Well, under further inspection, where I had cleaned the area around the hole for the sensor, I found a hairline crack, just on the edge , leading in towards the hole of the sensor.....I only noticed it after refilling the oil, and watching for any leaks. So, looks like, oil back out, clean, prepare,...

Re: No power on acceleration,...

The new MOT things was on the news yesterday,. Seems theyre looking for extra excuses to take out the older type car. I think its a right liberty, i understand the reasoning, but at the same time, they have to understand (and care??), not everyone can afford a newer motor, with lovely emissions, min...

Re: No power on acceleration,...

After removing the EGR pipe, to the silver hat, and bunging it up with a tight screw, i didnt notice any more power loss. So, i was thinking to leave it at that, but ive been obsessing over the ...

Re: No power on acceleration,...

I've cancelled the n75, I was hoping it be a quick swap out, and I'll be going again!! I think I've got my head round the vane clean thing, so should be not too bad.
