The package stealth do is 1400 but mine cost me just under 2k as they found loads of other bits that needed doing. Vince says most chains should be changed at around 100k and just cos they aint noisey dont mean they dont need doing
-
I would get the chains checked a.s.a.p mine ran very well no noises pulled 201.6 bhp on the rollers and when i took the cover plate off the chains to get it pollished i found the chains had never been done. My car had done 136k

Sounds like you may have a problem with the air flow meter try the connection on the top
-
Thanks for the reply. The power rohr is just a polished pipe to replace the crapy plastic bend on the air intake after the mass meter
-
Just fitted a power rohr to my vr6 and on removing the pipe from the oil breather i found it had a big split in it (the pipe not the breather). So i have now replaced that with a new bit of pipe but as i couldnt get one with bends in it I have removed what seems to be a fake sensor. I un plugged it and it has no pins in it and just seems to be a plastic tube ? Do i need this what does it do ? I took the car for a quick spin and it seems to runb fine has a bit more bottom end if anything.

Yeah its always worth checking. It could be a bad earth on something else though its not always down to the amp or stereo earth. Maay be worth checking the plug leads
-
Could also be down to the alternator needing a re build
-
As i found out though it doesnt matter what you buy you will still spend money on it. If you find one with a mint body it will probably need engine work or one with a mint engine will need bodywork. There is no such thing as a cheap godd rado
-
Would like a set of those may be worth trying to do a group buy
-
Well I have the same problem with my miltek too and its really getting to me now. I wont say who fitted it but they did know what they are doing and have had problems with every one so far and it all seems to have something to do with the bend over the rear axle
-
Keep seeing a few about but was wondering if any use this site ?
-
No mate already checked that as said in my first post didnt kmow if there was another connector along the way though
-

-

-

-
My fan packed up today afetr removing and re fitting my stereo. I have checked the plug that goes into the back of the heater switch and the fuse is ok but it dont work. Is there another plug I may have upset or anything else I can check dont want to spend any cash just had an engine re build
-
I have black cloth recaros in mine will post some pics after work
-
probably due to the fact the car was moving before it will get hotter stood still
-
I normally get an oil temp of 98 to 106 ish. as for getting the oil out you will need to fill the sytem up and empty it a few times
-
hate to say it mate but you should have marked it all up before you took the chains off may be worth speaking to vince at stealth see if he can help
-
