  1. Not touched the metering head. whats WUR? I got a 4 branch and a 3 inch exhaust system. no cat and stuff. I read a thread and they mention brakes binding or bearings, I deffo need to fit new bearings. I do remember getting 30+ mpg in the past. What do you thing might it be on the 2.0l?
  2. I was wondering if somehow the mpg was linked to how hot the engine is running at? I normally get about 24/25 mpg to and from work( 25 miles round trip mostly motorway), and the motor normally gets up to a good running temp, But I just done a 60 round trip in a the daily all motorway on just touched 22mpg, and the only thing I noticed different was the temps, oil was 80oc and the coolant was about the same which is low compared to normal. Its very cold outside to this is a 16v.. any thoughts?
  3. alright aide.. I didnt have much time as I was outside and had no light. I just ended up replacing the flange on the front, lower manifold gasket, cam cover gaskets ( these were fudged as there was oil all over the plug leads, I need new plugs now and dizzy cap. need to make a list lol) replaced the coolant for G20++ to.. and it did the trick, very happy its sorted now. Its must be the exact same issue my silver valver had but I had no idea what I was doing at that time. I'll have to do the cams next time. Im booked onto a rolling road so I want it done before then. I was very lucky I could get all these parts off the shelf at TPS, ECP and GSF, I had to be driven around them all by my granddad, I bought him some McEwans for his troubles :) Ryan
  4. Yesterday the car started to play up. I should have sorted it out before painting the wheels for example.. I will never learn :( I need to replace the cam cover gaskets today and replace the flange on the head at the front. Ive been really lucky and a mate has sourced all the parts for me today and I will be collecting them soon. Question is I got KR cams in the Shed and I think this is the best chance Im gonna get to fit them. Ive fitted them before on my other valver, will these need to be perfectly timed up, if I leave marks on it I should be ok? whats the best thing I should do? thanks
  5. I've found a water leak coming from the head at the front where the water hose comes in, so I think it'll need a new rubber seal there at least
  6. Ive changed the switch recently for a neuspeed one and it was working really well, kickin in on time to
  7. old thread, same issue, different car. The Daily :( Im gonna try the coolant bottle and cap change I think, new oil and coolant, hope it works. Its started this week, TBh oil levels where low and since I had this car its not had an oil change and filter change, so I'll get this sorted asap hopefully. It started misfiring badly today sounds like its chugging. sounds awful. I hope i've not fudged it
  8. I dont know why I got 2 either tbh. I dont wanna sell my silver valver cause I'll get such poor money for it, Id rather keep spending on it till I get a decent car out of it
  9. not a good day for pics, will get better soon as poss.
  10. no paint at all, they are better metal to or something
  11. you can still buy these kinda cheap from TPS
  12. I bought and had a garage fit a set of handbrake cables from ECP. The end of the cable is not the same as the ones that were taken off. There was a ball on the end that sits on the hook that pulls the lever. My new ones dont have a ball, just a bit of metal on the end and they just dont work with the mk4 calipers, the gap on the lever is too large for the end of the cables I got.. Hope this makes sense. I will get a pic up to help.
  13. sorry to keep asking this question but the title of my thread in the members gallery is old and I cant change it myself. If its possible, can somebody just make it "My aqua Valver and not "Aqua Valver.. stainless coming" .. I got a stainless now :) thanks http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?40478-Aqua-Valver..-stainless-coming
