Little update, not much been happening other than sorting little niggles. It's 95% there, just need to iron out these last few bits then enjoy it!
My current to do list includes:
Sort out misfire on cold idle, and when flat out in 5th and 6th. Replaced coil packs and spark plugs so far.
Replace alternator, it's whining like a bitch. Tensioner bearing too for good measure
Gearbox seal leaking a bit
New shocks and springs; Spax coilovers are too hard for road use.
New aluminium coolant tank and bracket
Had a fun drive yesterday, 2 (quite important) suspension bolts decided to exit the car which made for an interesting drive home Jacked it up and the passenger wheel was just jiggling around! So 3x new stainless bolts each side, Locktited in and I was ready to go.
Replaced the pads with some Mintex 1144 and stainless pins too
Car is off into the garage on Friday to try and sort this misfire out. It cut out on boost this evening and came up 'Check Injection' and 'Check ESP', codes are telling me lambda sensors but who knows....
Found out that most of the noise was coming from the AC compressor pulley! Bearing is well and truly shot. Got one on its way for that, wish I'd have known though as I'll have to take the front end of the car off again to fit it
