seems to be a lovely car, there are a few problems rust around the tailgate mainly around the rear wiper and the bonnet has some bubbling rust but you can't see it when its closed lol, also the bonnet release it broken the cable is fine I can open it but the handles slot/catch (were it rotates) is broken.

Hopefully it will be a good little for her when all the little problems are sorted out

Put the engine in a nova :)

[Novasport]

Insurance will be a tad high for a first time driver won't it?

[Andy]

have you buckled her in it yet?

[John]

have you buckled her in it yet?
Lmao, was just gonna say, bonnet looks relatively undented?

[turbojolt]

Insurance size offs a 450 quid deposit and payments and 10 monthly payments of 160 quid, I'm giving her 50 quid a month to help her out and as I will be driving it aswell seems the right thing to do lol

And I barley get it indoors let alown out side on a bonnet,

Got a couple things to have a look at hand brake light stays on even when the hand brake is fully down, not a lot I can do right now as I need to buy some tools left all my bits back down south with my brother and dad.

[turbojolt]

I blanked my egr in my van :cool: much better :d

[scott.parker]

Blank the egr off??

If you need any parts let me know, Ive got a full sport same color I'm breaking.

[brainsnova]

Black the egr off??

No blank lol it stops the exhaust gasses going through the inlet on my transit td. The gasses over time choke up the manifold with a black tar oily stuff which suffocates the engine.

[scott.parker]

spelling mistake

[turbojolt]

So what does the egr valve do? and what is involved in blanking it off also will this stop the engine warning light coming on

[MK999]

It put soot and crap back through your inlet to keep the hippies in the EU happy. Metal plate bolted to where the valve should be and job jobbed, there will be a way round the engine warning light either connecting the plug into a closed loop or a resistor etc. I'd look round the net, bound to be someone that's done it.

[scott.parker]

Check joffs project for his missis car, he did it ages ago on one

[turbojolt]

Will it still pass emissions with it blanked off then? need to get it sorted as its mot time in the next couple of months lol

Scott will take the gearlinkage off your hands if its in good condition this one is all over the place lol might get some other parts as well have to make a list

I may need the linkage part for transplant into the loon mate..

[MK999]

The emissions standards you have to pass to get a new car certified etc are far more stringent than MOT testing, by the time a car reaches 60 odd k and the intake is coated with crap they normally run with worse emissions than without EGR and a clean inlet anyway. Particularly bad on diesels where it can literally fill an intake and stop the car running eventually.

[turbojolt]

Sweet I have loads of metal (gas meter brakes ect) so I will look up how to do it now cheers guys


Scott is your tailgate rust free

[scott.parker]

Yep 100% BUT i could do with one on the shell till i get it all stripped inside

[turbojolt]

That's fine mate I'm in no rush at all lol if the bonnet is stone chip and rust free might have that off you aswell

[scott.parker]

It's not, but its ok, check pics in my breaking thread

[turbojolt]

I will have a look now mate cheers, stratford is in warkshire isint it?

[Balley]

Looks a tidy motor :)

Egr, lowers the combustion temperature by pumping exhaust gases into the inlet. The reason it runs colder is because the recycled gases don't help the combustion process like clean gases do, thus lowering the NOx levels in the exhaust.

PS the EGR is a **** to get to on baby xe's.

Here is a guide..

Jolt, my location does say S-O-A Warwicksire mate

[turbojolt]

Lmfao so it does

[Jedro]

get up there, chorsa sports are boss

i have a egr blanking plate here, haven't bothered fitting it as nobody can actually prove any gains and im lazy

[turbojolt]

I just want The engine warning light to go off for the mot

[boomtings1]

Check the brake fluid level for the handbrake warning light

[turbojolt]

Brake fluid really? Will check it tomorrow mate cheers

[turbojolt]

Changed the gaitors on the handbrake and gearleaver today looks alot smarter had a bit of a fail moment doing it tho



Spent (still half cut I want to add lol) 50 odd mins trying to stretch the handbrake gaitor on the gearleaver surround I was blaming her for not buying the right one the people that made it for making it wrong lmfao no one the xe in the nova never got finished
