    Standard air box query??

    My idle just feels a lot more lumpy at the moment and sometimes there feels a lack of power when accelerating. Why would changing to 95 make it better surely it will always run better on 98 as that's what the ECU is programmed for ??

    Standard air box query??

    I have tried the thrashing yes ... the T seems to be temperamental sometimes pull hard at the low rev band and then puts you back in your seat when it hits the wonderful 5000rpm and other times feels real sluggish and the 5000rpm band doesn't do much! Been reading into the acoustic valve a lot...

    Standard air box query??

    Thanks a lot for the feedback. I have just ordered a CAF 76mm diameter. I am going to remove the AV and leave the original CAF in place with the new ordered CAF placed on the bottom grill and facing the original CAF just for some extra cold air in that area. Worth ago got nothing to lose. Good...

I hate modified cars and other than the HID's my T is completely standard with just 14K on the clock, They make to trophy look real smart if they...

    Standard air box query??

    I managed to find the thread on the acoustic sensor and there seems to be mixed views some say power increase some say power loss ?? Is it worth me taking out?? also do you think it would beneficial to redirect the cold air feed pipe or replace with a larger pipe as mine seems to be very crush

    Standard air box query??

    The standard air box seems to have two inlets for air. One with a cold air feed pipe that disappears somewhere underneath the nearside headlamp and another inlet without any cold air feed. Is this right ? Still having trouble with my T :(

    A reason for lack of power ???

    oh just another few things to add... it seams to be a little louder when i accelerate hard and just not feel as fast. At idle it is now much more lumpy than usual. It had its major service 4 months ago and has covered 1200miles since then Past its M.O.T last week with emissions being all OK so...

    A reason for lack of power ???

    The other week i posted a topic on here about my trophy not feeling the same as it normally does and a little sluggish. It only became apparent to me the other day that.... 4 weeks ago i fitted some HID's, it was straight after this that i noticed the lack in performance. So i had a look tonight...

    Pompy Trophy

    I don't live round Portsmouth, I come from Hertfordshire but during the week I stay at highbury college as it's where my apprenticeship is based. I use to drive down to college in my T but stopped after it was badly keyed across my bonnet. Now it just hibernates in my garage at home :(

    Lack of power

    just booked the trophy into a local garage for them to have a look. When I went on Saturday they seemed to think it was running to rich and therefore explaining the lack of power and the reduced MPG. My Trophy is also idling a lot worse than it has ever done before, so that maybe due to it...

    Horn

    From what you have posted it sounds like the connector switches under the steering wheel case between the cover and airbag. I had a similar problem and found the contacts under the steering wheel to be very dirty, gave them a clean and now works fine. And the horn is located behind the front...
