Been enjoying my almost trouble free Chim for nearly two years now. Watched posts on here about all the problems people have and thought I am lucky, don't get problems, just drive. Then it wouldn't start one day, disconnecting the ECU did the trick (thanks Blitzracing). Now all of a sudden it has developed flat spots, idles lumpily, won't start sometimes unless I slap the dash hard, the outriggers are crumbling, the drivers door won't open,the passenger mirror is all loose, the windows are slow, the exhaust make a rasping sound at certain revs and in the rain tonight I coudn't see because the wipers are rubbish and the lights are dim!

I still love it though!

Time to get your hands dirty methinks!

My 14 year old daughter reckons I spend more time in the garage on the chim then with her, so tongue out.

No chance, never selling it even though it drives me mad some days. Taking it down to X Works to get it sorted then off to the South of France in the Summer, can't wait.
