Today was eventful!
A friend managed to get me some driveshafts along with MAF's and ICV's to test on the engine - been having some troubles with it
My mate Jamie also popped over this morning to hand me a TPS.
First off the spark plugs needed changing as the old ones were knackered.

While Jamie was still there, we had a look at this TPS problem. After lots of checks we narrowed it down to the Sensor itself - the wiring and throttle were fine with no airleaks present.
The old TPS had been slightly bent, meaning the ECU was always seeing a constant throttle position due to how it sat. We swapped these over and it sorted it.

I then put the shafts in and filled up the box with oil

The brakes and clutched needed a quick bleed, so i did that. Then it was time to see if it actually worked, which it did!

That was about all that happened. I took it for a drive down the road and all is well
Whoring time
