If you start it best to get it up to temp before switching off again else you can foul the plugs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeanMegaS2000 Posted April 25 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 25 Coil packs finally arrived today, so waited for my oldest to finish school, he put them in and we took it for a test drive. It appears to be a successful result, super happy. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanMegaS2000 Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 Quick update on the intermittent (thought to be misfire) issue. The place i bought the car from have it back at the moment, while I am at work. She unloaded some exhaust packing today. So perhaps it's been a bunged up exhaust. They say they're going to open the exhaust can for a look now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only starts to appear when engine bay temperatures start to climb. So cold start from the garage and initial drive out, it is fine. Then comes in after sometime. The recommendations all sound great. The dash has a Ctek socket, so I also want to get the trickle charger to be able to plug it in. The car also has plumbed fire extinguisher system, but I cannot see a cylinder anywhere. I'll have to chase the lines, but does anyone know where the bottle should've been and where I could get a replacement? Consider getting 1 or 2 Fire Safety Sticks. It seems to be the way everyone is going nowadays, saves weight too. This place seems to have the best deals atm https://www.carnoisseur.com/products/details/fire-safety-stick-free-safety-hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of getting a new tank for the plumbed in fire system, until I seen the price. That may have to wait awhile. The stick looks a great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A LOT of WSCC members are buying them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
