hello everyone, well its mot time and i need a cat, will the onez on flee bay which say feb 92 to oct 95 uk or import fit my 96 import, if any1 has any suggestions please, cheers.
the cars set up to run rich and emissions test i had done today said it was high so need cat desparately, was wondering if anything needed doing to setup to help with emissions, any1 else had these issues, cheers fd3noob.
Friendly mot shop FTW
do u know of one neil, i\'m in the north east, cheers.
Do you not need a cat for a post-96 car regardless of emissions results im sure?
If you have a PFC and commander you can alter the injector settings. You can also stick a bit of ethanol in the tank to help.
the one down the steet from me is very friendly with FD\'s, not sure if it\'s close to you or not bud

the mot station that did mine said they were pre92, i\'m about 40 miles from whitley bay so would be prepared to travel, what experience have you had with them, cheers nick.
I\'ve had 2 mot there flew through each time, they even had the rex for 3 weeks recently (when it was snowing so wasn\'t using the car and i\'d told them there was no rush) while they traced an electrical problem with the lights, turned out to be dodgy wiring for the rear fog light when it was imported and they only charged £80 despite having spent hours trying to trace the problem. So all in all i\'m very impressed with their work and charges, plus they even dropped the car off home for me
cheers bud will give them a bell on monday morning:cheers
bobbit while i\'m on were do u go for services, fault finding ect, cheers nick.
666 rex, Are you on fduk if so ill pm you for your mot in the boro.
Either find me(jdmr_neil) on there or send me an email,
neil(dot)jdmr(at)gmail(dot)com
Sorry i took a while getting back busy as a mofo at work etc,
Also for your fault finding etc, Rob (bobbit) is very knowledgeable himself and has helped most of us NE rotary guys out from time to time and we generally try to help each other out. As for servicing all the usual stuff is easily DIY done but for tuning/mapping its better sticking to the pro\'s and then its just down to your choosing.
I used WGT in cheshire
Ste (EnvyD) uses Lindop(silverstone autosport) in Northwales
and iirc Rob is siding toward Haywood Rotary North, which is our closest and comes highly reccommended.
sorry neil dont mean to be dumb but what was that about mot in boro, not sure what pm means, lol:3Confused
He wants you to send a personal message on FDUK as he cant recieve them on here as he isn\'t a full member.
:cheerscheers phil
i\'m on fduk now neil.

Servicing on an FD is quite easy if your ok with a spanner, you\'ll find that if you drive it often you\'ll quickly become used to changing spark plugs, oil etc. Fault finding can be tricky, i usually search the internet and try and rule out any potential probs until I find the fault. But as Neil said i\'m happy to offer any help if you get stuck (i love looking round other fd aswell :driving) so feel free to give me a shout if you need a hand bud. I\'ve got the same user name on FD:UK if you need to get in touch.
thanks bobbit your a true gent and i no doubt will be in touch, it would be nice to speak to you in person or on the phone, might be down your way on monday if alls sweet with mi autos for the mot, by the way was yours decated when mot was done, cheers nick.
Yep, got a full racing beat exhaust system so the cat\'s long gone. We\'ll have to arrange a meet up bud, would be good to see everyone again and meet a new face.
