Not sure how the choke can be fixed. I'll try and re video it later today because its become more violent. The car won't stall it gets pretty close to doing so though.
Cheers for the reply dude!
I replaced the crank sensor last year but I'm pretty sure it still done it after that, but I'll check.
Car starts on first turn it just the revs bounces 500-1500rpm. I'll try the double ignition thing also.
Unless it could be fuel filter? Maybe it isn't getting enough fuel through when I quickly start it. So the ECU maybe trying to compensate. Hence the waiting for 10 seconds or so works. I'll take a look at the fuel filter.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Right so my car has done this for as long as I can remember and I really want it sorted now as its annoying.
If I start the car instantly when cold (so from ignition OFF to ON) the revs will bounce up and down for about 5 seconds then everything will go back to normal.
If I left the ignition in...
200 would be a nice change.
If you write off a car again (hope not) and you want to part it out let me know, because I have a couple garages it can be locked up in. Only takes a coupe days for a car like that to be stripped, chassis cut up etc..
I would think that the Volvo would have been written off surely due to the structural damaged to that corner of the car.
Should of stripped the car Euan IMO
Some cars look better with fogs acting as the DRL's. I don't mind it when it suits the car but when it doesnt its annoying and when the fogs are stupidly bright its annoying.
Those annoying people where they put HID's in there fogs and in there headlights when they don't have projectors.

Not exactly home theater setup but does bedroom/home office count?

The reason for this is:
-You dont have a garage to keep it in
-You want it protected against the elements
-You dont want to keep declaring it sorn and insuring it again if you spontaneously decide you want to drive it.
hypothetical only
Assuming you had two cars your daily and something else. The daily is insured at your home address but your 'something else' is in your mates house garage somewhere.
What address do you insure the 'something else' car at?
Always wondered if the address relates to the car or...
Now another surprise my custom spare wheel sub woofer box!
First the design, needs to fit into my spare wheel well with extra space to fit some break down supplies (tire inflator and high vis jacket etc..)
The box also needs to be a suitable volume for my subwoofer which is really old and is...
Update time!
So I have a Halloween special for you guys!
I have built a boot build for my Clio. I decided to do this because I got used to the fact of not having my rear seats installed and I dont think I'll ever need them really.
Another reason for the build is so I can hide all my ICE...
in terms of halfords audio as it pains me to say it go for Vibe or Alpine ones
Get ones rated around 70watts maximum because anymore can cause to much load for your headunit.
You should see my old ICE setup lol
That car was mint shame about that :(
I'll look out for ones around £8500 full fat with cup no harm in trying to bargain down.
I have narrowed it to a 200 or a 2009 JCW Mini Cooper but thats a different discussion lol

It would nice to own a Clio 200 at some point in my life (now) but I only want to keep it for a short period say 6 months to a year. The models I have been looking at are Full fat with cup pack (recaros and sat nav) with 30-50k miles for around £7500 any idea on whats happening to the value on...
I broke one of the clips on my engine cover just wondering what solvent/adhesive I can use to stick it back on? I am concerned the heat from the engine may affect it in the long run.
Cheers!

Hi Guys
My heater unit is able to blow out hot and kind of cold air. But you cant switch between them when the engine is running.
For example, say the heating was set to hot and you were driving, even if you turned it down to MINI with AC it would do nothing at all. But if you switch the engine...
Thanks man did the usual upgrade. Uprated brakes to brembo MAX discs and pads, racing brake fluid, Coilovers, Michellin PS3, Strut bracing, and full service. Will bring a tyre pressure gauge thanks for the advice!
Just booked this should be fun in my 75hp non sport ahahah.........😢
Its my first track day so just wondering if I need to buy a helmet or any other safety equipment before hitting the track?

Question is will they be good with Brembo Pads or any other...
This happens when the car is started immediately when the key is inserted.
If I leave the key on the on position for about 5 seconds this problem doesn't happen. I changed the coil pack but this didn't solve it, it may be the battery but that was tested as ok.
I recorded what happens link to...
