Ep82, if there's a difference...

Anyone got one kicking about? As long as it isn't pissing fluid it'll do...

Gah! got my car back with a ct9 hybrid fitted, but the boost hadn't been set. Adjusted the actuator several times no problem, then tried once more - unhooked it, the wastegate flopped open, turned it a notch tighter, then tried to close the wastegate -it was completely stuck! tried to get it up...

I needed a new turbo, was thinking i'd get a rebuilt CT9 that would last a while, then saw this advwertised and thought I might as well put in a bid. It is currently being fitted, so informed the insurance company. In the past they've been fine about mods, even the turbo conversion was no...

I need a standard CT9, ideally that has been removed within the last 2-3 weeks. Thanks!

When accelerating uphill, the car jerks quite unpleasantly, in a manner similar to fuel cut though less violent. Once it passes about 3500rpm (or reaches full boost?) it accelerates smoothly. I wondered if it was a spark plug issue as they've been in need of replacing for a while, but a new...

Hi Guys, Not been around much lately, my apologies for not enlightening your lifes with my dazzling wit and wisdom more often... Anyway, my mate has offered me his VW sharan VR6 with about 220,000 miles and a blown head gasket for £300...the question is, is it worth my while? I reckon it...

For sale: 2 ton shop crane Item Condition: used a couple of times, had to be straightened out after someone used it without the braces fitted properly (see image). Price and price conditions: £80 collected Pictures: Contact Details:PM or dont_tell_him_pike@hotmail.com...

I've gone and done something really rather stupid just now - I've locked the only key we have for the corsa in the corsa. It's an 03 plate, pre-facelift (which I believe makes it a corsa C?), can anyone advise as to whether I can get in without breaking a window? I'd ask any useful replys be...

Having recently done a turbo conversion on my Sera, I also had to replace the exhaust. The old one was a pretty good stainless cat-back one, which I promised to someone I shall refer to as person 1 at the beginning of March, but they said they needed it by the end of the month for the MOT. It...

My Sera has just had a rear disc conversion and been MOT'd, but it has failed on the back brakes. The guy reckons it may need a different master cylinder, has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone confirm if the master cylinder is any different, or if there's something else he's missing...

Some of you may remember I had a blue Sera turbo that was written off last november after I was hit by a truck. The car was a cat B, but I fought tooth and nail and managed to get the car back from the insurers. I then stripped it down, removed the engine and surviving performance parts, ordered...

My written off car had tanabe sustec springs and shocks, all of which are ok, but the top on one of the fronts looks slightly bent. So, couple of questions: The tops look standard, are they? If so I'll use the top from the corresponding standard suspension unit from my new car. is it a...

As above, I need the lower bracket from the PAS pump along with all the bolts, if possible also the bolt that holds it at the top. I'd also like to have a go at fitting the starlet coolant tank as it looks like it'd fit better in the space I want to relocate mine to. Also, my car is...

Today I removed the 5E-FTE from my wrecked Sera: When investigating, I removed the offside mount, and found the crank casing looks like this: As you can see, one bolt sheared, fixable, one bolt bent, mounting point is fine, but the bottom left mounting point is cracked. These cracks go...

As we all know in the UK and Ireland GTs, Glanzas and hot hatches generally seem to attract the wrong kind of attention from the fuzz, but in japan they clearly have a different attitude - A Malaysian Sera owner who bought an EP82 front cut reports that the car's log says it once belonged to a...

I've decided to have a go at an engine swap myself, so need an engine crane. I'd be willing to buy a used one that I can then sell on, but if anyone has one they won't need for a few weeks and is near Sheffield, that would be brilliant!

As above I need the king lead from a pre-92 set of magnecor leads, preferably in blue but red will do.

How should i go about draining the fuel from the tank of my dead Sera? (aside from the 'mad max' approach...) Any suggestions welcomed!

Driving down eccy road (a road in sheffield lined with trendy bars where wankers go to pose) the other day and I keep hearing this weird grinding noise from the back of the car. turned the radio down, noticed it was happening when I was pulling away in 1st, but the car feels fine. wondered if it...
