I've got hands like shovels though, looked like I'd been self harming the next day haha

Nah the BLT engine had some hoses connected to the bit that's on the manifold.

Does yours have the egr and ASV separate then I take it?

 

[FR_MATT]

The best way I found to get at the bolt was underneath with my hands up in front of the subframe and looking from the rear of the subframe what I was doing lol

Hands have just healed from cleaning the intake manifold haha

 

[phillpotts92]

Don't know haha what doe the asv look like?

 

[phillpotts92]

This is what I mean :

 

[FR_MATT]

That's the egr cooler and the pipes are part of the coolant system

The ASV is the bit attached to the EGR with the butterfly valve inside and electrical connection

 

[phillpotts92]

Yea so you physically can't block the valve there on the BLT

You could put the blank in that join with the x on you can see (its hard to bend the pipes there if you need a bigger gap but is possible). It's where my reducing gasket is

 

[phillpotts92]

Yea I suppose. I'll do that If it pops again which I highly doubt it lol

 

[phillpotts92]

Hmmm do I get the roof wrapped Wednesday? I have just about the funds to do it.

Hmm decision to be broke till Friday and get an earbashing off the misses or go ahead and get it done?! It's only £120 soooooo hmmmmm lol

 

[Dozer360]

wrap the roof yourself. you will save ££ and get the buzz of diy modding

 

[phillpotts92]

Can't do it mate. Well I can but not make it look like glass like they do, I don't like Bodged!

 

[damon6uk]

wish i could do my roof
or tints at that

 

[BeezaDave]

Tell the missus you cheated on her, give it a minute to sink in. Then say you're only messing. She'll be so relieved/pissed off she won't care about the roof wrap. Probably be the latter though.

I take no responsibility for lack of girlfriend which may result from this advice

 

[phillpotts92]

Yea not a good idea Dave, my misses punches like a bloke. My mate and I recently let her punch us in the jaw and tbf she almost knocked me out and I ain't small haha. The knocked my mate back and he fell on the sofa lmao. He was shocked, me on the other hand was not haha I've seen that fist a few too many times haha.

Also Danny I'd love to do mine too and my tints........... NOT I've had both my cars done now hahahaaaaaa. Also anyone fancy photoshopping it for me would be a leg end.

its easy to do, as long as you don't the the 50p crap from eBay.
Proper stuff will look amazing, all you need is a clean surface, some vinyl and a heat gun/misses hair dryer.
and if you think it looks bad just pull it back and start again.

loads of vids on youtube how to do it if you need and instructions.

 

[phillpotts92]

Lol I know how to vinyl I just wouldn't be able to do it as you need somewhere indoors and that's something I don't have.
