Actually having read down even further on that i seriously wouldn't recommend anyone to rely on that guide..............the bit about doing valve stem seals (probably the easiest job ever) is just WRONG and no 2 ways about it

Its just shit IMO, theres lots of little things in there i picked up on.
Theres also a reference in there to poor cold starting and checking if your cold start valve is working, we ALL know the score with cold start valves and what 99.9% of the time best to do with them!!
Find that valve stem bit and u will see, that could actually cause someone a serious problem if relied upon

Pistons 1 & 3 are never at TDC at the same time..........if someone is really unlucky they will end up dropping a valve and having to take the head off to refit it
So do we agree, the guide is a soapy pile of wank?

some of it is useful..... why not correct the things he has posted wrong and do something constructive..... instead of just slagging off a lad who is trying to help people?

i never said you didnt help anybody out did i?.... i also didnt say the thread was "SO GOOD" LOL.... i said SOME OF IT was useful.
wind your neck back in or your head might fall off LOL
i can use any website i wish and started posting on here a while befor you.
nobody should be critised for being helpful.....
that advice the lad has given isnt set in stone and im sure anyone with any commen sense would double check any information they get off the internet anyway.....

Lol.......indeed you joined 2 years before me, i seem to of posted some 6,500 posts more than you and you will find a very large percentage of them are helping others......ill do my best to help anyone that posts up with problems.
That link is exhaustive reading and un-accurate, ill stick to helping people the way i have so far.
Anything that is inaccurate and that could end up costing someone money because its wrong certainly has the right to be criticized.
The point is that i doubt very many people have sucessfully fixed cars from that link, its far more effective to actively answer peoples questions, and above all, theres the fact thats on a different forum which i am not a member of.............

DazC theres loads of little things, most of it sounds like its been written based on what people have been passed down and not from actual experience.
I really would love to read it all and help get it right but its far too long and boring to read it all IMO

The part about "cold start problems" need's to be edited as i would say the first thing to check is that there is a fuse in the heated seat slot as we all know this can cause cold starting problems too if there aint one and is an easy fix
before you go spending load's of money on new sensors

And the bit that says if the car won't cold start to check the cold start valve is working, we ALL know more often than not the cold start valve IS the problem
