Yea Si, its a lot quieter than i expected but i like it better for the long journeys with kids in the back. The car performs so much better as well its got rid of the cold start stutter as well... So thank you very much... hows stripping the car getting on... have you managed to get the brembos off if you get chance to take the rear discs off i'll defo have them may also need the n/s rear brake caliper mines either on its way to ceasing can be the cables cus there not that long been replaced...

Hi Sli Si, Karl says you may have a throttle position sensor available for a 1999 HGT 155??? Simon

 

[jords]

good stuff karl glad it runs better as well. has the power increased do you think? I reckon it will have now you've taken that lorry cat off it! haha. never mind not letting harmful gases through im surprised that cat let any air through at all...

 

[Karl]

Ha ha, yeah that CAT was the biggest ive ever seen.... I took it to the scrapyard and they have this fantastic tool for testing how much precious metals are in a CAT, from one side they push a stick in and then from the other side they push the same stick in...

Well you seen how big that cat was (about 3ft long) stick went in about 6inchs at one side then about 18inchs the other meaning is was only half a cat registered as a Medium sized CAT £33 back better than nothing..

I would say yes it does have more power it gets to motorway speed very quickly.

Thanks for getting in touch!!!!

Hi Sly Si, I'm after 2 bits if possible. The first is the throttle position sensor which is attached to the throttle body apparently (sorry I'm not that good with car engines - yet!) and also the handbrake gaitor with the plastic bit that clips in around the base..mines broken so it always rides up. Are you able to help??? Kind regards, Simon

 

[jords]

lol karl, at least it paid the fuel to get the new zorst i suppose. Bonus =).

 

[Karl]

Bump........

well jordon wants the same thing your after so will have a word with him and see what he says.

the brembos are off and cleaned and could be gone very shortly

if in doubt, give it a clout

 

[Karl]

Ya got em off then, what did you end up doing striping the hub and lot off or have you just got the calipers, pads & disc off..... i would love to have them but probably too much for me...

I'f jords wants the Rear disc setup thats fine just remember to strip everything off inc hub, spacer, dust plate, hand brake cables and the hose's as there longer than the 1.8's.

Failing the above i'll take the Disc and pad's...
