Welcome to the forum. I want to do something like that, even just something with the exhaust without the valves, then the bore in me comes out again. If you do go ahead make sure you post something up.

Would love to, but ours are gov test centres all doing the same tests with the same machines. Even England/Scotland/Wales have a bit of choice compared to us, boo hoo me.

These are the things, from eBay.

Those blocks you made look a good job and support in many places. Pity others didn’t take the same level of care we try to take with our cars. When I bought my Z it had both fronts squashed so I set about fixing them, cleaned, stripped, spot welded painted etc and was chuffed that the finish...

For the tupence it’s worth my 308cc (same Ep6 engine as my Z) reached 50k at 15years old and I took the decision to do the chain for age rather than the miles. Useless bit of info, at initial release the RCZ was to be called 308 RCZ, but then the numbers were dropped on release of the model. Car...

If you do go ahead with it, let us know if there are any pitfalls. I have also considered the aluminium rocker cover too, but you hear from the nay camp before the yeah with all these things.

You might need a bit of a contingency on top of your prices. Good luck with your search, let us know how you get on..

Not the news you wanted I am sure. There may be as yet unseen damage to the engine block, you could put a new head on and still have further troubles. I keep recalling you had mentioned that the car had a lack of decent servicing. That information would lead me to look for an engine if it was...

Mode = super sport mode, with a touch of nitros. Awkwardly positioned meaning you have a hand off the wheel just as the boost kicks in, slightly frightening if you ask me, but exhilarating at the same time. But sadly not……..it is just screen menu usb, Bluetooth, Aux selection.

i have a 156 and am more that happy with it. Had 200 before and had same issues as any 1.6 prince engine, just more stuff crammed into it. the (dirty) diesel is potentially the most reliable unit, but still has its own set of watch points. just like any car brand out there. History and...

Your determined I’ll give you that, my patience might have cut out sooner, good on you. If it helps, the workings of the RCZ mirror are the same as the 308cc, the plastic outer shells and bowl and foot are different shapes but the gubbins inside is the same. Look at my wee photo to the left if...

The belt on the left is an OEM, if original it done well, or maybe redone by a a dealer or someone keen to use oem at some point?? The other 6pk 1224 looks to be a Gates, aftermarket replacement. Either way, many miles of fun in front, well done.

Well done, love a good hands on read.

Bit like me then…… Youll probably find that after a good service and maybe a set of coils allis good. Maybe just a bit of damp getting at them.

PSA prince engine, quite a bit in common, more than you’d think.

funny you ask, just wrote (I think) all of it up in another thread for manual disengaging, tho you don’t need that bit. Engine cold, cold, fire it up and the pulley is in its disengaged state, water pump isn’t engaged. when warmed up the pulley mechanism extends to engage the water pump. its...

What has you so focused on the power steering? Something you mentioned above about no noise cold then noise when warmed up. Does the noise stay when warmed up and sitting stationary? Yes - carry on reading. No - I hope Indy get it sorted. This engine had a few ‘hands’ in the design and I am...

Just went thru the books for both mine and it’s not listed. As PSA recommended Total I looked on their fluids checker for cars and got this info.

Don’t know if you can record a log with your Carly device but if not a passenger watching could keep an eye on it and take the car for a good run through smooth and spirited to see if the psi drops away, a couple of miles should do it. When you do boot on it will drop off but will quickly...

Sh1t, sorry, I have jumped threads somehow. That was in relation to engine coolant, as is the pic I put on above being comma g30 coolant. Really don’t recommend coolant in the steering pump, might do a bit more than tick, for a wee while.
