Now after getting my engine built back up and everything running spot on i booked my car in to the rollers to get it set up stage 3 style , so tonight though id get my new 044 pump and new filter fitted , easy yes NO Dropped the cradle to find this disaster ! now someone decided to do this , fitted a "nova" type filter , cut it and added hose and jubilees in etc , total shitter and pi$$ed me right off , hopefully trying to get the correct fittings for saturday to go via the genuine filter etc to pump , the pump looked about 100 years old too anyway heres a little picture that i had to take when i dropped cradle





Oh and to make matters worse got super unleaded in my eye

do you think youl have it done ready for sun rab...........??????/

Stoo

That's shocking Rab You sure you never owned the car before? lol

rabmc

If i have stuff saturday morning i can fit it easy in no more than 1 hour , but in at ava at 10 so need dont know if i should totally cancel or see if i could get later booking at all , dont want to mess them about and parts dont come etc , really dont know what to do

Stoo

I wouldn't rely on the PO mate. Even if it comes at 8, an hour to fit (Providing no more problems arise) and then 45 mins to get there...bit tight big guy

I'd change the time to midday. Otherwise you could have a very crap day

ive had to do it before,after running my car in,i was booked in at ava at 10 on a sat,at 7am changed chip,and injectors,map sensor only for car not to start,i was just taking through to get set up,we spent an hour checking everything,in the end all 4 greys were seized solid,so had to put back to standard to drive through,phoned alan to explain,i eventually got there at 12.30,had to hang around for a space but got it sorted about 2 when someone didint turn up
