    finally found the cause of my noisy engine. mechanic who had it on a ramp said the egr valve pipe was split and needs a new one putting on. has anyone else had this problem and is it an easy/cheap fix for sopmeone with a bad back and a bag of spanners to do? also would the dealers have a pipe only ? thanks forr any help ps the mechanic was looking up through underneath of car on drivers side at rear of engine

    hi, me again. the sound has returned. i took out the spark plugs and they all looked the same. all ok. i checked the leads and they too looked ok. revving it at stand still out of gear it sounds as though there is a hole in the exaust on drivers side in the down pipe area. is it possible to get a hole there? would the spark plugs being ok mean its not pinking etc and could be a hole? its still fast accelerating and gears change smoothly. please help!!

    thanks for all your replies. before i took plugs out etc i bought some forte treatment off ebay and put it in with half a tank of esso 95 ron. within 25 miles the engine is back to sounding how it was!!! only hope it lasts. could it have been something sticking perhaps?

    Thanks for replying. I did put some cheapo Asda petrol in it but I think it's all gone as I put 97 ron in when it got low. It only happens when I accelerate, it is quiet otherwise. Normally I use Esso / Shell 95 ron

    my ls 400 has just started "pinking" in the past few days. it does it seconds after starting while revving/accellerating so i dont think its because of a hot engine. outside temp is 7/10 deg. i was putting 95 ron petrol in it and occasionally some redex. anyone any clues? 136000 on clock fsh etc plus new kwik fit free alternator!

  18. chunkz

    trouble is im utterly screwed for getting to work. i live basically in the middle of no where in north scotland there are some steel pipes above the alternator. on the left of engine is the power steering resovoir. would an 80 amp unit i saw on flea bay be usefull. its a damn siught cheaper and would have to fit it myself i suppose. i dont have any mods on car except a shiny new stereo so hopefully current drain wont be too bad? HELP!!! its a 1995 n reg
  25. chunkz
    quick fit want £800 to fit it. thats over half what i bought the car for!
