if you want pal

I won't be drinking beer during the daytime as i'll be on a mission!

Also, would anyone be able to discount on any OIL up there, save me spending a fortune at halfrauds?

[Scott]

I have a trade card

[samass]

i've a halfords trade card, or if you want extra cheap carplan stuff, can get the 5 litre ones at 20% off from b&q, or the castrol stuff they do at 20% off aswell. or anything else from b%q for 20% off haha

[ginge191]

great offers there peeps!! :think:

May be a spontaneous thing, IF we get time for the turbo also
If you could bring the cards with you that would be muchly appreciated!

[samass]

will do mate

[Ben Jay]

any tools you going to need specificly? I have an injector socket if its needed?

[ginge191]

I dont think so, i'll message grant nearer the time to packing the car, i've got a fair few tools mate, but hopefully the injectors won't be coming off in a turbo change <--- this is rule #1 benj, take note!

Also, im assuming samass, you've changed a turbo before, any tools i might not think of that'll need in the process?

[Chris]

Turbos a 4 hour job, easy enough to do aswell.

[ginge191]

4 hour job with many hands?! should be a time trial

- oil emptied
- engine forward
- inlet off
- oil line D.C'd
- exhaust manifold off
- exhaust side off
- turbo off
- gasket on

in reverse order, done!

[ginge191]

[Scott]

Grant I forgot to ask when I saw you...Are your parents cool with having people just rock up outside over the weekend? Don't want to just turn up if you're trying to keep numbers low and there are already a few there

Cheers

[Chris]

You don't need to drain the oil either to do the turbo.
Not really a job that more than 1 can tackel at once.

yeh i know.. but it's due a change, and while we're there. ... you know what i mean :roll:

[Ben Jay]

can some one pm the post code?

also is it worth bringing meat for a bbq if the weather holds up?

[Grant]

It should be fine, thanks for asking Scott.


If people want to bring meat for a BBQ that's fine, but you will need a couple of disposable BBQ's.
We will only be able to get one car on the drive, but people can park on the road to tinker. I would say it a fair statement that ginge has 1st dibs on the drive lol.
I know everyone is decent enough, and I've met you all, but I will ask that everybody could be respectful to my neighbours. There are a lot f pensioners/young family's that I don't think would appreciate to much induction on their bank holiday weekend.

I was also going to suggest on the Saturday afternoon that we head up the the Epsom downs. The derby is on and it's a 4-5 min drive from my house. Could go there, then head out for drinks after...
