Re: Running rich

Aha, IACV noted, I'm on a learning curve here. I guess it is a little 'old school' to go for the run it at the rich end of the spectrum though I have heard of bore wash in engines occurring from over fuelling. I guess that is more from rich running throughout the rev range other than just idle? I wo...

Re: Running rich

Wot he said. I probably have a spare temp sensor and IACV in my garage if you want to borrow them. I had issues with running rich quite a few years ago, turned out to be a leaky inlet gasket - having changed temp sensors IACV etc. Quick and easy way to check that is to spray carb & air filter clean...

Re: Running rich

Cheers Shug, I'll seek out some replacement sensors - Elise Parts I guess is the best place? It is running completely standard (190 factory upgrade) and original exhaust with cat I believe. Emissions for HC, CO and lambda were all high. The garage suggested putting in Forte engine clean stuff - I'm ...

Running rich

Hi folks I'have acquired an S1 Exige - what a wee machine it is too, my word, an absolute experience from the minute you see it, and then starting her up,, wow! But that's where it is perhaps a little more eye watering than it should be. It does smell a bit rich and that was confirmed at the MOT yes...

Re: Hi from Glasgow

I'm hoping to make it along to the track day and ideally get on track (on the reserve list!) - in fact I reckon I'll turn up anyway to meet up and have a chat with folks. Hopefully the running rich issue will be sorted by then.

Hi from Glasgow

Hi guys n gals I thought I should properly introduce myself although I have made a few posts already. I have owned an S1 Exige since last year - staggeringly awesome little car. I'll try and attach a photo or two in due course. I do have a question in fact about the fuelling so I'll post over in the...

Re: Rock climbing shoes NLC

If that's what he knows he likes and he's used to them then it doesn't really matter where you get them. Go Outdoors do reasonable deals occasionally and if he needs a chalk bag too (and harness) it may bw worth looking at deals - tell specifically which shoes you want - Tiso or Ellis Brigham at TCA...

Hyundai i20 Active 5dr

Perhaps not the place to find a captive audience for a car of this ilk,... however, my mum's car is up for sale and for what it is for the right kind of owner it is a good little car. Active spec, 2013, 11k miles, great condition! http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/hyundai/i20/hyundai-...

Re: SIDC at Knockhill Saturday 5th September

I'm really just wanting to explore the handling ability of the car so steady laps is a good way... I'm in the same boat with the same car so will be interesting to compare notes. :-) That's awesome Ferg, glad to hear there are other first timers - to me this whole mid engined thing is totally new, ...

Re: SIDC at Knockhill Saturday 5th September

Thanks for the tips folks, appreciated :) I'm really just wanting to explore the handling ability of the car so steady laps is a good way to go with plenty of rests and ideally some pax laps ;)

Cheers
