Sorry all was feeling a little sorry for myself earlier need to snap out of it especially when there are members so much worse off than I am for instance V70ETS, GregE102 & Mr PA.

Thanks for your...

I am not a confident mechanic I so want to be and somehow feel I am lacking something by not working on my car myself.My dad was a mechanic but never passed his skills to me to be honest we have...

Well this is interesting guys. I told my story to Simon @ FRF Swansea who is saying the ECU engine code 414 is the boost control solenoid.I have also been out and had a look at the BCS and the hoses...

Yep thats it bud and a length of rubber hose and your away.Or was that another one of my sexual fantasies :redface:

Cool how many hoses were there and how difficult a job was it ?

You have a nice S70R by the way.

Lovely car Greg glad its coming back together I know you have had a tough time recently.Liking how the car still looks very OE.

Its way down my list but I also want to look at suspension options...

Just read up re the turbo actuator and the technician certainly didnt mention having to remove the turbo to get at the actuator if that is what the problem was. Im pretty certain he called it a...

Thanks good old pookie has also suggested this.

Thanks guys I just assumed it was down to age same thing happened to my last T5.I think your right about the turbo actuator Liam.

Evening all

Evening buddy

I will either find a pic or take a pic for you.I think your car is a 1997 same as mine with the 4 speed box and the Sport Econ Winter buttons.You will need a Dexron III ATF I bought...

I have also had black cars with the same imperfections as yours and the best and only way to get the very best results is to machine polish it.A rotory polisher will cost you less than 50 quid plus a...

Very true buddy although I hope not to have to sell it for a while.Having said this one of the previous owners also left a note in the cars history asking for first refusal.None of this matters of...

How do you track it but keep it looking so mint.I guess you dont need to hear again how superb that looks.

Pookie put the car up on the ramps and unbolted the plug and drained off the bulk of the old ATF which gives you chance to have a quick brew.He replaced the plug then took the pipe out of the oil...
