Got my lad to polish up the car today, filled it up with fuel so i'm ready to go and really looking forwards to Saturday now

I had several codes appear all relating to sensors, when we finally traced the fault to an iffy coilpack I cleared the faults and none came back. It ran ok at speed but poorly at idle and was underpowered.

I recently bought this as i was going to re-map but i'm not going down this route now hence it's up for sale, looking for £95 plus P&P. Dave. *****SOLD*****

Here are a couple of pics of one of my cars, it's a Cooper S, one pic with silver then with the same wheels refurbed in gloss black

I also recently had this problem with similar fault codes...........turned out to be a faulty coil pack Took me days to find this rascal, took a few seconds to start, traction and slip lights on, exactly like a crank sensor!!

Black wheels on a grey or silver car look great in my personal opinion!!

Got my tickets & pass, many thanks! Thursday onwards looks to be nice & dry, according to my builders anyway

Nightmare!!!! What an idiotic thing to do, would they really believe this attempt at saving their reputation would actually get anywhere other than what has happend There was another thread on the Vauxhall 220 Club (or similar) where a chap called Imran tried to sell one of the members a written off car from the very same club. The thread went global and even included self dubbed Bollywood style movies, one of the biggest 'owned' threads ever seen

Haha, He has upped the price a little!! He has changed his ad though so maybe that has warranted the price increase

from Blackwood South Wales!!

Well spotted! Just had an email from the seller apologising for the error on the ad. It only has the 2 parts not 3 so I'll give it a miss.

Thanks for the heads up on this, just bought it for £500 Looks like i'll have to sell my Cobra system now and it's only run around 6 miles Dave.

from sunny Blackwood, South Wales!

Have you tried erasing all the codes then driving again? I recently had a coilpack fail and it threw up all sorts of codes that needed clearing, tried the ECU code reader the next day and no further issues Dave.

I saw them in Cardiff a few months ago and they were pretty good, i'm not a huge fan but the tickets were free and i did enjoy the night out I may still have a DVD of the show, if i find it i'll PM you and send it off to you! Dave.

Did you buy it? Looks a nice car

Wow!! That's one nice car!! I've never seen a different engine in a 350 before, i bet that car is serious fun

No probs Ian, good mod is the wideband, had one on my RX7 which definately needed it!! I'll come and say hello at Japfest Dave.

If you want to use my 4 post ramp to fit this then you are very welcome Let me know if you do as it's no problem and there's no charge. Dave.

That's a nasty one!! Front bumper repair / repaint around £150-£200, wing repair /repaint around £80-£90. It'd probably be worth paying yourself but hopefully you can get CCTV images and then pursue the leaving the scene of an accident route? Hope all goes ok for you! Dave.

I have an 03 plate Z and a 55 plate Z, the 03 plated clutch is definately heavier than the 55 plated clutch. Dave.

It'll be worth taking the plugs out to check them as you'll be able to see which coil is faulty by the spark plug. It'll either be wet or quite fouled up compared to the others.

That looks lovely in white!!

Clean your seals with baby oil, not only will it clean them they'll smell nice / expand a little / hopefully not leak Lots of rag tops leak via dirty seals so keep them nice and clean

I'll have this please!! Dave.
