Hi Waterboy, yes if you want it solid, i drilled a couple of 4mm holes and before i put the bolts through i put lots of copperslip through the holes and around the bolts , im not concerned about it rusting now, ,

Refitted my freshly painted door handles, having treated the rusting backing plate lugs and then zinc primed them. |

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...370aafb6a7.jpg Unfortunately the previous owner broke the OEM ones internally so they wouldn't adjust for the MOT. Had to replace them and OEM is like £300 each for decent ones! So I opted for these for £200 brand new and have been thinking ever since about how to make them look o.k. lol. |
Finally fitted my oil temp sensor above cylinder 3.
not sure if my wife is super strong or if I loosened it for her but we got it off. While installing I used maths to clean out the intercooler and brake cleaner to clean the breather pipes out. Quite a lot of gunk in one end. Also spent an hour cleaning the engine bay while the cooler was off. only kicker is I knocked the spacer that the intercooler bolts to off and can't locate it. I love tackling jobs and it all working. The car fired up quicker than ever. Maybe the meth vapour helps? https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f483498a5d.jpg One sensor to go https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...d9fe351562.jpg Before the clean https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...4df9b18969.jpg After the cleaning - notice the intercooler bolt. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...c6d039c7a0.jpg Before rhe clean https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...40becd754c.jpg New adaptor in https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...638d63c4e9.jpg Quarter of a turn at a time https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...ecff2c09fc.jpg Always protect the important bits |

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...32eecad54c.jpg Hi all, thought i would remove the old centre pipe today and replaced it with a straight through stainless steel one, sounds a lot better in my opinion , https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...1b2df31b9e.jpg |
Fitted my fire extinguisher, its a Kap kit with extra straps so I can mount a 2lt bottle :)

Actually it is a good idea to have water temp as the oe gauge is very inaccurate and doesn’t register changes in temp unless it’s catastrophic!
