Quote from: L18M;714914Went for a run today and got to point B but didnt make it back to point A on its own steam. FC overheated and started peeing out water, which contained oil, a lot of oil! so seems a seal / gasket has gone and oil is contaminating the cooling system.

NOT A HAPPY BUNNY!!

Liam,

Why not try contacting me as i fear that members of this club are only getting one half of the picture from your side and this, as we have seen before, leads to instant banter and bad mounting when others are unaware of all the twists and turns in the story. You Have my numbers and two email addresses for me. You could always let me know what the issues are so we can work out a resolve.

I can\'t solve a problem if i don\'t know about it.

Dude can\'t tuner 1 get anything right? I take it he will honour any warranty on the engine. Hopefully he will let you take it somewhere else to be fixed.

Of course the warrenty provided to liam from the build will be honoured as per our agreement when he collected the car.

To be fair, Liam didn\'t slag you off or put any derisory comments, he just posted \'aaah, it\'s died\' basically meaning he\'ll get in contact with you.

Hope it isn\'t the engine mate, and it\'s sorted again asap.

Fair comment. If my earlier post was unjust then I am sorry. But you have to admit there has been one problem after another with this car build. Hopefully this will be a minor problem for both you and Liam.

James, I did text you this morning / afternoon once i found the problem. also on friday when i had the problem i did call you 1st thing to let you know, ok well 2nd thing after calling the recovery truck.

will talk to you tomorrow about this.
i did not intend to seem for this to be bad mouthing in any way, just stating the fact that something is wrong an i am disheartened about it.

McCARTHY · September 06, 2010, 07:37:28 AM

:3Confused

Guys as i said i know where these threads can lead nothing more. Was just a observation from prior events.

Liam,
Yes we spoke about the trailer company damaging the skirt and the fact that you had very high pressure system. We\'ll chat later today to see the best way forward.

L18M · September 06, 2010, 11:19:44 PM

Dave: the turbo is the one i got from pete and is oil cooled only.

car is going back to tuner to investigate problem.

Not that then - oil/water mixing isn\'t a good sign then - aren\'t many places where they can mix...

L18M · September 06, 2010, 11:39:41 PM

just saw your post on SiH\'s thread, maybe the lim is on wonky or a gasket there is gone rather than the engine itself.

oh well, was fun whilst it lasted even if it was driven at under 3k rpm off boost.

pdtaylor18 · September 16, 2010, 01:03:54 PM

I will have a light cover in white you can have for free but may be another week or so til you can have it as i am away from home. These are really hopefully just small issues for you and once ironed out you will once again enjoy your car without the fear of something going wrong.

L18M · September 16, 2010, 05:50:47 PM

Thanks for the offer pete, very generous as always :Thumbs-up
james said he will replace my missing one as when he fitted it, it was not fitted tight enough so he will replace it.

I wouldnt say no to a replacement car if you\'re offering :rollin

m1tch · September 16, 2010, 07:16:19 PM

quick question on your engine, what brand new parts did you use in the end?

L18M · September 16, 2010, 11:19:22 PM

good question. not sure what brand seals etc McCarthy used.
i asked for fd corner seals but not even sure if he did or not.
right now i dont really care and want a healthy working fc =/

HaywardRotary · September 17, 2010, 09:16:20 AM

FD and FC corner seals are the same.
The springs are stronger in the FD though.
