Lol you are one cheeky kent mate i swear i am going to wreck you.

But yes its from the exhaust manifold, i got other 3 out and thought this one was out got all excited and celebrated just soaked it in some more WD40 overnight to make it come out smooth but it snapped in half! I tried grips and grinding the sides off but they no want to come off.

Man these studs is killing me i thought i had this one but it decided to snap

as said above call the thread guy, i have used him heaps of times for manifold studs, stipped threads you name it, he comes to your house and he does good prices.

Thanks for all you guys help good to know everyone here to help :)

My mate is back and said he will weld the nut on for me and hopefully it doesnt snap again when i undo it!

Otherwise plan b is to weld a washer (smaller hole than the stud) on the remaining bit of stud, then weld a nut onto that and try again

Otherwise Thread guy or Mr. Zebra and money/beer/love ?

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
