Ah b****cks. I thought that might be the case about the lambada sensor but was praying once the throttle body was replaced the light would go out. I had a decat pipe on a while back for about 9 months and that light never came on.

For about a year now it has felt lumpy when the engine is cold. Sometimes it feels like I’m driving with the handbrake on. Once it warmed up it seemed to be fine. A few weeks back I was driving along and changed gear at about 4 or 5k rpm. The car lost power, the limp mode light came on and I...

It happened this morning whilst driving enthusiastically and no matter what gear I was in the car would not rev past 3k rpm. A warning light appeared just below the petrol warning light. I stopped the car and turned the engine over again. The light went off and normal service was restored. The...

A whining high pitched sound can be heard coming from the electronic throttle body when idle. When coasting along at say 40 in 4th gear the car slows down and feels like it labouring. I can also hear backfiring from the exhaust more frequent. I think the throttle may have had it. I've taken it...

Re: **show Es Your Engine Bay**

Thought as much. If it has a cat built into it and if it fits I can see 197 owners goin for the 182 manifold.

I assume its just like the 182 manifold. Or am I wrong? Would it give power gains like the 182 manifold would or would it be worse?

Yeah. I thought it would be.

Bingo! Would rather put a newer one in.

They are exactly the same yeah? Not like the stupid gearbox's...

Sorry I can't do it for you but I recon it'll look cack with a red lip.

Well I had 6 1ltr bottles and I put 5 in then put 0.1ltr of the 6th bottle. Its not even showing up on the old fashioned dipstick. I put a bit more oil in just in case as I spilt a bit.

Yeah. Nearly forgot to but I realised it was quite important. Yeah. The one with elf on it aye? :p

Just done a full engine oil change. Fitted a new filter too. Put 5.1 litres in and the dipstick and the trip computer both say empty. I went for a little drive and they still said the same. It looks as tho more oil came out than went in. It's fookin weird. Any chacne there could be an air pocket...

As above. Been running with the new gearbox for a week now and the car feels allot quicker. Are the ratios different in the ph1 box? I know the build quality was better. Maybe it's just becuase my last gearbox was buggered but I'm sure it's faster. Anyone else had a similar experience?
