Looking for a full set of calipers for my 93VR6 Collection in the north east would be preferred as i imagine postage being rather high whats out there?? Cheers

Easy to forget once the splitter is on :-) Yeah a new washer bottle is on the list of things to do also, the list just keeps getting longer.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the manifold and rocker when I picked them up but once they were fitted I was happy wit the result...... Need to remove the expansion tank etc and get them cleaned up now, can't wait to get the stock air box fitted aswell!

Thatnsk man, car is running again today too :-)

Will check the tb vac pipe tomorrow, yeah the intake pipe is on nice and tight but I'm going to check everything again, just appears odd that its gone from idling fine to not even starting in a day.....I tout it was too good to be true after it started first time from standing for a couple of weeks......

Indeed the stuff is bloody everywhere!! It's all coming off once the weather improves. Had a couple of hours today working on the car......replaced the ht leads and started her up and all was good at idol, ran the car up to temp and gave it some revs, she then decided to die on me.....started car up again and it ran lumpy so suspect the isv......daft thing is I then decided to remove the head unit (never been fitted properly and was driving me mad) and now the car won't start at all......thinking it could be that the head unit it linked to immobiliser so need to go back tomorrow and refit it and see if I can get back to it running lumpy on idol and investigate from there. Anyhow on a brighter note I had the big camera with me so snapped a decent pic of the engine, got a stock air box on the way so will look even better next week! Once I sus this engine issue out I can get on with the body work :-)

The small box on the back of the engine I mention is the idol air control noise damper but I don't think this is the issue as I can see this preventing the car from stating....... Would a partially charged battery be enough to stop a car from starting?? I.e. enough to turn the engine but not enough to actually start it? ---------- Post added at 6:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 5:58 PM ---------- Should also add that the head unit was removed today, can this cause immobiliser issues?

Car is a 2.9 VR A little background info first.....changed the rocker gasket so at the same time I had the inlet manifold powder coated, got the car back together last week and fitted leads etc, fired the car up and it sounded like it was missing one cylinder or something like that, a little rough and the engine wasn't as stable as normal at tickover, on removal of the Leads again I found one was looking a bit worse for ware, no problem order a new set.... So I fitted my new ht leads to the car today. Car started fine, let the car get hot, fan kicked in great and ticking over as it should, all great I think to myself, give the car a few revs (about 5k) and as I take my foot off the power the engine dies, try to start the car again and it starts but is running rough again. Refit the leads to make sure they are ok and everything appears great so try again but the bad running continues. Go inside for a coffee and a think, come back outside and try start the car again and it won't fire up, engine turns over, I'm getting a spark but won't start (I presume it's turning over as I can see the belts turning) so I'm puzzled... Is it possible I have an air or vac leak somewhere? I can hear a faint hiss behind the intake coming from a black box with a hose coming off just before the TB. Any clues? Could it possibly be a coil pack issue? Any help would be great!

just received my dup power ones today... quality appears good and fitting them tomorrow ended up being £40 posted :-) ---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ---------- just realized you wanted red, dub power standard leads only come in black

Audi Nogaro Blue i would think...........

not to my taste, in a few of the pics the paint looks shocking also!! orange peel front bumpers!
