Have Pm'd cliffo. It states the brass jets are missing. I have here a manifold with the brass jets fitted but for the life of me can't remember what size engine it came off. What size jets would I need for the 3lt?

That end of the jets is (normally) "open"... It's the other end that you drill out to size ;)

Oh... And you have a message. I have spoken with the supplier and the PM explains in detail :y

Right guys.

I have been offered the following. A Stag 300 ISA system complete with 80 litre tank for 750. Then I have to fit it myself and I can then return to supplier with a dry system and he will Cert, register and do the complete set up for 200. This brings it back in line with what I wanted to spend. So questions. Is this a good kit? Is the cert and set up fee fair? If I fit this are you lot only gonna help if I wear a Mankini?  :-[ :-[

Forgot to ask doing it this way I get full support and warranty

Right, £200 seems a lot for inspection and registration but that depends how good a job they will do with the setup ;)

You need to check what Vaporiser/Reducer and which injectors they supply too.

As for the cost... I think it's all a bit more than I would expect to pay but if you are happy with it then that is all that matters ;)

if its up to scratch, yes. Although there is no certificate as such these days. You get a receipt, and the car reg is entered onto a database. Your insurer then looks up your reg on said database as proof of "certification" if you see what I mean. ;)

Should add, last time I was there they charge £50 an hour, and the examination took two hours. This unclouded under car checks of fuel lines and routing, make sure it outboard of the rear subframe, and at least 12 inches from a heat source, or fit heat shield which hasn't been needed yet afaik. Plus they plug in tech 2 to check fuel trims, examine and note tank age size and make, that injectors and vap are solidly mounted.
 They will not allow short cuts, and I don't blame them, and that's why I use them.

But as with any tester, you'll need to teach an understanding with them. Firstly that you are prepared to heed their advice, make changes, and re present when rectified if needed. They will also take the piss a bit if they feel your doing the same and trying to pull the wool over their eyes.
 They also want to see that you understand the install to an extent, so it's best not to mess about.

Thanks Chris. Been down to a dealer today. He had a Omega they had done. He let me have a good look over it. He's happy to do cert and reg, also he's going to do the set up etc. Waiting for confirmed prices now.
