    During training I noticed control braking are strong at over 30 KPH when the wheel rotates around a full circle in both directions just refuses to halt the vehicle, there is almost a sense of ABS stopping me completely braking and only at the speed drops below 23 KMH full containment. Is it...

    Can i only change the dephaser? or a whole timing job's needed?

    Thanks diagro, i'll make sure. Typhoon- u won't belive the prices here. Just a quick example: Pair of genuine front shocks for the ph1: 600 pounds. Crankshaft pulley: 300 pounds. List goes on... Buying it in the uk and shipping oversees will cost me roughly half of what it would cost here.

    Can i only change the dephaser? or a whole timing job's needed?

    Can i only change the dephaser? or a whole timing job's needed?

    Hi, a year ago i changed the timing belt and tensioner on my ph1, but being an Idiot i neglected the dephaser. no the car is "dieselish" at low rpm - and i think the dephaser's life is coming to an end. Can the dephaser be changed on it's own? do you need the locking tools? is it a full on...

    trying this again: i think i have a bad earth problem somewhere - as i hold my window up buttons, while window is already up, the coolant temp gauge is starting to climb, if the car is running it will go up 2 dots, if not, it will go up almost all the way. also, my trip computer shows weird fuel...
