The aerial...... christ i never thought of that one. Would the roof lining not be wet tho or does It miss it somehow

Ok......cts and thermo replaced with genuine stuff. Car gets up to about 88 / 90 or so quickly and stays there like a rock. As per previous thermo related threads, internal rubber was perished so i guess it was open all the time to a degree. Still no difference in running and despite my...

Right, today was the first time I had a normal drive in the car (school run on country roads and then into traffic on the motorway) So, bearing in mind it was about 1 degree here After the car was warmed, say 20 minutes of driving..........the coolant was showing as being 73 Sitting in...

would the car still go alright with a collapsed/blocked cat though? low down it is pish but when you get up the revs its away

lol..............suppose that is a fairly pragmatic approach Louis :)

Thoughts?

ok ok ok I haven't got to the CTS or thermo yet.............have been moving house but made an observation at the weekend that might have been touched on and not sure if relevant Between the storms, I was taking the littl'un to hockey practice..........was quite still and I had the window...

There is a wee pressure sensor in the PAS line at the front of the engine and from what I recall, it is supposed to raise the idle/revs when it senses loading on the steering pump........perhaps it isn't working? They do leak too so maybe worth an eyeball?

Hey @Mbeau could you pm me a price for one shipped to Belfast please?

Pretty sure that is just generic fin seal cut to size though no? I bought what I am sure is the same stuff and just cut it to fit for £5 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vertical-Fin-Boot-Seal-30mmx-15mm-Rubber-EDGE-TRIM-Door-Bonnet/121638887318?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Thanks Martin, fair point. It does occur to me that this TB did have a *moment* in the past with me pressure washing the engine. It had a hissy fit then but fixed itself. Fair to assume that water may have got in and be causing havoc now perhaps. On that note, anyone have a known good tb for...

I haven't buddy. Do you think the 50-72 value from torque (if correct) is a bit amiss?

Update. Drove the return 120 mile leg this morning and the car didn't miss a beat. Averaged a neat 34.9mpg rolling at motorway speeds. Popped on Torque with the OBD connector to see if i could capture what might be throwing the rear O2 error that keeps cropping up but sods law, it didn't. A...

Hey @Martin_172 that seems like a sensible approach. Ok, quick tidbit. Car has this weekend taken me around 120 miles on a trip to meet the fam without any issue. Returned a tidy 35 mpg although plenty of huge bangs and lots of bogging down so that is likely not accurate. Also, went to start...

No worries bud, I do appreciate the help that you (and others) have offered. Really :) J
