but dont worry, the real turbo isnt going anywhere :)

Ry
cheers Si,

the increased MPG will certainly make a change!

one reason i was attracted to it is because it should be some cheap motoring for a few months while the turbo is sorted, its a lovely top spec HLX with climate control

a few issues as you might expect but nothing i could argure much about with the price so i'm a happy chappy
 
hi,nice car [i was lookin at this load carrier for myself but was 300+miles away],as good remap to over the 150 mark and better than my old fordy van,

Give me a shout when selling on [are you any closer than 300 miles from eh48],

good luck anyway with yir new find.,,,,,
 
You never said it was green.
Should get a set of Blades on it. Would give you some ace photo opportunities.

Nice looking example though but seriously I hope I never see it. Next time I see you you better have BB with you.
 
i'm actually finding it increadibly boring compared to my 20vT Marea, they drive like completely different cars.

the 130JTD will lift off oversteer like nothing i've ever driven, i am quite enjoying the lack of power as it gives a good excuse to maintain speed in corners and find the best lines/techniques

if the turbo isnt fixed by april this will be going around castle combe :eek:
 
sup with the 20vt one then dude?

it suffered an aux tensioner failure and made the cambelt jump, i retimed it and it ran fine, ordered all new belts and tensioners (again!) and put it all back together, was trying to bolt the engine mount on to the chassis and it just didnt seem to fit properly, relised its the wrong U-bracket so needs to be changed which involes stripping it all down again :(

i think i'll try tackle it this weekend but its quite a job and very fiddly.

still, once its done it just needs oil & water and a little re-wiring i want to do to make it tidier then its ready :)
