How's things coming along?
sorry mate just seen this.Originally Posted by bood
intercooler is now on and looks lush. when i clean the car ill take some pics. also fitted a bailey header tank. moved oil cooler. sorted some dodgy pipe work. car runs better than ever now. but needs some new tyres. sorting that this week.
well busy day today. oil leak is now fixed. so thought id take the bumper/grill/intercooler/rad and bonnet off so i could get to the block and give it a bit of a clean and fix some crappy wiring. hears some pics.
before.
look at the soldering that has been done.
after some cleaning and repairing of some wires.
back together after coolant change. came across some small problems. my fan relay has died so took the one from my fogs for now as they have no bulbs, o i also fitted a new tdc sensor.
also i have some questions. what are all these wires from?
can anyone help with this i dont like loose wires.
also temp fitted my oil catch tank.
Orange and brown near sump are for OE oil pressure sender unit.
Blue purple and black… mmmm think they are perc fan, will have to check the book first though…
thats great thanks mate. i did think perc fan but wanted to check before removing them totally.
with the oil pressure wires how does it work as i have 2 sensors. one in the block and one in the oil feed for the turbo ( as seen in first clean picture ) bu each has only one connector,
and i was told the two wires are a pair that go together.
Good effort there, must of took some time getting the grime off!Should help with future tweaking as won't need glove to keep ya hands clean, or at least that's what I tell myself when scrubbing away.
Good work there mate glad to see it coming along well
thanks mate. its getting there slowly. want to make sure its ready for french car show in june.
well went over to see me old mate stevo today after work to "play with he cars" got a few bits done. so hears some pics.
hope you like.
Niiice
Double trouble....nice
thanks guys.
the wheels do look good. apart from my front pass side one. im not going to go into it as it upsets me
some stupid bint run me off the road and its curbed to fudge. so im going to sort that and polish the outer lip on mine.
and woznaldo there gray. i forget the actual colour.
Great pics, both cars look great
Edit - having used some Autoglym tyre dressing for the first time this week, I can thoroughly recommend it for your wheels Smithy.
ill be getting some of that then mate.
Damn they look good
totally agree!!!!
It took me about 30 seconds to apply to all the wheels on my Mrs' Focus, they were dull/brown to begin with and came up great. I used about half the amount this guy does here, no need to rub in or anything:

Looks like it's about £6 though:

I usually spray some into a small cup and use a paint brush to apply, less waste and chance of over spray getting on alloys and paint work.
nice!!! ill get some tomorrow and put some new "cleaner" pics up
thanks guys.
