Just put some kak old steel wheels on Kasandra and drive her daily. No one will know she is worth 8K ;)

........and a hot engine. i.e thermostat open (Sorry can't edit my posts for some reason)

.......using a strobe light obviously lol

You basically disconnect the tps, blip the throttle a bit the let the idle settle. Adjust the idle speed to 650-700 then adjust the dizzy timing to 15btdc. This should sync the ECU to the dizzy. The plug tps back in and adjust the idle speed to normal. Good luck

Have you set the dizzy timing correctly i.e with the tps unplugged?

Definitely looks spot on to me too

I think that's the same one that I have and it works fine. Mine came from China

Your looking at 100-110 I would say. My Lupo tdi is 75hp stock and all of the mappers aim for 100-105 as a safe upgrade. You can go higher but then you risk stressing out other components along the line.

Just out of interest, what are the running costs of a 3D printer like? I used to be a 3D Cad draughtsman and have been interested in giving this a go for a while.

Are you sure it's not flooding? Can you smell fuel? It's a common problem with the K11. Pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it over and hope it's something simple like this

I have had my 1.3 engine fitted for nearly a year now but I have always felt that it's not running as well as it should. It just lacks the fizz that I expected and feels flat. I have 2 other cars, both which have a quoted 75hp and as the Micra is lighter I would expect better performance. On...

I use one of those none return bleed valves but I suppose if your just using a bit of tubing then it could :)

Yep that's the correct way of doing it. I do: unlock, peddle down, lock, release pedal Doing it like this will sort it I'm sure :)

Now sold :)

hmmmm. It's likely fooked but you never know till you look. Someone on here or on the FB page will have one in sure. I actually sold my spare one last week :( If not then the scrapers is your best bet

Has it always made this noise or is it new ?

You can see it here

It's tensioned with spring and oil pressure so no manual adjustment. You really need to inspect first to see what's up. If you do remove it be VERY carful not to drop the 2x securing bolts down into the engine. !!!

Yep. Support the engine under the sump with a jack and a piece of wood then remove the engine mount. You can then get at all of the bolts for the side cover. the chain should be solid without any flex (like yours) Check the tensioner, it should press tight against the chain

I would pop the side cover off and check the upper chain tensioner whilst you have it apart. Doesn't look like the upper chain is tensioned
