Try adding a temporary earth to rule out the problem. I just ran a cable from the negative terminal to the engine hoist hook (cleaned it up with a wire wheel first) and since ive done that its been fine. (Need to put a permanent one in) Other thing to check is the exciter terminal on the...

Had the same problem with mine. Its a refurb from about 6 months ago. Checked the exciter earlier wasnt really corroded and voltage was getting there fine. Added a temporary earth to rule that out so will see. Think its a new motor/solonoid required. 2nd hand ones are cheap on ebay. Its in a...

Yeah ill get the POS up in the air tomorrow or Saturday and have a look. The relay was fine. if its not that then i guess ill get another starter and maybe fit it or get it fitted by someone else. Don't have the enthusiasm i had 5 years ago, plus the fact everything wet outside. Thanks for the...

Hi guys small problem with the trophy, where the starter motor is sometimes engaging other times just relay clicks once and does nothing. but if i hold it in the starter position it will sometimes kick in after a few seconds. Lazy solenoid or maybe corroded exciter wire? Its a refurbed unit...

i was going to say 15 pound christ. what a joke!

there isnt one, its get atmospheric from the hole its plugged into on the plenum

A bonnet

Dexron 2 atf. Cheapest stuff you can buy will be fine

Forgot to say check tyre pressure too maybe bad idle is an unrelated problem

If you were nearby id come have a look lol. ahh sure timing will be fine then! Do the TB yourself, very simple. screwdriver and 10mm socket brake cleaner and a toothbrush. Injectors again easy, take off fuel rail guard, 2 10mm nuts. then unplug injectors and set avo to 20ohms and record what...

Definitely got a problem at 22mpg So to recap, tb cleaned, new lambda, checked coolant temp sensor. You could check your injectors also with an avo they should read 14ish ohms. Perhaps one is faulty and chucking too much fuel in does it pull ok? timing could be out, unlikely probably...

Not thats its much help but I can confirm the pre cat HO2 sensor looks healthy and functioning as it should. How does it drive as apposed to idle and engine lghts fault codes to lead a clue. Check other things like engine coolant temp sensor also. check resistance with an avo when upto temp ill...

Yeah what harbinger said is correct. First thing id do Is check intake bits.

its on the wrong side for the gearbox but i guess it could have made its way there somehow. maybe they undid the engine mount. not sure not done a clutch on one of these. have to laugh at that! glad you found the problem before more serious damage happened

Check live data on o2 sensor. Revving on idle. You sure you dont have an air leak somewhere?

Yar amos is right, i believe the official way to do it though is to measure each one and work out the average from them, but cloth is easier.

Yar of course, tried melting the nyloc and all sorts prior, took about 20 or so impacts and it came loose though.

the worst bit about doing these on a driveway it the front shock topmount nut. had to buy an impact gun to get it off

I have lesjofors bmw 1 series bonnet struts on my trophy its a 5 min job and fit and work perfectly.

I did tell you cyl4 missfire! Hopefully new injector will fix best of luck

Maybe its leaking slightly from the pump? See if there's and deposits from around that area.

get it on diagnostics and look at the voltage, check my previous thread and you can see what it should look like - a heartbeat i did it on the driveway with ramps, about 30 mins because of that damn plug above the subframe. Expect a garage with a lift could do it in 15.

probably the above. if the light is on then the system is disabled, you dont need to wheelspin to tell you that.

People will be really disappointed when they bolt on a new tb and expect results. However quite often you notice something in your head so you may trick yourself

since the coilpack has been replaced ill omit that one. But likely to one of these Leads Injector ​spark plugs.

sounds like it seized itself stuck, should come off with enough persuasion on 2 bolts hold it in.

Any garage will fit a set of springs just go to your favourite local

Pretty sure ngk's are standard but fair doos! Sorry im kinda runnin out of ideas if you were near me id come have a gander you can always use spare parts too then helps massively lol

Chip FTW, i think he speaks for the masses. Just not the OCD freaks in here. Plus he knows mortal combat ;)

Just noticed you have champion plugs. Never heard bad things about them only super 4s but everyone recommends specifically sticking to NGKs.. Also check the MAP sensor value when the ignitions on, see if its reading roughly atmospheric.
