Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo now with VNT

[Frosty]

I had a burnt out indicator plug from a loose relay, I popped out the coloured plug and then the individual wire plugs, gave then a very good clean and all is well 6months +

So not to bad to do then?

Though I need to stop the water coming in first

[devils_fuel]

Not really, you'll spend longer sorting your water feature

I put the other sunroof in the other day and sealed the frame when I fitted it. Hopefully it will sort my water problem but wont know till we get some more heavy rain which may be tonight if the forecast is correct.

I rolled the front arches the other night as well as the tyres scrubbed with the spacers fitted. Me, jimbo and craigus chipped in together and brought an archer roller and I must say I was pretty impressed with it





I need to see about sorting the relay connector pretty soon as well as I cant use the heated rear screen at the moment. A few pics of the relay it melted





And a pic of how it sits at the moment after fitting the different springs on the front and dropping the rear a little more. Think its lowered the front about 50mm which I think it sits pretty nice

Too much boost ?

[Piggy]

Didn't think I would ever hear you say that lol

I reckon 1 of the balls has shoot out. Will have more of a look when I change it.

I will try and get some pics when I change the drive shaft. Made a pretty good job!

Like the look of the arch roller, good idea chipping in between a few of you.

Yeah it's a good bit of kit! It was only £75 to buy anyway which ain't to bad but goes 3s in was ideal.

Still think I did a good job of the rears considering I just used a hammer

[padge]

those arch rollers work brilliantly, I just used a dolly and a little bodyshop hammer from my mates bodyshop. worked fine.

[laurence_13]

Smart!

[Tom]

Oh no thats the long shaft aswell! Get your deep 11mm socket out!

Oh yes and the air ratchet

[Tom]

Lucky you, my arms were cramping right up after lying under the car undoing those bastards!

Yeah I have done them so many times with just a ratchet. Air tools make some things so much easier

[puglove]

Do you wona come and roll some rear arches for me

[Piggy]

it maybe the long shaft but if its just the half thats busted...just find a second hand half shaft n throw it in

[Jimbo]

To be honest by the time it's been send to you and you returned it would cost half of what a new 1 would cost to buy cuz it fairly heavy

I'm sure we can sort something out for you mark!

[Frosty]

I got the drive shaft changed so that's all good and back being able to drive it. From looking at the old drive shaft it looks like 1 of the caps has come off and all the pins fired out which is why the boot has 2 splits in it.

Also got some xenon bulbs fitted for my dip beam. There not a massive a mount better than the osram night breaker bulbs I had fitted but the blue ness makes them look a lot better. Also fitted some LED side light bulbs

[Frosty]

Some pics of the xenons fitted





I've got a strange noise that comes from the front when pulling away slowly but it doesn't aways do it. It never did it before I had the drive shaft issues so I wonder if its the new drive shaft that's my problem. I'm tempted to fit a 2nd 1 and see if that cures it

[devils_fuel]

Looks shite..



Looks..

I had the same problem from an ebay rh shaft i fitted, dropped one in from gsf and cured it

What noise did your make?

The noise it makes is hard to explain but when it does it, it sounds really bad. Will try a 2nd hand 1 I have got and go from there. It drives fine though

[Frosty]

Had look into the noise I got when I pull away. I changed the driveshaft for a 2nd hand 1 and it is still there and then I checked the cam belt side mount which I found to not be tight so I tighten that up and the noise is still there. I would describe the noise as a harsh squeak and it seems to do it more in reverse. I'm wondering if its the clutch. I duno if anyone else has had any issues with a CG paddle clutch?
