Sounds like a plan , thanks fellas

I eliminated brakes by upgrading to porka calipers - really expensive option !!

With kits you pay for the pleasure ,

I recently upgraded to 996 calipers and Mercedes 312 discs - total bill was around £600 including calliper adaptor and flexi lines and the always forgotten fluid. took about a day to fit and hour or so to turn down my hubs to accept the discs .

I Hope someone can shed some light for me on this one , under braking occasionally , when coming to a stop only, I hear a rhythmic clonk/tapping noise - I have ruled out front and rear brakes , front wheel bearings and loose driveshaft/cv bolts - I can't find any loose bodywork or the like either. I...

Considering your using the vw gearbox , I presume, whether the donor is 4wd matters not . It will be fine , if it's auto you will need to get a few other bits to convert to manual - flywheel etc. I replaced all tensioners and belts on top of head gaskets while I had the engine out - puts my mind at ...

We'll , yesterday I stripped the tank out , removed the breather system Compressed air through every hose and hole . checked the function of valves , stop when upside down- open when normal , so no problem there. Checked tank and no obvious amounts of crap I there , a few dust particles but that's i...

How did you diagnose a blocked breather ? I have removed the tank today , pulled all the breather hoses off and blown through them l I can't detect any obvious blockage. Pipes were arranged as per standard from Bentley . I have drained the tank and will clean the outside and inspect the inside tomor...

Yeah tank -> pump -> filter -> engine , couldn't make tank replicate the fuel flow stoppages today and pump that was dying yesterday is behaving today. Checked the breather hoses ! Too hard to see what's going on , need to drop the tank and replace the scabby old hoses . Can't find anywhere stocking...

Will have a gander in a bit

Ahh quick question , breathers being the expansion tank system ? Or the main fuel filler one ?

Interesting , didn't even think about breather issues , will try that today and see if Cavitation noise dissapears . Now I didn't change the breather system from the old diesel ones , perhaps I should have

Thanks guys much appreciated

We'll just made it back from Somerset , this journey killed 2 fuel pumps ! Bit of background , skip ahead for the main issues : Subaru EJ25 conversion from jx lump , new tank , pump , fuel lines , rjes kit etc. within 500 miles first fuel pump started making cavitating noises and eventually got real...

Went into Northampton DVLA last week and changed mine , i had a letter from Richard to state change and that included the engine number .. Guy on the desk specifically asked for it as well. Regarding insurance , i'm with Adrian flux and just phoned them up today and told them i had upgraded the engi...

But then again you wouldnt here it over the frigging noisey fuel pump! I found these on the ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270570529027?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 and solved my noisy as hell fuel pump issue , can only just hear it now. Drilled and tapped a chassis member...

Possibly input shaft bearing on its way out ? Makes sense if the only time the noise stops is when the clutch is disengaged

EJ25 pipes knocked up by pirtek for £160 and are spot on , no noise unless at full lock , imho it feels miles better than the power steering from the jx but then i think my pump was on its way out .
