What you using as a daily whilst this is off the road, out of curiosity? Do you mean the rings part of the ABS assembly? I've had the fault codes randomly pop up too but on an engine restart, the fault clears. It's only ever happened like, 4 times over the last 3 years so not bothered too much. Is it an easy fix though? Ah no way regarding the software. I've never tried any laptop specific software yet, just Carly on my phone. The vac pump/loose head cover bolt is due to be fixed on the 16th then 17th i'm taking a trip to Birds for the LSD. Yup, I am currently running xHP stage 3 and man, what a difference it has made! I think it I was more impressed with this than the ECU remap! The difference between D and S is immense. You cannot drive in S normally. You have to be "on it". Otherwise D is optimised enough to make smooth progress much better than stock. Honestly cannot recommend it enough. If you have an android phone and cable, it is worth taking the time to do it yourself rather than having a third party do it.

I had the ABS sensor flashing up amber Runflat indicator and DBC warning lights due to a rusty reluctor brushing the sensor, but only on a long run >40 miles and it always cleared upon restarting engine. Replaced, rear offside driveshaft and (touch wood) it's been fine this weekend after a 300 mile run down south.

Whilst I'm waiting for the mechanical bits to be done, I've gotten bored of the carbon vinyl interior trim. So I've purchased some brushed steel vinyl for a change!
work in progress...

Took the car for MOT yesterday then straight to Chemix for a 4 wheel alignment but either the arms, hub or sub frame is bent as the toe is way out and the toe is already at max. So it's back on an axle stand and I've got to grind the toe arm bolt off as the bolt pretty much welds itself to the toe Bush sleeve and acts as one so it's near impossible to knock through lol. Other than that the car drove great and I didn't notice any smoke driving so maybe the loo roll style filter in the breather is working well! I suppose I'll only know for sure when I get an oil and filter change and monitor from their. Lots of work to do so I've got till Thursday to replace all rear arms and hub and replace or fix the reluctor ring oh any my fuel economy was showing like 12MPG lmao.. ever since owning this car the best I've had is 22mpg but I'm certain the lambda sensor always had a fault so im assuming without that reading properly it defaults to running rich so im going to buy one of them if carly shows it still as a fault. |

Got my car back on Friday. The vac pump was removed, along with the head cover to try and remedy the loose bolt. It had sheared! So it was removed, helicoiled, new cover gasket and back on securely. At the same time, the EGR cooler was removed and blanked at the exhaust properly (I was meaning to do this for a long time as the EGR was already blanked a long time ago).
So far, it does seem to have cured that leak. I haven't had chance to clean up the oil residue from previously, but there doesn't seem to be any fresh "wet" oil coming out over the weekend. Just the old residue.

I've sanded and painted the CV Joint ready for the reluctor ring and hub that's coming tomorrow, then off to Chemix to see if it can be tracked, if not it seems the rear subframe is coming off Last edited by MrSweet1991; 04-23-2019 at 05:55 PM.. Reason: It's a CV joint not a diff lmao |

Been ages, so I was wondering how the cars coming along? Mines back on the road finally! And I also wanted to check, have you ever reset your MPG and seen what it does just off of the computer calculations? Mine is well and truly catastrophic, town driving 20mpg Sunday driving up and down a dual carriageway with a steady foot no traffic I peaked 32mpg, if I even think about accelerating the damn thing drops 59mph on the motorway 37mpg ish, its just crazy. On a plus note though, I've done around.. 250/300 miles with the loo roll filter and fingers crossed my oil level is still at max which is amazing! I'd use 800ml/1 litre of oil every 1000 miles or so so its looking great at the moment |

Apologies, I haven't updated in a while!! Well, the main oil leak is well and truly fixed! It was definitely the vac pump/loose head cover bolt. No more drips on the drive, but some oil still passing through the turbo. With regards to mpg, my daily commute is really bad start/stop kind of driving, so I don't get past 27ish mpg off the computer. I have literally just done a long motorway journey and I was touching 49mpg on the computer. Yours definitely sounds very low! Hey, that's good though that you have sorted the oil consumption out! I am currently sat in Birds waiting for my LSD to be fitted!! Very excited.

LSD
Well. Quaife LSD installed. This has got to be one of the best mods I have ever done.
Still only first impressions yet but wow what an impression! The increased traction now is really addictive. That's with the traction control fully off, i.e. button held for a few seconds. There is so much more control through the corners now and I have much more confidence in the handling. I will assume these improvements can only be amplified in wet conditions! So looking forward to seeing what it's like on the next rainy day! Hang on, that's today!
