OK all i have some updates
fitted another new rad and a new thermostat and now the car doesn't leak!
the strange thing is the car still takes an age to register warm on the dial and for the fan to kick in, the only time it shows at the normal warm level is after a good run and then left to tick over on the drive!? my old sol got warm within 20 minutes of used and stayed showing as warm on the dial, this one sits at just above the C° mark until stood? anyone know why that maybe????
also got the
MOT'd and taxed so had the first run in it last night and found two issues!!
NEED HELP GUYS! fault 1 - Benny told me about this one - the engine mgmt light comes on at about 100kmph nothing happens to the car it just stays on and when i restart the car its not there, can anyone help with this? could it be becuase its reading in KMPH & not MPH (it doesn't appear to have a converter anywhere) Benny said he checked the code and it was the VSS sensor which i have now replaced so top stop before it happend but it has?
if you know of any other places a converter chip/box can be placed can you let me know so i check theres not a faulty one anywhere. fault 2 - The gear box is crunching when changing gear fast if i shift slow its fine but if its a fast shift it crunches into gear and i can feel it doing so via the gear stick!? Morf has said it could be the slave cylinder that requires bleeding? the clutch bite point has always been high and Benny did say it was like this from fitting the Stage1 or 2 clutch that is in it? - does that happen with higher rated clutches (i have never owned a car with one before?)?
Coilovers - tomorrow Ohlins off, Teshi's on
rear arms free'd camber corrected - slave cylinder bled and if all that goes well i will be happy if it still crunches not good
but ill work at it!!!
Again any help on the questions above it will be really appreciated guys & gals........
