Magnecor leads I've tested have been at the low end of the resistance scale and could be 2-3 times longer and still be within spec from what I recall.

In fact, some pattern leads were about 3x the resistance already, at the same length.

Plot twist:

Carl is Mr Dentist.

And this is all a ploy to get his good reviews in before deleting the 1* review he left himself.

I know all his tricks, you see...

Sounds more like hot start issues.

Well, about 3000x more likely than flooding.

They really don't run rich enough at idle to flood. Stoich is literally the opposite of rich.

A customer of mine used to have an E63 before I knew anything about them. I remember being in it with about 3-4 (very much full-size) adults and being very confused about the acceleration. Wonderful thing it was.

The only thing I can think of to rival it would be the new turbo hybrid Panamera.

Sorry sweetie but it'll have been so long ago, it may not be the same ones.

But for reference, the ones that fit Blue Print filters and some others are:
S1: 64mm AF
R3: 67mm AF

I've found that the pliers and the 3-pronged claw jobbers about as useless as bewbs on a nun.

The 14-flute caps are the best thing you can buy, period.

As above, coil springs are measured in linear movement in relation to load... whereas ARBs are measured in angular movement in relation to load. It's like trying to compare how hot the sun is compared to how many Tuesdays your birthday falls on. You could try and get a figure of what spring stiffnes...

Without hearing what it sounds like or seeing the comp test results, we could only hope to begin speculating. It could be a number of different things at this point. Cataclean, while it may do some things, isn't really a 'cure' for much. A £15 bottle of something can only be expected to do as much a...

The "Great White" of loan sharks.

They'll make a film about me one day and cast Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead.

Nah, I explicitly stated that his creme eggs are collateral, so this ensured I got paid in a timely manner.

Payday problems so I lent him a 5er.

Only 2,927% interest, which is half what Wonga offers.

The incoming No-Deal Brexit has hit Ranjan-Air severely.

Oh yeah, fantastic day really. So much more seat time compared to Santa Pod. Sweaty man in a box doing free tyre changes also *Nigel suddenly becomes DriftKing* Only sadtiems was Bryn breaking a coolant blanking cap on the cylinder head, though it was a nice excuse to get hands dirty and sort it. Bu...

Lovely day for a spot of tyre smoking.

PSA: tyres that keep throwing cords off are about to pop and will render the car undriveable until that time:

Easiest way I've found is to install a fuse tap in the cabin fuse box.

Then hook that up either to the camera or via a [12v -> 5v] USB step-down unit.

Does it state anywhere on any paperwork that it's sold as seen?

Even so, if a garage has sold it then you have 30 days or whatever. Don't just sit and take getting shafted.

I'll be there.

Maybe come say hi.

Upper hose on the thermostat is 44mm OD.
Lower hose going to the engine is 46mm OD.

I can't quite get to the rad so these are more on the engine side, but should be close enough for ball park.

Imho jubilee clips are junk, OEM style spring hose clamps are de wae.

To be honest it could be a number of things but unless you give us plenty more information, it will just be somewhat educated shots in the dark.

Your best bet is to get it in the hands of someone who knows what they're looking at and check the simple/likely things first to rule them out.

Engine rebuild possibly.

Be very careful spending money on parts until it gets a proper diagnosis.

Eeeee no I'd done some of the work on that car, sad to see it parted out

I do believe the engine is a half bridge, but I could be wrong!

Flywheel should be a Racing Beat item, too.
Clutch should be fairly fresh as it's probably the one I fitted a couple of years ago.

M6 x 1.0mm

They can last for a long time but equally some variations of them last a disappointingly short time, less than 10,000 miles sometimes unfortunately.

The main bearings don't control any thrust forces.
That's entirely the job of the needle bearings in the front stack.
