Also the drivers seat will recline but wont come back up! Is this the cable problem where you shorten the coating on it to fit further into the motor? |

There are common faults with the seats but I've not had to repair one yet.

No pics but the car has been giving me more problems!!
On a drive you can hear a rattle intil you get on the brakes, and the handbrake was garbage! So started on the front, no oil on the sliders, no grease on the pads and the springs wernt pressing against anything. So fixed all that and onto the rears. Only one side had a retaining kit, just had the old rusty pins so that was causing some rattling issues. Adjusted the handbrake but turns out one of the cables was seized solid! Original shoes and everything was bent or broken! So a day later and all the new bits ordered i now have a car that doesnt sound like a bag of spanners going down the road. I cant understand why simple jobs are overlooked or done incorrectly. Its an easy thing to do and dont understand how these things can be done wrong! Im just glad it didnt end badly! But other than that im still loving the car! Last edited by Craigyt; Oct 7th, 2016 at 22:54. |

Sorted the lambda light out. Read the codes and all fingers pointed to the lambda sensor so replaced that, looks like it was still running the original one so no wonder it was showing a fault.
While lurking in the engine bay reading the codes i noticed the newly fitted power steering pump, all the bolts were coming loose so had all that to tighten up! The TCV is also dangling about so need to find out where that monts and fix that. And also the old aux belt tensioner looks like its on its was out as it rattles n squeaks so looks like im going to have to buy a new one!!! One day it will be as i want it! But atleast its got some more go now! |

A lovely looking car, congratulations on your purchase. It's fortunate you know your way around it. Rica or HLM 304 maps are excellent with 16t's and have stood the test of time, they might deliver an additional 25BHP or so and all together a different driving experience. I'm unsure if you can still get them new, but second hand ones can be found on the performance forums now and again.
