Yes Paul, at this time of year we need some wins with out cars. I certainly didn’t after 3 hours being unsuccessful in lighting up my temperature gauge needle! I need to sort some bodywork (too cold for the next 3months), a blowing exhaust that isn’t actually blowing when I check it by trying to pu...

Nice one Matthew. I need to keep being inspired as I’ve had too much going on to even go near my SEi for the last 6 months.

Turning over and not starting sounds like the rotor arm - nice easy and cheap fix.

I don’t know if you are referring to starting when hot, but if so, the fuel relay behind the centre console is notorious for failing on the Honda D series. A quick and easy fix if so - you can swap it or resolder the joints. Should be plenty of posts on this forum about it.

Cheers mate. Yes Rik was a top guy. I sold him some R8 bits many years ago

Funnily enough my Turbo Coupe went in for the MOT test yesterday and we stopped at the test emissions due to high CO and lamda numbers... Plugging a Crypton MAS tester into the diagnostics port came up with a coolant sensor fault flag, which I cleared and it didn't come back immediately, but I'm go...

Coolant temperature sensor is the usual culprit on most Rover engines-probably a good place to start. You were spot on. Had to have the ecu re-set aswell but it was the coolant sensor playing up. Passed now with flying colours Many thanks This is a really old post, but I am going to swap the ECU co...
