Hi Got a Schuey sporting. Other than the fact that I feel it will fall apart I do enjoy the drive! Anyway I filled the tank and drove to the NEC from London. And back. I got 310 miles out the tank. The light was on and needle was well low. It seemed to go slow. Then a quarter way down it went well fast. Then slowed. All very odd. Didn't think it'd get 300 but I did!

Oh and also when I accelerate It sort of holds back here and there. Could idle better as well. Obviously healthy or I wldnt get decent MPG. I read these cars suffer flatspots. Even MPI?

Pesky car! (I like it though!)

Take what the guage says with a pinch of salt, its a cento trait that the fuel guage misreads, no problems on that front.

Im gonna kill you for the silver pedals and handbrake cover and gear gaitor surrounds :D
 
thanks lads.

P.S. you can keep the pedals. they're ****e. your feet slip off if they're wet from rain. well handy! (n)

Ive got the same pedals, you have the silver covers over the top you could only get on schueys, plus the silver gear surround and the handbrake cover.

You are the envy of every other sei owner

Not me!


Do you know when your fuel filter was last changed? If it is more than 15,000 miles change it. Also MPI standard airboxes have a habit of popping off their pipe in the bonnet. Where the pipe from the airbox joins to the front of the car, make sure it hasn't slipped off, thus pulling in warm air.
