Ive had my car for about a year now. Its a 56 reg and from day one of buying it ive always thought there should be more power coming from the little 77bhp unit. Ive had a few problems with it over the year and its a good job the dealer gave me a years warranty on it. The power steering column needed replacing, the drivers door wouldnt open from the inside, the radiator cracked and last of all just before warranty ran out it started to develop starting problems where it wouldnt start from cold but it took a few goes to get it going.
The last one they at first replaced the temp sensor as that was throwing up a fault code. That didnt work!
So i left it with them for a few more days they then found the problem.
It was the pressure sensor. Since they have replaced it there is a load more power in the car. It accelerates better even at higher speeds.
I have come to the conclusion that they sold me the car with this part at fault all along.
I also replaced the breather hose pipe yesterday as that had split and I was getting the petrol fumes through the vents.
All good. Very happy with the car now.
Just need a GSR induction kit now.
