i'm goin for that rustic, used intake look...
looks ok, but will be swapped for something prettier soon, unfortunately doesn't sound any different, i was expectin more noise
obviously it's psychologically a lot faster now too!
also today, put new interior in, nothing major - non-airbag front seats lose bit of weight! lol, and also had a play and with some upholstery paint and made them a bit darker. The pics don't show it well, but in real life you can hardly see the pattern, they look a lot darker than normal, bit nicer i think
with the airbag light flashin on, if i take the bulb out will it fail MOT, or is the airbag system not part of it, a few have ditched their airbags haven't they, rowdy? wezz?

love you baby
isn't the water pump a diff size seein as the it's that pulley that's bigger?! i'm confused now, i'm not very bright you know
that's right, no air con
in terms of fittin, is it tricky? what's the score? @ tdc, in gear, loosen belts and remove, unbolt, swap, refit?! lol. nice n simple
nah mate, the 4 holes on the WP pulley are the same width apart as the standard one so it just bolts up lovely. dont have to put it at TDC either as there is a woodruff key in the crank (the little cut out on the pulley) so the pulley can only go on one way. nice and simple dude. the hardest part will be getting the standard pulley off and the tightening the PAS belt can be a bit of a pain.
haha, cheers mate - speaking of which, gettin em undone is a bastard! any bright ideas how you did it? and water pump?
i had air tools matey, they help massively :lol: advantages to working in a garage so if im honest i wouldnt know. the water pump ones you could use a belt and hold it tight around the pulley so it doesnt turn. the only way i could think to do the crank one is to get a pry bar on the flywheel but errrrrrrrrrrrm yeh

- not sure i like the sound of thattried and failed unfortunately mate, just turns still. not got a strap or owt here at the mo, but will try that later
ooh, good idea, just a 1" spanner on the cam hex isn't it?
it does undo normal anti-clockwise doesn't it? :lol: and water pump should be easier shouldn't it.
cheers for all the help mate, i owe you some man love, errr i mean a pint or summin, definitely a pint or 2
