YO880: Your thread was very handy to me. I removed the GRID for a month, but my problems still occured. I wired it back in myself and soldered all the connections in. It's definately in correctly. Yeah 50/50 is dodgey - The problems started when I set it to 50/50.

Alan: I'll post later today when I ring ICE.

Ok, Seems that some of my problems are caused by my tire sizes. I knew that the tyres had to be the same size front and rear, but my importer assured me that this was ok with the rim and tyre combination he sold me. (Bastard)

ICE put same profile tyres on front and back which has stopped my movement in the rear when I take corners hard. The HICAS light is still on, so they are inverstigating furthur.

My AIR BAG light and ABS light haven't come on for about two weeks after I found a dodgey earth in the engine bay. Thanks heaps to who ever posted that Idea.

Will post more when ICE get back to me.

Sorta, Managed to stop the rear end moving around, with different rim / tyre combo. But still dunno why HICAS light is always on. I'm contacting other service people to see if anyone has the electronic device that plugs into the comupter and tells you exactly whats wrong with your baby. I have the car back from ICE now thou. They had too much work on to look furthur into it.

Will keep you in mind when I solve this problem.... if ever....

Update. If anyone ever gets the Airbag and ABS lights coming on and their battery is slowly looking chage and releasing acid into the air giving a choking smell from the boot. You might just have the same prblem as I did.

Hook up a volt meter to your battery and you will see that the battery is being overcharged when these lights come on. Hence you have a faulty voltage regulator and need to get your altinator reconditioned. Mine cost $200 for fully reco.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
