and cue Toad! :lol:

The what? :lol:

Thanks you Mr Pops :salute: How did you aquire autodata?

Any idea where the temp sensor is on a 1 litre lupo? :oops: This is it i think[/quote:3cc4s3y5] Hang on thats not the same engine. The oil filler is on the wrong side. I didnt know the engine code when i went to get the plugs, i gave the reg and they found it out for me and told me it was an AUC engine code. Its a 1 litre SE, could you check that for me mate?

8/10 is still pretty damn good though :D Happy Birthday mate.

id definately spend it on something that needs replacing as opposed to adding something to the car. If it was at the point where everything was replace, then id get a 'extra' for the car.

Cool, my concerns with that though is being able to get the plug out, heated up and plugged back in, quick enough. One thing i did forget to tell you was, last night when i was trying to start it i had vagcom hooked up to it and a temp sensor error came up. Could this have any influence?

Dont worry i'll be back if it wont start. :lol: Wouldnt leaving it, even for a few mins allow the excess fuel to evaporate?

Ok i'll give that a try tomorrow. Unforunately the only plugs i could get hold of from the local motor shop were champions, would rather have used bosch or NGK. But still they should still work. Thanks for the help James, it really appreciated fella. :D

Yeah i think we are :lol: What cars are in the classic races then?

I've used a modified Mk1 golf GTi and alfa 2 seater jobbie. Think its the 2000GT... i'll double check that.

Yeah they've certainly saturated the game with Japanese cars.

As above A is plugged to cylinder 1 B to Cylinder 3 C to cylinder 4 and D is cylinder 2 That does mean i had them the wrong way round at one point, 4 and 2. Is it possible to cause damage by doing this? I did put my foot to the floor and tried to start it, it did turn over a few times, but then it just stopped turning over. So i had to turn the key off and try again. I didnt notice that the plugs were wet, they were really black, not sooty (though it could have been that fuel had mixed with the soot) and cylinder 3 and 2 the NGK plus ceramic was cracked, like you said could have happened. They fell apart when i got them out.

Finally had a decent response from clublupo. I have the correct order they should be plugged into the coil pack. The car turns over, it sounds like its trying to start, but just wont fire. :( im at a dead end now.

Can i ask, if the leads are connected incorrectly and i try to start the car, could this damage the engine? im worried about this. Btw 2 of the leads are the same length and going by the order you say to connect them, lead from no.4 was too short to reach D on the coilpack. I ended up putting the 1-A 2-B 3-C and 4-D as the leads reached then. But it just splutters and dies. Wont start :?

got update sorted last night.

still not having it, wont even start now. Ive changed the plugs (which 2 the ceramic was broken), changed the leads, changed to another coilpack. I hate to question you james. But are you sure it goes 1,3,4,2?

RIght James, there are markings on the coilpack, but its not 1,2,3,4 its A,B,C,D. A is plugged to cylinder 1 B to Cylinder 3 C to cylinder 4 and D is cylinder 2 Is this correct? the car wont even start now, its splutters a little but wont fire. Im going to take the plugs out now.

Yeah doesnt take long at all. Alot easier then i thought. If you dont have any water pump pliers, i used a socket large enough to fit over the plastic part of the linkeage and used mole grips to slowly squeeze the linkeage together. Worked a treat.

Also from experience its wise to check the wiper linkeage, get it all greased up and check for wear at the joints. You may have to replace some of the linkage. I say this because ive been caught in the rain before when the wipers have gone kaput due to the linkeage coming off. Also, if you have an aftermarket headlight loom, make sure the relays are water proof - if you dont have an aftermarket loom then get one.

Excellent work mate. The new Battery tray looks tidy! Keep the updates coming. :D

It could well be, was that in the last 2 weeks, because thats about how long i havent played GT for.

Funny you should say that, as i think the exhaust is leaking a little. Though its been like that for months and hasnt stopped the car working. Bar this slight misfire on warm up, but then it goes. :shrug: Cheers Swomp.

oh ffs!!! :censored: New update and its going to take a decade to download it with my shyte internet speed. 608mb. So may not be on tonight myself as i'll be wait hours for it to download (literally), will have to leave it doing it overnight.
