Just a little update, car hasn't been running properly lately, lumpy idle, hesitation at 2500rpm and crap fuel consumption
Simon (JGM) came round yesterday and it seems my lambda sensor has packed up, Simon did have a spare sensor but unfortunately it was the wrong one For a laugh i phoned Subaru and they wanted £242.45  , on the advice of Simon i got in contact with http://www.lambdasensor.com/ and they are sending me one for the grand total of £69 inc delivery

Be careful there Granby!!!!!
Remember that you are a Pilot Officer, and Mr X is in fact "CAPTAIN X", who holds the rank of, well er, CAPTAIN. And he could have you for insubordination and rudery grade 5, no less! Also he has his inflatable trousers remember, and you don't want to get on the wrong side of those!! -------------------------------- Brought to you by the "Bureau of Helpful Hints on Avoiding Insubordination and the Like". There are no fees for this service.

I just had to post as it was the 1000th viewing of this thread. And it isd a bloody good one.
On a random (ish) topic. Ian, I only found out today that the orignal British Forces code name for the original Gulf War was "Operation Granby". Is that where the name comes from? Steve

I think we should organise an "Operation Granby", and carry it out in the road you used to live in. It might be quite noisy!

Me and Martyn don't actually know how to change thread titles.
 We had a visit from the "spelling Police" last night to tell us how we had mis-spelt Nurburgring. But we can't seem to change the titles. There is however a potentially massive op coming up?

Well it seems we may have finally sorted out the running issues I've had with the car lately, Simon (JGM) came round yesterday to switch the lambda sensor back on after i changed it
When we were driving he noticed that it was reading lean all the time (was reading rich last time) and he didn't want to leave it like that as the ECU would probably want to chuck in a load of fuel to compensate After a bit of head scratching i suggested could the old CEL fix that was fitted by Xtreme Scoobies a few years back when i first had a decat be the problem as this was a resistor across 2 of the wires leading to the ECU Simon removed the resistor and rejoined the wires and away we went again and now the lambda sensor was changing from rich to lean to rich etc as it should be The car now drives a lot better and now does actually idle without any hunting so fingers crossed it's all sorted I would like to say a big thank you to Simon for his patience in dealing with this issue and hopefully the next time i see you will be for a bit more power (meths)

Hmmmmm !!
The 555 Wagon Squadron Legal Eagles have agreed to take on the case of Pilot Officer "Stealthy" Mitchell v. Captain X. The issue for the prosecution being that, although outranked by Captain X (known as Mr X for these purposes, but we all know who he really is), Pilot Officer Mitchell is entitled to "severe personal freedom" in the choice of thread titles, when communicating with all ranks equivalent and above. The Defence will argue that, because this thread could be read by more lowly members of the Squadron, such as members of the Tactical Mayhem Team, that the above case for the prosecution does not apply. Air Vice Marshall Sir Compostable Punnet will hear both sides of the case tomorrow. Reporters from the 555 Wagon Squadron Press Office will be on hand to sensationalise the case as required. We understand that Fl Lt Cynthia Sharpley will be on hand to faint in the public gallery as any pre-determined verdict is read out.

OK a bit of a update, went to Surrey rolling road today to have a tweak by Simon (JGM), since the last time i was there I've put in new spark plugs and a new fuel pump (walbro hi flow) which seemed to have cured a problem i had that i thought was down to the Simtek, last time it was remapped it made 434bhp & 380ft lbs
This time we got 444bhp & 385ft lbs on just V power but with a 15% methanol mix with V power it went up to 470bhp & 415ft lbs at 1.7 bar I would like to say a big thank you to Simon for his mapping skills and putting up with all my emails over the last couple of months New fuel pump against the old walbro 255lt pump

That pump looks a monster and should improve your fuel comsumption no end. For a long distance mission, you may need drop tanks.

Just a little update, with the APS intercooler you can't use the standard front towing eye, wasn't really too worried about it but after the track day at Brands and the marshals kept asking me about it i finally decided to get it sorted
Thanks to Alyn at AS Performance for delivering it in super quick time (and at a good price), all ready for 30-130 now

neat idea, was just chatting to Dukeboy about the same thing this afternoon as he's running a front mount without towing eye as well.
looks easy to tuck away behind the fog cover when not needed

From No1 Lab to our favourite pilot:
This is very sad news. The Boffins in No 1 Lab were all weeping today when they heard the news, especially as you were in the very early stages of the mission!! All experiments have been put on hold as a mark of respect. Our "tests" have confirmed that the towing strap was in no way a supporting factor in your mishap, and we know that your superb wagon will rise again to feature in the annals of Squadron history. We look forward to it's return to operational status!! Posted on behalf of all the Boffins!!

Maybe a long shot but does anyone have a bore scope that they could lend me (or do it for me so they know what they are looking at) so i can see what damage has been done to my engine before i decide what to do next
Thanks Ian

Got my spark plugs back from NGK today after they examined them to find out why one should break up
There conclusions were that it was caused by severe overheating and that is was down to abnormal combustion Abnormal Combustion Abnormal combustion reasons include ignition timing related problems, oil entering the combustion chamber, leaking fuel injector or spray pattern etc

Or is it just the spark plug.? I supose the 6,000,000 $ question is: any ideas what caused this?

I know nothing about engines and mechanics.
Can the one piston not be replaced and the cylinder be rebored if nesesary? Presumably its not as easy as that.? Sorry its bad news Granby.
