Moving on from the first car thread, whats the best car youve had?
Doesnt have to be the one that cost the most money or your current car, im sure youll have your reasons why its the best
My car history is as follows
94 micra
97 rover 200
98 primera SRi
2001 almera tino
2000 octy 1.6
2003 octy vrs
The best one and the car id have back today is the primera SRi, it was the first car i bought that had electric everything, alloys, spoiler. And it handled like nothing else. Although not that fast, if i was on twisty roads it would put most things to shame. It never broke, i loved it.

Wasn't it mentioned before that someone got a cam sensor fault code when in fact it was his crank sensor?

Im going to say cam sensor. Although it should still start unless the garage or yourself has confused it with the crank sensor.

Need new rear tyres, i normally go for michelins(personal preference) but due to financial constriants my money is been spent elsewhere on something more important to me. I understand the above tyres are budgets, ditchfinders, false economy etc... But if anyone has experiance with either of the above please share your views.
My mum used to have accelera alpha(i think) on her old astra estate and they were pretty good

Surely they cant be any worse then alot of 2nd cars out there? At least ex police cars are serviced, shoestring or not. Some cars dont even get that, get ragged to death by various owners day in day out and people still buy those and get years of trouble free motoring

Does anyone have a picture of the cheapo ebay induction kit fitted to a vrs?
Im planning on getting one, however my car as an aftermarket alarm and the siren is down near the battery i need to check clearance as best i can. I can move the siren but the wiring is part of the cars standard wiring, proper job. Moving it could be a pita plus dont want any argo on the insurance side if the car is ever stolen/broken into.
Thanks in advance

My flexi started to go by blowing a little. Then it blew some more. The turbo spooling up started to sound like a hammer drill till eventually it snapped off

I got one from a 99 V-reg golf the mechanism is identical but the motor needed to be swapped over.
I guess the motors were changed between 99 & 03 at some point.
