Ok thanks. Just wondered as it is already installed on the car I purchased.

hi anyone got a kc as I’m just wondering how it works. Do I need the air con on blowing out cold air for it to work. Or is it on all the time.

Yeah I know. It’s a nice car for its age. Interior is spotless. Exterior needs abit of work. But just need to get this fault sorted first.

Yes. But like you said in the pics it looks mint. The bodywork is not an issue for me. However I did say Is this car mechanically sound and he replied yes. To be fair he seemed like a really nice bloke. And if indeed this fault just accured on my journey home then I do feel abit bad as I would...

Rear shock on passenger needed replacing so that sorted out suspension. I won the bid at auction for £8500. My max bid was £9500. So if it cost me abit to get it fixed then so be it. Paintwork also needs attention but Iv got a good body shop I use to sort that.

Seems funny though when I rang him he said turn the car of and bk on on again and see if that sorts it. Which it did for a short while. Then it happened again and he didn’t answer.

Well he answered the first time then never answered again as he knew we had problems. I would be grateful if he did however know what was up with the car to just tell me. So I know where to start. But I do enjoy fault finding on cars and learning about the engines so once Iv explored all...

Any ideas on how to test for an intake leak on these engines

Scanned with icarsoft. Code p0235 Saying short to ground. So now I’m thinking it must be something with the wiring. Or corroded pins somewhere. Plug into map sensor all looked fine. When I get the live data from the map sensor it fluctuates at idle between 390-412mb.

Spoke to soon. Car defiantly better but still bogging down now and then. Have to send it in after Xmas.

Yeah I understand that. Iv already put new rear shock, fixed the sat nav and changed the door pillar trims as old ones where corroded. I just hope it’s nothing major with the engine. But have to get it sorted after Xmas. Not sure what the problem is yet. Iv changed the map sensor. as that...

Hi there It was me who actually bought this car. We got 5mins down the road and the car started bucking like crazy and then the low fuel light came on. Filled it up with Tesco 99 ron. Started back up fine. Drove another 15 mile and car started dying again as soon as the throttle was used past...

It was a faulty map sensor that I fitted. Changed it now car seems 90% better. Going to change the faulty o2 sensor next and hopefully trouble free motoring for a bit.

Iv had bad o2 sensors on cars in the past and they have never run this bad. Iv got a replacement map sensor coming as I got a feeling the one I fitted is faulty. If that doesn’t fix it it will be going in to a garage. Iv read that a faulty map sensor can sometimes through a code for o2 sensors.
