Sorry you will need to speak to the admin team. Thanks

See along the top of this window, a bunch of icons. Fifth one along allows you to upload a picture.

That's an interesting point, but I bet a dig around the blogs and websites you'd probably find some information. But these days with fully synthetic oils I bet, for road car use, there is not much between them and if you are reducing change intervals because of high stress situations, I should...

If you are concerned about this build of carbon and are modifying your engine, or have some spare funds, I'd recommend fitting a multi injector water/methanol kit. These function at set boosts and will effectively steam clean your valves, ports and combustion chambers, whilst providing more...

This is a fine example of what a bottomless pit can create. This is engineering at the cutting edge (at its time) and we still see the F1 engines banging out over 1000hp, but at what experience, and cost. The engines are stripped and rebuilt after every race with no expense spared towards...

All top quality oils are manufactured to an SAE standard, so can be relied on. Check what the rally team for the Citroën are using, that will help point you. But as you are extracting so much power from the car, think about changing the oil and filter far more frequently, especially if you are...

Stick with top quality fully synthetic oil, what do the race teams use, or rally teams? Gives you good indication. If you are extracting that much power, you will need to reduce your service intervals by at least a half. Perhaps even down to 6000km between changes, especially if you are pushing...

I can categorically state that a K&N filter with a full flow exhaust is not your problem here. If it is only one cylinder that is suffering, then you have a piston, piston ring or valve stem and seal problem. Which at the milage you state would not be unreasonable to expect. If you were...

My suggestion, as you want to keep the original motor, is to search the scrap yards for another motor with low miles and one that has never been messed with. Set up a clean room / dirt room workshop and get to it. Strip, clean and inspect, have checked if unsure. Get rematchined if needs be...

Hi, I get where you are coming from and understand your ideas. I'm a small engine big hp nutter to. I run a street legal 1.2tsi Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo Estate, which is currently running at 160hp. However you are failing to see the fundamentals, especially with what @SLEEPER says. A 1200cc...

So pleased to hear you're OK, and the healing process is progressing well. Terrible shame about lockdown again, it just seems to go around and around... I'm not convinced we will ever truly get on top of it. The virus is to smart and quick, and humans are to stupid. A shame. Our government has...

Hope everything is going well. All the best Kev

That's is such great news, really pleased for you, and a relief that you can use the clutch OK. You get used to the altered sensation I'm sure. Job well done I'd say, and yes, time to get back to living. I'm very happy for you. Enjoy. Best wishes Kev

Aww thank you for the video song, that's very emotive.... Glad the leg is healing well. Take care of it.

Well, we all learn something new every day. None of us can know everything, and until we get feedback like this, we can often never know. Thanks for letting us know. Two years is a long time, but these often dark hidden problems are so obscure they rarely happen or come to the light. Your...
