Mudman Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Go on then - how much you reckon in total ? as I sort of contributed ! haha 1 Quote
Ekona Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Hang on, engine rebuild but your oil pressure sender isn't working? Erm, maybe it's just me but I'd quite like that fixed before I drove a car after open heart surgery. 2 Quote
-Bradders- Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 Just shy of 3.5k might be less tbh, not sure, including gearbox too! And nah, oil pressure always been sensor issue lol, its not smoking which is the good thing! Quote
Ekona Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 For the sake of a hundred quid, why on earth did you not get the sensor done too?! 2 Quote
-Bradders- Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 For the sake of a hundred quid, why on earth did you not get the sensor done too?! Few hundred quid? they aint that much lol, new sensor is on its way lol and will be done as soon as it arrives lol. 2 Quote
bytespc Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Ekona ...totally agree one hundred percent....I don't actually think I could drive it without the pressure showing especially after what happened 1 Quote
-Bradders- Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 I did a manual pressure gauge test and it showed fine pressure so im not worried lol! 1 Quote
Ceejay29 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Well done Bradders, great work in putting her back on the road 1 Quote
chirag1988 Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Looking forward to seeing her on her maiden drive tomorrow up to ace! Now I can follow behind knowing I'll be able to breath safe air rather than your oily farts 2 Quote

PageyUK Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Watched this thread throughout and just wondering how the car is running since the rebuild? 1 Quote
-Bradders- Posted September 26, 2016 Author Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Watched this thread throughout and just wondering how the car is running since the rebuild? Just fine mate! Still going strong, needs mapping as i have a plenum spacer, decats, couple usual bolt ons and its running rich! atm. Done just under 5000 miles since Edited September 26, 2016 by -Bradders- Quote
PageyUK Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Good news, sounds like your builder did a good job. All that work and worry was worth it 1 Quote
OliverB Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Hey Bradders, where are you/your helpful builder man based? May be looking at a rebuild next year and this looks like a top job (and for less than the cost of the Torqen route). Understand you'd probably rather PM If I were to do it, I'd go for strengthened internals in order to go FI at a later date (or at least have the option), so hopefully it'd be something different for the forum!
