So should it be pulled in more or has something fallen out? I'll get onto superpro and get a new set

Was changeling the diff oil yesterday and noticed this gap in the drivers side bush for the diff ( correct me if its not the bush ). These photos are taken from on my back looking up at the diff. It's quite a significant gap, and looking across to the other side there's no gap at all, it's hard pressed into the hole. Is this normal? Or does it need fixing?

Hmm, injectors, the missus did l fill up with e10 because " it's said it's e10 comparable on the fuel cap..and it was cheap at the time!" So she said, so maybe it's because of pinging? I'll fill up with 98 again once it's empty, see if it stops. The noise isn't that loud, you can only hear it when you pop the bonnet.

Recently did a oil and filter change along with the turbo oil supply screen removeal and have noticed a very fast ticking noise, it almost sounds like a deisel If you get close enough. So could the noise be from the engine sucking air some where, maybe I didn't do a bolt up tight enough, but I was sure to loctite every thread and do things up tight. It does sound like its coming from inside something though. It is coming from around the area of the turbo oil filter. Here's a quick video. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj50/ash220985/A0D9C358-758D-4356-8E3E-7E5CB6777A0A-1448-000002C89E612079.mp4

Awsome thanks for the clarification, as for the red cable, it's more then likely the starter cable as suggested as I don't have any gauges in my car at all, no boost gauges or oil pressure gauges, the car is stock with no optional extras. I also tightened the hose clamps as they were a tad loose, just something to keep an eye on I suppose, just glad it was nothing major. And there aren't any rub marks on any of the 'loose hoses' so ill just let them be lol. Thanks again guys.

Just doing a service on my car and I noticed these hoses are sort of loose and flopping around, is it normal? Or should the be cable tied to something? Also I noticed another hose had hard white stuff around it and looked like it had been leaking as its dripped on what ever is below it, hear are some pics. The two hoses loose, there's a red one and a black one, what are they for? Closer look. And the hose that's leaking stuff, what's it from? Leaking onto another hose and the alternator I think. I've owned the car since 45k km and its now done 55k km, could the previous owner dodged something up here? That bit of hose with the hose clamps around it don't look factory standard. Cheers for any clarification.

So Edge 10w60 with a 30min warm up before giving it a squirt, or Edge 0w40 with oil cooler if your thrashing it for a long duration, what if you only boost off the line at a set of lights once in a blue moon, would Edge 0w40 be fine to use? And for everyday driving? Also, I ended up buying Transmax Z for the t56, I had to buy 2x4Lts bottle at $75 each as they didn't have any 1Lt or 2Lt bottle at any of the local ripco or superheap, so my question is, what sort of shelf life does an open bottle of this stuff last for, I do around 10k km a year in the car so I probably won't need to change it for 2 or so years.

Awesome thanks for the replies, I was going to do the engine oil, manual trans oil, and diff oil all at once, and was going to keep to the one brand of oil like Castrol, I did think of Penrite and Nulon too but I don't know how people rate it, there websites do recommend a heap of oils too.

Hey, I have a bf2 turbro and am looking to do a service, I looked on the Castrol website and they recommend Castrol Edge 0w40, and Castrol Magnatec 10w40, I also noticed I need 6.6Lt of oil, just wondering if it would be ok to mix 5Lts Castrol Edge 0w40 fully synthetic with 1.6Lts of Castrol Magnatec semi synthetic? I like the idea of the Magnatecs added protection on start up, but I'm unsure on mixing full syn with semi syn also the different thinkness.

So do you put wd40 in both ends we're the rubber hoses come off or just the end that has the electrical plug below it? Would it hurt to put it in both ends?

^^ some thing I would like to know about as well, were abouts exactly would the cracks be? I might take the heat shields off and have a look around
