I have done an engine swap DG for DG, my original engine only had the one oil pressure switch, the new one has the 2. The oil light and buzzer come on now just before 2000 revs. Am I right in thinking I need to alter some wiring to accommodate this extra switch?

Re: exhaust silencer ideas.

That's interesting thanks for the heads up on that, I still haven't sorted the exhaust, so I will get in touch and see if they do just the silencer. Kevin.

exhaust silencer ideas.

Hi there, i have acquired a replacement 1.9 wbx engine fitted with a JK stainless system, minus a silencer, just found out they don't sell the silencer separately :( . Its a push on, not a flange mount. The pipe is about 45mm dia, just wondering if any body has any ingenious ideas, motorcycle maybe?...

Re: replacing power steering pipes.
