LET the rebuild begin
Pull your finger out chap!! or i'll be tempted to rebuild mine *again* before you've finished yours lol then you will have to feel really bad lol.
offer of a hand still exists just give me the nod though i know you're probably beyond the point where there big enough jobs for several hands

I hope im beyond that point... at least for the moment. Your welcome to come down either this weekend or the next to try and get it running before Trax, bit of fine tuning advice would be useful. Rich is pretty useless with a spanner but does a mean BBQ.
Fitted a new lambda tonight but emissions are still way to high for an MOT. Leaned off the fuel pressure and no change so im thinking the cat isn't doing its job properly. My understanding is that as exhaust gases enter the cat a chemical reaction occurs which cause the gases to get hotter. Therefore the exit end should be much hotter which isnt what mine is doing and seems to be acting as a restrictor if anything. I think this could be because the cat is too far back in the exhaust system and is just not getting hot enough but either way is not doing its job.
Other problem is the engine is hunting quite a bit so need to check over for air leaks but I dont think the ICV is doing its job properly which might mean inlet manifold off due to my oversize hoses and clamps their is no way it will come out the usual way

Ahh pooh! i had no idea trax was that close, i had kinda thought in my mind i would go to that, but i havnt heard about my rings yet, so the engine is still in bits on the floor, so not looking that likely.
I will see how im standing for diesel money next weekend, won't be able to make it this week I know that for sure.
what day/days would suit you best next? i will try to keep it free and get the bread rolls defrosted :p

Its always full thats the main thing, whethers its edible....well I can always blame your chef skills for that.
Anytime next Friday to Sunday is fine Stu, I have plenty of diesel tokens so don't worry about that. Hopefully I will have an MOT by then.

Bit of an update seing as its the Callys two year anniversary off the road this weekend
With the car hunting quite a bit first job was to check all the boost hoses were fitted correctly and their were no leaks. Relocated the vacumn pipe from the amal valve down to the turbo boost pipe....
Next up was to fit a new icv and relocate to make it easier to access in the future. Usual ball ache of a job. Checked over all electrical connections and started it up. was running better but not 100%.
Time to call in the professionals Big thanks to Stupink for driving all the way up to Bristol especially when he was suffering a bit from a session the night before . Spent the day checking everything over and managed to diagnose a few problems. Checked for air leaks again by taking off the air filter and was a bit concerning that you only have to put you hand within close proximity of the pipework for it to stall . Doesn't look like i'll be sucking up small children and animals off the pavement as I drive past then Managed to blag an AFM and was finally looking good for the MOT.
TIME for MOT take two. Straight into the emissions test and was reading between 0.6 and 0.7. As the engine warmed up the emissions slowly creaped down and were soo close to passing until it overheated so we had to give in .
Its definately getting a tad hot in the engine bay and going to mean a new spray job on the bonnet now ...................

That could always be a problem that bits glass isnt it? so perhaps relies on the metal to transferr the heat away from any hotspots to protect the paint?
Sounds like perhaps a good rasher now before your emmissions test and it would be fine, but not sure how you do that with a car thats not run in!!
When you say it overheated, other than the paint going.. ouch, what were the symptons?

Ahh.. it must just be too close then, i never really looked at that, a shame, I agree its just not warming up the cat enough, the fueling was terrible because of the AFM, but it seems much more stable now, but its just not going to heat up quickly sat there at idle.. it needs to be driven, perhaps a longer run next time before pulling into the station? and a warning you're on your way lol.
