this ones a 2l petrol so finding any useful information on the engine is pretty tricky. I've got a cold idle issue at the minute which is doing me nut in and i can't find a diagnostic port to get it plugged in.

the diesel versions seem pretty good though i just couldn't afford one at the time.


Great job Nick, lookin nice.

Megasquirt it - that'll sort your cold issue and you'll be abe to tune it yerself !

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

i was dead set against wheels and lowering when i bought it but i'm changing my mind slowly i think. Definately don't want any massive rims and i still like being able to hit speed bumps at 40 without feeling them or losing the sump.

Keith Timpson has lowered his T5 a bit (I think it is Sportline spec) and put 18's on but in fairness the tyre profile is still huge so it soaks up the bumps well

bit of an update, had a great time at the riv run and spent the rest of the week touring cornwall.

Still lots to do on the interior but it's fully functional for now so i'm going to tinker with the mini for a bit.
