    No mate, have a search for nova aluminium radiators, looks like they’ve gone up in price though as I found one that was £139 or offers, they all look to be £155 now

    Finally got the correct water bar, it’ll do until tx autosport get more in with the matrix hoses.


    And fuel pump brackets have arrived so I can fit pump and fuel lines and wire the pump up!

    All the hoses are now on, water bar swap on an xe in a nova bay isn’t fun!!





    Removed the dampener and cut the fuel pump bracket down, it’s now in bits ready to be blasted and painted.

    Done and ready to fit, gave it a clean up and a coat of stone chip/underseal because of where it sits

    So the engine is wired up fully.
    Fitted new donut along with AFM, intake pipe and cone filter.
    Refitted AFPR.


    Also wasn’t happy with the rusty self tapper fixings for the coil pack and header tank so drilled them out and fitted m6 ClinchNuts, will be doing the same for the headlights and grill too

    Battery is on charge so will be attempting first start tomorrow.

    So tried starting the car yesterday, knackered fuel pump
    And a leaky fuel hose which has now been replaced.
    New pump ordered.
    Also found a leak between servo and master cyl when trying to bleed the brakes so that’s all coming off today.

    Did manage to drill out the crap self tapping screws for the headlights and grill and replace with rivnuts like the coil pack and header tank
    Ideally today I will sort the leaky servo out and remove the old pump ready for the new one

    What was leaking from the master? The vaccum or fluid

    Brakes all fixed, split the master cyl from the servo, the end rubber washer in the master cyl was sat properly so removed it,gave it a clean and also cleaned the groove in master cyl and put it all back together, all bled and no leaks!!

    Filled the gearbox with oil, getting the level plug out isn’t easy on an F20 in a Nova, the rear mount and spacer are in the way, had to remove bottom 19mm bolt, loosen the top one and push the mount spacer out of the way, box now filled with nice new oil.

    New pump arrived so fitted that, fitted new battery (Euros had a 55% off offer )
    Turned key, car cranked but wouldn’t fire.
    Dropped the rear off the axel stands so it would be easier to pull fuel through (I only put a fivers in it)... cranked again but nothing.
    Pressed the valve on the fuel rail and it just gave a hiss of air, so I bridged the pump relay so the pump ran, and the held the fuel rail valve open, could hear the hiss and the pump note changed, second later some fuel spat from the valve.
    Removed the relay bridge and cranked it again and she fired first crank

    So in a great mood this eve!!

    Next step is torque up CVs, sort the exhaust, fill with coolant , get it to temp and change the oil.
    Then it’s MOT time.
