A hard white coating is not always that bad, if they had carbon on them before, they can go white when that hardens off and gets properly hot. Personally i would fit a new set of plugs, check your...

I have declined the swap with the s40. However i have been given a 1999 Astra Estate for free so i have someone coming on saturday to look at the T5 for £1250 cash. Which i have no problems with.

Ok i have some pictures of the S40 now. Its the volvo engine not the GDI and its done 122k.

I think the S40 is genuine but i wont know till i test drive it on friday. I am very unsure and wary of this because as said i do love my T5. I would happily convert my T5 to LPG but i have NO...

i just saw that on the bay, its deffo not as nice as this one i have been offered. Ill wait to see what its really like in the flesh. Because if its not immaculate and runs perfectly in every way...

Yeah i have just been looking. The only downside is i know my T5 inside and out and i love it, i know nothing about the s40's and even though its supposedly mint i am unsure of its value and...

By low priced you mean the S40 is cheap or the T5 is cheap?

And what problems if any could arise from the s40 because my T5 is problem free and going strong. I also have a ported head, ported exhaust manifold, ported wastegate housing and reconned and...

I cant afford the insurance on 2 cars. So the T5 will be going anyway but i have 3 people interested at 1250, i am just wondering if i could get a MINT 1998 s40 1.8i with all those extras for that...

Would you guys consider a swap of a MINT Rica'd 1995 850 T5 with a few nice extras such as T5R suspension and S60R alloys for a mint 1998 S40 1.8i 16v on LPG on 17's with a magnex stainless, metallic...

Screws on mine, but i think you will have some kind of comeback to the dealer about the damage to your property without getting your consent. i know i would be hauling them over the coals for...

ill take some pictures tonight and post them up. I am almost certain its to stop the end float, its on the pulley side of the head.

I have now put the injectors through a series of ultrasonic...

Ok cool so on my car i currently have the std T5 tennis net manifold, and on my bench i have a tennis net manifold and a ME7 manifold too. and a nice cleaned ready to be flow tested set of white...

I have picked up a head off a V70 T5 today and plan to do some porting work and flow testing. Firstly though i thought i would set about stripping the head for a good recon and standard setup and to...

What years did the T5's get the 13mm stronger rods??

I always thought the oil to use in the T5 was supposed to be 5W40 Fully Synthetic

I have seen a 245 turbo estate for sale, only problem is its an auto. Now if i was to buy this car and want to convert it to manual, would the likes of the 940 turbo box bolt straight up? (as i have...

to keep the boost down get a boost controller, greddy one or apexi should do the job very well, on the expensive ones you can taylor the boost at given rpm's

i got a £30 on the spot fine from Mr Plod for light smoke tints in my mx5, they were LEGAL tints and let 30% of light through, however he reckoned you could not have the front windows tinted AT ALL...

Its soooo interesting all the stuff on the documentation. I have learnt a lot about how the EGR, EVAP, breather systems and turbo setup works by reading it, and i have a few checks to carry out on my...

Wow........quick re-write the physics books!!!! lol

I have got my hands on a LOT of genuine volvo dealer workshop manuals, specs, test procedures etc etc etc. If anyone is thinking about going megasquirt on their T5 i have all the sensor resistances...

Did the noise go away when it was warm? or just random because i have the same noise as you have described

Upping the fuel pressure is a bad idea on the standard injectors. From what i tried at uni upping the fuel pressure messed up the spray patterns of the injectors and promoted fuel droplets from the...

just plant your foot and the irritating drone will soon be drowned out by the song of the 5 pot.......however MPG will suffer lol

The wynns engine flush is well worth doing at every oil change, it helps remove carbon deposits in your engine (barring your turbo). I cant see it making a difference to the PCV system because thats...
