If the belts have been done, offer him a cheeky 2k and take it from there.
Just make sure all the paperwork is there to back it up and look out for who done the work. Its pretty much a specialist job so don't just see its been done and take it as gospel.
Read a few stories on here to make sure...
Well you will be paying £600 to have it done so that's your choice. If you buy it for £2200 then you will be paying £2800.
Every 5 years, not every 5k :)
It wont be pushing 200bhp.
Check service history for aux/cambelt/dephaser work and who by.
If it hasn't been done, take £600 off the asking price.
Colour is nice, you will find better in the for sale section on here though.
Hi George,
By no means am i a detailer, just a weekend driveway jobsworth but I do like a nice shiny car.
I don't have any machinery to do mine, I do it all by hand and a garden hosepipe.
I rinse mine with cold water from the hose on the "shower" setting to loosen up any dirt/grit then give it...
Springs will not quieten the exhaust, that's just being hopeful.
I bet its not sitting right somewhere. The backbox goes over the top of the rear beam so its always going to be close to it.
£800+ for a standard exhaust?
Cheers. So do I take one out at a time (leaving 3 in) and see if it improves, or do i need to get a good spare one to swap with the one in taking out.
I don't have any fault codes. Cars on 56k, not sure on the coilpack/leads etc. Throttle body os clean as a whistle, plugs are clean.
I do get a...
Idle is all over the place. The rev counter needle doesn't pick up on the drop and increase of revs bit i can feel it.
Its almost to the point where it feels like it should stall but never does.
Its done it since I've owned it but I thought it was normal having read the idle is rough on these...
Mine used to idle high and then drop, I was convinced it was mapped but I got the 98ron map anyway and notices a difference straight away.
Can you rev past 7k?
In fact. Yours isn't mapped, I just checked the calibration code compared to mine before I mapped it and they are the same.
Have you definatley spoken to Henk?
Seems strange he doesn't know if its mapped or not.
I'm sure there newer tuners actually state "RS TUNER" in one of the fields.
It did on mine. I bought mine brand new though so depends if you have an older one.
1100rpm cold, 950-1000rpm warm.
Rev limit will go up to 7.5k when warm. If you email Henk with the info he needs, he will send you a new...
