well looking at your engine bay its a mess boy and the fire may have damaged some stuff as well.
Anyway I can bet your missing the starter heatshield which will cause the problem. |

well theres still the missing heatshield which will be your prob, when I next see you I'll have a look and point at its absence, they always go missing. I broke the orions off accidentally today. |

hmm needs standard bumpers put on it and mate plug the overboost switch back in, if the turbos knackered its not gonna even boost to trip it and its best to keep em plugged in.
When you get the new turbo on it adjust the switch or I will do it for ye.
Its ok, forgot how wee they were, last gtt i was in was Hollinsheads when me and ben went to his. |

 I was driving in the town one night and my GF said she could smell burning, i couldnt so carried on driving and 5 mins later she goes "I definetly smell BURNING" I said to her "As long as it aint my car i dont care (the actul words wer I DONT GIV A FUCK)", Then 100yrds along the road my lights cut out and the engine dies, im saying to myself wat now? (nervously), Then suddenly  i c the smoke cuming from under the bonnet so i pull in and my instinct kicks in, I open the bonnet to a flash of fire at my face , again instinct kicks in and i get water of my m8 (who had just purchased two 2L bottles) and started pouring. Hearing all the hissing and sparks i battled to put the flames out and succeded . Then it dawns on me the damage that has bn done and the damage i hav done by pouring water on it.
I hav to admitt i got away with it, A badly burnt heatsheild and a burnt through earth wire..................which brings me to the conclusion that the thread i posted on NOT STARTING might b becoz of that fukin wire. I got it fixed by an auto electrition but hav now went down and had a look to find he has just jointed it onto a new piece connecting it to the battery (BASTARD)!
But anyway thats wat happened .
THE END. |

dunno a while back, when he just got the car i think.
Its been nedded up with crappy bumpers, the fronts worse than the back, its all round. Looks like a fiesta bumper.
His big arse has also torn the seat. |
