@Tomas Link Originally I did as much as I could without going too far, I replaced crank and cam seals, cambelt kit I even fitted arp conrods. Cleaned and painted everything. I Have purchased all the parts to rebuild my engine including wossner pistons and pec conrods, gasket sets, head bolts...

@Big Ben You don't have to wait for the loctite to dry. Don't use too much loctite either. All it does is stop it from coming un done, you can bolt them in, fit the wheel and torque. Then go onto the next one. You wouldn't want to undo them before the loctite has gone off.

The plugs look similar to these. These are the Meg plugs but the white one and grey plug are the same just different wiring in the white one. Borrowed pic.

They're in the fuse box behind the passengers headlight.

The only issue I had was the wiring to the fan as both plugs are the same. There is a guide in the how to section.

Does your car run the 197 fan relay? When i originally wired my car as per diagram found on here it didn't use the fan relay, so ended up re wiring it to put the fans relay back into it as I'd been informed it was required. So the fan wiring was basically the 197 wiring added into the Meg loom.

I've gone through the conversion and fine it all myself. Similar spec as you were mentioning, had mine mapped at Efi, running, 304bhp and 298lb/ft but it lasted 1000 miles. Due to a noisy lifter but turned out the cams had picked up in the head and there was excess silicone. So currently...

Not Really Ben, just keeping it safe as the cost of the pistons is the same. No valves at the moment. Maybe a set of catcams springs. Budget isn't allowing for too much! Getting the R26 box rebuilt too whilst I'm doing it!

Been a while since any updates on this so here's a small one. I bought a spare engine with low compression on no. 1 cylinder. Which has now been stripped. Put through the hot wash and ultrasonic and painted. The Block is at the machine shop and the parts to rebuild the bottom end have been...

You change your cars more than the weather Amin. Hope you find what your looking for! Steve Murr has a nice Ly for sale.

Nothing 's ever close when you want something.

Just bought a meg 175 dci, can't believe how nice it is to drive, feels a lot tighter than the Golf, needs a little tlc but can't complain it was cheap! You'll find something.

I think I'd go for one without the Recaro's for a better car then you can add them later, or There was a 197 cup on facebook the other day? Or an r27 will give you what you want but a different front bumper?

Glad it's sorted! :thumb:

What shaft did you use in the end Ben, need one for mine.

I see what you mean now. Hope you get it sorted.

The bit on the back is only for the indicator cancel. Has yours got 3 grooves in it? Mind had 3 grooves that had to be lined up? Mine's an '08. You'll see them on the pictures I put on facebook.

I'm pretty sure it I'm pretty sure it's the meg cooler with different mounts, 70mm core up to 400bhp.

Think I've seen somewhere that meg 2 genuine mud flaps fit quite well on them.

Did you go for the 95mm Matt?
