Another one ! Yes, new thread, new project. While I finish the Td4 and V6 I have bought a January 2003 1.8 K Series (Spares or Repair) !!
Picked it up yesterday, initial very quick survey:
17 inch alloys, neat side steps, had new discs / calipers, wood trim to dash, much coveted cup holders, ES spec. 3/4 tank fuel. MOT till Nov 18.
So that's the good bits. Bad bits (so far):
Misfiring badly but running, showing codes P0301, P0303, P0313. Cyl 1 & 3 misfire (do they share a coil pack?). Two of the door retraining straps broken from body, jack cubby full of water, rear wiper broken off.
Also has 'personal plate' - anyone 900 years old with intials GRS want it ?? AND it isn't Epsom Green, it is black so doesn't match my other 2 !
So - a fixer I think. Drove onto trailer but my guess was firing on 2 - smells very rich at the rear.
Pictures - you want pictures............
Anti-freeze smells good and clean and oil is golden brown...... Let the resto commence.....
Any ideas on first places to look for the misfire - it is the 1 & 3 that may be a clue.
