A day of mixed emotions would probably sum up today. After the limp mode issues at Donington Park in the last post I’d done some further reading thanks to @turkie172 research and all signs pointed to a faulty injector. The coil packs and injectors share the same loom, and the coil packs and...

Didn't realise you were in Portugal, so ambient temps should be higher but I'd have thought road driving would cope just fine (unless you're driving like a lunatic :openmouth:)

You shouldn’t need brake cooling on the road. Decent pads and uprated fluid should be more than enough. A few of us run cooling ducts on track cars but that is because we are hard on the brakes corner after corner, lap after lap, at higher than road speeds. Try a decent pad/disc/fluid combo...

If it's just a road car, after a rebuild I think you'll be fine for a while. Change the gearbox oil regularly and avoid smashing it between gears at high revs. Just take an extra second or two to shift and you should be fine. I reckon most of the damage is done early in the car's life either by...

Prob quite hard to get good pics when the car is in the barrier :poke: (Too soon?) :tongueout:

Yeah I'd imagine so, most places would drop the subframe to get the gearbox out, then you need to ask yourself whether it's worth doing the clutch while you have good access. If you're having the front subframe off you'll probably need the front end alignment checking afterwards in case anything...

Depends what you mean by a rebuild. Some companies might only replace the syncros. Some might do syncro and one or two bearings. Others might do the whole refresh. @RSRowe had a screenshot of the true cost of parts if you were doing the whole thing, I can't seem to find it now, but from memory...

Looks like you got off lightly, hope you’re back up and running soon

I already run the titanium shims, was looking at these to complete my brake cooling setup. He was interested in sending a few batches over to the UK if we could get a group buy going. I might post to see who would be interested. Did you get the 51mm tube version? I’ve asked for a 63mm version to...

I’ve been chatting to the 41 guy on Instagram and I’m close to buying a pair, good to hear they fit well. Would you recommend?

I have a pair of 200 headlights and a brand new radiator (unopened) if you need them

Donington Park 17th Feb 2024 The car hadn't moved since August 2023, I've had a lot going on professionally and personally over the last 6 months or so, and cars have taken a back seat. It was nice to get out there again, albeit short lived. I'd stiffened up the rear end, softened the front a...

Looks like day over then, will need to take off the inlet manifold and investigate faulty injector. Thanks @turkie172

That’s mega, thanks!

Currently at Donington. Car went into limp mode during Session 2. Check ignition warning, check ESP warning, spanner on dash. Limped back to the pits. Running on Cyl 2 & 3, not running on 1&4. Swapped coil pack on Cyl 1 for a brand new one, issue remains. Removed all 4 plugs and look ok...

I've vowed never to use handheld spring compressors again, after nearly losing the end of my finger doing my BMW suspension last year. One of the spring compressors slipped and crushed my finger between the coil and the compressor. I had gloves on and was half expecting to take it off and leave...

Weld in cage, budget £2k+ for regular tubing. Budget even more for lightweight T45 tubing. Bolt in cages can be powder coated and fitted afterwards. Weld in cages cannot be powder coated in situ (obviously) and instead need painting. Painting a weld in cage same colour as the interior budget...

Good luck finding replacements

I run what's left of them
