Out of interest, genuine has a plastic impeller right?
I think the one I fitted was a KWP with a metal impeller... Are they OK?

Re: Low Coolant and wet foot well.. Coincidence? Or
Thanks for taking time to respond mate. I don't think I have a h pollen filer unless I'm looking in wrong place. I have a plastic grill by the Ecu nut no filter. (non aircon car btw). Im dreading it being the matrix. You said it would d be obvious if Coolant but it wasn't really obvious. Any smell o...

Re: Digifant on 2E engine - blue Coolant sensor?
Thanks for the info. Weirdly I stumbled across the same blog the other day! I have a rolling road nearby with Digifant experience so was looking a few things up. I agree about the sensor, must be an age thing, wouldn't be the first time! I have a BERU 4pin sensor on order which should be fine. Annoy...

Digifant on 2E engine - blue Coolant sensor?
Hi, been reading the Digifant tuning guide that's in a few places in line but I'm not sure if it's appropriate for a 2E engine and the replacing of the Blue Coolant sensor doesn't seem right because I can't see the 2E has one. There is only one sensor where the Coolant enter the block and its black ...

Change of plan, one the calipers is beyond reuse for my liking. New calipers it is. However the prices I quoted before were wrong.. Think I quoted rears. However, if you go euro car parts and use a code for 20% off you still get the full deposit back in the exchange calipers. New calipers and hoses ...

Thanks both. Given thete is no rush to get the car on the road and the car is pretty much "time warp ", I'm think I'm gonna refurbish the existing calipers for the sake of originality. I've worked on motorbike calipers before so shouldn't be a problem (famous last words!) ... and because I...
