Stirling Meet 29/08/2006

Same day, the "after party!" Safe to say camera phones have come on a long way 😂

Scottish RR day 09/02/2008 - Falkland Performance

Can we get a re run of the original stickers the same as the current header logo?!!! Used to proudly rock mine and ive just bought another black 1.2 16v for the nostalgia!

Has this made an appearance yet

Can't believe I've never seen this thread. It's funny I was never a fan of arctic blue when they were new but now I absolutely love it. Standard wheels and splitter, the way it left the factory, love it! Good work. The older I get the more I appreciate an escort too 😂😎

Not my car today but I done a wet belt for my Mrs (no) friend (also no!) new Corsa with the Peugeot PureShite 1.2 20 plate, 21k miles, check the state of this!

Does the fan come on with the AC? Other than on really hot days sitting stationary for a while my fan never comes on, but if I test it on diag or put the AC on, it fires up Is your temp guage going past the mid point?

Thanks, ill be able to play Forza now!

standard airbox, standard manifold on mine with the Akrapovic Evolution, sounds INCREDIBLE, Ive driven one with the Akra that also had the Ktec decat manifold and it sounded great, a tad too loud for me but quieter than the ones ive driven with Scorpions/ktec. The scorpion cars were always too...

Check the intake temperature reading make sure its in the same ball park as ambient temp when the car is cold. Make sure the plugs are correct, its a TCE specific plug but some factors provide the normal 1.2 plug. Check the readings from the pre cat lambda sensor

as above I had this with a 172 I bought that someone had fitted lowering springs and not fitted the bump stops, it ran at fairly sensible height and I couldn't for the life of me work out why I was getting rubbing as i had never felt one "hitting" the bump stops so assumed it shouldn't have been...

Bingo, you've probably missed one! (not taking the piss, ive been there!) I'm sure there's one down the back of the gearbox somewhere that i missed in between the ABS block and starter motor area. Does the fan come on when you test it with the Autel/turn the AC on? or is it just not kicking in...

OEM clutch and learn to heel and toe, no wonder people are killing them on track watching some of the videos on YouJizz

If I remember right the section that covers the tank is the same on a non RS as it is on the RS so be plenty at a breakers. The front and rear sections are the corrugated looking parts that were RS specific, but the tank section is the smooth bit with no pressed pattern in it

Autel shows the alternator appears to be working, worth checking it on a multimeter to see if it's erratic. Check the earth points make sure the main earth are clean and in good condition How olds the battery? Mk3s weren't as fussy as a MK4 with battery condition but if it's on its way out...

Paypal always side with the buyer in these cases so assume he's been burned before. if i was him id also be getting red flags with someone trying to buy something and have it posted to a country where the car wasn't ever available?

looks shite, least its still petrol right enough, becoming a thing of the past

bummer, was hoping a dodgy coil was the culprit! I've never known a crank sensor to cause one to idle high, just randomly cut out or struggle to start, possibly worth a go since they are cheap!

mine sounds like this with 2500 miles on the clock, best get it booked in haha

Randomly parked in a carpark in a quiet village :ROFLMAO:

thats the thermostat opened and all the coolant has then went down into the air filled radiator. you will need to top it up again. obviously you will need to find out where the coolant went originally for it to be empty! assume a radiator or hose leak etc

As above change it out for a good quality AGM

Sounds fairly normal for a modern direct injection engine, the injectors all tick like that

Overnight parts from Spain... Nice to see what looks like an unused fag lighter 😂

they wont turn the lights on, just point out to them when you drop it for its retest that you have polished the lenses and they will remove the advisory, ive done that with various garage and the always have a look and think "oh so he has" and then remove advisory

you can get little pumps on eBay for pumping liquid, I've used one of them before. My mate told me i probably shouldn't wet vac a fuel tank but I've not died yet...

Nope there is a metal spacer that sides down the middle of the big rubber doughnut, the small 13mm nut then tightens down against it which holds it all together then that big top hat goes on once on the car found this online which shows it...
