Hi Adam,
if you don't get it sorted i could pop round or you could come over to me and we'd have a look at it.
I'm in Deansgrange,

what RPM are you running at 75mph? is the cam timed correctly? also is the spring/needle correct? could be that the carb-piston is fully up (open) when you get to 75, so wont give more - in that case you might need a heavier spring. see this thread: http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/146506-...

I'll just leave this here.

Given all that's been said above and before you start down that road, consider a fully sorted supercharger install. Not the same power admittedly, but 90% of driving will never use the full power of a vtec.

Disclaimer: I've never built a vtec, not even driven one.

great thread, fascinating as always.

I have just received notification of the renewal of my insurance and shocked at the increase. I have a multi car policy with AXA with 2 cars on it. Last year if was €239 and now it's €359. Over 50% increase. Can anybody give me suggestions of other insurances companies that do vintage multi policie...

I've never met a mechanical engineer that couldn't draw beautifully. Great illustration.

how to reset your ECU (MPi) if you replace a sensor.

1] turn ignition on - engine *not* running
2] press accelerator all the way to the floor 10 times
3] turn off ignition

That's a real shame, because it looks like a nice clean car.
Looks like Zircon MET - JNJ (BLVC471)

I'd be looking for a replacement car from the garage during the repair under warranty period.
Or my money back.

axa, and yes, they are quite cheap - its down as a second car, limited mileage but full comprehensive, step back windscreen & recovery etc.

There's always a beeping avensis.

my current jam:

Van Morrison - Real Real Gone
Paul Brady - Nobody Knows
The Cranberries - Zombie

Woody, thanks, you are a legend!

So, I'm on my third relay pack, getting fed up with this, the starter relay seems to have failed again. Thinking of replacing the pack with 4 relays.

Anyone attempted this?

I was about to launch into it when I spotted 4 resistors & a capacitor?

thanks James - i'm on my second one already! they don't seem to last

relay pack?

So..... Anybody know where I can buy 20w50 oil in 1lt or 500ml quantities?
In other news Halfords has it in 5lt tins at €22.95

good stuff!
