Default Errr I'm new to this

Hello

I own a N plate felicia 1.3 and just bought a performance mod off Ebay. I haven't much in the way of mech knowledge. It says to put the resistor in the iat or engine coolant temperature sensor.

Where are these???????????


Cheers

Welcome to Briskoda. I would put the resistor in the bin and enjoy your car as it is.

Hello and welcome.

Not necessarily, there are modifications available, but unless you go silly they aren't really worth it.

I have some magic oil. I'm selling it for £5 per 250ml. If you ingest it it will make you irresistable to the opposite sex, will remove any grey hairs you have and make you penis 6"s longer* Excellent stuff!

You can also purchase NOS balls that disolve in your petrol tank. They're only available to buy from Des on April 1st though.

Think he's finished the offer, he has had to go away on "business". Last spotted on the M2 driving a real life one of these:
