Good progress Ad.
Nice cars the mk4's.Really like that a lot ad
I has a 2002 1.8 SRi same colur as yors but a 5 door
well done chappy its a ballacke doing things like that but i like it because it gets you closer to the car like (sounds abit saft but you get to know the car like?) you fired here up yet?
Christ dude, that's a coot. Quick, Zlet it.
You dont mess about do you Adam, good going and i hope thats the end of the engine bother for you, lucky you can get your sleeves rolled up and do the gasket yourself rather than have to get some garage to do it for you.
Had to laugh about saying you couldnt see the back of the car do to the crap from the exhaust i bet it seemed normal at first till you realised 'hang on i dont drive a weasel anymore' lol
Liking the new daily Adam! Nice work there too ;)
Yeah, i thought "Fook im putting some fuel/boost through this thing", then "oh bollocks, its a clean petrol lollollollollol"Quote:

Turned key, fired up first go, fcuking get in :cool:
No tapping, no smoke, no leaks. Good job i changed the oil/filter because when i drained it the oil was white :eek::eek:
Just done 35mile and coolant level has not moved in the tank. The rough idle has also gone, runs smooth as fook again and it seems to pull better too (not suprising seeing as now all 4cyls are burning petrol/air and not petrol/air/water lol.
Temperature gauge sits just under half, and doesnt move
Well pleased :d
Now i can start spending on some proper bits for it! Coilovers ftw :thumb:
Spud-Lucky its a job i can do myself, would probably be £300+ in a garage at a guess.
Its cost me £54 to sort. Ive sold the cd player that came in the car originally for £60, so im still £6 up :cool:
Good skills on the stereo then bud and im glad it went spot on for ya too, enjoy your new toy then dude :d
6quid up, good work dude.
Quick update on the astra, with a few dodgy cam phone pics lol lol lol
