Hi folks, I need a centre exhaust( the one with the 2 boxes) on my car, as the other one is broken beyond repair. Does anybody know where one can buy from cheap or have one lying around? Thanks

Hi folks, Need some insight. My car developed a knocking sound coming from the front passenger wheel. I can only hear it when going over a bump or dip in the road. No noise when you driving on a smooth road. Any ideas what might be the cause? Thanks
-
Hey, good to hear your car arrived. It must have enjoyed the the first drive after so long! Enjoy! Any latest pics yet?

Folks, are there any Altezza owners in Liverpool, whos car i can have a look at just to compare things. My car has a major idling problem, which messin with my head!

Folks, I've reading allot about the MAF sensor, which is causing the car to idle rough. This is what my car is doing at the moment. I believe it can be cleaned, but can anybody tell me where it is or have pics of how it looks like and the cleaning process, please? Thanks
-
I will try the cleaning of it first and see if that help. Do you have pics of how the air flow sensor looks like? I still have have the old motor, still getting some bits of it.

Hi folks, Just a quick update. The issue has been sorted, there was an earth wire(mentioned by one of you guys) which was not tight enough So did that and it after a few turns it started. However there seems to be another issue; the car revs around 2000rpm constantly and not sure what is causing this. Also when putting my foot on the accerlerator it goes halfway down before it has any effect on the car, which means a huge play on it. Any ideas of how to rectify this? The guy did a diagnostics check on it and the fault was the throttle body sensor etc. Thanks again for the help with this.
-
That is what I will have to do next, as that is what will tell me where the problem is. Thanks for the input all. Will let you know how things go
-
Is this where you do the diagnostic test?
-
It is complete new rebuild engine I've put in.

It is a 1998 Altezza. It is just weird, now when I switch the ignition on the fan come on and a clicking sound from the fusebox(where the diagnostics is done from) but it still does not start. I am also stunt by the response! Forgot to add; the alarm and remote central locking system seems to work fine.

Hi checked earth wires and all seems fine, still not starting There is a funny clicking sound coming from the throttle body when I switch the ignition on. Any ideas why it does that?
-
Thanks for the reply. Where are the earths located? I know there is one on the gearbox where does the other go
-
You might have a point there. But I thought it would have just reset itself to the new engine?

Hi folks, I just replaced the engine on my Altezza (3sge), due to the cambelt snapped on the old engine. But now I have a problem that the car wont start. I checked all the connection, new plugs, cambelt etc.It turns over fine, but just wonts start. I noted that when you turn the ignition on the engine management light start flashing. Any ideas of what it might be or how to get to the root of the problem?
