Poor running

After my rebuild car was running fine, but now i've got a low rev/low throttle misfire/hesitancy!

Any ideas where to start looking?

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Electrics

Damage to wires at back of cluster? bulbs in cluster gone (unlikely, but you never know.....would suggest a further issue tho if all went)?

Re: 205/55/15 rear's

Couldn't you just use 45 profiles? I doubt there will be much of a difference in real world terms. Alternatively is it possible to get hold of 235/45 or 235/50 more easily? Failing that, just ignore everybody's advice and fit 205's on the rear :lol: don't think those sizes exist (have only glanced ...

Re: 205/55/15 rear's

Camskill do Toyo T1R in 225/50/15. Rather than put skinny tyres on the back, I'd either buy the correct size, or buy some 16s/17s.... Only E rated for wet....which is where i want my grip. Uniroyals are A. Don't like non standard wheels, so 16/17's aren't happening! I still got fair tyre life left ...

205/55/15 rear's

With fewer and fewer tyres now available in the proper 225/50/15, i'm strongly considering changing to 205/55's. Reason for that size is i could then get uniroyal rainsport 3's which i just fitted up front and am amazed by (mega hard to lock up even in heaviest of rain, no light steering at speeds a...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Red engine fan warning symbol

Check wire to the engine bay fan would be where i'd look....easy to knock whilst doing alt i would've thought (could have been very deteriorated inside)

Re: Insurance

My understanding is NCD is irrelevant for a classic policy

However, if you don't have another normal policy with your NCD attached to it, it lapses after a certain amount of time
