Sounds like we may have stumbled on to something here.

I think so too.

Let's see tomorrow at , my dad said it could be something simple as spark plugs

Those spark plugs are fugged!

Someone just confirm that NLP100290 is the p/n for the spark plugs.

Thanks

Always listen to your dad ....

Always right in the end , never can get one on him haha

Yeah, they're the right plugs.

Spain is a joke!

35 euros for 1 spark plug! Another order from the UK by the looks of it.... Which brand should i be going for?

NGK are good, 35 Euros !! that's fierce, was that from the Spanish equivalent of a motor factor ?.

Halfords wanna be ... Thanks for the link

35 Euros = £29, was that for 6, or each !!!!

That's correct , Called the Car center in Gibraltar .. £20.00 per spark plug!

£120.00 for 6 spark plugs lol!

Splutter :crazy:

Is spark plug theft a big issue in Spain :clap:

Landrover price for genuine kv6 plugs over here is over £12 each

Where are the plugs that were in engine when i sent it over?

In the engine Zred , havent removed them until now

That's not your problem mate. I ran that car for a week with no issues before removing the engine.

Thoughts of what i could be from looking at my video?

Are they not the ones in the photos a couple of pages back?

If so it looks like all this mis-starting has goosed them.

Yes there the spark plugs which came with the engine.I'll get the plugs and go from there.

Ordered the plugs from ebay , £30 including shipping...

Well i think i destroyed the crank sensor when trying to remove it , bloody thing was stuck really good when i got it out i could see the wires going into the sensor where half cut :/

Getting P0335 and no spark so I've ordered a new one at the cost of £94 eeekkkk..

When will this end lol

:yikes:

When mine went it cost me a tenner 2nd hand ....

Only one i could find on ebay , i contacted every guy breaking a 180 on ebay and there all gone ...

I did order one 3 weeks ago for £30 but the guy said it had been sent , i waited 2 weeks then opened a paypal dispute .. his answer was he sent it to the wrong address...

I feel for you pal .... nightmare. :console:

That reminds me , Your lights are finally being collected on Thursday. Going via DHL so should be quick

PM you the tracking once its gone.

No worries - send me your address and I'll send the vents off anyway - they are just sitting in the shed boxed anyway ....

One thing I forgot to mention , what would cause the rad and air con fans to spin to 100% after cranking ?

I asked that too and it turned out to be a dead battery causes them to do that.
One new Bosch S5 later and it fired up after a good cranking.

Just got a brand new battery which I've been using in my astra for 2-3 weeks. It only happened two or three times , after that the fans wouldn't spin after cranking... Strange

Flat battery.

Its not a flat battery , volts 12.70 , ran in my astra for weeks so it cant be the battery. I can crank the car tons of times before the battery drains..

Most likely it was just a random thing in your case, although a flat battery will trip the fans on.

Does anyone know the measurement of the air filter , received one in the post but it's a lot smaller than the plastic holder..

Another note , I have 6 new plugs , cam sensor and crank sensor , fuel filter.. If I fails to start this time I will call out a mechanic I know..

Ah, the wrong air filter sketch, it should be approx 372mm x 115mm x 42mm.

Right :/

Don't know why companies state it fits MG ZS 180 2.5 when its incorrect size.

Seems to be a common thing, there was a similar post on another forum recently, they seem to send a filter for k4 engines.
