No spare key and not had it plugged in mate. Ive had 3.5years of 100% reliability because I havent touched it. I fit a steering wheel and the cars wants to die :(

Yeah thats what I thought. Seems different to the previous problem I had mentioned at the start of this thread. What would cause the immoboliser to stay on, and then suddenly work?

This is the one where the car wasnt doinng anything when I was turning the key. Then it started turning over.. (next vid) Shortly after it fired up and was all normal.

I didnt even see that mate! I will definitely give it a go. Risked it and went to the gym, and luckily it started fine on return too. If the alternator was dead then wouldnt my battery be completely flat? Looking over the videos I dont think the immoboliser light went out, but why would it...

How could it short? Would have to be alot of movement wouldnt there? I think the immobilser went out. Ive got a vid but no idea how to upload!

Hasnt been driven since Sunday, when all was fine. Just went to go to the gym, key in, no lights on dash, nothing. Key out, key back in, and yay it was turning over trying to start but it would just stop trying, not like it was struggling, it would just stop turning over suddenly. Looked at...

Personally i'd say its too nice to butcher!

That's why Ive just ordered a scenic shifter with yanoo 3.0!

After about 5 mins it should be smooth with no loud ticks etc. Just check for history of cam belt and dephaser, and usual car checks. £3-400 for a set of turns with half decent tyres. +1 for a snappy wheel.

@Cub.

Engine Dynamics is probably closest for you then mate. Or come down to lovely Portsmouth haha!

Ive just had mine done by snappy. I got a spare wheel from here which can be had for £20, (so you can sell on your snappy if you sell the car and put old one back on). Loads of guides on here how to do fit it. I (just about) managed it and im properly mechanically inept...

Id personally leave it another year, as then it is properly 'due'. I'd have the dephaser done for the sake of £100. Where in the south east are you? Rentech who I use in Portsmouth charge just over £600 all in iirc.

Yep. Id say I sprayed every other inch of the entire car haha.

Cant believe I used about 250ml on my clio (lite) 😧

I just risked it, and hoped I didnt crash. I was a good 3hrs from home (Portsmouth to Bedford), but probably would have did the above.

Ta mate. Not entirely sure, painted by Sprayshack. It's like a silver/anthracite but can look purple in some angles.

Mine after fitting the MarcR battery cover and fatty induction.

Yeah not as a shampoo, just to strip old waxes etc and to start a fresh.

(Fairy liquid)

I had a similar haze when i used too much bouncers. I just let it slowly wear away.

Just put a small order in with that discount code with Wowo. They have the smallest selection of stuff ever though!

My car broke down because I didnt connect by battery properly haha!

Where could I get a bracket?

How will the above work? My induction is slightly unstable.

Looked at these the other day, and was shocked to see how well (bad for me) they're holding their value! Crazy money :(

I saw this being done when I went down with a mate to Jamsport to get his Fiesta ST turbo'd, must be 3ish years ago now? Lovely car!

Awesome AG. That isnt the one which Jamsport charged is it? Straight swap..?

Fitted my snappy steering wheel, straight this time..

Lovely. How is goodwood as a track day?
