I have a rusty 2.4 03 s type. Only cost 600 quid. So far I have replaced the exhaust. The sump which had rusted through. About to do the power steering pipe. Very rusty behind the bumpers. No structural rust. No rust on the body. Cheap as chips

I cant avoid the ulez when they roll it out to the south circular. I thought it was October 2020 I have bought a type s 7th gen 2.4 instead of an identical 7th gen 2.2 diesel. Cant see how thos moves the environmental issues forward. Once I have reflashed it I will.have a much less economical...

I am going to have a go at the idle air control valve as it does not tick over very well the choke stays on for quite awhile is this normal I guess I should replace the drive belt And give it a good service can anyone suggest what sort of items I should do plugs gearbox oil any advice will be good

I really like the Mark 7 I've had three of the diesels now although the engines give me grief the problem is the Mayor of London has banned my car from the ulez Zone so the 2.4 petrol is ulez compliant plus I can remap and it should be quite good fun

Hi everyone. I have bought an 04 s type tourer that needs some TLC. 170k no service history. I plan to fix the problems then remap/reflash. It doesn't appear to burn any oil and sounds good apart from the clicking injectors the clutch feels really short and highnot a good sign. It was meant to...

Thanks guys for your response. I have tracked down the pattern middle box. That I could not find online. 68 quid. I can get a joiner piece to use the old rear box for a tenner on Ebay Honda want 291 with members discount for the cat back exhaust but it only includes one box I have to buy the...

I am worried about the timing chain before I put any more effort into fixing it. It sounds ok, nowhere near as bad as some on here. That said there is an irregular clack noise. sounds like a nut rattling inside possibly the cam cover. Hard to pin the location down but it seems to be from the...

Thanks F6had I was just using the free torque app so I am guessing that logging and logging of requested boost are not available on the freebe . I was just watching the boost gage. What app / software should I buy ? As far as I can tell the inlet and egr are ok. I swapped the egr out...

mine has the slightly ropey Chinese head unit fitted with very useful reversing camera. I bought it like that. The heater controls are backwards as it is designed for left hand drive Apart from freezing every now and then and being about 10yrs behind the times its quite good It also has a...

I will have a fiddle with the actuator in the morning as you suggest F6had I tried it before fitting and was not convinced that the range of movement was complete The Knackered one could not be moved at all

Thanks for the input. I did not clean the oil lines before I fitted it. good tip for next time thanks Have blanked the codes and just been on a 70mile test run had trouble making it go wrong again. My previous turbo had a huge dead spot but would then recover ( possibly sticky vanes) I just...
