    Mis firing when cold

    Black smoke is unburnt fuel passing through the system ( not igniting due to plug not delivering a spark )

    Take the coil packs off the plugs, dry them off, apply WD40 to top of plugs and inside coil packs. Refit. If problem persists change TDC sensor or it could possibly be the Throttle body Renault used to fit SAGEM coil packs to there 16v engines and these have a reputation for going...

    Snow??....Get a R8

    You've got a heavy V10 engine there pushing down on the back end which is a good combination for grip / traction in this weather. Along with the 4WD / traction control system you cant go wrong. The wifes Audi A5 Quattro is brilliant in the snow After all it was Audi that mastered the 4WD...

    My Sweeeedish Hooker

    It is a Renault engine - F7P 722. Volvo and Renault shared there engines for some years ( and still do share various components ) The most common engine fitted to the 340 Volvo's was the C1J and the F1N. Right up until 2000 the Renault Laguna used the N7Q 2.0 16v 140 bhp engine from the...

    Impreza Tow Truck

    lol - Utter bollox There is no way a subaru will pull a fully laden articulated wagon out of ice / snow. Think about it - if you owned a newish subaru would you offer to pull a 25 ton truck stuck in snow and risk blowing your clutch / transmission ?? Good vid though

    High mileage Vee's...?

    The L7X lump suffers from head gasket problems. Once they get over 80k they can go at any time ( dependant upon how well its been looked after ) ive seen some laguna's with the L7X unit with 250k on the clock - ive seen some go at 70k. Same rule applies to most cars - look after them and they...

    Lenco CS1 shifter http://www.lencoracing.com/CS1MasterPage.html Lenco transmissions are very common in the US for high power strip cars - can handle up to 3000 bhp. The 427 Nova normally uses the TH400 ( Turbo hydramatic ) transmisson.

    Engine Management Light

    Probably the oxy sensor detecting change in emissions - you cant pin point the problem if its intermittent. If it happens again try to get it on a diagnostic whilst the lights still on.

    Mk1 Golf in brief so far

    No need for 2 VR6's ( unless your doing it for show ) when a well tuned AGU will give same power. Mate that up to GT30/40 an 02J with a quaiffe LSD + launch and you will have a 10 sec motor. I have a 500 hp capable AGU for sale btw ;) ..... bored to 1.9 JE pistons / IE rods / lightened...
