lol, it's the same sensor :) Just getting a bit worse.

After the last meet, it started behaving itself and I had absolutely no problems at all. Then, at the start of October the problems came back.

Now, with the cold starts, the sensor must be getting very confused and so is dumping WAYYYYYYYYYY too much fuel into the engine. It's fine if I start it in the morning, but if I leave it parked at work for the day and come back out to it, it'll start up ok. If I go to drive off, I'll get up the road to a junction, dip the clutch and the revs will go right down to 0 :(

Ah well, at least it starts back up almost instantly which is one less thing to worry about.

The worst thing is, is that the sensor costs a mere £17 to replace. I just can't afford it at the moment.

. Driving home from work earlier on, the ambient temperature was very low and the roads were dry. The car was gripping brilliantly and getting the power down nicely! I absolutely love this little 1.4 when conditions are just right. It bloody flies!

You ever been in a fast car ? :p

you seem to have 214 drivers syndrome, think its a mutation of the 306td illness
 
lol :D Ahh bless, we were all young and easily impressed once.

Just remember - anyone with a proper car going to this - don't give agw_01 a passenger ride unless you don't mind him whacking one off in your passenger seat. :D

Poor agw, he s getting a lot of stick in this thread. :D
 
Ahh he knows we're only ribbin him. :)

Kinda asking for it really though - a Rover 214 is not nippy, fast, quick, pokey, zippy or any other word even remotely associated with speed. :D

Not if I want to afford petrol for the meet.

LOL at the rest of these replies. Good job I've got a SOH. You guys could reduce someone to tears :D

Simon, I had a ride in a 280bhp Pulsar a couple of years ago. That was fun! I distinctly remember shouting naughty words everytime the guy put his foot down :D

lol, 214 syndrome. I like the sound of that. It's not like I'm a regular participant in traffic-light GP's though :p And yes, the 1.4 is the fastest car I've ever driven :D

cymatty, well now you come to mention it, there's a little mod you can to do to unleash one million horsepower :p

merlin, I can see you've never driven a Rover 214. They're the fastest things going! I think you should swap your Teg for one. You WON'T go back!

I didn't block you for asking me to edit a thread title for you :)

I deleted you cos a) you were being a sarcy **** and b) I never talked to you and needed the room...

Hey, I had a 1.25 before I had the Clio. I know what it is to have a slow car.

I never called mine a rocket though :D
