So I finally got my car back, turned out the timing chain was knackered. Thanks for the advice guys!!

Get your timing checked, as unlikely everybody seems to think its that I had the same issues and it was that!

No pal was just driving down an a road and it cut out on me! No lights came on until I pulled the airflow sensor out because I thought it was airflow! Then it went into limp mode

Yeah dude I get that no worries! If it is the chain though and he's right about it being out by that it won't have caused any problems to the pistons etc?

Yeah same guy!

Went see the mechanic today he said tgectimings out by 10 degrees! So it needs doing!

Cam timing! Am not sure what the codes are, like I said he plugged it in and rang me saying it was can sensor! I rang him asking if it was done and then he said it wasn't that it was this

Yeah am sure he changed the right one, I'm not sure what code its throwing out I just left the car with him and said sort it.

What else could it be though? If he's said the timing is out

Then he said the timing was out on it.

It cut out on me while I was driving and wouldn't start up again, so I thought it would be airflow problem so I pulled the sensor out and it started up but went into limp mode, so took it straight to a good mechanic I know, he plugged it in and said it was cam sensor, he replaced that but still wasn't right.

I've recently discovered I need a new timing chain, I've searched the web to try and find one, without paying the £570+vat that main dealer want and come across them in the states for around 300 dollars! Would you leave well alone because that seems a lot cheaper, will quality be poor for that? Mike

I like the sound of this. look forward to more information on it.

Cheers guys

Anybody know good place to go for a service in the west Midlands area? I don't mind travelling around the Midland. Mike

Is it expensive to do?

can heated electric seats be fitted in place of cloth seats in a jap import and if so is it an expensive job to do?

I've rang the garage they said alls they did was take them off and put them back on!

I've tightened them and undone them and still nothing! The washer jets work though

I've recently picked my car up from the body shop to find out my front wipers aren't working, anyone have any ideas as to what it could be? When I put the wipers on they twitch slightly!

Haha yeah it was a badger. I've been and had the balancing sorted, gave it a quick blast and all is good! Thanks for the help guys

Yes the car was fine before the wheels went on. Cheers for the help guys!

I've recently brought a second hand pair of 19" finichi Firenze wheels, I had them refurbed and brought brand new tyres for them! I was driving down the motorway at 75mph yesterday and the steering wheel started shaking! Any ideas as to what this will be? Cheers mike
