Headers....

wrapping cuts down a hell of a lot of heat in the engine bay. better for all components
(and stops your wiring burning out and shorting out on your professionally fitted headers)
also keeps heat in which improves gas flow and performance
stops you burning your hands when you fiddle with your wires that are melting on your professionally fitted headers allegedly

Hmmmmm....might give it a go....any recommendations on a type that wont ignite

Wrap is for girls that have skirts on their cars ...........
Real cars go bare ......

with no O2 sensors

I fitted that 10 minutes ..... £ o cost.....



I might tax it again as not test drive it yet !

Is it thursday ..........

never heard of any catching fire, they smoke a bit for a few minutes but that's all

just be sure to wear gloves when you do them or you will have itching hands for days

no, angry trousers on standby only

I was boing to wrap mine but the twats wanted the car then kept it a month without doing anything to it then rammed my butt hole on the invoice..... Cheers .

I am not bitter just a shame i said anything to u lot .....lol

Rammed your butthole'.........hahaha...did they whack it in !!!!!

I will be wearing glasses next time I wrap my headers my eyes were sore for days last time

Well the old ones are off...not easy but not too bad...the last bolt at the back on the passenger side sheared off and I thought....BOLLOX....however when you compare the old to new it seems that this stud is not used ???? Result
I can understand why a garage would charge so much labour though......not that I'd pay it

Only a lot of work for you as you have not dont it before or got a lift and all the right tools to do it.

We had the same thing happen with J's 4th gen and was lucky we did not need to use that stud hole.

Ive got virtually all the tools...just not got a garage to work in..wonder why that stud breaks and the others are ok...maybe its common and thats why new headers dont use it ?

i hate headers ....

You hate paying to have them done

Whats the sensor on the drivers side block at the front...is it the oil pressure sensor ????
The passenger side water temp sensor needs replacing as I seem to have broken it...oops

oil pressure switch is at rear of engine on drivers side, could be knock sensor
we broke the water sensor doing headers on one of the cars too (well worth £1100 to save that isn't it Paul)

Figured out its the fan switch. So no biggy....new one on order

less than £1000?

Only if I fit it myself !!!!!!
