Am on the look out now for a good timing belt kit and replacement head gasket too ! Any direction on this lads ??
-
Cheers mate, TBH I hadnt seen your ad ! Looks like you are being very decent with the price but I have placed an order with Chris Wilson for one of his units. best of luck with the sale anyway.

Thanks mate , yep - I will deffo give him a shout !
-
Thanks pal, i'll keep that in mind ! and see if any of the other lads on here have anything to say.

Apologies in advance chaps , I know this is somewhat of a "how long is a piece of string type question " but anywho.... My 6spd RZ is going for a head skim and new head gasket in the coming weeks..timing belt and water pump too of course. The current clutch was in the car when I bought it a few years back and I can definitely feel some slippage when putting it through its paces at the upper end of the speed limit *cough:innocent: The car is fairly stock and sitting at around the 330 bhp mark, and with regard to a new clutch I would like to future proof it for the 400- 500bhp mark. I dont know enough about stage 1 ..stage 2 etc clutches and then of course you got them real pretty purple units from HKS and similar. any help in the decision making process would be well received ! Thanks in advance

Clifford Alarm issue .... or the car itself ?

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I had an auto elec look at it and straight off the bat he tells me its the starter motor . Then he said he couldnt confirm that was the problem because he couldnt get access to it....said the car was too low ! unable to drive the car up onto ramps and not be able to get a trolley jack underneath leaves me in a bit of a pinch .... anywho , the blame then switched to the clifford immobiliser to which he said there no way for sure and recommended he just rip it out and stick in a new alarm for me for 500 quid. Is this just laziness on his part or should i bite the bullet and get the alarm changed out. -

cheers Pete, yeah somebody else actually said that to me... my dash is bringing up a full display of lights as it typically would just before start up.. but ive noticed the amber light that indicates a brake light bulb gone is staying on . where would you start looking for a bad or broken earth ? sorry if that's a stupid question... im not half as hands on as most of you guys on here ! -

Sorry lads the pics wouldnt upload. thanks for the replies, the battery is only 1 month old and is reading 12.5 volts when I stick a multimeter on it. i will try to jump it with a booster pack just for good measure. maybe it is the starter motor as Squiffy suggested. i think i will need to throw an auto electrician at it -
hi Folks, So I went to start the car yesterday morning and with the key fully turned - i did as i usually have to do and press the fob to get get all lights up on the dash and lift off ! The battery is brand new and i checked the voltage for good measure. There is just a loud ' click ' in the engine bay local to the turbos....sounds like a relay engaging or maybe the starter motor ? There was a decent clifford alarm in the car when i got it and it has never given me any jip , it has anti hijack and all that lark. I dont know enough about alarm/immobilisers or the car if im being honest to have any idea what the issue is here... i attached 2 pics...the red arrow indicates the area the clicking is coming from. thanks in advance for any help.
