I could meet you lot there, but will have to leave my house around 5 lol. I dunno, you sort yourselves out and il let you know closer to the time where i can meet you all along the way :) if worse comes to worse il meet you there. Im 100000% in though. Sounds good!
Looking forward to this. Are we going to be meeting somewhere beforehand and then driving in together? As i think im like the only person coming who isnt from Kent lol. Hate arriving at things like this alone -.-
Is your car a sport or non sport? Did you fix this? I cleaned out my throttle body and it improved drive ability which is one issue I had, but mines doing the exact same as what you described. Let me know if you fix it please and what you did!
Well finished it all a while ago and have tested it a few times. Feels massively more responsive now and I've driven it bloody hard twice now (obviously once warm!) , so I feel that throttle body issue is fixed as I couldn't make that same light come on! Only issue now is the initial Starting...
Ate there any special tools required to do the job? He said to use carb cleaner so currently walking to halfrauds to get some. Then il be doing the job
Throttle body apparently. That's what's failing. Bloke said to clean it all up and try driving it again and if the same light comes on he'll come plug it in again for free. Where do I find that?! Lol
Because the The other night my car went into limp home mode and broke down twice with the electrical light coming on on the dash. I was wanting to see the condition of the cables and this 'box' knowing that its a common fault. Just trying to eliminate causes for it happening really. Started it...
Some of those cables have always had a little bit of electrical tape on since I've owned the car. I've wrapped more round them. Is it best to just completely cover it all in tape? And that makes sense as to why I can't find it ;p lol
That's the top of my engine, towards the back. That's where I'm looking around. Sorry if I'm being thick but it's hard to find something when you've no idea what it is lol.
Thanks for the help so far everyone!
Trying my best to find it but having little luck lol. Is it big? I'm assuming its difficult to get to? Il have a read through that post quoted above thankyou
No? It's a common fault with this engine apparently. Goes over the cables which go into the ecu to 'protect' them. But in turn comes loose and chews through them, causing the car to go into limp home mode and cut out which mine starting doing day before yesterday - which was great fun btw.

Would be nice to be able to meet somebody beforehand to convoy with. Il be coming from Guildford. Let me know if we can meet somewhere to arrive together!
:)
Banksy Tunnel - London
We could always give the tunnel a miss if people are worried and go to that underground roundabout? That could be quite cool and isn't far away.
Also, I'm in. :)

Recieved 2 pairs off of a member on here for £2.50 delivered, which is cheap as chips and they look like this.
Lets hope they last longer then 20 minutes this time!
This!
I noticed on the back of a cars reflection my lights weren't as bright after my sub cut out :S maybe that shorted them? I've no idea why it cut out and when I turned the car back on it was working fine. Does that sound right?
Looks amazing that does! How much do you think you'd be looking at selling it for come end of summer time? Il be looking for a ff182 around that time and that is an extremely nice example :p
All different kinds of cars tbh, he has a few lol. I've had somebody off of here email me and sell me some for £2.50, for 2 sets. Can't really complain at that so hopefully they'll be good!
Well my mate buys them from eBay for like £5 for 2 sets (so cheap they are) but he's had them going in his cars for years. Just odd really. I'm heading to halfords today so il have a look for them. Got any pictures of them at all?
Thanks :)
So a mate gave me some led sidelights which I fitted and they looked great!
Then 2 hours later they both went out and looked like this.
Why?! His last for AGES in all his cars and mine break after 2 hours, at the most. Also weird that both of them are the same? (Metal clip just loose out...
