As some of you may, or may not be aware, I swapped my MkII Fabia vRS in for a GT86 which i picked up today.

 

Driven it around 40 miles, come to traffic lights to a horrendous lumpy idle which more or less shook the whole car, gave it a bit of revs whilst driving and it began to misfire (oh the irony!) with the CEL light flashing! back to the dealers.... Theyve now got the car and been given a brand new GT86 to drive round in whilst they sort it.

 

Reading the forums it seems to be something that Toyota have acknowledged and have a fix for so i guess i cant complain, just spoilt the day for me a little bit!

 

Also, the paint on the car is quite swirly, i asked them to machine polish it before i picked it up which they said they did, but, seems just as bad as it was, can anyone recommend a detailer in the Nottingham/Mansfield area??

 

Lastly, as i am not a FREEDOM member, i have some bits from my fabia that i am willing to give away to you guys on here, apart from my ITG Maxogen induction kit which will be going on ebay, so please look out for that on there! I hope the moderators dont mind this, if so, please remove this topic!

I have;

1 x stubby OEM aerial with the o-rings i used

1 x pipercross replacement filter - brand new

4 x litres castrol edge 5w-30 - this comes in; 1 x 1 litre bottle and carry bag, and 1 x 3 litres in the big carton. these are open as i used to fill up my litre bottle from the big one.

1 x black magic touch up pen

1 x candy white touch up pen

2 x sets of OEM headlight bulbs.

 

Let me know if you want anything from here, I can post if you cover the costs, or arrange to meet you in the Nottinghamshire/Mansfield/Chesterfield areas as well as junctions of the M1.

 

Cheers, Ben.

Messaged you about a few bits! Ps love the new car, I still need to have a proper look around one but they look smart! I hope they sort it out for you mate

2nd dibs on the filter.

3rd dibs on the filter! lol... I'd like the headlight bulbs too please

 

sorry to hear about the misfires! and yes, irony, you couldn't make it up!

That's a shame, I'm very jealous! GT86 is a superb car

A work colleague of mine has an 86, and he had the idle problem as well. He reckons his simply "fixed itself".

PM's sent.

All items are now gone to new homes!

Cheers everyone....car is still misfiring in cylinders 1 & 3 so I'm still with my courtesy car (which is a GT86) so it could be worse!
