i have a 1.5 td nova that i want to fit a boost gauge to so i can monitor what the turbo is doing but i wouldn't have a clue where to fit the gauge line to to get the correct reading. the only place i can think of is the actuator line as it comes off the side of the boost side of the turbo right und...

i managed to get my novavan working saturday so i could have come if i had had the money looks like i missed a good day

well my van is fixed but i don't have the fuel money looking forward to the pics later have a good one guys

ahhh feel all smooshy now lol.

i'm sure you guys will be thinking of me slaving on my nova, possibly fabricating the exhaust thanks to cr@p suppliers, while you have you fish and chips might have to bring the nova to a meet lol that will be a random one

better than the little model kits from being a kid

well i've got the head off it now and ive got 4 bent valves and 2 smashed cam followers. going to an engine rebuild place in a minute to see what they say about it

:wall looks like i'll be missing this one my novavan needs attention thanks to the cam pulley bolts working loose and destroying the head this morning my money now needs to go into my van to get it back on the road :wall anyone know where i can get a replacement head for a 4ec1 1.5 diesel engine from?

nope it's an awkward one for me as it's always the day after my missus birthday so usually still recovering from the drink lol

i'm never going to live that one down am i lol

not bad i've never bothered going through my insurance can't be bothered with the hassle and my excess is probably about £50 anyway. if my screen was a couple of hundred then it would be worth it but for an extra £30 i can't see the plus side of all the hassle

only took nationals a couple of days to come out to me both times and that was due to convenience and booking a time to suit where they had a slot and i would be somewhere for enough time for them to do the job. this last time i did ask if the screen was going to be a tricky one to get hold of and t...

my first screen had thousands of little tiny chips so got it replaced by national windscreens for £80 i then had a crack in the new one a couple of years later so searched around again and found my old invoice from them they asked for the invoice number pulled it up and did it again for £80. i would...

just had a look it's going to cost me £40 round trip in fuel plus food drinks and entry might be a bit tight for me my nova needs tax at the end of oct i'll see what wages i get so i have a rough idea of what funds im now getting (payrise ) and i'll work it out and hopefully see you there

yeah time it a big issue for me aswell

i'm thinking of making my own. i need something to keep the manifold heat off the radiator in the summer as my old girl really struggles

could do with a decent manifold cover myself not sure about cool stats though not too sure i understand/agree with the idea

should be able to find out on the dvla website or go to an mot station and they should be able to have a look for you

was thinking of doing this before i was listening to a cd in a carwash now i need to renew my ariel first

tech for kwikfits competition

as with the last meet i'll have to see about funds closer to the time Understood, just let us know nearer the time, hope you can make it :)[/quote] no probs i'll keep an eye on the thread and hopefully make it got a lot off time and money sapping problems about at the moment hopefully if things smo...

as with the last meet i'll have to see about funds closer to the time

so long as we don't get that sandy rain i should be ok just need to get my 17's back on her

the 17's have also helped my fuel consumption so they are slowly paying for themselves

i put 17's on to raise my cav as i lowered the suspension to improve the handling but with 195/45/r15 vauxhall 5 spokes on yeah she looked great but i've now got a dent in my fuel tank so the 17's have kept the handling but made her more practical. i am thinking of putting the tiny 15's back on thou...

never had a problem with the guys on the a14 opposite the cambridge services they bring my cav up brilliant but i made the mistake of using the bp carwash in st ives cambs and lost my wingmirrors and now i'm banned yeah ok i kicked off but i believe i had a right too when they haven't even refunded ...
