its a shame that i've already bought my new uk lights

sorry alex. i guess i had a one of those moments . just had a look at the turbo and theres no flange for the downpipe to fit onto. . i'll talk to gregsupra4 to see how he fitted his. hey but for £530.19 all in delivered to the door . i'm sure it won't be a problem

i had the turbo and intercooler delivered today and both seem fine. checking my tracking number it seems that the manifold has arrived at the airport today. so will let you know of the manifold/downpipe fitment when it arrives.
-
my kit turned up this morning order was placed tuesday. only 3 days . i'll post a pic of turbo in the morning.

the size of the allen key is 12mm, you can buy a long socket type key. from a motor factor.

the tint will come off easy, its just the gluey residue left behind is the hard job. soapy water and a stanley blade will do the trick just mind the heater elements.

first time is difficult, then it gets easier

the whole thing will need re-doing mate.

its normal for the water to start pouring out when it gets hot as it expands. might be worth just getting a new rad cap first. as they do tend to fail.

try adjusting the two rubber bonnet adjusters on the slam panel.

well were do i start been working on landrovers for sometime now. good fun if you like getting your hands dirty, as they always leak oil from hub seals/crankseals/transferbox seals. clutch cyclinders leak.etc. not slagging them off but be warned. now for the newer ones td5 engines. we have a fleet of these at work. and all of them suffer bore wash ( diesel)
-
might be worth checking for vaccum leaks around the throttle body and manifold. before you go adjusting things.
-
on a serious note when i done my valenting coarse we were taught to remove all excess water off the car by squeegee.
-
i guess it depends on the quality of your towel
-
samsupra37 just for reference what is a K nut ? as i have ordered the same turbokit as gregsupra4. i guess its somthing that will need checking.
-
just phone a ford dealer and talk to them, might be on a recall, if so it will be done for free.
-
silly question but have you got the correct coolant mixture? as climate control is quite sensitive. ( i no some peeps on here will disagree, but heh who cares )
-
i've got a stock twins complete with manifold for a uk spec if you're intrested
-
depends on type of engine, model and year. poss causes. vacumm leak/temp sensor/idle valve/choke (carburettor)/ disi cap etc etc
-
SUPRO maybe you can arrange staff discount with them i,m sure they will do anything to let the matter die.
