  1. Another noisy engine thread Gen2 GT (UK RHD if it matters)

    so last year right before i was getting my timing chains / phasers / VCT's crank sprocket and tensioners changed to fix cam timing issues, I video'd the car with a somewhat noisy tickover and hoped the noise would go away. Always serviced with 5-20 oil grade figured after the work was done i'd...

  3. 5.0 camshaft phasers - Ford UK say they dont know what this is... help P0024 ongoing saga

    MY17 5.0 so, ongoing saga with my p0024 error. We've changed the exhaust VCT solenoid for a new one and still same error code and still same laggy performance low revs and general rubbish idle. Confirmed with Forscan that the exhaust cam timing is saying what to do, the duty solenoid is working...
  4. VCT solenoid 5.0 - looks like i need one but UK on back order :(

    hi, so finally managed to get some proper diagnostics done and the VCT for bank 2 exhaust is getting all the right commands electrically but it's stuck in advanced position hence my error code P0024 so we believe the VCT solenoid is stuck / worn / busted. UK part numbers are for old part-...

    anyone else watching it this weekend? 10$AUS for a months pass from supercars.com as i didn't renew my yr subscription at season start. Race kicks off Sunday morning 1115 local Aus time (0115hrs UK time i think). Lots of snacks to keep me alert for the 6hr race methinks :sunglasses:
  7. P0024 bank 2 B cam (exhaust)

    Sorry for cross posting but figured more exposure here. So have had a stumbling / hesitation after changing gear but no EML and initially I thought i had no error codes but using Forscan instead of torque pro i do have an error code stored. I have cleared it and after a drive it came back...

  9. quiet start 71plate - how?

    obv being a but thick here but how do you set the quiet start on a 71 plate? Trying not to tick off the neighbours with my hire car, which obv has no manual and online stuff (also only US models i've found) indicates menu is hidden and you need to be in quiet mode to start with which i dont seem...

  11. You have to laugh - it's our fault our cars are easy to steal

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11083917/AA-chief-says-keyless-car-fob-pouch-box-microwave-thieves-stole-car.html so because the car makers know even less about security than they know about making cars, it's up to owners to take extra steps to fix the inbuilt (in)security features of...
  12. um tyres... UK roads, daily driver kinda

  13. Changing UK headlights 15-17 models to get OEM tribars

    hello all. So i believe the 18> have the tribars wired up and working like our American friends have which is super cool but us poor <18 owners are a bit stuffed. I've seen various modifications mostly involving cutting open the OEM lights and sticking in some LED strips but none of these are...
  14. Bathurst 1000km Supercars V8

    anyone else going to be watching it? I normally watch it as long as possible live but with a 1am-130am Sunday start (UK times) it's like watching the Superbowl back in the 80's when games ran on forever! Going to catch up on the practice so far. Need to grab me some Fosters for it, cannot get...
  15. Bluetooth obd Torque/ throttle percent WOT

    I'm using the Torque Pro app (android) and at foot on the floor I'm showing 89% throttle, does that sound about right? I know many cars don't show 100% ever but just wondering what other folks are seeing on their apps / cars :)
  16. Aussie Supercars V8 - paddle shift for gen 3 - good idea / bad idea

    just wondered what you think about the proposed move to a paddle shift with autoblip for downshifts. Supercars says it saves money on blown / worn engines through over revving on the current manual blip / downshift but the drivers say it'll take skill away from the driving and also reduce the...

  18. narrowest garage door the s550 fits through

    er yeah. In practical terms what is the narrowest door opening this car fits through? I've seen 1985mm is the width of the car with mirrors retracted so call it 2metres but thats obviously scratching paintwork at that door width so whats the narrowest door folks regularly fit their car through...
  19. Washing microfibre cloths

    do you guys just chuck them in the washing machine and run a 40degC wash cycle no tabs no washing powder? I understand most cleaners will ruin the cloths and I suppose for the costs I could just buy new ones instead but seems an awful waste
  20. think i have the oil pressure sensor leak :(

    MY17 GT with 23k on the clock was looking at tidying some marks on the front of the car when I noticed a pool of dirty water / oil on the garage floor by the front passenger wheel (RHD) - had a look round (not got ramps) and it seems to be coming out at the oil filter area. Very thin fluid...
