i had an old crx years ago i paid £50 for as an mot fail had nearly 200,000miles on it got it through the mot and had much fun in it till it died doing an indicated 140mph on the speedo may have been a bit optimistic but i do remember it went like stink! nearly as much as it stank inside due to...

purely as there is so many threads about split rads leading to cracked heads, seems strange that it just split for no reason made me wonder if the cooling system has excess pressure. could be a manufacturing defect as the plastic on the top does seem rather thin where it split but as it was...

lent my dse to a friend while i had his disco for some work when he called to say it was leaking coolant didnt get it hot went just over halfway when he parked it up at work and switched it off. when i got to it the radiator has split on the top in the middle on what i can assume looks like a...

or a new air flow meter who is to say the 2nd hand one was any good! if it cured it then went tits again, worth a try or even better if the mate who had the spare engine has a p38 borrow his known good one of his rangie to see if that cures it

what a prick. if i wanted to take the **** i would have mentioned your spelling. retard.

if you have poor coms on diagnostic there is two three way spliced wires which corrode away and cause problems when connecting diagnostic devices. the loom runs just under the allways leaking and problematic heater matrix o rings and coolant drips onto it and corrodes the splice. each splice...

you can just unplug the wires under the seat if with them disconnected it wont blow fuses or cause any faults. heated seats not working is common the wire which runs around and heats up on the cushion breaks easy fix really but have never seen one cause a fault message or blown fuse! if it was...

clarky you still got the hurricane wheels? not far away near marlborough wilts been looking for a reasonably priced set for a while!!!!! let us know if you have and what you want for them! cheers nathan

they also like to leak from the bulkhead and base of the plastic box which holds pollen filters, access is from under scuttle panel. easy to check drop the trim off under the glovebox and look around the heater blower motor. if you cant find the drains from underneath easy to get at from inside...

sounds like the engine fuse box is on its way very common gives lots of strange faults do a search lots of threads on checking and repair if your brave enough and have the time!

i allways remove egr valves on my diesels, more to do with engine life to stop sooty exhaust particles getting into engine oil. another american invention interestingly the question was raised about engine damage but studys never done guess they thought enviroment was more important than engine...

another thing to check for the fault would be blocked exhaust often over looked as a possibility! slacken join between center pipe and downpipe so it can blow and try if its the same tighten and slacken of at turbo to downpipe to see if cats blocked. also take it for a run and see if any...

if it were me i would replace heater core sensor as a start just clips on the ali pipes which goes into heater matrix clear faults and see if that fault has gone it is only about £16 from island4x4 if it goes away then would lead me to beleave that maybe hevac unit was okay and i had a few more...

omega engine is the best to use as the injection pump is the same! sump and oil pick up pipe will have to be swapped as will turbo and exhaust manifold apart from that pretty straight forward. normally works cheaper for the home mechanic to change the engine by the time you have bought gaskets...

one of the last then! as there are no fault codes present my first item to look at would be air flow meter or maf if it has completely failed would give those exact symptoms. easy check just disconnect it and take it for a drive and see if it improves, it is located between air filter box and...

heater blower motor faults usually good indication of engine compartment fuse box, otherwise clear faults as soon as symbol appears plug it back in and see whats there. display is only bulbs search around there are guides on how to change them.

2nd that! try ebay for used one can be refurbed if faulty had mine for at least 10yrs in workshop enviroments still going strong you get what you pay for!

what year is it? does it have an air flow meter from late 98 on engine management system changes will help to diag the fault
