People Running Front Solid Engine Mounts Please read....
Blinky16v replied to Shaggy's topic in Engine Bay
I would imagine my 153 BHP will not be a problem for this mount... Sadly for safetys sake I think i'll get rid of it go back to the standard mount. Real bummer man, I loved that mount as well! -
Top Gear managed to film their runs... so not a blanket ban then :) Have a great run round the ring!
-
Not had a chance for a good long run, but first impressions are good. It starts and idles better but one thing I have noticed is that it is smoother to drive.. So all in all, it was worthwhile :) I've got a good long run downt he M3 on Saturday morning so that'll be the teller. Thanks again for your help all!!
-
Well, all sorted. Sprayed the WD40 onto the injector o rings and they slipped right in!! Many thanks all for the advice, simple job with direction!

I had mine done at Yaash, cost me £50 (I supplied the parts)

Cheers David, I'll check that :)

Washing up liquid eh... mmmm Was going to get the missus KY out but that'll do nicely. I lube it up and give it a good ramming home in the appropriate hole... and then go do my injectors...

Tell you what Phil, they are so tight I snapped a rat tail file trying to lever the bugger into the Inlet manifold last night, they are as tight as a ducks ar5e. Just worried about applying too much pressure to the metal fuel lines as they do seem to bend... It had a good 16 stone of weight pushing on it last night and it just did not budge... I will however try some lubrication :) Really weird as the other 2 went in fine...

With regards to Oil Pressue - Is it mechanical or Electrical? I believe you can plug the Oil pressure sender into the topof the Oil Filter Housing. Use the "Search" mate there is a load of info on this sort of stuff.. mainly asked by me...

Possible winner for funniest read of the month

Well bugger me, there really are people out there with no brain and are happy to advertise it on the internet.. this guy is clearly an oxygen theif and should drive his corsa off a cliff. Maybe if he reclines the front seats as well he'll fly.... -
Cheers lads, I'll give those ideas a go today :)

Well, just changed them and it's very straight forward, took me about 30 min to change the lot. They just pull out, there were no clips, but... two injectors went in fine and the rubber "o" rings seated into the inlet manifold, but the last two would not go in at all and man I put some force on them. Any ideas how to push them in? The car runs ok, but I'm guessing the last two injectors need to me pushed in harder.. most odd :)

davidwort, good question, my C also passed its last MOT no probs and has low CO emissions and is very economic (40 - 44 MPG on the motorway at 80mph), plus it goes well. BUT, it just doesn't run as smooth as it did when I first got it (even before the mods to the engine). Reading through this forum, changing the injectors is a good thing to do when you suffer the symptons I've got (probs starting, running a little rough sometimes etc...) so, I decided that'd be the next purchase. Aye it's alot of money, but thats what owning a C is all about :)
