im so hoping you are going to solve this problem so i can try it on mine lol

Re: My mk1 track car blog well i have been racking my brain trying to suss out what i did last time to get it running, but im still stumped. i won't be working on the car til the weekend so i think i'm gonna follow burps advice and run a whole new wire to the coil and see if that does anything...

are you getting 12v at the coil when cranking if not this is EXACTLY the same problem i am having was running fine and then i sorted some wriring connections on the fuel pump/coil relay and now it wont fire this was the same problem i was having a while back, then one day while i was...

Re: My mk1 track car blog well 2 steps forward and 10 steps back today first of all i removed the old rear caliper with the snapped bleed screw, couldnt get the handrake cable ouf of its mounting so ended up cutting it off, no biggie though ordered a new cable to replace it. fit the new...

i think they are just counting the number of hoses differently mate i think ktec class the large bottom hose with the 2 smaller ones coming off it as one pipe? whereas samco class that as 3 pipes? i'm after a set aswell, but in white, i'm talking to tim (timsmeganer26 iirc) as he seems to be...

ah right in that case i dont have a spare CTS sensor, but have a spare CPS sensor

the connector was renewed as iirc it would let water into the connection oh yeh im aware it would richen the mixture up (as with any other vehicle on cold start) it was the 2 maps i was curious about lol yeh my new cps sensor came with a new plug and a bit of loom

ah right didnt realise it had 2 maps for hot or cold start, every days a school day :)

yeh thats what i abbreviate it as, but what has the CTS got to do with non starting when hot? i was thinking he might be abbreviating cam timing sensor or something along those lines for what i call CPS (crank position sensor) as these can cause starting issues when they get warm.

matteh just confirm what you are abbreviating to get CTS?

hang on a minute, ive just realised you put CTS aswell matteh, i assume you mean CPS as what would the coolant temp sensor do to stop it running?!

the 2 black cps sensors i have both fit the same plug?! its the new blue style cps that has a different connector :S i've only got the upstream lambda connected no worries, in no rush

ive got my old cps sensor in the garage if you want to try that (i put the new one on thinking that was causing my starting problem) give me the part number for it tho as ive mixed the valver one up with the 172 one :o

i reckon that could well be your problem can you cross reference the part numbers and see of they are the same?

Re: My mk1 track car blog yeh i need to refit my downpipe to manifold as its blowing in its current position :rolleyes: cheers, ive got a second hand one off mat brown, will be fitting it this weekend

my pug was a piece of cake, but as i have never done them on a clio i honestly dont know surely it must be the same principle, few clips holding the perspex on, unclip them and slide it off? put dial rings in, put perspex back on, job done? anyone had the perspex cover off before?

in the dining room, with the candlestick :approve: i thank you

that is one smart looking motor :D

i am placing the order today so you need to hurry up if you want a set

Re: My mk1 track car blog no i left that earth where it was (as you had bolted it to the thermostat housing iirc and mine was bolted not far from that on the block) im convinced i just had a dodgy connection and me sticking the multimeter probes here there and everywhere sorted it out...

cheers john i have pm'd tim :D

friend with discount? ;)

let me know if they will do it bud who you thinking of contacting?

without much investigation it appears to be mark wilkinson who is with newcastle falcons http://www.newcastle-falcons.co.uk/111_3367.php

'Colour Options: Red / Green / Yellow / Purple / Black / Orange / British Racing Green / White +15%' would either mean making your own kit from various pieces and bends etc, or maybe worth asking them if they can make up a car specific kit in white?

it says here at the bottom that white is an extra 15%? surely one of the distributors will be able to get you some? i would like some too :D

by far my favourite colour, makes me want a tungy :dapprove: think i prefer your other alloys though, need some better pics of the speedlines

right i will be making the order at the end of this week (payday :D) so if you want a set get your name down asap dont need to collect money til next week, but the supplier wants the numbers by the end of this week at the latest. final price will be £22 delivered to your door (i am buying...

get your names down on the group buy :)

no worries
