Taking my car apart ..........

2058220583

I have drained cooling stystem ready to fit new hoses, Have removed all turbos pipes, Fule rail, inlet manifold, Removed the whole PCV system, cleaned the idle control valve and other bits. Now to Order the rest of the PCV kit, and new inlet gasket and wait for my RIP kit to Arrive from sweden and put it all back together hopefully......................................... .................


I bought myself a 170 piece socket set yesterday , so though i better try it out!!! I had my lambada light come on and off a few times recently , and after stripping everything i was amazed at how clogged up things were... Carb cleaner is awesome for getting rid of it. Also my PCV breather pipe were snapped in 2 places and some of the Evap pipes are badly degrading. Im hoping with all this new cleaner kit going back in it should run like a dream.

What have you been doing today

I used a quide someone sent me to remove the intel manifold..... The guy who did the guide suggested it would be a pain and take ages to come off. With some racket spanners and extentions sockets it was out in Mins.Wiring loom is something i think i will NEVER touch..... I havent had a good past with electrics....!!!!

Is that onlin shopping.... I did ebay stalk you Graham..... feedback of over 4000.............!!!!! You have bough ALOT on ebay lol.

p.s when you purchased your RIP kit did you have to wait for the swedish seller to Claim you paypal payment.........??? I did buyitnow, paid , but it says he hasnt accepted/claimed the payment yet. I guess its encase hes sells the stock from his website directly, then he hasnt got 3buyers for only 2 items.....
