Don't think my old 1.2 did 80 anyway lol. Emmissions light could be due to a faulty lambda sensor or cat.

Ok, probably looking at around 160. I got my radiator for 120 from gsf and took just over an hour to fit myself and I'm useless. I'm sure garages get parts cheaper.

if it emptied straight away when you put water in it can u not see where its emptying from?

can anybody shed anymore light on this? Just found a nice new patch of oil under the gearbox this afternoon so could do with getting it looked at but my closest specialist is rs tuning in leeds. How much money we thinking?

Go into the JMS section and there's a picture of it in their stage 2 tuning kit. Looks pretty much the same as a v6 box

dont bother, its a 1.2 and always will be.

when you say support gearbox, is it just a case of putting a jack under it untill the jack is touching the gearbox and then just unbolt the dogbone?

I'm looking for a guide aswel, I'm sure there is one. I'm going to buy the powerflex bushes after reading good reviews, but I think you need a hydraulic press which I don't have.

what do you mean? Will it just wash off if i dont wax it? Daniel, yeh i know what you mean, but i got a good finish so no suds is good for me!

Well splashed the cash yesterday and bought of the above as i hear good reviews on it. I usually wash my car with turtle wax car shampoo and wasnt happy with the results. Washed with the autoglym and didnt even leather after i rinsed it down, it dried with barely and streaks at all, the...

Really, was that on a ph1 or ph2 though because ph1 airbox is really good anyway.

itl make naff all difference either way on a 1.2 whatever airbox setup your using. But it is nice to know youve got a nice cool air feed going to the engine

I had it on my mates diagnostics and an rs tuner and nothing was showing as a fault. What would a good garage know to look for on the diagnostics?

I'm not down on power I don't think, was keeping up with my mates ctr in a 30 to 70 run coming off a roundabout to the dual carriageway It's just the spluttering and the high idle annoying me.

I'd get the JMS one if I were you, at least they've got rr graphs to show an improvement.

Cheers mate. My knowledge is limited engine wise but I do try and help and relate to things like I would if I was a complete noob. Audio wise then pm's this way or get onto talk audio ;)

Call it what you want but I'm sure the op will know exactly what I'm talking about when he goes to test it which In my eyes is good help which is what the forum is about. Boost may have been the wrong word sorry but I'm sure he knows he hasn't got a turbo or sc under the hood so understood...

I was just trying to simplify it for him, some people new to the forum mite not have a clue what were on about by saying '5k kick'

Lol what's funny about that? 1*2 are known for the 5k kick in standard form.

Warm it up for a good 15 minutes, don't thrash her. Second gear, check for massive boost at 5000 and check if limiter kicks in at around 7200, if it does both then chances are it's running standard. If it is alot smoother rev wise from 3000 to 7800 then it's probably remapped. The 5000 rpm...

Right, I'm swaying towards lambda, an it's all on you if it's wrong ha. Is there anyway to test the leads with a multimeter?

Tried that ha, had the blow torch to heat it up, wd40, thin oil, will not budge. Well previous owner did say it's had 2 new lambada but had no receipts. I'm not sure weather to go for a new lambda or new ht leads? Can only afford 1. 50:50 chance it might fix it lol

If it revs to 7800 when hot it's had an rs tuner map. Best way to describe it though would be do you get a massive boost in power at 5000 rpm or is it steady all the way? If you get the massive boost at 5000 then chances are it's running standard map.

Well that was my plan of action but my post cat one has welded itself into my cat which is sat in the garage. Fred sed rear doesn't need plugging in so that can't be the problem

Strange you say that, my decat ktec supersport is loud as hell when I thrash it but on motorways once the speed is steady you can't hear the exhaust

Below 3k if I blip the throttle it sounds really spluttery, and if I leave it ticking over it idles at 1000 when fully warm. But main thing I've noticed is my tail pipes get black and sutty after about 40 miles. Currently changed Coil Plugs Stat Temp sensor Inlet manifold gasgets

Well waste of 28 quid, still sounds exactly The same. Don't know what else to try other than some New leads. Diagnostics machine says nothing apparently.

nah for some reason the f4r engine hates any other plugs than the proper ngk ones. Think ill just get the cheap one and hope for the best lol

Going to get a new coil pack to see if this cures my missfire. Are 182's as picky with coil packs as they are with spark plugs? GSF have got one for 28 quid and one for 50 or i could get gebuine for about 65. Is a coil pack a coil pack sorta thing or will it run like crap like it does...
