    Default Xe head "repair"

    Anyone point me in the direction of the "how to" repair, for the xe head emulsifying problems?

    Tis currently ok (iirc baxter has had the head off at somepoint though, long story!) Just wanted to do it whilst its out on the floor.

    i know the one, i sold it you for £50, as i was going out the country for 2 weeks the day after,

    it had a power problem, had 3 crank sensors, a new AFM, still nothing, tuned out to be a block exhaust or something iirc,

    anyway, nope never had the head off, the only thing i took off was the LSD gearbox

    Cool, i'll have it off then and do the gasket and mod whilst i'm at it. Yeah cts was fooked and it'd been overfuelling badly, thus fooking the cat.
