Sad news mate.. But really hope you get it sorted quickly! . o O (Note to self.. stop feckling with the turbo this week )
cullenmin Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Oh ****e, I've just blown a gasket. Ok good news is that its not a gasket. Theres a hole in the headers for a sensor. I don't have a sensor in there so it was a plug. I've blown out my plug. Quick phone call to AWD and they are delivering one out to me, hopefully get that tomorrow and bobs yer uncle Oh the drama Rich PS ne offence to anyone who has tractors (you know who you are), but mine does sound like big massey just now Edited April 28, 2009 by Cullenmin
jonboywrx Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Oh the drama Thats lucky eh pal, took mine to subaru today, they were busy till friday so i went to mitsubishi next door and they are looking at the driveshaft now, said it will be well ready by friday! so fingers crossed!! Otherwise anyone got any spare room for 2 in there car?? lol
micra_wrc Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 ... I've blown out my plug. .... is that even possible? hope you get it sorted in time Rich fingers crossed the chaps with the last minute hiccups get things sorted nothing like a bit of drama and car-fixing before a big event lol
scooby222 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 if you need any bits picked up from awd gie us a shout Rich- usual fee applies
cullenmin Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 is that even possible? Aye thats what I thought, but with hugh temperature cycles it has been known for these to work they're way loose and blow out Cheers for the offer dave, I should have a plug tomorrow, lets hope it fits. I have 2 bottles of octane booster which will do me 2 tanks, do you think that will be enough? is the last V-Power at fort william or inverness? (not sure what route were going from inverness) Rich
cullenmin Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Thats lucky eh pal, took mine to subaru today, they were busy till friday so i went to mitsubishi next door and they are looking at the driveshaft now, said it will be well ready by friday! They better not put a mitsu shaft in there Hope you get your problems sorted too jon, see you saturday

(not sure what route were going from inverness) First and Last V-power will be Inverness... But I'm sure Scooby-Girl or Scooby222 can confirm a SuperUnleaded station in Portree? (Take it they have plenty of stock!) Just working out the miles just now.. Looks like about 310miles (ish) all together (+ getting home miles.) Will break off into seperate groups at the end in a central location (miles away from Inverness ) and those from the north head home north and those from the south head south. That's the plan anyway.. Day 1 Approx 160 miles Day 2 Approx 150 miles (+ getting home miles) Edited April 28, 2009 by ScoUK
cullenmin Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Day 1 Approx 160 miles Day 2 Approx 150 miles (+ getting home miles) A tank per day then, 1st tank will be full of the V, 2 bottles should be enough then, cheers Al Rich
hosstheboss Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 A tank per day then, 1st tank will be full of the V, 2 bottles should be enough then, cheers Al Rich I plan to p*ss in my tank on Sunday morning after a curry and a gazzilion pints of lager on Saturday night so no booster required!
