  1. they have just been changed, they were pretty caked up
  2. so maybe oil is building up somewhere? i'll ask my garage to look for signs when they take the plenum chamber off, as i say its not like an exhaust smell, its almost nice, but very strong over 4k revs, im just worried something is about to go pop i bought the car with no service history on risk, but gotr 2k off the asking price, subsequently found signs of side impact, hence i had everything serviced and checked, this is the last issue to check out, hope i can find the source
  3. well i changed the clutch 3 months ago, only thing i can think of from what is left over and what you guys suggest is the headers, the rest of the exhaust is new, i have Berk Cats, Stillen Y pipe and Crapspeed k2 rear, it was making that burning smell before all of those so you think maybe headers?
  4. that's my next job, soon as i get the tool needed
  5. its not unpleasant,not like the engine is eating metal, just has to get you thinking what's causing it? im having the plenum chamber removed and worked on next week, maybe they'll see some symptoms there? but it has many people baffled !
  6. ahh i didnt check the filter for lost kebabs, silly me!
  7. I have had a burning smell under acceleration or even just over 4k revs, ive asked before but no one had an idea Ive had a full service, all fluids , belts, plugs, new exhaust, what else could be causing it?
  8. its counteracting depreciation ! ive added 2p to the value!
  9. i can confirm this works, takes 5 mins, literally...and your non hatch opening problems are gone! cost me 2p
  10. Its a 2004 Im really chuffed with the head unit and the wiring 'cheats' , was weird having a DVD playing on the move! ..the sound is really crisp too, i so dont miss that old BOSE unit!!
  11. well got it all fitted and it all works...woooo only issue is the fascia, the one supplied doesnt fit and the suggested after market one doesnt fit properly either.. what did you use with your JVC in the pic? it looks like it fits perfectly
  12. there's quite a few 350's in that area, including me!
  13. ive just ordered some, so im blaming you if they are pants!
  14. i think im going to break and get FI , im just not keen on the noise a supercharger makes
  15. that's mad. adding NOS lowers it?! i always thought if you cant see a mod, it shouldnt go up that much
  16. how bad does the insurance premiums go up with supercharging in your experience?
  17. but no knock control? that sounds pretty deleterious!
  18. no knock control?? fk that then lol
  19. i assume that tuner went for max bhp at the expense of everything else?
  20. any dyno readouts for Haltech and a 350? i cant find any
  21. i see people suggest piggy-back, do they mean in addition to the OEM ECU? or straight replacement ECU
  22. which haltech unit is it? there's a few on their website
