  1. Same here! The mrs is threaders with me playing it haha! Payback for her being on bookface all the time.
  2. Overflow hose and radiator filler cap neck ok? If there's no visible leaks and all hoses are tight, system is fully bled, poss BHG? Might be worth getting a sniff test done. Check the underside of the oil cap for "cream cheese". Any white smoke from exhaust?
  3. That nose cone is horrendous. Kill it with fire
  4. 1200 1400 wet n dry. Keep wet throughout. Wipe clean and dry. Halfrauds rubbing compound with a cloth. Buff again. Then use t cut and buff again. should come back up clear.
  5. Agreed, not THE issue. That's clearly the over filling. I was addressing the water that is boiling/bubbling in the res. Surely adding anti-freeze raises boiling temp as well lowering freezing temp of plain water?
  6. Mine is virtually empty from cold. Definitely change coolant as it sounds like you've got too much water in the mix, hence the boiling/bubbling.
  7. Hi Keron Do you have the front, grilled inner arch splash guards in stock? If so, how much inc. delivery. Cheers
  8. It shouldn't boil in the expansion tank. Don't fill half way as when the coolant expands in the rad and goes into the expansion tank, it will probably be over filling and giving you the overspill. The boiling id put down to poor anti freeze/water ratio. I'd suggest draining the rad and filling with fresh ready mixed coolant such as Toyota red. You shouldn't have to but another option is changing to a 1.3 cap or get a hi flow rad
  9. I presume you mean coolant not water? The ambient temp has been hotter of late. Any leaks? Has the coolant in the expansion returned to the rad when cool? Coolant level when cool? How long since the last coolant change? Electric fans working? More info please
  10. All of the restrictors I found are of the same dimensions as I want a like for like. Just wanted to know if anyone knew what the top aperture is likely to be with a 1mm restrictor, as mine came with the turbo. Its aperture is 3mm at the top and 1mm at the bottom.
  11. My current restrictor has stripped its threads that screw into the housing of a Boostlogic DBB T67. It's a -4AN to 1.00 thread and the top aperture is 3mm (Feed) to 1mm restriction (housing). The online replacements I can find have a restriction of 1mm but they don't say what the top aperture size is. Are they likely to be 1mm to 1mm and will this effect flow in any way? I know it shouldn't as it's down to pressure but just want to put my mind at rest knowing they won't starve the Turbo. Cheers!
  12. Mother fu...!! I paid full whack for these not too long ago! ( shakes fist ) Will keep you in mind for future
  13. 80-85c with an aftermarket rad
