Does anyone have an FC with no problems

[bonobo]

Just wondering? is it just me or are these cars really Temperamental?
I started with a car that had a whole bunch of little problems, i\'ve fixed some things, then i notice something else! or something new crops up!
 
has anyone got a car where everything works?
all the electrics, gauges, wipers....

for the odd week I have - but as you say, these are older cars and stuff goes wrong.
 
I have a wiper switch to replace, and the headlight circuit to sort, then it should be 100%
 
Keep at it, they are rewarding when everthing is working.  I also use mine as a daily driver, so it get\'s a thorough workout.

mines an egi and its fine, bar the odd bits of rust and the stupidly loud exhaust

i HAD an egi - and everything worked just fine on that

I cant seem to start the engine on mine!

[rmagictastic]

mine has \'character!\'

floods when \'warm\' only, not hot, not cold...  random, am gunn fit a switch on the dash to cut fuel to save me pulling the fuses the whole time.

me thinks dodgy injector or dodgy warm start..  pig!!!

erm, my TII hasn\'t had any problems for a while (it\'s been off the road for 2 years lol!) but, lets look at what has happened so far...

had the car 9 months and threw a tip
rebuild with a "small" half bridgeport
rear brake caliper seized
those are the only problems I\'ve had. (well except for when I managed to cross wire the uprated injector module and burn it out! but that was me not the car\'s fault)

My TII electrics work fine other than the sunroof motor is a bit tired and needs a helping hand to get going. Oh and the dash lights flick between normal/dim sometimes but a bit of percussion maintainance usually fixes that.

actually the sunroof does require a bit of a helping push sometimes!

And yes it is the very car, should be ready soon, although with Chris Impey\'s car having thrown a tip at Pod on Saturday I suspect there may be a delay again...

if people keep questioning that you actually have the car, why dont you take a picture of the engine bay with a bag of hovis sitting on the engine

its what people used to do on another forum i  know because people kept on faking that they owned cars

[sadgoth]

all anyone has to do is look at the members rides the pics are in there!

[dthebuk]

must be a joke im missing out on

All mine have been fine, even the black one i am selling, just changed a few things for the MOT and flew through.  Mind you my white car was a strip and rebuild of the entire car but then it was my choice and not because there was anything wrong( changed the loom to S5). I have not had any problems at all, it works just fine.  I think that its important to maintain these cars, even simple things like keeping the engine bay clean, periodically inspect the brake system etc etc will do the car wonders.  This is not implying that those cars that have problems are not looked after as i know thats not the case but its the same for ANY car, ignore it and eventually it will just let you down.  Might have been that simple slow power window that only needed a slight adjustment and a bit of grease and now after 2 months the motors blown !!  just an example but its all too true.  Tinker, tinker and do more tinkering.

Mine is fine,

Apart from Speedo needs  a converter fitting, shows 80 when doing 50,  
Passenger window goes up slowly.
Interior light isnt working
Exhaust is blowing,

apart from that, it starts everytime, and goes like stink
