Any offers before these get put in the loft?

I have a spare set of original wheels from my LSE, unused since being refurbished and powdercoated in Arctic White. £250. Postage can be arranged or you can collect them in person, Thanks.

"Well, you're gonna laugh - my rrc is having a very similar issue, misfiring and rough idle with the occasional stall. The idle is mostly O.K. but it gets really upset if you open the throttle quickly from idle. Slow throttle, it picks up and revs fine. I have swapped out the ignition...

I apparently spoke too soon... The new lambda sensors were fitted yesterday, and the car ran perfectly from cold, felt nice and crisp, and the orange (!) symbol on the dash didn't illuminate, even under full throttle. As soon as the car was up to temperature however, the light appeared and it...

I think fuel economy would suffer? I've been wanting to de-cat the car for a while, but I can't find anywhere that does such a thing for the LSE. Any ideas?

Fixed at last... The ignition components were stripped and refitted, timing re-set and away it went. Runs great until warm then the ignition system warning light comes on and it goes into limp mode. This ties in with the ECUMate reading I got about the misfire and right lambda failing as the...

Sorry for taking so long to update this... I replaced the throttle potentiometer, but the car would still not start due to a lack of spark. It turned out that the distributor had failed. I replaced the distributor and it finally fired into life. However...on part throttle the car felt a bit...

Thanks a lot for the help. I've been out to look at the car today, and I can't get the potentiometer below 58% with the engine switched off, even though the holes have been filed to allow some adjustment. Does this mean the potentiometer is completely knackered? Also, I took the King lead off...

I've just taken one of the plugs out, and it smells of fuel so it would appear that I am getting fuel, but no spark. The coil is a new Bosch one, and the ignition amp has been replaced in the past, but I'm wondering if the amp could have failed again. The connector is currently off of it but...

Above are the displays from the ECU, with the ignition on but the engine not running as it still won't start. The ecumate isn't registering any faults.

Thanks, the car's in East Calder, between Edinburgh and Livingston.

Right...I've been a plonker. I was connecting the ecumate to the air suspension connector, hence why I was getting no response. I've found the correct connector now but...the car won't start at all so I've got a new problem. It'll turn over fine but won't fire. I've had this problem in the...

I've bought an ECUMate, but I've got the same problem as I had when I connected it to Rovacom - it can't connect to the ECU so I can't pull the fault code. I've got a Tornado ECU chip fitted, could this be causing the communication problem or be faulty, sending the ECU into fault mode? Any...

Ok...I found a pipe had come off that attaches to the plenum near the throttle butterfly - once this was attached the car started and idled perfectly. Problem solved...or so I thought. As soon as I drove the car, it felt sluggish and the EFI warning light came on more or less immediately. It...

Thanks for the detailed info - I hadn't fully understood what you meant by adjustment on the throttle pot but I do now. I have tested it and it's working fine, so it's neither the stepper motor or the throttle pot. If I tighten the throttle cable, I can get the car to idle badly, but it will...

I've taken the potentiometer off this morning and see that there is a flat spade/blade coming out of the sensor, which when the sensor is in place fits inside a female slot inside the inlet plenum. None of it appears to be adjustable? I've managed to get the car to idle by tightening the...

But more head scratching required... Replaced the stepper motor today with a new one and it made absolutely no difference...car starts and revs but cuts out once I let off the throttle. Next step is the throttle potentiometer. I've located this but haven't taken it off yet. It doesn't appear...

Right...decided to remove and clean the stepper motor/air idle control valve, and it felt loose as I removed it. Cleaned it, and as I gently screwed it back in the threaded part sheared off. So...I'm assuming it had split and was leaking, hence my idle issue. Unfortunately the threaded part is...

These all look ok and were checked when the new Bosch coil was fitted. Definitely getting fuel and at the right time so not a blocked filter or fuelling issue either.
