Re: Slightly dented wheel lol
Try Huxley Motorsport in Malvern Worcestershire if your local he's repaired for me before but i think you may find its beyond repair as its quite a long crack usually the weld will give the wheel a slight wobble after that balances out but as your crack goes around the rim It would be hard and its n...

Re: Sticky veins turbo - Mr muscle
Worth a try though it will mean changing the connector wiring. The Egr has the vacuum hose removed on it and blocked off for years.
The mechanic that looked at it said it was under boosting. I have replaced the some of the vac hoses but I guess might have to do this with silicon ones.

Re: Sticky veins turbo - Mr muscle
I am moving the actuator every ten minute for two hours the actuator has been tested. I can't afford to change £100 parts as it could be that. I got one from a scrappy n75 and that was the same. I have noticed a hissing from the egr cooler so guess it could be that too. Too be honest I think I am d...

Re: B5's on Corsa/e36 rear coilies - gettin the rear lower
might prove another controversal one but how about trying bora rear coilover springs? i would of thought that would bring it down it although not sure on safety.

Sticky veins turbo - Mr muscle
I need to try and sort my limp mode problem before I go insane.
I am going to try the mr muscle trick as it's relatively cheap. The videos I have seen are all pretty simple but none show what to do when you have all the extra pipes for the egr cooler. Can it still be done or is it better another way?
