That would have sold in massive numbers over here, great looking hot hatch.

What a cool little car, I had no idea these existed.

That sounds like a vacuum leak, you sure you've plugged everything back in?

Where do you live? The members of this club are pretty sound, there may be someone local willing to lend you their throttle body and pedal for a day.

All ph2 172 and 182 TB's are the same. Ph1 TB's are drive by wire and all have cables, so they won't work.

You could clean it with WD40 and a toothbrush, the hinges on the butterfly valve collect crap especially if you have an oil impregnated air filter, but the cutting out issue sounds like a total signal loss, swap for a mates TB and see if that helps.

They do get gunked up with sh*t (engine temp may free it up a little) and they also wear out over time, a hell of a lot of my electrical issues went away when I swapped the throttle body over.

This will be what's causing the limp mode, most probably the signal from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body has weakened or is intermittent, probably best to borrow one off someone else's car for a day to see if it fixes it before you commit to buying a replacement throttle body.

Wasn't close enough to see if it was Lotus Carlton or just a regular one, not seen one in years.

There was one on Top Gear last week, I guess they're hoping it'll generate some sales.

The only yank channel I watch is 1320video, I like the Drag Week tours, I have no wish to visit America but if I had the chance to do one of those mega road trips in a hot rod i'd definitely go.

Best episode yet.

Is the driver wearing a balaklava?

As far as I know the gossip was that he left his wife and new born for Renee Zellweger, but from what he said it was his wife that left him holding the baby, literally! He was then in lockdown on his own with a new born, then met RZ months afterwards while making another show.

Is the grill made out of roof tiles?

Yep that's a f*cking monstrosity, I thought you quit weed?

They can't even park properly.

Is is all the time or after the tyres get hot?

The rear could be stiffer than the front causing it to understeer.

Have you tried the rear arb on it's softest setting?

If it's missing the plug in that cylinder will be in a right state.

You could try swapping the HT leads round, as in use one from a cylinder that still fires.

It also had less warning lights than a 172.

They do have lumpy idles, but it's hard to tell from the exhaust end, can you do a vid on the engine with the bonnet up? Would be a lot easier to hear if it's missing.

I know a lot of you have owned and worked on MK4 Golfs, anyone know anything about steering racks? Mine has blown the passenger side seal it just pisses all it's fluid on the floor until it's empty, instead of trying to fix it i'm just going to change it, problem is VAG forums are useless and...

You've got some work ahead of you, that rear beam is a right mess.

Is that the original pea shooter exhaust? Seems really small for aftermarket but looks stainless.
