Re: Onslow's new motor.

57 fucking quid for 4 plugs,air and oil filter. Still has a brief flat spot but no pulsing at low throttle. After the holiday it's having fuel filter and rocker gasket.

Re: Onslow's new motor.

The 2.0 tdci/hdi had the typical injector and turbo issues. I was talking to my wife about it the other day because we were talking about fuel economy, insurance and when renewal is due. The general consensus seems to be the diesel does around 8 mpg better than mine and we were discussing if it's ac...

Re: Onslow's new motor.

I mean it's more likely that than lowering it. I've got bigger issues to sort out than ratting it. I do like the rat look though.

No chance of me doing that. What's more likely is blocking the turrets,bigger tires and wide arches so it sits higher,sort of mad Max meets Mondeo.

Re: Onslow's new motor.

Still the same trims on as when I bought it. Tempted to frisbee them though and paint the steels.

Re: Onslow's new motor.

Re: Onslow's new motor.

Re: Onslow's new motor.

The plan is to get all filters,plugs and oil changed. Plugs can be had for 30 quid and I've got a new bottle of oil in the workshop to use but with 200 quid spent on tyres and takeaway being a bit dry the past few weeks it's took its toll. Costs me nearly 240 a month for tax and insurance before the...
