(First posted on MLR forum in June 2014) After fitting the new bits, obviously a remap was in order. So I made another visit to Dynotech to hand it over to Bob and Lee to unleash a few more horses Boost increased to a perfectly safe 1.4 bar for 340ftlb and 346bhp which I’m pretty […]
(First posted on MLR forum in June 2014) R-spec 3 port solenoid fitted. (wiring not connected yet as I will wait until it’s being mapped) Next. New genuine Thermostat and Forge actuator. (new stat purely cos the original is quite old and they can get sluggish or fail when they’re old. So for the […]
(First posted on MLR forum in June 2014) Time to fit the new bits I had a good read about fitting the fuel pump and obviously found that there are two ways of doing it. (If you’re not aware, the options are remove the tank or cut and rejoin pipes) So I read as many […]

Also, as a nice surprise, the rear tracking adjustment bolts came free really easy tools: […]
(First posted on MLR forum in May 2014) While checking for any movement in the suspension, prior to MOT time, I noticed a small amount of movement in the pass’ side ball joint. I doubt it would have even been noticed in the MOT but that’s not the point really is it. These don’t come […]
(First posted on MLR forum in May 2014) the rear decal was a bit faded and grubby so I got a new one. the old one was a bit of a pig to remove then left loads of stick behind make sure i get it right… fresh and new
(First posted on MLR forum in April 2014) After previously removing and cleaning the original lash adjusters it really improved the common problem of top end tapping but eventually it came back so i bought some replacement lash adjusters and fitted them along with a service. i also bought a proper tool for the job […]
(First posted on MLR forum in April 2014) Thought it’d be a good plan to do a boost leak check. So I machined up a bung to fit in the turbo inlet that would allow me to connect the compressor via a tyre valve. using some washing liquid in water i put it everywhere to […]
