An alternator is way cheaper than replacing the dash pcb:o

A picture would be handy to see what you’re talking about

The new door cards are to thick and the new material,it causes the poppers to pop out

Check the heater plug temp sensor is operating correctly

Took a while but here's a link to some pictures of the areas requiring welding.

Thanks
 

Can’t view imgur in the uk anymore:(

Pretty sure I have a seat base cover in that material, can have a look

Doesn’t sound like brake fade , sounds like the brakes aren’t very good , either they need bedding in if they’re new or replacing if worn or knackered

You can do that but you may not need to if they fit under the hub caps

Unlikely that the mild steel plug is welds to
The ally gearbox case, more likely they just welded a bolt into it, undoing it is the only way to find out

Transit thread may be to coarse , try a t25 nut before fitting them

My snorkel pipe had collapsed inside

pull the air filter out to see if boost pressure increases, if you've rebuilt the injectors and have a worn pump you may need to tweak the fueling down a little on the pump

Sounds tedious, all the manufacturers seem
To still use wax oil based products, my nearly new Audi has it so I’ll stick with that stuff

Any pictures or more details? Price of engine replacement is likely to outweigh the increase in value

you wont be able to set them unless you have specialist gear and a stack of spare shims, you can check them easily enough

Thanks for the replies.  I guess I should not try to replace it myself. ;P And that the head gasket should be replaced as well. Since i can`t use the car. Maybe it would be more easy to just remove the whole engine, and deliver it to a engine repair shop. Hmm. How would removing the engine be easie...
