Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Well a massive thanks to Jim and Tony for their help guidance and bathroom fixing's on Sunday.I managed to strip down the front and replace the fan belt which has snapped causing overheating, then changed over the hoses to my blue samco's, then we got started on the charger, took a while to remember how it went on last time and helpfully I had mixed up the bolts but after a few mins it all came flooding back to Jim and I and we were soon cracking on. Tony sorted out my wobbly engine with new engine and gearbox vibratechnic mounts and then Jim and Tony finished off the charger while I put the front back on. Apart from a couple of minor hickups, mainly due to my stupidity !!, it all went well and the car is now running better than ever and sounds evil ! looking forward to getting it mapped in a week, will try and get some pics up this week and will defo take loads up at Stealth Link to post Share on other sites
jesterwalker69 0 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Well done Ben, all sounds like its coming together nicely.

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Right so this morning I removed Jim and Tony's fantastic temporary pipework and put the correct piece in cut the pipe to suit and then tried to start her and she wouldn't a quick phonecall to Mr Knowitall ;) and he suggested changing the ISV, luckily I have a garage full of spare parts so that was done and now she runs beautifully :) so so happy, here is a short of vid of it for you Link to post Share on other sites
