SpeedFreak Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Its good that you have got it back mate, and that is repairable.Shame there's so much damage, but at least it wasn't burnt out.Can't believe they had a mashete with them! They were obviously intent on taking the car with no one stopping them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sk8chris Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Sounds like it's misfiring. How does it drive? A new set of spark plugs and a good service should see you right. Don't forget if there is damaged wiring then it could be shorting out on something.Bourkeyno i havnt driven it yet my insurance cancelled so someone else had to drive it back for me its being taken to a family friends garage though and there going to look over everythingYeah Whalley range... There are are sum noobs from down there.. 200miles.. wow.. must of been up to sumit.. and in them 200miles police only seen it once?lol..

Galliano Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 this is the thing, its stupid, my mum often goes on the tills in homebase, and it gets flagged up when buying a cutlery set, that they need to have ID... but when strimmers and seceteers go through, nothing is asked.. stupid!

minxy Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 thats pretty savage on the car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sk8chris Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 thats pretty savage on the car!worse thing is when i had reset the miles after putting some petrol in in was on 7 and when i go the car back it was on 227 and thats how its been driven for all those miles after i've always driven it carefully and maintained ita thought for people who know more about engines than i do, since the car has been thrashed on normal roads its probably been on the motorway at some point and i still have the limiter on so its probably been at a constant 112mph for quite stretch is this something that could have damaged the engine and be causing this idling problem?

sk8chris Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 got the news on repairs i need to make on the GT back from the garage today, i need a new steering column and everything with it, new lock set, new door and a few other things either way its been priced up to about £600 just for parts and thats not including the cam belt which is due, so thats really pissed me off that i have to spend all this money just to get my car back to the way i always kept it instead of using the money on new parts.hopefully i can get the parts myself ive already come across a steering column but its from a 92 GT im just wondering if it will fit my 95 quadlight before i buy it?thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
