I had a closer look tonight removed the starter motor for inspection. The solenoid connection is a solder tab, I removed the broken bit of cable and made a new connection. The cable is now rerouted between the block and the starter motor. The cable I am using is rated at a higher temperature and as two layer of insulation. I will use the heat sleeve to protect the new cable when received. I may also get a much bigger sleeve the wrap the solenoid, however I am wondering if this will cause a issue with heat retention in the solenoid. If that sleeve is good I will use it to protect the cable from the alternator also. Jack

In fact Thermal velocity do some http://www.thermalvelocity.co.uk/Line-and-Hose-Protection/Extreme-Heat-Sleeve/p-114-484/ I should get it by the weekend Jack

The cable which cooked is the cable going to the solenoid of the starter motor. I was rerouted bewteen the starter motor and the engine but it had to get closer to the exhaust for the connection. I will check RS to see if they have something similar as your link Ian Jack

Hello All The exhaust of my 21 has cooked the cable going to the starter motor which makes startin the car a 2 man (or woman) job. I need to replace this cable. Is there such a thing a a cable rated to work at hight temperature? If not can your recomend a sleeve to help protect the cable from the radiated heat? Thank you Jack

Hi Peter Do you have a picture which would show what you mean? I don't recall seeing those tube you are talking about I think there is maybe some differences at the back between a 21 and a 7 chassis. Jack

OK cool thanks for that I can drop the plat form by 50mm easy. Do you know the size of the nuts and bolts required? Cheers Jack

Hello All On my 21, the Dedion tube has two fixing for the suspension, one under, and one in the middle of the tube The suspension is currently fitted to the "under the tube" fixing. With regards to the handling, what consequence would it have to the handling if I move the suspension to the "in the middle" fixing? Jack

Hello All My wheel nut are on average 3mm to long to fit behind the plastic cover for the 5 spoke wheel. It is safe to remove material on a wheel nut? Or should I try to get shorter wheel nut? Jack PS: does someone knows the thread size for a wheel nut on a 96 car?

Hello I think I had 00575 the engine is an AKE I asked my wife to play with the loud pedal ( those engine our loud), and I could here a slight hissing noise from somewhere, by the N75 there is a plastic T piece that was broken. I replace that tomorrow. I could move the rod by hand when the VNT was attached to the turbo, I undid the 2 bolt holding it and the rod moves freely. however when fitted back I cannot move it. how easily should it move? To check the N75, should i use this youtube vieo https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_1342673755&feature=iv&src_vid=J6b1R0k9BFE&v=mo6qC9PIuJU as a guide? Jack

I've remove the valve from its barcket and the rod goes up and down. However when the engine is runing I cannot see it moving Do you know if there is a fault code when the valve is not working? Jack
-
I have VCDS I just took the car for a quick spin after I change the MAF. I need to remove the valve to work the VTN, is that correct? Jack
-
its a 2003 2.5 Tdi V6 how do you the check the turbo vane actuator is working? I have done a scan and it could have been a air mass sensor issue I'll do an other scan and check if the fault appears Jack
