Grimsqueaker 1 Report post Posted October 1, 2015 Hi folks just had a 2003 plate JTS selespeed turn up, not really had much of a chance to poke around yet , but its got the manifold disconnected and apparently the plastic water pipe is cracked. Anybody here previously owned it? Was going to get the battery fully charged and plug in the diagnostics and see what it tells me, although I did reset the fuel cutoff whilst having a rummage.

Smaky 73 Report post Posted October 5, 2015 I did the cambelt and brakes on it a few years ago but haven't seen it since. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimsqueaker 1 Report post Posted November 15, 2015 right im a bit peeved right now, just got the bloody thing started and it sounds like somebody is in the engine hitting things with a sledge hammer, guess this engine is bolloxed as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted November 15, 2015 Remove the cam cover, I've contacted the owner I knew and he said 3 years ago it burst the oil cooler because some garage tightened up the oil filter too much, ran out of oil and the knocking started (bottom end gone), if it has now been filled with oil and run then the cams will be worn too.
