Looks like the old CV joint has been hammered violently onto the driveshaft while the C-clip wasn't sitting perfectly concentric, therefore damaging the splines. while the C-clip is currently removed, - I'd suggest cleaning all dirt/grease off the splines 1st (using brake cleaner &...

2025-03-18 Rebuild Garage Roof My garage roof consists of a steel mesh cage covered with a mess of clear corrugated sheets, which tends to break from UV damage, high winds or being walked over, leading to annoying leaks over the car for the past few decades and I figure it's time to improve it...

2025-03-08 Check Peugeot 307 Fuel Pump After seeing the terrible rusty debris in kassandras tank (suspecting it's either from the old rusty steel filler pipe or dirty tesco fuel?) I figure it's best to check out the 20yr old peugeots fuel tank :unsure: The peugeot uses a return-less fuel...

It's been 1yr since I last checked the compression and 2yrs since checking valve clearances 👀 Insides look good from regular 6mth servicing with 10w40 castrol gtx Compression on all 4cyls are really good & equal :cool: Ever since I rebuilt this engine with perfect piston ring gaps in...

Main way to tell between the gearbox imo is the subtle design of the casing, Note the pre-face CG10 is smaller, thinner input shaft & driveshaft hole, less reinforcement webbing, no lower brace bolt holes. Can't find pic of facelift CG10 box. Note the cga3 is very different, more reinforcement...

afaik there's only a serial # at the top near the clutch cable support bracket The 2002 CG10 uses coilpack ignition with crank sensor at front of bellhousing so the only option is to swap to a cga3 box. The CG13 is a dizzy ignition and doesn't feature this crank sensor.

Cheers All of the GTIR discs I've ever brought have the same dimensions but the main problem is that the carrier cage and/or K11 hub bolt holes on mine makes the whole assembly sit 1-2mm too close to the disc until it rubs at high temp 🫣 But I remember other owners with same brakes didn't have...

I have a CG13 with larger 195/50/15 tyres which runs in 5th gear/2000rpm at approx 43mph The CG13 and CGA3 share a similar 5th/final gear ratio of 4.628 Earlier preface CG10 run a tall 4.7-4.9 ratio (est 41-42mph) Whereas the later face-lift CG10 runs a very short 5.22 ratio (est 38mph)

The caliper carrier has upto 2mm gap from the disc edge Whereas the caliper sits abit closer upto 1mm gap from the disc 🫣 notice the top of the pads have always sat 2mm too low from the edge of the disc I drilled the bolt hole slightly further outwards to shift the carrier approx...

Recently noticed hearing a slight rubbing noise once-per-wheel turn only at low speed, shortly after applying brakes and after driving for few mins. I suspect it might be the caliper rubbing on the edge of the discs (considering they were rebuilt recently) :unsure: Looking under the passenger...

2025-02-17 Walbro GSS250 Fuel Pump Detailed Look For a closer look at how the Walbro 255LPH internal gear type pump works and it's condition after 13yrs, I stripped it all apart & 3D modelled it too The port in the front plastic cover simply feeds fuel into the pump via this narrow...

Gradually working through my to-do list to replace all my nasty old weak solder with crimps 🫣 Next on my wiring list is to sort the wideband wiring.

2025-02-15 Replace Walbro GSS250 255lph Fuel Pump With approx 75% fuel level I removed the fuel pump assembly out of the tank. Not a fun procedure, even with gloves 🫣 🙈 Opened the container & oh my god! 😨 This clean face-lift fuel tank was swapped over 1 yr ago but now after filling it...

Didn't have much energy today but I managed to crimp the new relay wires together Reassembled the loom & dash Couldn't be bothered to correct the wideband wiring (connect 12v supply to the original O2 pink wire, add toggle switch to power-up wideband separately after cranking), check the...

Trying to reach that small plug behind the fuse box was difficult, so there's no option but to remove the dashboard for better access 🙈 With the dash removed I can easily probe all along the circuit to locate where this high resistance is coming from Looking behind the fuse box, there's no...

Looking deeper into the service manual wiring diagrams, I managed to trace where the fuel pump circuit goes and potentially locate Plug #1 (circled in red) where power from the ignition switch enters the drivers fuse box, which could be where this 0.25a voltage drop could be found looking...

2025-02-12 New Walbro GSS250 Fuel Pump The new Walbro GSS250 255lph fuel pump I brought on ebay arrived today, same as the current one Can see the positive displacement mechanical pump mechanism inside, compared to the OEM impeller type

Today I did a more thorough check of the voltage drops across the whole fuel pump circuit & plotted the values on this diagram Most of the old wiring consumes a normal 0.10-0.17v in drop, The relay & switch uses 0.01-0.09v This loom connector by the passenger LH footwell (joining the engine...

2025-02-11 Test Fuel Pump Voltage Drop In preparation for replacing the Walbro fuel pump, I figure it's best to first check if the pump is actually receiving full voltage in order for the fuel system to receive enough fuel flow, especially once it's turboed. I dismantled the fuel pump...

The other day whilst driving down to Leeds I noticed the mixture goes oddly really rich 13afr while cruising at 60-70 but fine at low speed or accelerating :unsure: Tday I checked & tweaked the map in Nistune and it turned out I forgot to re-enable the O2 close-loop in the fuel map 🫣 easy fix...
