference if it's failed, but you would be seeing loads of blue smoke 'i would have thought' with the oil being burnt off. So I agree with Chris, be surprised if it's that unless your seeing something to make you think it is. Do you have an oil breather set up? and how clean is it if you have one. Assume all the joints, caps and everything related to that is all tight and secure. Granted though your probably taking a oil pressure reading from a gallery location, just after the pump has done it's work. I'm out of any other suggestions
  2. Isn't the oil pressures from the Toyota manual as follows: - Idle, 7.1PSI (0.49 BAR) or more. At 4,000 rpm, 47-84 PSI (3.241 - 5.792 BAR). How far outside of those limits are your readings? What oil viscosity are you running? As I am sure your aware. A thin viscosity will give a lower oil pressure reading in the summer months, and now you have been seeing proper boost after running in the hotter the engine oil will be giving a lower reading. Well I for one certainly hope this isn't the end, you have overcome all your problems to date. My fingers are crossed for you.
  3. Great video that. Super smooth
  4. Sorry to hear your having trouble. I guess we can assume that your many thousands of miles running in, would have got the engine hot enough to open the thermostat for the cooler? If not and you have only just started leaning on it, could it be the first time the cooler has become operative. I only suggest this as if it's never had oil in it, then when its filled would this have given a pressure drop? I'm assuming you didn't add any more oil to the system, so would expect the oil level to have dropped a little. If it were me, I would put the oil side of things back to stock. Do a pressure check on cranking, then cold, and running, and see what you get. I wouldn't have thought a minor overheat would effect the oil pressure, especially not in a negative way ie. Less pressure when running. Seems never ending Nb. I assume you haven't also got really long oil lines to the relocation, which will also cause a negative impact on the pressure of the system (once it's in full operation, thermostat fully open).

    Just truely unbelievable. I find it incredible these sorts of people survive, when others are so unfortunate in life.

    Bloody looking incredibly close. Leaves going to take it though, pretty damn sure of that P45's anyone

    I am wondering what all the Glastonbury attendees have done about voting. Most people already seem to be there judging by yesterday's news. Some 200,000 expected.
  8. Great updates. Certainly already came along way since the sales thread was abandoned. Will be just like a new car

    Welcome. Nice number too
  10. Sorry Annabella, late response from me. The attachment process directs me straight to a music folder, and even though I try to navigate to another folder it just doesn't let me. I circumnavigated the issue by using my Gmail to forward to my hotmail in the end, to continue the message I was trying to send. Bloody computers
  11. Congratulations on a great purchase, always loved the red. I would remove one of those pictures as this is a public forum, and you never know who may come calling. You will miss the car Matt, sorry to see you sold up
  12. It's not like the old tag team, but it was never going to be was it. I forgot it was on and stumbled upon it by chance tonight, I just try to view it as a new programme. Wasn't too bad, but I will watch anything with decent cars in it
  13. This is on a non desk top, it's just a pad. I never had a problem before at all, soon as it updated it won't let me attach pictures from the gallery.
  14. Hi all, Has anyone else experienced the problem since Outlook updated you can't attach pictures to emails? It diverts me to 'One Drive Cloud' to attach files, but won't let me attach pictures from my gallery. I don't save any files on the cloud, but this is making me think it's pushing people in that direction. I have checked and double checked settings, but there isn't anything that can be changed to my knowledge. Look forward to any advice, views, feedback.
  15. I don't normally comment in the for sales section, unless it's for good reason. But this is one of the most honest, and refreshing posts I have seen in a long time. Best of luck whatever your future plans.
  16. Interested in the coil packs, if they are brand new and unused. Could you let me know please.
  17. Bet your looking forward to the show season. I assume the 6 speed is in, and all is well?
  18. Cheers guys, now sold. Great buy I agree, and the best exhaust I have had the pleasure of owning
  19. The exhaust bung is a silencer fitting that can be bolted into the rear silencer. It is used to reduce the exhaust sound, basically make it quieter. I have never needed it as it makes a lovely sound.
  20. Unfortunately, or fortunately as i call it. I don't have Face Book
  21. Just had similar PM. I think I have priced it well including delivery, as I don't expect that to be cheap if I'm honest.
  22. No. I think you must be thinking about a mid pipe or down pipe, which this is neither of those. This is a end of 2nd cat back or end of mid pipe back exhaust system.
  23. Price reduced to Now sold. NB: If paying via Pay Pal use Gift or add the fees on top.
