    Help! Engine runs rough and cuts out!

    UPDATE! Only error code im getting is for the secondary o2 sensor. I erased the code anyway, no better. I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes to reset the ECU and now the car will not start at all. Now this has happened everytime my battery has gone flat, or been disconnected. And if im...

    Help! Engine runs rough and cuts out!

    Eml is on, but I believe that's because the secondary o2 readings are off because of the decat. And the car was running perfect until about a week ago, so I have a feeling it's not from the cat back. It was a sudden change, which is what's leading me to think it's a sensor somewhere

    Help! Engine runs rough and cuts out!

    It was running perfectly until one day it decided to start running funny. It has a k&n typhoon induction, and a full exhaust system now, but otherwise on that side of things it's all standard. Still on the oem ecu for now so no map. Although when I originally got the car 3 years ago it had a...

    Engine cranks but won't start!

    Long story short. I've had my engine out, changed the head gasket, timing chain/tensioner. Timed it all up, put the engine back in. Plugged it all in, only leaving the radiator, cooling fans and aux belt off. At this point I was ready to go home, so I decided to see if it would start before...

    Engine/head removal advice!

    Hey guys, so the seemingly impossible has happened, and my head gasket has blown. I think I know exactly when it all started, but it's definitely got worse over time, and I'm just now starting to see mayo on the rad cap 😩 I've removed engines and changed gaskets before, I work as an engineer...

    Derestricting but keep kph?

    This might sound silly, but is there a way to remove the 180kph limit but keep the speedo/mileage in kilometres? I've got so used to it running in kph, I also think it adds to the car! I've only hit the limit a couple of times but now I'm thinking of taking it out on track and I like the idea...

    Head Gasket

    Has anybody on here changed a head gasket on the dc5 before? Just wondering how long it takes, and what the jobs like in general? Failing that, has anyone paid to have it done and knows a rough cost? I work as an engineer so i have all the equipment i need as well as a mechanical brain to do...
