    look at it this way mate, after you have had this little spending spree it will be MINT and then you can keep it for years with no worries. i had the same about 3 years ago, had new brakes all round, wheel bearings, exhaust, tyres, engine mounts, lower wishbones and track rod ends all in about 9 months !!!! since then it has been plain sailing (except the radiator blowing up!!) and i still love it as much as the day i got it. remember new cars aren't any different, they still break down on you, bleeding things! :@

    undo the small metal one, that will drain the oil from the filter housing. then undo the big plastic cap and then the filter comes out. check which way it is in there as i have heard of people puting them back in the wrong way up.

    it wouldn't need to be that hot - if you spilt some coolant on the exh manifold or the heast shield it will burn off/steam/smoke at pretty low temp. remember of course the exh manifold gets very hot very quickly compared to the rest of the engine...

    no worries - still looks cool....
  20. richievr
    they should be the same!?? the rear one goes straight in too - i have one in mine.
  21. richievr
    yeah i mean the whole unit unfortunately.. the mileage will therefore be different, unless you are real lucky and get one with about the same as yours!!
  22. richievr
    the rev counter is wrong because it is now getting 6 impulses per engine revolution (cos it's now a 6 cylinder), and it expects 4 (cos it was a 4 cylinder). so it is probably 50% fast. it is only a display unit so your engine is not actually going that fast , it just displays it wrong. (6k showing is gonna be 4k actual revs) as said get some vr clocks (95 onwards) and all will be right again.. it should still have a rev limiter as i believe it is built into the ecu programming so you SHOULD be ok, just try not to rag it too much (if that's possible with the vr roar!! :-p )
