Just checked under the car....no signs of oil leak, no drips anywhere, although the rear part of the subframe is wet with oil, and the back of the sump. I've not lost any though - 14 mile round trip, with some full throttle, and the oil level has remained consistent. Pressure is 25psi cold...

Gaboon - tone down the language please - this is a build thread, not somewhere for you to throw your teddy out of the pram because someone has a difference of opinion. Remember who's thread this is.

I've heard the clack of death before - i have no desire to hear it again!

Ian - you you reckon i've done serious bottom end damage? There's no clack noise, the pressure is perfect as always again (now it has oil)...or is the 7M toying with me before it goes 'LOL I go RK nao.' ? It wasn't driven past 2500rpm, most of the trip (4 miles) was driven in 4th/5th gear at...

I know - my bad. It's always the one time you DON'T check it that shit hits the fan. I check it almost every time i go out - but on this one occasion, you've got pissing rain, no coat, you're cold, you're tired, you want to go home :/

I'd never be as stupid as to put in thicker oil to get the pressure up - come on, credit me with a little more intelligence than that. I'm not a noob - i'm just paranoid with the 7M. I'd rather be cautious and go for 'worst case scenario' thinking than be unprepared. I'm a realist. I'd rather...

7M paranoia. It's that 'if it's been run low on oil, doesn't matter how okay it sounds now, it's DOOMED' feeling.

Build thread is on hold. Maybe indefinitely. I don't know about you guys, but after a string of problems, i've yet again become disheartened with the car. The latest oil leak and impending engine death (we all know what happens to 7M's that run low on oil) have pushed me to a crossroads. I...

Okay - so i can fit it in situ. Do i need to remove the sump as well? TSRM doesn't obviously cover oil seal replacement in this manner! :( I guess if i have to replace it - i have all the parts i need, and a new clutch to go in. Although, if it were the rear seal...and forgive me if this sounds...

GRRRR. Can you replace it with the engine in situ - or is it an engine out job?

DONT PANIC! ...at least, i hope not! :( Started the Supe today to bring it back from a friends house, and after about 1/2 a mile, i noticed that the oil pressure was odd. It was 20psi, but barely going any higher. It was also a bit rattlier than usual from cold. I decided to baby it into town...

Any idea where i can locate the inverse of the injector clips? I know someone has bought them before to make an adapter that they can use regular 550cc injectors on, but what they are, and where they're from, i dunno :/

Happy Bidet! :D

Yes, i know this thread is probably ancient history by now - but, the LFM in the UK Mk3's is decidedly different looking on the inside, to those already posted: Also - can anyone identify the corroded component between the diode and the fusible link/jumper on the far right hand side? Looks...

This was emailed to me - and i LOL'ed: ------- I was recently in (where was it?) Miami? and I have now decided to learn Spanish, so I can understand the check-outs at McDonalds. My next move is to learn whatever it is I need to learn....Polish...

This man is :D

D16A6 in my old Rover 216 GTi put out 120hp or so, the D16A8 twin cam was about 130 - not bad for a 1.6 litre engine.

Catalyst Control Centre and the monitoring program...uses a whole 19mb of available memory, according to task manager. Without CCC - Crossfire doesn't work. And for the sake of 19mb? No thanks, i'll keep it installed and running.
