I want another black d turbo :/

So do I! Was looking at photos of my old one the day if it didnt have as many miles id still be driving it I miss it something serious

[Nathan1305]

So tried fixing the issue with my key fob but to luck :/ it locks and unlocks the car fine but won't start it unless you turn the ignition on with the spare key then take it out and use the key fob to start it. I've replaced the transponder sensor but no luck. Anyone have any advice?

Haha yeah will be raised at some point  bad thing is they can still go lower

Nathan! you should be playing with the 106 not with the 306!

Haha I know but this car needs attention too, the suspension was knocking badly and was bouncing around. This needs some work done to it. End of February I'm getting the new beam for the 106

Is it genuine OMP or a decent replica with stickers applied?
I kind of sort of definitely really want one becauseracecar.

Edit: Seen on another thread that it isn't genuine. Got a link for the wheel and boss mate? It looks great in the car and the car is looking really good overall now with a bit of a drop!

Power steering is fixed  the pipe is a little to wide for the rubber hoses so hoping it holds up. Feels a lot better with fresh fluid in the system 

[RetroPug]

I see, thanks!

[Nathan1305]

So will be attempting to fix the DT tomorrow with a replacement heat exchanger and an oil change, coolant change and new oil filter hopefully this will fix the issue I have where the oil is in the expansion tank. Any tips or advice on bleeding the cooling system?

I see you fitted the avos exactly as Ian left them - ie wound so far down he may have possibly needed to cut more thread.

Very tidy project this, expecting great things based on your work so far.

Thanks mate yeah we just though f*ck it lets see how low we can get it  and I'm hoping for great things but have run into an issue that may change things :/

[Poodle]

Oh really, found some rot?

[Nathan1305]

Oh really, found some rot?

No engine issues, expansion tank has oily sludge floating to the top, so trying to source a new expansion tank and flush and re-bleed the system to see if it stops it. If it comes back again then I suspect it's head gasket :/

[Poodle]

Ah... Good old dts.

Hg isn't terminal though, wouldn't you try and fix it? Any other symptoms?

Thanks mate  and when I can get the xantia manifold on haha. Gonna look up how to remove it now 

[Nathan1305]

Cleaned up pretty well considering it hasn't been washed in like 6 months haha. Treated it to a wash, Polish and wax. Took all the seats out and gave the carpet a clean, looks and smells great

Hopefully getting another set of crystals soon so I can black mask them as only 1 clip is holding these lights on haha. And going to get some new tyres and buy some tyre gel  want to invest more into this car. Hoping to keep it for a long time

All that effort is ruined by the hockey stick I'm afraid!

Another vote for the Megs EG though, great stuff!!
