ok, i know, oil, not again you all say but, ive been doin some more readin on it, and this time i decided to have a good look at Mobil 1 0W-40 i requested the data sheets from Mobil and ive got the important viscosity figures, and im very surprised at them to be honest even though it has a...

right, yesterday i give my car some stick, i was doin 90 for the majority of half an hour (private roads) the car seems to be behavin itself now, its playin ball, not 100%, but a lot lot better, i think its possible due to the increased heat in the bay i may have dried somethin up, like some...

Tom how exactly does your car act ? have you tried anythin yet to fix it ? with the 16v the first thing i would do but be to remove, clean, and re-fit the ISCV, this is the usual culprit and obviously cleaning it is free, my car doesnt have one of these grrrrrr

right sod that then, looks like ill be gettin the speedo cable an tryin that

right, could this be anything to do with idle problems what exactly is this ?........what does it sense ? ive read a few comments about the speedo cable and a sensor it has on it, is this the sensor ?.... is it seperate from the actual cable ?

well ive replaced the coolant temp sensor, and the lambda so far, and it turned out to be neither of those but the car seems to have appreciated it so i can live with the expense problem is really buggin me though as ive had a diagnostic on it and the garage couldnt find any problems
