The leather on the drivers seat by the airbag looks very saggy, possibly gone off in the past....

Your tyre looks flat in this picture :rasp:

The OP speaks the truth! When my car came back from a garage recently they decided to wash my car and jet wash my engine bay while they were at it. Shortly after when driving the car it started to run on three cylinders, misfire and overfuel, which really does make the car sound like it has a...

I'd recommend taking it to a specialist to get it checked, 519 automotive did mine when I got my belts done. Not entirely sure how to check it without taking it to a garage but sure someone else on here will know. If your belts haven't been done or even if the previous owner said they've been...

If it's not an ignition related issue, the symptoms sound exactly the same as my 182 when i first bought it and the timing was out. After getting that corrected properly when changing the belts, i noticed that the car revved more freely, pulled harder and my mpg increased from about 25mpg to...

A lot of people run turinis in the usual anthracite probably because it looks good and original. Gold wouldn't look too bad i suppose bit of a williams tribute, better than these people putting red and orange wheels on blue 182s.

Hello, I'm currently needing to purchase 2 front (and soon to be 2 rear) tyres, I know that most people think that pilot sports are the best and currently having 4 of them on the car (the front 2 of which are nearly bald and still perform well) I wouldn't disagree. However, my budget at the...

Well you've got a gt dci which i suppose is closer to a 197/200 than the 1.2 I had and you own a 172 which is very similar to a cup packed 182 (don't know if yours is a cup/cup packed) so I suppose you would know.

+1 you learn something new everyday.

I disagree. Another thing i didn't like was the fact it just doesn't feel as agile as the 182 (i know it's a 1.2 not a 197) but I still think that the 197 is big in comparison to a 182 and the 182 would be better in the bends and under braking. I admit that in a straight line i'd expect the 197...

Hmm. I was in a similar situation recently where after a woman scraped the side of my 182, my car came back from the body shop and I wasn't happy with it. The insurance company told me they would send out a hire vehicle while mine went back. Here's what i ended up with instead of my 182 lol -...

Lol funny guy.

Would of come to this, however after checking the post code of the "central" location its 105 miles from me :dapprove: and i'm in hertfordshire. Is it me or is the coast not very central? :rasp:

Just get some screws that are a slightly larger thread diameter. Done.

Sounds good, it's probably gonna cost me about £40 petrol though that's what i'm debating...is it still about 20 people going?

What time is everyone meeting and where? Might convoy down with jekyll if he's still going/up for it as this will be my first meet.

This still going down? Might pop along if it's in the evening.

Good strippage, however working with your car up on two trolley jacks is not cool! (picture 3) Invest in some axles stands lol

I had this EXACT same problem a few weeks ago! I even posted and put something like "i know this is ridiculous but it sounds like a subaru engine" and my emissions light was flasing. The cure turned out to be a spark plug that was moist from the idiots at the bodyshop jetwashing my engine bay...

Is your engine management light solid ON, or is it flashing on and off?

Just a thought, if you say that it doesn't increase with the revs but does increase with speed, the fault could be something within the wheel assembly like the hubs, possibly a stone in your brake pad?

was it a girl driving? I've seen a blonde girl round harlow way with a BG.

Get a DC5 integra over the civic type r any day if you choose to go the honda route. If I was you i'd get a 197 and put a "vtec this *middle finger*" sticker on it in your case lol.

If you've got AA membership or similar just phone them and tell them the car is stuttering and you can't drive it (if you've got home start). I had a misfire TODAY and got a technician out who put a diagnostic tool on and told me which cylinder the misfire was on. Cheaper than buying a code...

Late edits - So anyway i thought i would give cylinder - of any water vapour if there was any

Was the spark in cylinder 2. Cleaned it up. bit of wd40 and back in...sorted! :)

Yeah dan remember that, after the AA man came he put it on the diagnostic and all that came up was oxygen sensor fault (which the AA man said would come up if the car is misfiring) and cylinder 2 misfire. All pretty much expected. So anyway i though i would give cylinder 2's spark plug one last...

It's the tip of the two sensors that is totally different trust me, one is very chunky and the other is longer and thin, there's not much difference in the length of the cable, i've swapped them round now so you clearly can (the cables are long enough), i took them to a mate and he told me that...

Spark plugs were done by danny at 519 along with a service and some other bits within the last 2 months. Surely they wouldn't be muffed already? I've done the coil pack, no change, swapped the lambda sensors for each other in case one was muffed, no change, i've taken the inlet manifold off to...
