Hi lads hope you all had a good xmas and new year. ive got a k reg 2.0 16 v and im having problems with the engine cutting out on me. The car starts fine everytime n runs gr8 for the first 3 minutes or so but after this time the engine seems to stall n keeps loosing power. i was told that it could be a problem with my idle control valve but i replaced this today and the problem still persists. ive checked all the pipe work n everything seems fine . Please Help any suggestions will be greatly appretiated. Thanx

Hi guys ive just bought myself a 1992 2L 16V and its a great car apart from a couple of problems which i hope you can help me with? 1. When i turn the lights on my windscreen wipers decide to come on full pelt and the only way to turn them off is to put the lights on high beam. Is this Common? Any ideas on how to fix? 2. The previous owner has lowered the car but got a bit carried away its sitting about 10mm off the ground at the front bumper! is there any suspension you would recomend? im looking for about a 40-60mm drop from standard. Any info would be appretiated Cheers
